"This guy is like a bad habit, he just won't go away. Now this Evil Master dude and his legions of nimrods are poised above the planet in a space station, ready to make the planet one big black hole. Not only that, those blasted automadions (space slang for funky robot type guys) have captured Lexia (Not the car, the babe!) and are holding her prisoner aboard their space station.

Don't it just make your blood boil? Doesn't it make your skin crawl? Does it make your face turn red with anger? Is there steam coming out of your ears? Hold on, get a grip! We've been in this kind of fix before. Okay, okay, you're right, probably not this bad. But hey, this is a video game. There's always a good guy around somewhere. Get with the program!

It just so happens, that on the island of Moralos (you remember the secret base of the famous Striders) there is just the guy you're looking for. The most pumped up Strider of them all, Hinjo, is just waiting to punch these guy's lights out. Go ahead, grab that control pad and give it a shot, sound like a piece of cake... Wrong! This baby's not your every day space walk in the park! Strider's back and the fun is about to begin. Rumble on, Strider Dude!"

This is from the manual for the worst Sega Genesis game ever: Strider Returns. I actually believe it's also the worst game ever in general. It's not even entertaining in the prospect that it's terrible like Cheetahmen 2 or Shaq Fu. It's an awful blur on the small series and the world would be better if it had never been made.

I beg to differ. Rygar for the NES has the worst game manual story:

Snake's Revenge comes pretty close too.

Wow. The Rygar one is just bad storytelling and is wrought with awful grammar (One day, suddenly) but the Strider one is WAY gayer.

Han is famous as a young action movie star that is a Tekondo master and acts
without a stunt man, but only few people knew that his right leg is artificial.
One year ago while he was making a film in the Middle East, his right leg was
drawn in smoke-like darkness suddenly appeared. And later mysteriously, his
sense of the right leg still remains. As he researched this unexplainable
phenomenon, he found that there were similar accidents once in a few decades
around the legendary hyper-ancient ruin. And he himself began to be drawn in
the mystery of the ruin.

I never bothered reading most of the storylines from the manual. I just jumped into the game and only opened the manual when i needed to. These abizmal stories are evidence that game makers had this thought in mind:

"Nobody is going to read this shit anyway"
