"Ed Wood" Games - an IFDB Poll

I'm looking exquisitely bad games. Games with warped aesthetics and worldviews far removed from consensus reality. Games that are, in the words of Michael Martin, "exactly good enough that I had to keep going to see what it did next".

This poll is for games which stand on the fine line between warped genius and total idiocy. The merely mediocre need not apply.
