A taihenge (たいへんゲー - taihen, Japanese for rough + game) describes a game that is janky, unpolished, and usually unpopular, that is still beloved by a niche community. A taihenge is not to the extremes of kusoge, but still is not considered a good/great game by most people.
The term was developed in the English-speaking world to combat the overabundant misuse of the word kusoge outside of Japan for any game that is a little rough around the edges, especially when it came to early games in a genre that did not yet have any of the staple features and core gameplay cemented, as well as experimental games and budget indie titles. The word and concept is slowly seeing adoption internationally, including in Japan.

This girl told me she was a connoisseur of kusoge but it turned out nothing she played was all that terrible. I'd classify them as taihenge at worst.

"He liked one of my photos on Instagram a month ago and then deleted his account the next day."
"Well that's one way to deal with the tappening."

Get the Tashenae mug.That fit fit fit girl (who no one knows the real name of) who was in the TV comedy 'Boy Meets World' years ago.
Possibly the only reason why many members of the male population watched this TV programme
(Don't remember? Cory? Mr Feeney? Ring any bells?)

Get the Tapenga mug.A Tashen is a person who is sweet if you get to know him, if he likes you he won't tell you but he will be mean to you and make your life a living hell. But that just a way to show you that he likes you. He will get mad if you go with someone else other than him. He is a huge jerk though even if your his friend. He isn't really good with basic human conversations. But he is your friend after all
