The '''Shit Scale''' is a "video game rating system" designed by the Angry Video Game Nerd to accurately measure the "shittiness" of a game. It was created in his review of ''[[Darkwing Duck (TurboGrafx-16)|Darkwing Duck]]'' for the TurboGrafx-16 (but was informally mentioned in his ''[[CrazyBus]]'' review). He later used it again in his review of ''[[Life of Black Tiger]]'' for the PlayStation 4.

|Games that are debatably bad

* [[Top Gun (NES)|Top Gun]]
|<code>2</code> or <code>high-contamination</code>
|-
|The very high category

|MAJOR CODE RED

<big>'''''NEVER''''' play them, '''''NEVER''''' talk about them.</big>
