Worst Games Ever

["Don" <coach41@pacbell.net>]

Hi all,

Hope all is well!  We all usually tend to ask "what was the Best
Software/Hardware/etc ever for the Apple II...", I'd like to take a
different approach.  Namely, what were the worst games you ever played
on your Apple II?

We all have great memories of our Apple II computers but I'm sure we
all remember some duds that had us saying "what the heck were they
thinking?"

My votes go to a couple of games I bought from a bargin bin at Kay-Bee
toys back in the late 80's/early 90's:

Nitro Alert (some alien space shooter)
Highway Trap (some ground based car shooter)

Both games were prodcued by a company I have never heard of: Ala
Software.  While the descriptions on the box sounded promising, but
games were major disappointments.  I was expecting some high action and
good graphics.

Instead, I got games that seemed there designed for the public domain.
Graphics were poor and the games were limited to a single screen with
no vertical or horizontal scrolling.

I guess I should have known better than to expect much from the Bargain
Bin.  :)  I did some searches online and it does appear Ala made
software for the Atari 8 bit machines, perhaps they thought they could
make some quick bucks with the Apple II.

Worst of all, I picked up a couple of "application" software from Ala
as well (at the same bin).  My dad never did find much use for it.  :D
