7. Beavis and Butthead (SEGA/SNES)
Just typing the game's name makes me smile in memory. It was easily one of the most challenging and diverse titles available on the Sega Genesis/Megabox. In this pseudo-side scroller players took control of either the fart wielding Beavis or the belching Butthead. You spent the entire time attempting to gather all of the pieces of your shredded GWAR concert tickets by running around town and avoiding random crap being thrown at you by passerby, because apparently people really just hate the shit out of Beavis and Butthead. But the game was deeper than a basic side scroller. There were levels of racing, platformer levels, and heavy combat zones. And, the game required players to do a small amount of point and click style puzzle solving based on collecting objects and interacting with the environment. In essence, it was the only side scroller/ adventure game ever made. Also, GWAR! This game was a landmark in pop culture crossovers. Not that there hadn't been a million videogames made about movies before. But, this was the first time that a game based on some other piece of pop culture was both good AND creative in its own right. With solid voicing, a great soundtrack, a sense of humour honest to the series, and graphics that were actually quite high quality for the time there was nothing bad about this game, other than it was mind numbingly hard. Of course, you know where this is going. Critics hated it, giving it as low as at 5/10 score. The one exception being the level design. To this day, the sewer level of Beavis and Butthead is cited as one of the best examples of level design in the history of gaming. That's the history of all games, ever. As in, it's as good as Mario. The game did see pretty decent initial SNES and Genesis sales based on the popularity of the show, but the sales quickly dropped off as the word got out that it apparently sucked.
