10 Celebrity Endorsed Video Games That Should Offend You
10. Chuck Norris Superkicks
If you thought that crappy celebrity-endorsed games are a new phenomenon, think again! This masterpiece came out in 1983 for the Atari 2600, as well as some of its alternatives like the Commodore 64 and the Colecovision (apparently they had high hopes for it). Ok, you might be thinking Hey, its an Atari game, lower your standards. However, it sucks even for an Atari game because they somehow managed to mess up the controls. How is that possible? The 2600 controller has only one button. Yeah, its almost a little impressive. Instead of having that one button for kicks, you have to hold it down and then move the joystick side to side and that makes Chuck Norris kick. Also, saying that the gamer gets to play as Chuck Norris is being generous. Its an Atari game, the graphics are just a step above stick figures. There are no distinguishing features that would suggest to you that you are kicking butt as Chuck Norris. Well, actually, this worked out in the companys favour. At one point, their Chuck Norris license expired. All the company had to do was rename the game Kung Fu Superkicks and it was good to go again.
