Custer's Revenge

This is the title of the Atari 2600 game that GameSpy has recently named the Most Shameful Game of all time. I won't bother going into an in-depth description because the article does a fine job, but lets just say it's a graphical nightmare of a porno game where General Custer marches nude around the battlefield having "consensual bondage sex" with Native American women.

I was tickled by this article because GameSpy didn't bother to do the "Worst Games of All Time" bit because that is kind of a dead horse. Even the most rudimentary upstart video game blogs have their own list worsts. Instead, in very "Monstro" fashion, they decided to go with Most Shameful. As a result this list includes a lot of games that were travesties because they ruined otherwise-great pop culture icons like E.T. and Superman. Then there is Custer's Revenge, which is just fucked up.
