10 Awful Video Games Based On TV Shows

10. ALF

NBC had a hit on their hands with this sci-fi sitcom and back in the late eighties you couldn’t walk past a toy store without seeing some kind of ALF effigy glaring at you from behind the window – for a time, he was the cuddliest alien that had ever graced screens. However, while it was all very well having a stuffed toy or grabbing a pack of ALF top trumps, you weren’t quite so wise if you forked out for a copy of ALF on the Master System.

Pitched as an adventure game with some action thrown in the mix, players have to navigate ALF around the Tanner homestead, looking for parts of his space ship, some salami to snaffle, and also some bats to get into a ruck with. At the time, critics had issues with everything from the gameplay to the even then outdated graphics, so just imagine what it looks like now. Unsurprisingly, this cosmic mess was ALF’s sole voyage on consoles.
