For those of who were fortunate to miss their heyday, LJN was an infamous video game publishing company in the late 80s and early 90s known for their work on publishing terrible games, mostly based on popular films, comics and TV shows. Today, we're looking at what we consider to be the worst of the worst. So sit back, and try to enjoy. We apologize for the flashbacks.

'LJN. You know what that stands for? 'Laughing Joking Numbnnuts'
- The Angry Video Game Nerd
Here’s another good nickname for LJN.
“Let’s Just Not”.
It fits their lack of effort in game making.

Still better than phoenix game

@@biomecaNICK Ok, Maximum Carnage is a exception. In fact, when I made this commentary back then I didn't watched "Wish List Part 2" yet at the time.
@@halfhawk718 ahahaha lol when I first play that game I had no clue about LJN. very nice beat em up and also enjoyed roger rabbit, but had nothing else to play soooo lol. have a good day sir
@@biomecaNICK Same to you.
"Why did LJN have to make EVERY NES movie adaptation? Couldn't they give someone else a try? No! They wanted to incorporate the entire spectrum of awfulness! Purple for putrid gameplay, Blue for bad musical abominations, Green for graphical farts and garlic, Yellow for piss-poor lack of loyalty to source material, Orange for aren't you a fucking idiot and Red for high-stress anger enducing masochism. Put it all together and you've got all the colors of the Shit Rainbow! Hurray LJN!"
The Angry Video Game Nerd
Well, thankfully, he was slightly wrong - because it was Sunsoft who made the Batman 1989 movie adaptation and it was great 👍🏻
This list owes A LOT to AVGN.
all the game footage is from his channel. you really think watchmojo bought a copy to test them?
YES
I think a shoutout should do it! AVGN deserves WAY more subscribers and attention than he’s actually getting. And he’s been on UA-cam for 15 years and made over 1 THOUSAND videos. 1.3k to be exact

"Top 10 Worst LJN Games"
first thing to come in mind : AVGN
yunes brejan They were obviously inspired by him to make this list.
As the AVGN would say "WHAT ERE THEY THINKING???"
VIETNAM FLASHBACK
Oh thank goodness no one said DURRRRRP iYs ArE N0T E R E
I see WatchMojo are sinking their fangs deeper into AVGN.
Speaking of which, AVGN did point out a surprisingly very ok game from LJN.
Yes Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage. James said it wasn't grade A gold maybe Bronze level caliber but it does prove LJN can make a good game when they want to.
I gotta give em props, they did do right when they made Super WrestleMania for the SNES too
stufaman you mean maximum carnage?
this video is so useless since the AVGN already covered it all in detail
What about for the people out there that HAVEN'T heard of him?
Eddy79 WatchMojo has no more ideas
Eddy79 WatchMojo has no more ideas
He didn't cover all the games
Eddy79 I don't watch Angry Video Game Nerd, I don't find him funny or informative.
Disliked by 79 ex-LJN employees
82 now
+zeroangelmk1 I disliked it for being uninformed, uninteresting, unfunny, unpassionate and unentertaining. I wouldn't be surprised to learn LJN created this video.
+Peter C Why would they hate on themselves?
I have no idea, but this video had the lack of quality and lack of knowledge of the source material that LJN is infamous for.
In reality, LJN is (or was?) an interesting company, and although I love AVNGs reviews, he only looks at them from one angle. If LJN produced videos, I'm sure they would be higher quality than this one. Here's more LJN history, if you've got a spare 13 minutes... ua-cam.com/video/XdeDtiobyNc/v-deo.html
If WatchMojo wants to ride on AVNG's coat-tails, they should just do "The top 10 best AVNG Videos". Obviously, number 1 would be "Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout".
+Peter C This is WatchMojo after all.
Now we're talking shit.
VERY real shit!
Should've gotten The AVGN to do this list. Everyone on the internet knows how much of a strong vendetta he has against LJN.
Right when I saw the title, I knew AVGN would be in this
Drinking rolling rock on the rolt 'n rocker -AVGN
still tho these game are superior to Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde
Nothing can top that game
But there is that unholy category of games below Jekyll and hyde that avgn mentioned in his life of a black tiger episode with games that can not be called games like big rigs, Hong Kong 97, crazy or desert bus, and the worst of em all, plumbers dont wear ties !!
@@daniyal7903 Desert bus,crazy bus,big rigs and Hong Kong 97 are 100 times worse than plumbers don't wear ties cause you can laugh at how bad it is those other 4 are just awful
Wow that game gave me anxiety
BLATANTLY leeching off James Rolfe (AVGN) with this.
AVGN doesn't have a monopoly on hating LJN games
read description xD
If you were around in the 1980s, you probably had Ljn toys but didn't know it. They were the ones that put out the first WWF figures, also Gremlins figures and most famously, Thundercats!! While their action figures were really good, their video games, as seen here left everything to be desired. Their Friday the 13th & Nightmare on Elm Street games both have a cult following of sorts, though, toy companies even have made action figures based on their versions of Freddy & Jason, so that's something.
Laughing... Joking... (Deep Inhale) NUUUUUUMBNUUUUUUTS!!!
Ah, good old Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts...
lol did avgn help.
what i think they did was what always happen when you watch cinemassacer. watch one video then next thing you know it 5am
+Dillion Harper hello
+The Ultimate Master Obviously, most of the "LJN just sucks" trend is because AVGN xD
I saw the thumbnail and my first thought was that this was an avgn video... Why isn't this an avgn video
Quack.
Do you get along with geese?
+A Duck *sees username* Exactly!
+A Duck hey I remember you your that duck guy that was everywhere
A Nightmare on Elm Street is a great game. Friday the 13th as well.
AVGN: imma prove you wrong buddy
The AVGN made LJN a cult classic 😂😂😂. His over the top reactions every time he realized it was an LJN game was hilarious. Miss him a lot.
The one good LJN game I've ever played was Maximum Carnage.
LJN= The EA of the 80's
Nope
You're right. They're not cruel enough.
+A.S. MC no, EA have good games, Battlefield, Mass Effect, Dead Space, Dragon Age, The Sims
***** Yeah they're all good games. What im refering to is how EA treats their cutomers.
A.S. MC Well that's not the topic of the video. The topic was games.
to be honest LJN never made these games only publish them for exsample Who Framed Roger Rabbit was made by Rare yes same rare that made Donkey Kong Country and Conkers Bad Fur a Day
Conkers bad fur day was horrible.
And goldeneye 007
Mark, 5:9
Then Jesus asked him "What is your name?"
And he replied "I am LJN, for we are many."
You just tore open wounds from my childhood that I thought were healed. Seriously, simply seeing the ljn icon was groan-inducing. And I definitely agree about BTTF being the most horrid of all.
It brakes my heard
Roger rabbit was such a great film
I doesn't deserve such a worse game
I have a feeling that LJN got buttloads of generic booleg Nintendo games from China and just made slight texture model swaps and text translations and shipped it off to the rest of the world.
I had a lot of fun.with Beetlejuice and Nightmare on elm street... I was a kid... enjoyed the music and.beat them.both....aldo karate kid
This might become AVGN's favourite video. :D
1:43 this narrator is a savage
I actually enjoy "Nightmare on Elm St" and "Friday the 13th" nes games and still play them on occasion. Once you understand how to play Friday the 13th it is actually quite enjoyable, to me anyway!
I can't understand why but I also love Friday the 13th. It was the first game to really scare me as a little kid.
Toasted Zombie Yeah, A Nightmare On Elm Street wasn't really a bad game.
Toasted Zombie I agree. Most people don't understand those games so they call them terrible Hint hint AVGN and Mike Matei
Tbf INDEED, i feel some games were actually blown of proportion for AVGN's humor sake in the reviews, while other's were simply easily that shitty.
Toasted Zombie me to.
Oh man, Bill & Ted....
I had that game when I was around 8 or so and I just could NOT grasp what you were suppose to do in the game. By some miracle one time I made it to the next area but it was pure dumb luck.
Fast forward 20 years and I recently played an emulated version of it for nostalgic reasons. Also I figured "Hey, I'm older now, I'll be able to figure out how to get through the game that had stumped me in my childhood", but I was wrong. Not only are there zero instructions on what you are suppose to do but you have to find clues by JUMPING INTO BUSHES AND FENCES. Seriously, and there's plenty of them in every level. The fact that you can't walk on grass fucks you up in the game way more than this video lets on since most of the clues are off the road and you have to jump all the way to them without walking. Just an absolutely terrible, terrible, horrendous game. Here's AVGN's review on it if you want to see a more in-depth video for one of the worst games of all time:
ua-cam.com/video/1A5B8fXp0aU/v-deo.html
LJN = The Asylum.
+nodinitiative
Nice comparison.
No, that would be Phoenix Games.
ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I actually love Friday The 13th played it so much when I was a kid lol
James Lakeman dude me and my cousin played it non stop for
Hours even tho we kept dying from Jason lol
James Lakeman haha you good I never played it tbh lol but I’m sure it was a good game lol
I crushed Karate Kid more times than I can remember. It wasn't that hard of a game, beeotches!
Some of these games were made by phenomenal developer Rare.
Most of these games are actually really good and fun. Creative as well.
Actually from 1995 to 2000, Acclaim owned the remnants of LJN. LJN was basically a toy company who attempted to ride on the return of the video game craze after Nintendo revived it. Most of the titles were not written by LJN, mostly by publishers overseas. LJN was more a "slap our name on it and publish" business who had no real knowledge of video games or what worked. Its the old "if it makes a few bucks, grab the rights and sell it" quality be damned.
Cough cough Friday the 13th
Josh Davis The whole "All LJN games suck" is a trope that AVGN invented for laughs. I can count three on this list alone that I personally had a lot of fun with when I was a kid.
For me LJN wasn't that bad, I really enjoyed the simpsons games LOL really specially Bart's nightmare, and Maximum Carnage, Spiderman Sinister Six (for SNES) were good too!
Bart's Nightmare was published by Acclaim, LJN (although LJN -= Acclaim since 1990).
Sinister Six doesn't exist on SNES you must be referrering to another Spider-Man game.
AVGN brought me here
Watchmojo: damn i ran out of shitty games
Avgn: i got u coverd B
"We apologize for any flashbacks"
*Number 10 - "Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six"*
Well, that was quick...
what about LJN best games?
ljn doesn't have any good games
+Theminecraftpenguin then you obviously haven't played enough LJN games
+Theminecraftpenguin It does, inly one: Spider man Maximum carnage
+Theminecraftpenguin What about Maximum Carnage?
hahahahaha you're funny
Watching this video I can only conclude that the people at +WatchMojo.com never actually played either Friday the 13th or Jaws as they were actually great games. (Jaws was BY FAR superior to Friday the 13th but in comparrison to other LJN games even Friday the 13th was a top notch) .Jaws especially it was an amazingly acccurate recreation of the movie, for the time period it was about as accurate as you could get in the 8 bit era, had a ton of tension, ans was difficult as anything else in its generation without being cheap about it. I think you NEED to rethink at LEAST the Jaws entry, +WatchMojo.com, an maybe actually try it this time before you pan it.
+kopitarrules
I disagree with Jaws being being superior to Friday the 13th but I agree that most of their games get a bad rap thanks to AVGN ripping on them (most people don't get that it's comedy, not James actual opinion).
+kopitarrules
Oh and I did play those games as a kid when they were NEW and I never had issues with them. I still go back to lots of LJN's games and play them even today close to 30 years later.
CF-105 Games
Hey to each his own as far as which one is better. The one thing I liked most in both games is that they are good at building tension. I love they use sound. It's meant to be a warning that the big bad is coming or near and it translates so well into an "oh shite I need to find my way out of here fast" kind of moment.
I also played both these games upon release, and they both rank among my personal top 20 NES titles of all time. Jaws is about number 4 or 5 and Friday the 13th is about 11 or 12). I haven't gone back to play them in a while as my NES toasterized on my about 10 years ago and I haven't had the coin to replace it yet. I may have to resort to >.>
kopitarrules
If it's just the pins, just get that Blinky Light Win and it fixes that problem. I need to do that for my 2 toaster NES.
Most of the time I play on my top loader (the official one, not junk ass clones although I have a couple of those thanks to people giving me them as presents. I usually keep those around for others to play on at my place as I baby my top loader).
CF-105 Games
No idea what any of that meant >.< there are different kinds of NES machines now? I only ever saw the one. Top Loader? huh? As for what was wrong with it I honestly have no idea it stopped recognizing the cartridges. First it stopped recognizing my gold cartridges (Micro machines etc etc ) then My dragon warrior ones, Then Final Fantasy, Then everything. Then it stopped turning on at all. I am fairly certain it got tossed into the garbage in one of the (no joke/exaggeration) 17 moves I have had since it died. Like I say I am not even sure I still have my original carts anywhere (Much was lost, sad times) I do intend to rebuild, it's just things like this tend to be hella expensive off of ebay. Now that I am settled I will start going to flea markets again and see if I can regain a NES and some games as well as a SNES and some games. Until then I may have to resort to more nefarious methods to play games I love. :(
I'm early better make a joke...... ljn
+Dillion Harper ha ha
*Sings the angry video game nerds theme song* Dum dum du du du dum dum dum dum dum DUM!!!! He's going to take you back to the past to play the shitty games that suck ass he rather have a buffalo take a diarrhoea dump in his ere he rather eat the rotten ass whole of a roadkill skunk and down it with BEER!!!!! He's the angriest gamer you ever herd he's the angry Nintendo nerd he's the angry Atari Sega nerd he's the angry video game......Nerd. if you red this please like it and my b day is in may so 1k likes please?
Back to the Future 2 & 3 was a much worse game than the first NES game. Even though BttF was repetitive and silly, 2&3 was confusing, boring, and altogether asinine.
I wish we had internet in the 80s and rating systems for games, we had destroy LJN much earlier
Terminator for the SNES was the best of the 4. They didn't even show any scenes from that version here.
But remember... "THEY DID A GAME THAT´S NOT SHIT!", so, everyone can achieve redemption.
Ezequiel López IT'S NOT SHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTT!!!
The SNES WWF games were pretty good.
Ezequiel López Maximum Carnage is the only decent ljn game.
I remember me and my brother loving the Beetlejuice animated series and yet we could not understand why the game was so difficult and frustrating
i honestly enjoy "jaws" and "nightmare on elm street"
those 're at least two of the more playable LJN games, even though NOES is really hard to beat without a game genie
PLEASE MAKE A EA WORST GAMES LIST!!!!
No Jekyll and Mr Hyde?!?!
+Brandon Derive They didn't make that game.
That game was published by Toho
+Capp Antwan you mean the company that makes the Godzilla movies?
Armageddon3035 Yep, that Toho. They worked with Bandai to make the game, weirdly enough.
Capp Antwan OH GOD!
pretty much all ljn games suck.
except for maximum carnage
one shining gem in a steaming pile of turds.
More like bronze or something like that, but yeah.
bronze still looks better than turd that's for sure.
theWWF Games were good
Why is Pictionary on the list? Especially on the honorable mentions? I mean its nothing special but it certainly doesnt deserve to be compared to the rest of this list.
Purple for Putrid Gameplay, Blue for Bad Musical Abominations, Green for Graphical Farts and Garlic, Yellow for Piss-poor Lack of Loyalty to Source Material, Orange for Aren't You a Fuckin’ Idiot and Red for High-stress Anger-inducing Masochism. Put that all together, you got all the colors of the Shit Rainbow. Hooray, LJN.
LJN, Laughing Joking Numbnuts, the bane of our existence!
Didn't LJN do Maximum Carnage? That was actually good...
Yeah that game and it's sequel Separation Anxiety were actually pretty decent. Meaning 98% of the games LJN did were crap.
James Rolfe is still a legend
LJN is basically a company synonymous with the expression "This game sucks." It really doesn't require a Top 10 Worst list from WatchMojo.com for demonstration.
Me watched Top 10 best and worst SM games: Walking and punch/kick
Me watching this: "#10: Spider-Man: return of the sinister six"
Oh really ? SM has web now ?
Ok Jaws for release??? That game was top notch back in the day.....
I loved it and nightmare on elm street was too. I also beat Friday the 13th it wasn't impossible!
EA is today's LJN
Objectively wrong.
+alternine nope
+Nathan G not really. EA still releases good games. It's rare for EA to release an actual bad game, most are at least mediocre.
no, they make Sims and the abysmally terrible sports games
EA's games aren't actually that bad, they just contain greedy business practices. As standalone games they can be good fun, hell I would even say their sports games are pretty good (expect nba live)
Can't believe NFL wasn't on this list. Just... ugh. UGH.
L-1011 Widebody Because AVGN didn't do a video about it they haven't heard of it.
Seriously. IMO, I'd take Bill & Ted off the list and put NFL in its place. I remember buying Nirvana's Nevermind and the Bill & Ted game on the same day and played the hell out of it while listening to that album. Good memories.
Back to the Future II and III is a FAR worse game than Back to the Future. THAT game is BALLS. Back to the Future is at least playable
The only decend game ljn ever, was venon for super Nintendo
Haven't watched the video yet but I own Jaws an Friday the 13th...love them both lol
i have Friday the 13th i like the game i don't think it perfect i know Gun Media wants to remaster it
Me too beat em. Both loved the challenge
YOU MISSED DR Jacal and mr hide
Very shitty, but not LJN
They might as well have since another popular target of AVGN - which is clearly what they were leeching off of when they came up with this.
CULTURIZE yourself to catch that easy reference XD
H Pinecone Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
You apparently missed the spelling bee.
Are you fucking kidding me? That's what I said when I saw number 10. Spider-Man is a great game for the NES. I'll be watching and commenting on every entry as I watch:
10: Spider-Man: Return Of The Sinister Six - I played through this game on a rom and I had a blast. I was very surprised at how fun it is. The mechanics are impressive. Really great NES game.
9. Jaws - I've only played a little bit of this game before but what I found was that it was creative. You go around hunting for Jaws and you have multiple battles with him while scuba-diving and exploring. You have to strategize and work on taking him down. Seems pretty cool and legit to me.
8. Spirit Of Speed 1937 - I'll give you that one. I haven't played it, but it looks like your typical piece of shit bland boring driving/racing game of that era (in the 2000s).
7. Beetlejuice
6. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
5. The Uncanny X-Men
4. The Karate Kid
I haven't played these yet, but they all seem to have a decent and clever premise. They look like they could go either way.
3. Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Played through this on a rom and its not bad. Pretty good for an NES game. And you said how bad T2 was for Genesis... fuck you, asshole. It's one of the best games I've played for the Genesis. It's wonderful. The NES version is a very downscaled version of the Genesis/SNES versions and still fun.
2. Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure - Looks like it could go either way. Haven't played it. The dialogue/story seems pretty legit though.
Honorable Mentions:
Pictionary - never played it.
A Nightmare On Elm Street - Really cool premise. You couldn't have asked for many more options for a better concept of a NOES game. It's not bad. A little boring after a while. But the premise and way they came up with the game is solid. Pretty creative.
Alien 3 - haven't played this one. Seems like it would be fun though.
Wolverine - could go either way
Friday The 13th - I fucking love this game. An NES masterpiece. Substance, style. That music!! Atmosphere!! It's fun. You have to use strategy. It can get a little boring at times, but I always want to go back to it. I get the urge to replay it over and over. So much love for this game. I love how you have a whole campground to explore and have to frantically try to protect everyone while you strategize with the other counselors to kill Jason. But children are dying and the counselors are being taken down one by one as you frantically try to gain better weapons and pass them around while protecting what friends are left. I did beat this game once with a lone survivor in true Friday The 13th fashion. I beat it with the black guy. How's that for a twist ending?
1. Back To The Future - I actually dig this game. It's fun, creative, and thematically follows the film. It's hard as fuck though and that's what kinda hurts it. But for an NES game, challenge is not a bad thing. Back then, as a kid, before the internet, you had one game to play for days and weeks (maybe months). You wanted a game to last. You wanted to figure it out. You wanted to get good at it and master it.
I had a blast when I did play this game, though it was really tough. Never did beat it.
What I love about LJN games is the atmosphere and creativity in them. They are wonderful NES adaptations of their films/franchises. You usually have to think and strategize while immersed in their NES-style version of that movie world. They could have made them typical lazy pieces of shit like most other games where you just scroll left to right while jumping on things, but instead they are usually creative and you have to do different things with subtle thematic elements of their respective films strewn throughout. The games feel like dream versions of the films where everything means something to the film in an offhand way.
Finally, there's someone else who thinks Friday the 13th's NES adaptation was good. It was good. Damn good. They're hating on it because a comedic angry reviewer bashed on it so they think they should too. The music wasn't amazing, though, it was literally an 8 second loop.
LJN games aren't good lmao. They can still be enjoyable, but it doesn't deflect their obvious flaws which could easily be bypassed if an actual publisher was involved, such as Nintendo themselves.
Nothing in BTTF NES was relatable to the movie.
You have to escape and fight Biff's gang, ward off the advances of your mother, play the music right (Johnny B. Goode) so your parents can kiss, and you have to drive the Delorean to 88 mph in a lightning storm.
How is that not relatable to the movie?
all that work for 3 upvotes (i took one away) congratulations, why'd you even bother? i read like 2 sentences before i got bored
How can a spider man game be based off a tv series that didn't exist at the time of its creation???? Let me get on UA-cam and just spout whatever bullshit stats come to mind for free money too!!!! Watchmojo I have a GREAT phone voice. Hire me to spew your verbiage !!!! Is that a word???? Idk don't matter!!!!!
POV: Youve watched angry video game nerd
Every Single LJN Game To Be Proclaimed As The "Worst" In Video Game History Will Be Included All Thanks To The Failure Of LJN As A Whole
You don't even know what a broken horrible game is until you tried to "play" Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde game.
That game is 100% unplayable.
My bro been streaming LJN worst games and he's been struggled to finish those difficult video games. It still is.
LJN = the worst company of all time.
Jaws bad because repetetive
Everybody likes grinding in fucking warframe
That makes perfect sense i would rather play Jaws...don't ask why.
Jaws actually isn't that bad. A little repetitive.
I actually remember liking some of the games by LJN. Do not know if I will still like them now. X-men for the NES is bad for sure though. I like A Nightmare on Elm Street though.
The LJN story is actually a bit sad to be honest. They actually made some smart business moves; it is just that they get overlooked by their crappy games.
My brother got one game from ljn and that was nfl😒
In their defense, they also made the WWF games for the SNES, which were essentially my entire childhood
Reporter: What inspired you to make bad video games?
LJN: Money.
Damn i loved that Terminator game back when i had my first famiclone :D Was just too hard for me
I love rainbows but with LJN ltd on it makes nightmares for gamers come true. I thought Viacom V of Doom is bad enough but this its another travesty.
0:37
Hey guys please tell me which Xmen chapter is this.

Jaws is actually pretty fun. Same with nightmare on elm street and Wolverine.
Back to the Future was a great game!! Just really hard. I'll never forget the day I finally made it to the end with the DeLorean. I got so excited I slammed the table my little TV and NES were on. The TV started blinking...I never played it again smh
Really? Did it send you into a downward spiral that you never recovered from?
+GamerCola that was 88' 89' so yea maybe, it's all I think of when I think of games that defeated me smh..
There are good games here, there are. Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Contra, Castlevania, Mega Man, but then, a big fucking shitstorm hit it! A shitstorm of horrible games! And at the middle of it all, a rainbow. A rainbow of shit! LJN!
