10 Movie Video Games EVERYONE Missed

4. White Men Can't Jump

No one is going to blame you if you haven't heard of the White Men Can't Jump game. Not only was it irredeemably terrible, it was only available on the Atari Jaguar - a console nobody bought!

To its credit, this tie-in really tries to emulate the feel of the movie. While the player is dribbling or dunking, the characters constantly trashtalk each other to throw them off their game. Even though this is a neat idea, you'll have heard every soundbite the game has to offer after playing a single match. Once you hear the same insults dozens of times, you'll want to play on mute.

Then there's all the other reasons this dumpster fire doesn't work. The graphics are blocky, the animations are janky, and the controls are unresponsive. However, it's the camera perspective that turns this mediocre game into unbearable drivel. The way the camera keeps swooping back and forth, you'll be left too dizzy to carry on.

Not only is White Men Can't Jump one of the weakest games on the Jaguar, it's arguably the worst basketball game ever.
