So by the looks of things there hasn't been a thread made for this topic yet, but I've always found it to be an interesting one.
Companies that produce games so awful that they fade into obscurity the second they hit store shelves, not even creating the notoriously bad games that make so many "Bottom 10" lists today.
I've always found it odd that games can be so awful and yet so unrecognised by gamers.
These companies call themselves "Budget developers", and use it as an excuse to create games with the most minimal effort possible, sometimes even rendering the games unplayable.
One of these companies for me is Midas Interactive. I think they were a JP & EU-only team (correct me if I'm wrong) but I own some of their games and oh god are they awful. Skyscraper, for one, is a game I bought from the PS2 "Classics" (and believe me, I use that term VERY loosely) on PSN for about £2 because I thought it'd be a fun, if low budget romp for the night.
Boy, was I wrong. The controls are bugged to hell, the voice acting is laughably awful, the level design resembles a group of waiting rooms & doctors' offices strung together by beige corridors and the flash game-level puzzle you have to complete at the end of EVERY level can sometimes be LITERALLY UNCOMPLETABLE.
So, I ask you, do any of you know of another company like this?
