Not as bad as the ET game. . .

Today, I have learned one of the great mysteries of the universe: the origin of Strong Bad

Yea, verily. Where'd you find it?

It started with a post in [livejournal.com profile] girl_gamers about Something Awful's compilation of the worst video game screen titles, then there was a comment with the list of the 20 worst NES games, and eventually I stumbled on that gem and *Ding* enlightenment.

I'm glad to say I've never played any of those games.

I *have* played ET, and, just, Wow...

I played ET too. I just remember it scaring the crap out of me because all that happened was Evil Government Agents *killing* *me* *dead*. But I was 6 at the time and had a nigh-phobic aversion to game manuals, so all I knew I learned from the box. Which was good, because otherwise I'd have no idea what sort of creature was chasing me down time and time again, leaving me crying in my parent's bedroom (where the Atari was set up so they could keep better track of how long I was using it). I eventually gave up on it and went back to playing the rats-eating-cheese-without-hitting-cats game on my Vic20.

Ah, 3 Blind Mice. I remember that game.
