I bet we've all made some pretty lame choices down the years.
I know i've bought some real stinkers in my time
I.e: FIFA64 (Shudder) (and paying a whopping £55 for the pleasure for EAs biggest stinkfest)
Paying £70 for Turok when it first came out (great game...but £70!!)
The Last Report on the PS1..saw it in the shop and it looked quite original....VERY bad game.
Paying about £50 each for Duck Tales & Chip N Dale on the NES....completed both on first go
(and £50 was a lot to waste back then with no means of earning more cashola)
Cruisin USA on N64.. loved the arcade game, in it's day, but N64 one was pants.
The City Of Lost Children.. great ,if strange French film turned into a Resident Evil style adventure game...very frustrating and shorter than a very short piece of string.
There's probably many more but they don't deserve to be remember.
So what are your biggest mistakes??

I am happy with all my games. Aqua Aqua is a bit pants, but I diddn't pay anything for it so I can't complain.
In theory, any gamer that does any research into their games don't have any rubbish in their collection.
And also, £70 for a game! How long are you going to let Nintendo get away with this?!?!?!?!?!

Didn't games like Donkey Kong on the SNES and Virtua Racing on the megadrive cost extorionate amounts? (full credit to sega for attempting VR on the megadrive btw).
From the reviews I've read the biggest gaming mistake by a developer was Superman 64.
The almost biggest mistake I made was buying the 32x for my megadrive but luckily I cancelled it the day it was dispatched. The company (SR) took it back bless em.
The biggest mistake I did make was buying my N64 for a "bargain" £225 with no game (instead of £250) but then the game I bought it for (waverace) didn't come out for a month or two, by which time the price of the n64 had dropped to below £200!!! DOH!

In Cold Blood for PSX.
Pah, one day I will burn that game, and I will laugh heartily.

Also, £70 is a total rip-off.
My biggest mistake was South Park on the N64!!!!!
In the days at the start of the PS when I was younger and less experienced gamer I bought the terrible game, Space Jam.
Laugh you may...
