10 Video Games We All Used To Love (That Actually Totally Suck)

1. Tetris

I hate TetrisLoved on: Every computer and operating system in history - 1984 Russian-made blockbuster Tetris has frequented many "Greatest Game of All Time" lists. It has sold more than 70 million copies on gaming units. On smartphones since 2005, it has shifted a further 100 million copies. That's a combined total that outsells the Michael Jackson's Thriller (the best-selling album of all time) by double. Sucks because: It's just a never ending stream of blocky dirge - the kind you can imagine falling out of a LEGO man's guff-muscle, who every now and then sticks his finger up at you as he forms the one obscure shape you didn't need. Quite why it resonates with people worldwide is a mystery - a game as tedious as stamp collecting on an entertainment medium built for technical thrills. Knight Lore, Elite, 1942 and Paperboy also came out in the same year, so don't go blaming hardware limitations. Tetris is boring, and it hates you. Agree? Disagree? What fond gaming memories do you have that were all horrible lies? Let us know in the comments below!
