I think it depends on whether or not you're including unfinished and unlicensed games.

Little Red Hood for the NES is in the basket of "unfinished games that were released anyway for easy money," but it was an unlicensed game released in 1990, when a single guy testing his own game out probably counted as quality control. Even then, it only touched the soil of Taiwan and Australia.

Cheetahmen II is almost unplayable but it was never officially released. That's not the case for Big Rigs.

From a technical view with consideration of release date, I would definitely say Big Rigs. The developers had no business releasing such a game and having it put in stores while it was (according to one of the co-owners of the company) still in the pre-alpha stage. The engine for the game was licensed to the developers for a share of the company. It was published, it was rated by the ESRB. People spent money on it in real stores.

...Even then, it's not like the game is the polar opposite of fun and joy. It's really funny to those who have just seen gameplay footage and watched reviews of it. Something like Superman 64 would qualify better than Big Rigs for worst game ever if you're seeking the "opposite of fun." It was also officially published, rated by the ESRB, and sold in stores. Worse yet, the developers actually tried to pass of the excessive use of distance fog (presumably there because the game couldn't render anything) as "Kryptonite fog."
