Widely regarded as one of the worst games of all time, if we're talking about titles rife with broken elements that kids and teenagers put up with because hey, it was still Superman, look no further than Superman 64.

An utter turd of an experience, actually controlling Superman was hopeless as he had a mind of his own, but more fascinating was the reality of the game's development, where creative opportunities were quashed at every turn.

According to the game's producer Eric Caen when speaking to ProtonJon.com, DC were impossible to deal with, forcing Titus Interactive to remove the vast majority of the ideas they had for the full game.

The whole idea of a "virtual world" rather than actual Metropolis was because they didn't like Kal-El "kicking real people", and after an initial shipping date was missed by 6 months due to constant in-fighting, Caen noted that Superman 64 was "not even 10% of what we intended to do", saying "the licensor killed us".

Superman 64 was so reviled and laughed at, that a "75% complete" PS1 version was cancelled altogether.

Still, maybe you were one of those kids or teens trying desperately to enjoy the fact you could still fly... kinda, and throw cars... kinda.
