14 Video Games You Should Never EVER Play

During the 1990s, the Philips company agreed to create a CD-ROM drive for the Super Nintendo if they were allowed to make a Legend of Zelda game.

When this plan fell through, Philips created two Zelda games for their own system, the Philips CD-i. The games, The Faces of Evil and The Wand of Gamelon, were released simultaneously and a third game, Zelda's Adventure, was released two years later.

The games are infamous for their dreadful cut-scenes, which were made by four Russian animators over six months. The animations are so bad, you'd swear it was made on Microsoft Paint (and maybe it was).

Although this is what the games are mainly criticised for, everything about these games is appalling. The voice-acting is dreadful, the controls are imprecise, and the collision detection is all over the place. Sometimes, your save file disappears with no warning, making you lose all your progress.

The difficulty level is really sporadic. Many regular enemies are punishingly difficult while most of the bosses can be defeated in one hit.

Ironically, The Legend of Zelda games were considered the best games on the Philips CD-i. That should give you a good idea of the quality of the console.
