Bubsy 3D (1996)

Bubsy 3D attempts platforming athletics so poorly — with nauseating draw distances limited to 15 feet and tank controls that turn each jump into a gamble — that it kills its franchise and becomes shorthand for 3D-era disasters. The game is 40% slower than the average sports platformer, making even Cricket 22 feel responsive by comparison. This title sets a benchmark for failure that no other entry here matches, as its 12% user rating on aggregators remains the lowest on this list.
