Worst game from your childhood go

That game that was the only game your parents bought you for the next six months, and it was shit. And you tried to like it, you tried to enjoy it for all that time, but no, it was fucking horrid and every second you played it you hated it more and more until something broke inside your head and you just couldn't feel anything anymore

this POS

Final Fantasy VII. Not joking, unfortunately for me since it's such a ripe target for derision.

I had grown up on games like Megaman X and U.N. Squadron with nary an RPG in sight. Didn't help that titles like FF3 and Earthbound were so damn expensive and rare. I just... couldn't get into it. Not until much later, anyway. And by the time I had returned to it, it feels like it aged too much for me to get that certain sense of immersion.

You may now proceed to the mocking.

There was this dude in our neighborhood who was in a wheelchair, and dumbass kids that we were, we felt like we had to gush over everything that he did. (He had a heart condition that made too much walking difficult, other than that, he was fine.)

He brought this interstellar turd over to my house, and we pretended we liked that shit. It was so bad that years later, when I saw a Street Fight II arcade machine for the first time, I was like, "Fuck that noise..."

At the early '90s my sister's boyfriend (now her husband) gave us his old Amstrad CPC along with some games like Bubble Bobble, Batman, Shinobi and so on. When I asked from my father to buy me a new game for this computer (it was a miracle that we found a store at my city that was still selling games for Amstrad CPC) I picked up this piece of shit because I thought it was a cool platform game. Fortunately it's the only shitty game I bought in my life (I have played many other shitty games but they were borrowed from other people, so no loss here).

Exactly what my thoughts were edutainment is not bad. Games marketed as edutainment arent bad. Hell i grew up on decent edutainment.

as a typing drill program mario teaches typing wasnt that bad, in fact i would say it was one of the better typing tutor programs on my computer at home at the time. It seemed to teach the stuff in a fair way that actually helped me learn the skill.

I actuially enjoyied math blaster as a kid, and played hours of eagle eye mysteries. i had about 90 percent of the super solvers games and remember playing eco quest as my first adventure game.

Lest we not forget the masterpiece known as the Oregon Trail.

no mario is missing was shit because it was shit. as far as edutainment goes it was badly designed and didnt play right and the advertising made it out to be an adventure game.

Goddamn, that's fucking hilarious. Earthbound languished in clearance bins for YEARS. At least 2 that I remember, where it was going for less than $15 a pop. Nobody wanted it, and the advertising literally stinks.

Adding to that it was overproduced to begin with. It was supposed to be -THE- JRPG to American gamers. But thanks to the advertising, it failed miserably. (BroTip: Don't advertise your be-all end-all RPG by saying "This game stinks!")

It's expensive NOW because it's desirable to people who played the Mother 3 fan translation and want to play the SNES game. But it was never rare.

I have a love-hate relationship with Brandish. I wont bog you down with the details, but essentially I stuck with the game because I grew up a poorfag and I knew I wouldn't see another SNES game for another year, so I figured I might as well make the most of it. So I suffered and endured the game and it's many (many, many, manymanymany) flaws, and even grew a grudging respect for it's few good points.

......Until the final boss. The term rage-quit didn't exist back then (or at least, I had never heard of it), but after dying dozens of cheap deaths I grew so enraged that I literally broke the controller in half, cutting open the side of my pointer finger in the process (which was nothing compared to what happened when my parents found out). At any rate, the cut wasn't very deep, but it was pretty long and I still have a scar from it after all these years.

So I guess you could say Brandish left it's mark on me.

I type like a chimp as well. Can't really complain though. During a boring computer class at my old high school my teacher asked if I was typing using only two fingers (as I was just fucking around and didn't give a damn about the class) I told her yea and she look at me as if I was a god or something. I hate Runescape now but if nothing else it taught you the meaning of pointless grinding andhow to type fast while doing it.

To be fair the teacher shouldn't even taught the class. She acutally told us to use Google to find a site because she didn't know that https is different from http. How embarrassing and she try to call me out for "looking up video game cheats" when I am typing the site she gave us into the address bar. When you can only find a site with Google then that should be a red flag that you shouldn't be teaching about computers.

Ren and Stimpy Veediots was one of the games I had as a kid. My dad played it mostly, and we never got past that part. Considering the game had no saves or password system, I'm surprised people made it past that.

You played U.N. Squadron, a LEGITIMATELY RARE AND EXPENSIVE game, yet never saw earthbound?
