10 Video Games That Are So Bad They’re Actually Awesome

2. Harvester

Harvester is a game you can imagine David Lynch writing when he was 12, by way of nonsensical 90s video game logic. It's a point-and-click adventure featuring digitised characters (oh sweet, stupid digitisations!), in which you explore a strange small town called Harvest in search of your girlfriend.

There is almost no sense of direction to the game, the combat is shoddy, and the puzzles inscrutable. And yet, each scene you enter is captivatingly insane, as you talk to the town's strange denizens - including local cultists, a super-gay fire department, an army general with no legs, a murderous schoolteacher and your girlfriend's pervy father who suggests he wants to sleep with her (no, Donald Trump, that doesn't make it OK). Nothing is quite right in the town, and the weirdness of it all is punctuated by wacky and sometimes disturbing FMV cut-scenes.

At the time of its release, Harvester attracted huge controversy for allowing the player to commit brutal acts of violence, even against children, but it's aged so badly in terms of both gameplay and visuals that today it's a funny and genuinely interesting relic from a bygone era that's quite unlike anything else.
