The Elder Scrolls I: Arena

While the Elder Scrolls series of games is highly regarded nowadays, it had quite the rocky start. The first game in the series, Arena, was originally going to be about gladiatorial combat, but that focus shifted over the course of development. While the final product has a ton of content it can be very finicky and ultra-fast paced. And yes, I'm aware there's command line parameters to turn the speed down, but this affects the overall framerate, mouse cursor, and control responsiveness too so it doesn't really help make the game any "better".
