I've seen bad acting in bad movies but there are many FMV games on say PC or Sega CD with bad acting. Can you give me an example? For me I'd say Christopher Walken in "The Ripper".

Actually, I find it to be the early Playstation games with voice that I find most amusing.  Resident Evil and Clock Tower are wall-to-wall with bad dialogue.  :teddyr:

I still have nightmares about it to this day.
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

How 'bout the wooden acting in Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of the Flesh?

Sadly, I never got around to playing that one.

How about the Tex Murphy series? The only one I played was Martian Memorandum, which I quite liked. The "acting" left something to be desired.

Here's a small clip:

Of course, it could be worse. The game tried to emulate human speech through the computer's internal speaker (these were the days when sound cards were still a novelty). It sounded like a scrap heaping trying to belch the alphabet.

Yeah, I remember the Tex Murphy series.  It was an odd one. 

Bad acting what about Sega CD returning with Night Trap?
