We've all been there. Standing with the newest game at the time in your little hands and you stride to the shop counter. once you've paid up you then can't wait to get back and have a bash on this great game only.... oh ts not really all that good.
So what does everyone think the most disappointing game they have ever bought is?
mine would be going back quite a few years, I was still only knee high to a grass hopper yet I went to a local Toys R Us and bought with my pocket money "Superstar Boxing" for my Amstrad. Now I had to spend all day shopping with my parents and of course I wanted to go home and start my computer boxing carrer.
Hours later I was home and I slped the cassestte into the slot and waited for the usual loading to begin. By now I was a wreck I NEEDED to play this game. I had it all planned a few hours playing this then the quiest stop for dinner then play till bed time! Oh how wrong I was!!! It started well, a big boxer guy trusting at the screen to some cheesy music. So I decided to trust myself straight into the ring and I was ready to Rumble.
But how cruel Amstrad were. It was only two player!!!! It never said anything like that on the box or nothing. But what ever your tried you could never get the computer to fight against you!!! how gutted was I! I soon turned to off after fighting three matches which all were won in record time without me even getting hit!!! Still to this day I look back annoyed that Amstrad had sold such a shoddy game!!! So what is everyone most hated game of all time then?!

My worst buy would have to be the lucky penny I bought a couple of years ago. I lost it. Either that or Mouse Trap, or maybe even Monopoly.
Had to happen really didn't it !!! I praise myself as a pretty good tosh game dodger and then go and buy one stink of a lemon ! Wipeout Fusion - one massive steaming pile of monkeys excretion !!!!
Good job Ace Combat 4 is the nuts and didn't let me down cause otherwise I'd be on my way to Studio Liverpool right now to pop a few heads with a baseball bat !

ive never seen anything so dismal and boring in my entire life. i thought i mite get scared/excited about playing it, and it turned out to be rubbish. i bought it, got home an hour later, sat down, lights out, volume up, seating perfectly arranged... played it for ten minutes and trekked all the way back to the shop and exchanged it for Theme Park World, which on the other hand was brilliant!!!

In Cold Blood on PSX... *shudders*
Man, I've had to take quite a few games back over the years. They always give you a funny luck when you say "I don't like it" I'm surprised they give me a refund!
