Remember when you got a game so bad you hated it, but you had no choice but to play it because 1. You were bored or 2. It was the only other game you had until you could spend your allowance on a new one? Yeah, those were the days. We were kids, we didn't know how to use the internet or weren't allowed to, we wouldn't know if a game would be good or bad, we just begged our parents to buy it, we played it, aaaaand it sucked. My question here is what game(s) is that for you? What made you hate your past choice as a gamer and left a smudge on your gaming resume? I'll start with mine. So this story goes back to Christmas of the year 2000, by this time, Donkey Kong Country for Gameboy Color came out. Keep that in mind. Now Christmas morning I was looking forward to popping in Wario Land 3, a game that I begged my Dad to get me since I saw it in the Toys R Us catalog. I used to borrow my friend's copy of Wario Land 2 and friggin' loved it. So, I was psyched. Buuuut, who had a problem with it? My Mom. (She's super religious, I mean "gay rights is bad" religious but I digress.) She didn't like the boxart and called Toys R Us to get and exchange. I was pissed. Not only did she spoil my Christmas, but she pretty much ruined the game that I had my heart set on, and wouldn't find for another 14 years. So we went to Toys R Us, now here's where Donkey Kong Country comes in. I saw it sitting there but what was right next to it? Rugrats in Paris: The Movie for Gameboy Color. Now I'm sure you know what this is leading right into. I said, "I want Don-Rugrats!"..... The game sucked. The game severely sucked. But I played it, because it was only thing I could play. No Pokemon, no mario, just Sonic and that fucking game. I am still angry to this day. Yeah I can download WL3 whenever I want, but I wanted the physical copy for collecter's reasons. So yeah...bummer.
