Template:AVGNShitScale

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 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.

Category	Color	Description	Examples	Value
Games that are debatably bad	Green	Somewhat good games, with serious flaws. Not part of the turd crust, but well within smell range.	Metal Gear Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Castlevania II: Simon's Quest	1 or debatably-bad
High level of shit contamination	Blue	Games that are possible to play, but nobody in their right mind would.	Dick Tracy Super Pitfall Top Gun	2 or high-contamination
The very high category	Yellow	This is where you could still survive, but you'd come out traumatized... for life.	The majority of LJN games Virtual Boy Zelda CD-igames Darkwing Duck	3 or very-high-cat
The severe zone	Orange	This is for masochists only. These are games that could kill a person. STAY AWAY. Don't even think about it!	Action 52 Dark Castle The Wizard of Oz Tiger Electronics handheld games	4 or severe-zone
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde	Red	Enough said.		5 or jekyll-hyde
MAJOR CODE RED	Maroon	Games that don't even qualify as games at all. They shouldn't even be on the scale! But they are. And that's so you know to beware. NEVER play them, NEVER talk about them.	Desert Bus CrazyBus Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing Hong Kong 97 Plumbers Don't Wear Ties Life of Black Tiger	6 or major-code-red
