10 Worst Power-Ups In Gaming History

10. Light Amplification Visor - Doom

We’ll start with a classic, Doom.

Some power-ups don’t need immense detail to explain. They sit on the floor, sometimes they spin, sometimes they glisten. Walk into them, boom, you’ve got some health, armour, invincibility or increased ammo.

Doom, alongside Mario, was a master at offering a variety of cool things, but as you can expect, they weren't all great.

Take the Light Amplification Visor. You could get resistance to irradiated sludge, a backpack or temporary invincibility while you rip and tear.

If you pick up the visor, though, you'll get... a pair of goggles... that brighten your screen.

The issue here is that Doom doesn’t really need full brightness. Sure, it’s not going to illuminate your bedroom during the dark hours of the night, but a pair of specs to light up the demons they're already more than visible just isn't a useful ability. Especially when compared to, I don't know, being invincible.
