Doesn’t exist. Even terrible games like popeye go for 4k these days.
Man, you are desperate for a bargain!
Wheel of fortune is pretty bad because of the code which is broken should you progress to the end of the game. (I have)
Gilligans Island, Waterworld, and most if not all coded games by Orin Day and Neil Falconer.
I tried about 6 different times to play Galactic Tank Force, walked away from my game the last couple of times. It truly is an abomination of game design. They had several setup to play and I tried each one. Honestly It's hard to think of any other pin I've had a worse time playing, but there probably are a few others equally as bad but not many.
On the flip side I've never had so much fun playing Foo Fighters, Godfather and Pulp Fiction. Really awesome pins!
Quoted from TheLaw:DMD era - Barb Wire
Rescue 911 and Shaq Attaq are both worse than Barb Wire - far worse.
Pistol Poker is rare and incredibly terrible.
Supersonic. The sounds are terrible after playing a soothing EM. Maybe it is just the one that I had. I bought it in a hurry and tried to put a crappy E-bay playfield overlay on it. I screwed that up and tried it again. I could not bear to look at that thing. I ripped the Band-aid off and took the loss. I no longer have to look at that piece of crap.

Those are contradictory questions. You can’t ask what’s the worst game ever and then limit it to newer games.
Quoted from schudel5:Horridcane.
Once you see clown taint on the display panel you'll never unsee it.
Quoted from zh2oson:Hercules is the only game of pinball I've ever walked away from. That gets my vote.
The "wobba wobba wobba" of the cue ball up the playfield and back down again is only slightly slower than JJP games.
Quoted from TheLaw:DMD era - Barb Wire
Come on dude.
It’s not even the worst premier game. By a long shot.
And any game that begins with a huge explosion on the screen immediately followed by a fat guy eating a chicken leg will always be better than about 25 percent of all other
Machines ever made.

It doesn’t exist. They all have value.
Quoted from chuckwurt:It doesn’t exist. They all have value.
1987 is trying every angle he can to get a cheap game.
Can we get rid of the distributors? No?
Ok…how about a game so bad it has no value!!!
Anybody?
Next he’s probably gonna ask if there’s a web site for Chinese Stern knockoffs, like those $200 “les pauls” you can buy.
Here to defend WOF. I like that game…… that code will be finished any day now 
GTF… no way… art is great, animation good and I like the cheesy aspects gameplay. Is a bit tough…. But I think to “win” this one….. you need to be bad in all categories…. Art, sound, gameplay and rules.

Don’t bother responding if you have nothing useful to say. Go respond to other posts. I am not trying to get a cheap game either. I have put my deposit down on two new games from stern already.

But you asked for games that have no value. He said that doesn’t exist, which is true.
Worst game ever made is completely subjective.
Quoted from DK:Thunderbirds is spectacularly bad
INTERNATIONAL RESCUE

OP I hope you can look back on this post in a few years and laugh

I mean I fucking agree Stargate is horrendous but I wouldn't put it under Barb.
Quoted from ejg10532626:Rescue 911 and Shaq Attaq are both worse than Barb Wire - far worse.
Rescue 911 may have some legs there...but Shaq Attaq has a comically fantastic Translite. Backglasses don't usually move the needle for me but since I would refuse to actually play these pieces of shit; I must factor it in.

Funny story …
About 12 years ago, this new guy was all keen on buying a couple of used pins I was selling.
Then out of the blue, he tells me my pins are too expensive! He can buy brand new Stern pins for only $4000 NZD each! (They were $7000 NZD here at the time)
“Tell me more!” I said …
“I can buy them in China for $4000 each. I have placed an order for a new Ironman, Spiderman, and Batman pin for $12,000”
I replied … “aahhh … well, firstly, that works out cheaper than what Stern is selling them for in the States. Secondly - pinball is illegal in China”. (Which it was at the time)
So of course, old mate ignores me and sends his new best friend Mr Chinese Stern Dealer $12,000 dollars.
And 12 years later, he is still awaiting his delivery to arrive.

But op asked for "worse."
Quoted from Sinistarrett:Worse than what?
^^
Quoted from Gotpins:Gottlieb's Cactus Jacks is the only game I ever wanted to light on fire. I just can't stand it!
Well, that and Barb Wire. But I'd take the backglass out of Barb Wire before I lit the match....It's still Pam Anderson....she'll look good hanging on the wall!
I searched IPDB for "worse" and this is all that comes up...

1962 Skill Race, and it was the manufacturer's president talking about a bad months, so I still don't think it counts unfortunately.
I recommend this guy snatch up a Williams Flash. They are fun and over the last several years I've seen several for sale at very affordable prices. That's one of the best bargains I can think of in the solid state side. They made a bunch of them. Lots of people don't like the artwork, but it's a fun machine to play.
If you want to go into the EM world, keep an eye on estate sales or Facebook Marketplace in your area. Finding an EM that someone is desperate to unload happens and you could get one for $200 or less if you are lucky. Then get it working and play it. You might luck out and find something that is lots of fun.
If you just want to know the worst modern game, that's a tough call. I hate Iron Maiden, but the layout is actually fun to play. I also am not interested in lots of Stern Pro model machines.
I've never seen Thunderbirds, but everything I hear about it is bad.
I want a Wheel of Fortune, because my wife is a huge fan of the show.
Interesting comments for worse game. First of all WOF is awesome and you will never come close to reaching non-existent wizard(moot point). Second is Barbwire has one of the best layouts in all of pinball and people discount it for theme which is better than half the new themes coming out. I am working on turning my translight into the Dark Horse comic version and it should be sweet.
My list would be Johnny Mnemonic for the worse toy in pinball. The glove is horrid and kills flow
Stern WWE is the only Stern I cannot play. The ring is such a novelty that it turns me off
How about a non functioning paperweight-Magic Girl
Quoted from Doctor6:I have never played it, but everyone seems to think WWE is terrible.
I have, it's weird, but not awful.
Motordome. Was $500 in 1987 when I first bought it. Is still $500 today. It is the worst game because on paper it has all the elements needed to be good. It just isn’t….at all. A barren playfield is easy to classify as a bad game. A full populated playfield with a unique millions shot on the second level off a ramp no less up another ramp should be good. It is not.

Zizzle Pirates. A fitting capstone to John Popadiuk's career.

Yeah but I still play it once a year at Allentown when that same guy bring it so he doesn’t have to pay admission.
