dragonfire21892's game "Frozen" gets my vote for the Terrible Games Contest v1.WTF.
No, it isn't an official entry, but it still gets my vote.

. . .

I never cease to wonder at how these people can think their games are good. This one is so INCREDIBLY bad, it boggles the mind. It seems the author heard that "graphics don't make the game," and thus decided to use bad placeholder graphics until he could get better ones made - a good idea. However, he also made bad placeholder gameplay, dialogue, story, characters, and plotscripting to go with the graphical subparness. That "Phil Arts" could LIKE this game brings my mind dangerously close to imploding as it attempts to stoop to the negative intellectual level of the beings it is dealing with. That these people may one day reproduce frightens me greatly.

Heh, although I agree that the game is certainly nothing to be amazed over, let's not be too harsh. For all we know, dragonfire could be in elementary school and just got OHR and wanted to make a game. Just because the game is poor does not mean we should rip into and criticize the author as far as you did.

Some people make awesome games, and some people don't. Let people make what they will and let people enjoy what they will, but don't criticize people for feeling proud of an accomplishment they made, however large or small it may be.

Remember, CP should be a friendly community that HELPS people becoming better game makers, not burn people so badly they are afraid to show their face on CP.

Apologies for the direct personal insults in my previous post. The statement concerning reproduction was, I agree, totally uncalled for and without basis. However, it remains a fact that the game itself is quite, quite bad.

Going to have to agree with Me on this one. Any game that I give up on within the first ten seconds usually isn't worth playing, and I was actually disappointed because the story seemed like it could be potentially interesting based on the description in the download page. After being thrown off on some kind of car with no prior explanation as to what was going on, however, I stopped playing.

The beginning of the game is the most important part of it, and this game's beginning is horrible.

Played it. Not going to review it though. If anything this game feels like one of those 'first game I made to test plotscripting'. I'm not trying to be demeaning, it's just that theres no show of potential with this one. Message for the creator: look around here more, check out just random games see what you can get for more ideas. The pitched plot sounds different, you can really get somewhere if you work on it.

My game was not very good, but I thought some people might like it. I don't know if any of you guys got to then ski and fire mini games but it took me awhile to do those. There pretty good. I have to admit that my graphics are nothen to be proud about.

The reason why I like your game is because of 2 things about this game:
1:good story
2:good music
