Awful games that became cult classics

There are bad video games, and then there are the truly awful, or utterly baffling, games. While some are just kind of dull and are quickly forgotten, you could argue that maybe they are the lucky ones. Who wants to be remembered for being bad? Well, some games have no choice. There is something about their strangeness or atrociousness that secures their place in history. Their infamy will live on, and on occasion their fame will surpass that of even good games.

However, some of these titles really hook into people. They get under their skin in one way or another. Suddenly, an affection, or at least a fascination, for them begins to form. The idea of a movie that is "so bad it's good" is a long standing tradition since before video games even got into people's homes. Video games are still lagging behind other elements of culture in terms of awful titles gaining cult status, but it does happen. Some truly bad games have indeed become cult classics. Here are ten of them.
