Extreme Paintbrawl is a paintball video game released for Microsoft Windows/DOS on October 20, 1998. The game uses a modified version of the Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition v1.5 executable. This game has been considered one of the worst video games ever made. The title was developed in two weeks, with soundtrack by musician Todd Duane, who sent Head Games his demo tracks.

[edit] Criticism

Extreme Paintbrawl had an extremely poor reception and is widely considered one of the worst video games ever made. In addition to its outdated Build engine graphics, it shipped with abysmal AI which often performed bizarre behaviors, such as running towards the nearest wall and appearing to do the moonwalk. Enemies also have seemingly perfect aim, because nearly every shot fired in the player's direction scores a hit. Also, although the game only installs and launches under Windows 95 and higher, the actual game is a DOS program. This often caused compatibility problems, especially with newer computers.

GameSpot gave the game a 1.7 / 10.[1] IGN gave it a 0.7 / 10;[2] it is the second game in the website's history to receive a score lower than one (the first is Olympic Hockey Nagano '98, which earned a 0.0). PC Gamer gave it a 6 / 100.
