BREED

This was a game that was deliberately crapped up by the publishers, for some inexplicable reason. The developers didn't notice until one of them bought a commercial version of the game (until then they'd all used their own versions). They ended up sueing the publishers, and I'm not sure what happened in the end. I don't think it was resolved.
