The worst video game in history is re-released, 30 years later, in a “definitive” edition

There was a time, very short, in the mid-90s, where they tried to sell us that the video games we had played so far were fine, but the future was in video adventures where you could make a few decisions, in the style of ‘Choose your own adventure’. Even in Spain, several were made, like ‘Los justicieros’ or that famous ‘Marbella Vice’ directed by Álex de la Iglesia. In the United States, on the other hand, the 3DO console saw the birth of one of the worst titles in the history of video games: the indescribable ‘Plumbers don’t wear ties’.

Plumbers and their ties

Popularized by the Angry Video Game Nerd years later, ‘Plumbers don’t wear ties’ was a video game that simulated a romantic comedy with non-professional actors, a laughable script, and impossible gameplay. Nothing made sense, from start to finish, the critics hit it with all they could and the audience fell out of love with video games (more than with video games) before they could develop any potential. Well. 30 years have passed, video games have evolved and Limited Run Games has thought that maybe it’s time to try again with the least famous plumbers in the industry.

The game is now available, both physically and digitally, for Switch, PS4, PS5, and Windows, and it comes with abundant extras: interviews (trying to understand how this was possible), photo galleries from the filming, documentaries, and even a new game to unlock even more extras. And in addition, the video has been restored to 4K, allowing you to choose between this version and the traditional one. Each person with their own fetishes!
