Released only on the original PlayStation, The Simpsons Wrestling was essentially a fighting game set in a wrestling ring, featuring characters from... well, you know where they're from. It was 2001, when everything Simpsons was still a gold mine when it came to licensing.

Insert the Yogurt/"merchandising" scene from Spaceballs here.

The controls were awful, the graphics were garbage, and, worst of all, it just wasn't fun. In its defense, it had original voice work from the actual cast of the show. And there were plenty of Simpsons cameos and Easter Eggs throughout.

But, in general, this and Simpsons Skateboarding are both regarded as some of the worst games of all time. It actually controls better than Skateboarding, but that's like saying something controls better than sitting, drunk, on the back of an angry bull, a bull which is also drunk.

I'm also afraid to tell you that the rest of the games on this list really aren't that much better.

Did you play Simpsons Wrestling back in the day? Are we being a little too harsh on it? Let us know in the comments section down there.
