'''[[UsefulNotes/JosefStalin Stalin]] vs Martians''' is a real-time strategy game. Its designers deliberately aimed for the SoBadItsGood B-movie aesthetics, deliberately attempting to emulate famously bad alien movies such as ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace''. FromACertainPointOfView, they succeeded wildly, producing a game that was panned by critics, sold almost no copies, and today occupies several 'worst games of all time' lists. The publisher has since done its best to pretend the game doesn't exist, and copies of the game are [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes effectively impossible to find]]. It is technically an "Operation Barbarossa" expansion/mod for the video game ''Blitzkrieg'', but dropped and converted half-way.

* LostForever: After receiving some of the worst reviews in game history, it was pulled from every single distribution source within three months of release, and is now effectively impossible to find.

* SoundtrackDissonance: Virtually the entire game is set to electronic music tunes and... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEgNolIXz2w campy]] [[https://soundcloud.com/jerry-lenin/11-glam-rock-in-the-city Russian]] GlamRock?

* GameMod: Though sold as a full game, it's actually a mod of an obscure [=WW2=] RTS called ''Blitzkrieg'' - and not a particularly thorough one, either; all of the alien units are reskinned default units, the maps are ''Blitzkrieg'' multiplayer and skirmish maps with 'alien' decorations randomly scattered around, and the interface is effectively identical, except that most functionality has been removed and a few things have been shifted around.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Players could eventually field a 50 foot tall Stalin, who is supposedly [[BlatantLies "as big as the man was in RealLife"]].

* ArbitraryGunPower: The Soviet units are a random mishmash of various armored vehicle models cribbed from WW2 games and given arbitrary stats; there is precisely zero relation between a unit's RealLife armament and the amount of damage it does in the game, nor is there any relation between actual speed and ingame speed, actual armor and in-game hitpoints, etc.

* GameMod: Though sold as a full game, it's actually a mod of an obscure WW2 RTS called ''Blitzkrieg'' - and not a particularly thorough one, either; all of the alien units are reskinned default units, the maps are ''Blitzkrieg'' multiplayer and skirmish maps with 'alien' decorations randomly scattered around, and the interface is effectively identical, except that most functionality has been removed and a few things have been shifted around.
** It is said that the game started as an early-stage(invasion of Poland to Winter 1942) Eastern Front mod, but the artists for the German and Polish factions pulled out.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: If, for whatever reason, you have a desire to play this game, your only option is to search the Internet (Russian or Chinese) for one of the rare pirated copies, as all legitimate physical copies of the game that were not sold have since been disposed of and no digital distributors are willing to carry the game.
