Which is the worst video game of all time?

Just what the subject says. For my money, it has to be ET: The Extraterrestrial for the Atari 2600. The object of the game is simple: ET has to find 3 pieces of his phone by falling down pits, then get back to the forest where the mother ship dropped him off, and phone home. Sounds simple, right?
Well... no. The pieces of the phone are buried deep within pits, and to get out again, ET has to stretch his neck and levitate out. This proved to be so hard that many people simply gave up in disgust. The primitive graphics didn't help much. 5 million copies of the game were made, but very few were ever sold, and this led to Atari going bankrupt back in 1983.
So what's your worst game of all time, hmm?
