10 Worst No. 3's In Gaming History

If Earthworm Jim stumbled into the third dimension then Bubsy tripped, fell down a flight of stairs and stabbed its eyes out on one of the game's many flat, textureless polygons.

Now, to be fair to the developers, no-one was expecting miracles from Bubsy 3D.

So it's safe to say expectations weren't high when Bubsy 3D came out.
