What are your worst gaming experiences
Mine was having a copy of Zelda (N64) being thrown out of a window (first floor... ie one above ground)... mind u it still worked, so it ain't that bad! One of my friends dropped a TV on his copy of goldeneye... that worked despite being smashed... use it to this day! RIP Carts

My worst gaming experiences all involve Sinclair products and loads of typing of machine code program lines. Then spending another few hours debugging. Then finding out that the game was no good in the first place. To think of the number of hours of my life that I wasted doing this pointless activity still makes me cringe.
It's 100% better on the N64!

Although I prefer Goldeneye and Perfect Dark!

Is it better on N64 than?
My worst gaming experience was The World Is NOt Enough on the PSX!
I though it was gonna be just as good as the ok N64 version especially when my friend told me there were clips from the film in it!
When I went to my friends house the other day he put it on! So I decided to time the loading time thikning that it should definately be faster than the really slow N64 time but it took twice as long!
Then I played the first level and it seemed really stupid! THe enemies just appeared out of nowhere and immediately started shooting giving you no chance! The walls in the lifts were bending and the controls were terrible!
I would rather play MarioVGA on the PC than TWINE on the PSX!

Probably saving up for FIFA Soccer (original game) for my Amiga 500+, I had saved up for months to get it. Went into town to buy it but Sensi World of Soccer was out the same day and a tenner cheaper and I should have got that instead, but I eventually got FIFA and went home to play it. Only problem was it had some sort of problem loading and I could only play half the game at a time before it crashed.
The shop wouldnt take it back so I was stuck with it. Went into school the following day and virtually half the class had got Sensi World Soccer and were all boasting how great it was and there was me showing off my half a FIFA game like an idiot. I have regretted it ever since!!

Mine was when I got Gran Turismo 2, put in my PSX, turned it on and found out that my PSX had been busted by the many times it had fell off my desk. It took me a week to get a replacement from Sony for £35, and by then I was way behind my mates on GT2.
