Games You're Embarrassed To Tell People You Own

[Steve W]

Does owning Barbie's Horse and Ride make me less of a man?

Nah, it makes you a collector. I finally found one to buy, and I had to explain to the salesguy that it was really rare and I was only buying it for collecting purposes, not to really play. Just to alleviate my embarrassment.

[lazyhoboguy]

yea even with the newer graphics sof2 is still way gorier. Like the gore on sof payback is crap. One shot to the head blows off their entire head every time. It is comical at first but then gets annoying.

Got Barbie for Nes a few weeks ago? Some side scoller. She has some dream, tried it out. Thats about it. Put it with the rest.

[psychopat]

Fairy Odd Parents on Xbox and that's it for now! but i'll sure get more of these since i buy a lot of games that sellers don't want to sell individually...

[makaar]

Probably my original copies of Sexy Beach 1-3 and Artificial Girl 1-3. I know I'm married but they're still fun...Hentai games in general aren't my liking but the 3D ones aren't bad.

[Rickstilwell1]

Yeah the guys at Game Crazy already noticed I was grabbing every single game I didn't have yet when they were going for $2.50 a piece and later $1. So they didn't say a word when they saw Barney's Hide & Seek and Barbie for Genesis, NSync Get to the Show for Game Boy Color, or even Mary Kate & Ashley Crush Course and Spiceworld for Playstation 1. Haha, one employee said his cousin tried to play Spiceworld and beat it after a while.

But nothing embarasses me because I have no shame. I know what I'm doing and I care not what others think. Everybody knows I'm a collector.

But you should know where these games go: in the closet in cardboard boxes with all the sports games and games that the Angry Video Game Nerd hates.

[Sonicwolf]

Lego Racers 64. That game still brings vomit to the tip of my tongue.

I'm not embaressed that I OWN Kingdom Hearts, but I'm embaressed that I absolutely love it. I can't stand Disney, I hate everything it stands for, but my god I love Kingdom Hearts!

I just kills me that I'm a Kingdom Hearts fanboy

[dwarme]

i... don't really know...
i can't seem to remember any games from my childhood that i've played that'd be kinda "wow"...
and your childhood is the only time when you'll experiment with really crappy games and perhaps develop a liking D:
OH quest 64, that was really awesome back in the day and i got wicked far into it, but i recently bought it and i cannot see how i did good in this game.. also it looks really terrible and the score isn't as great as remembered.

[obesolete]

I have almost all of those ;_;. Embarassing. I have made it a quest of mine to collect all of the games he reviews. I really actually like Nightmare on Elm Street on NES. He bashed it so bad but I think it is extraordinarily hard but fun.

[RASK1904]

Shove it!
The Warehouse Game.

This is actually the title. The cover looks so generic and plain bad. It's about a gut that moves boxes in a warehouse for a living.? All day he thinks about hot chicks, fast cars and cold hard cash. It says if you can beat the game you get this stuff. I have to beat this game. In between levels it has a really bad animation of him sliding a box across the warehouse floor. The game isn't really that bad. It's kinda a good puzzle game? But who had the idea to make a game about a guy in a warehouse? Then call the game Shove it! The Warehouse Game! Really? That's the best there imagination could do? All they had to do was change the sprites of the guy, change the sprites of the boxes, keep all the workings and definitely change the name of the game!!! Aliens, gross stuff, Cartoon things IDK!? Anything but Shove it! The Warehouse Game!!! I love how f'n stupid this game is!

Sounds like Sokoban!

[Famidrive-16]

I still shudder whenever I look at Shadow the Hedgehog on my shelf. Even though it wasn't that bad in general.

[retrogamer96]

Any "kiddy" games I have

[boogiecat]

Those old kiddie Genesis games.

[otoko]

pokemon was hella cool back in grade school, but not so much in college lol.

What are you talking about? I know several people in my college that play pokemon. In my Anime club it's a rather long running joke.

same thing in my Battlestar Galactica club.

[Diosoth]

For me it'd be Sonic Riders. Not a very good game at all but I own it for completism.

[makaar]

As with chemdawg (and many here) I used to play Pokemon Blue/Red when I was younger, and never bought another after Yellow, but have been going back and re-collecting the ones I skipped over the years because my oldest kid has taken a liking to them. He also likes pogs so its fun to see someone enjoying something you did at a younger age...

Personally, every once and a while I pick up my Pokemon Blue and play it and Im 18. Its just a well made, simple, engaging RPG. The new ones blow, from what I heard, but the originals are always classics.

The new ones are not bad... but they lack the charm of the originals in my opinion.
