    Sonic 06 is the OG of “trashy games you can’t look away from because in all the ways it sucks, it is NEVER BORING”

    … This is why it had such a powerful reputation-ruining impact, by the way.

    If it had been boring bad (like Sonic Blast in the 90s or Sonic Boom a few years later) no one would have cared – Instead it is such a glorious trainwreck that it is basically The Room of video games.

    Think this was a genre of 2000s era flash games. Newgrounds, addicting games, etc.

    Recall many that were trash like throwing tomatoes at Brittany spears while she spins on a carnivel wheel, shooting terrorists as Bush in white house (ok that one was fun).

    One called ray where it was a violent hit man choose your own adventure type game. Controlled a south park character walked them through cutscnes of them killing people and doing coke.

    9 - 12 year old me thought it was cool.

      I remember a game where you played as R2-D2 and the goal was to beat as many people with a hammer as you could before the timer ran out. :)
