Butterfly

Butterfly is a video game released for the ZX Spectrum in 1983, developed by Hugh Davis and published by Pulsonic.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) You have to eat twelve butterflies per minute while avoiding the curtains and the windowsill. Achieving said goal is easier said than done due to the butterflies moving randomly.
 * 2) Unresponsive controls due to the game being written in BASIC, making the spider's movements very stiff.
 * 3) There are only two butterflies that appear on the screen at one time.
 * 4) Butterflies can sometimes go through the spider without being eaten, which makes the game even more unfairly difficult.
 * 5) Failing to eat twelve butterfiles in under a minute or going to the curtains will cause a purple Pac-Man clone to come out and eat the spider, ending the game.
 * 6) *Going to the windowsill will electrocute the spider, also ending the game.
 * 7) Horrible sound effects that consist of nothing but high-pitched beeps and fart-like buzzes.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The electrocution effect that occurs when the spider reaches the windowsill is visually impressive for an early ZX Spectrum game, and one coded in BASIC, no less.
