Games that you're glad to have gotten out of your sight!

We've all heard collectors say that they wish they hadn't sold X game, but what are machines that you no longer have that you know you'll never miss? For me, it would be a Godzilla pachislo, a horrible Birdie King 2 hosting a Tri-Sports conversion, the dedicated Mr. Do! from hell, and a busted-up Gyruss.
 
Cruisin USA motion cockpit.

Too new for my tastes and a space consuming nightmare.

It was never at Grinkers, but it took up way too much storage space.

Good riddance!
 
Every "filler" class conversion game that I put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into making perfect only to be unable to sell them for more than empty cabinet price.
 
Super Off-Road. Sega ST-V 'trash can' style cab. Baby Pac-Man.

I wish I still had my Night Driver cockpits, but when the bottoms rot out on them they're kind of gross.

I actually liked mine, but I was afraid it would break down and cost a fortune to fix. It would have been a lot better if the sequels would have ran in it.
 
I have 2 Night Driver cockpits right now :)

Oh jeez, well definitely a second Pole Position cockpit. First one was a pain enough, didn't want to go through that again. Someone else now has that pleasure.

Had a problematic Punch Out! that I was glad to see leave. Because working on 2 monitors is better than 1, right?
 
720 - I loved the game as a kid but when I got one I got bored of it quick. I had the hardest time selling it too in nice shape for $650 a couple years back, now they're going for a lot more.
 
Xevious. I played it a good bit while it was new but when I picked one up in modern times, I couldn't get rid of it fast enough. Even the sounds annoyed me.

Pretty much the only game that I ever got for under $50 (both of them actually). Sold them out of my storage unit when I had to downsize temporarily.

Loved to just floor it in high gear and see how long I could keep up the frantic pace of the steering. So much fun, better than the Drivin' games IMO due to the randomness and speed.
 
R-Type LEO! Overpriced shit game nothing like the original two and regardless, crappy gameplay, music, and atmosphere. I hate how anyone who wants to keep dumping quarters in it can win it since it doesn't have check points making even going for high scores boring with no challenge. I CAN'T believe the price that piece of shit game goes for!

Yep..Wide open until you crash is what makes the game FUN...The engine sound is great!
 
Baby Pac god love you guys that like that monster. Mine was beautiful and never acted up but damn it was terrible to play. Next galaxian I suck but damn that game. Last but no less terrible asteroids deluxe I wanted to love you but just couldn't. Good riddance to you three never to return
 
This bothersome sonofabitch. Worked well for a while. Then it started having wacked out electrical problems. I tried all the cures with no luck. I got tired of banging my head on it and then I traded the irritating thing for a working Zaxxon vid. It was a great trade for me as I only had $100 plus some rubber parts and playfield wax in the Hollywood Heat.

Tron mini.

Got it at auction against that inner voice. Got nerve damage to a finger unloading it. One problem after another...power supply, board, monitor. Finally sold it, as I wanted an upright anyway. Got the upright 6 or 7 years later.
 
I loved my Super Pac-Man cocktail but it became boring after a while and did not get played very often. I happily traded it for a beautiful Asteroids upright. I don't really miss the Super Pac.
