Dodonpachi and Doom for the saturn, both shittiest ports ever. I dont really count much before puberty because I was too young to know better.
Although I did buy "A boy and his blob" when I was like 7.
Mechassault, MotoGp2 and Wolfenstein are really good. I played the hell outta Wolfenstein online.
Stretch Panic, bought it for the full $50 when it came out because it was Treasure and GameGO hailed it as the best thing since Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies. The subsequent horror is something that will haunt me to the end of days...
The kicker? The guy at GS actually offered to let me return it but I TURNED HIM DOWN because I kept thinking it would get better. I didn't think it was possible for me to be that naive at age 21 at the time... :bang:
I remember the buzz on these boards about Stretch Panic before it was released. Good thing I thought the game looked fucking stupid and didnt believe the hype. Even when the reviews started coming out people here still thought it was going to be awesome and said the reviews didnt know what they were talking about. Stupid Treasure fanboys.
I snagged Stretch Panic for $4.99 roughly 4-6 months after it was released. Not a bad game for 5 bucks (had a few laughs pulling on them massive titties), but 50? Damn.
Perfect Dark.
Although I wouldn't call it my stupidity. I figured it at least had to be good given the 9's and 10's EGM gave it. I never bought the mag ever again.
I liked Mechassault and Gunvalkyrie... oh, and Power Blade too. :(
I also felt burned when I paid $5 for Stretch Panic. I had heard little about the actual game, and plenty of hype... and was incredibly dismayed to find that whatever gameplay there was, it was horrible. Usually when I buy a used game covered in stickers I'll clean it up and Goo-Gone the packaging... no. Not Stretch Panic. I think I did remove one of the stickers, though, and the sticky spot left by it was soon filled in by dust.
Um... I paid $20 for Panzer Dragoon Saga once, jeez, what was I thinking? :p No, no, that's not right. I paid $130 for Seiken Densetsu 3 when it was new, that one stung. First and last thing I ordered out of the back of an issue of Gamefan. I like the game a lot, though I still like SoM better. I do go back and play it now and then, but I feel that very few games, if any, will give you $130 worth of enjoyment. I did, however, get a cheesy little converter for free with it, which was a nice deal, because back then, though my SNES was tab-free, nobody wanted me to modify their units just to play SFC games, and I wasn't about to drill my carts.
The $130 SD3 would hurt more when in the years following, I attained a copy of Front Mission for 3 floppy disks with a copy of trueSpace 2 on them, Gun Hazard for $20, and a number of other games for next to nothing.
I've purchased a ton of shitty games in my day. I need to think about this one.
For about a year (most of 1991), I oogled at the Dragon Warrior II sitting on the shelf at Babbages. Thing was, it owned all the other games on the shelf, price-wise. 60 bucks. So my birthday rolls around next year, and I get a ton of birthday money (I usually didn't). I had $100 to spend. Straight to Babbages I went. I snatched that fucker... er, DW2, off the shelf, and almost forgot that I had about $35 more to spend. Babbages NES section wasn't the monstrosity it used to be, but I still had a lot of games to choose from (even though I can't remember specifics). What game did I pick?
Tetris. :wtf: No Ninja Gaiden 2 or Bionic Commando or Battle of Olympus or Life Force... fucking Tetris. I can't offer an explanation on that one, so I hang my head in shame.
Dude, there nothing wrong with tetris...
