I just had some memories from childhood spring up and I wanted to share. As a kid, did you ever ask for a game for a birthday or xmas, get the game, then find out it sucked SOO bad that you didn't want to play it? I did, and everytime I felt like such an asshole for having my parents spend their VERY hard earned money on shit.
Robocop for NES - Received this on a birthday one year with an early issue of Nintendo Power - it had a Contra cover on it. The Robocop game sucked so bad, I remember the control was absolute shit. I just looked it up and it was Nin Power 12 - with Super C on the cover - May/June 1990!! Wow So I was freaking 8 years old and I distinctly remember feeling like an asshole for having my parents buy that game - I was economically aware at 8 yrs old. LOL
Home Alone 2: LINY SNES - This game was the worst, I remember feeling horrible for this as well - My mother was newly divorced and was probably making 10 bucks or less an hour at the time, and made sure her kid got the game he wanted (but wasn't smart enough to find a review for) for his Super Nintendo for Xmas. It wasn't my only gift that year but a pricey mistake.
Sega CD: I played a good amount of it, but still feel bad that my mom bought this piece of shit. I'm not even going to go into anymore detail on this one.
I still think of this shit from time-to-time, and when I do, I usually end up buying my mom something nice to make up for it. Last time I thought about this I bought her a 42" plasma - weird right? LOL
