Once described as the 34th worst game of all time, did Pizza Tycoon deserve such a damning indictment? I look at the game itself, explore why some magazines drew extreme conclusions about games in the days before everything had to score at least 8/10, and explain why the worst games of all time aren't necessarily the actual worst games of all time.
And I played Wand of Gamelon for you. If that doesn't deserve a pity subscribe, what does?
0:00 Computer Gaming World's bold assertion
0:32 An inappropriate sponsor
0:43 I put a pizza on my head
1:02 Are the worst games of all time really all that bad?
1:37 The problem's the magazine, not me
2:46 Piracy!
4:08 Never trust Timberwolf to cook a pizza
4:40 It's the '90s, and games are obtuse
5:28 A low barrier to entry
6:21 Sabotage
6:44 Why did CGW dislike Pizza Tycoon?
8:13 Why "worst" games aren't always the worst
9:03 What Microprose did wrong
9:30 But should you buy the 34th worst game of all time?

It is slightly not quite as bad as the CD-i version.

Stay safe.
Bonus fact: Pizza Tycoon's furniture editor lets you place cigarette machines in your restaurants, a surprisingly late title to feature smoking in a non age restricted game.
