Acts of Stupidity in The Art of Purchasing

Yeah I've bought some bad ones, the one that still sticks out in my mind and haunts me is Sword of Sodan... good thing I was able to return it so it wasn't a total lose, but it still hurt thinking about how bad that game was :p

Whining again...

Elan Doree or Anarchy in the Nippon for the Saturn. Either one. Oh, or Robotica. Or Black Fire.

I didn't have much luck with that thing. The rest of the shitty games I've bought were for really cheap prices, usually to see how bad they are. I should've picked up Shaq-Fu for 50 cents yesterday.

As a young fellow, I saved up my money and did my "research" and somehow ended up with the Atari Jaguar. If I recall, at launch, that thing went for $300. There were enough cool games that I didn't regret it too much (finding a sucker to buy it off me for $120 by the time Playstation came out helped some), but boy did I call that one wrong.

Actually, I had a pretty good time with it, but the lack of games and the quick evaporation certainly left a bad taste.

My dad saw an ad for the Jaguar in a magazine, and he wanted to buy it for us. I told him no, and pointed to the N64.

I could pwn this thread with the quickness by mere mention of the amount of coin I dropped on Rakugaki Showtime. I don't regret it though. That money would have left me one way or another. The only way Rakugaki will is if it gets stolen or my house burns down.

Imagineer published it in Japan. Infinity is also credited on it so they might be the developer.

If your house burns down, I think we'll all burn our houses down over the great loss.

Now that a remember i won an auction in ebay for a panzer dragoon saga for a heavy amount of dinero and i never got the game.Its already been 3 years and til this day i still go to my mailbox hoping someday it would arrive. :cry:

Ouch. Would EB even give you $5 for that?

Wilykat gave me a copy of Castlevania 64 a while back. I didn't pay for it, but I still felt like I got the shitty end of the deal.
