Games You're Embarrassed To Tell People You Own

[xfactor1984]

The little mermaid and mickey mousecapade for the Nes. Little mermaid was easy but mickey mousecapade pisses me off, it was directed towards little kids but even an adult cant beat that pieace of trash. I cant beleive that games wears the capcom name!

Basically almost every title in my sega cd collection with the exception of rise of the dragon.

Whatever you do, do not play fahrenheit for the sega cd, worst game ever.

Sadly, I don't own any games I'm embarrased to own. And actually, I get off on telling people all the weird games I own. Some reason it makes me feel good.

I don't have any Sesame Street games yet because they're way too expensive at GS. I had one years ago when I bought a DOA NES off eBay. I stupidly traded all the games in that I didn't want. I wish I had kept them. If I had known I'd be a collector 3 years later. We also used to have both Pokémon Snap and Pokémon Stadium. But we traded those too. Dammit!

The only game I have that was mentioned here is M.C.Kids. That game is actually GOOD. I feel any licensed game that is actually playable can't be bad. The Virgin and Capcom Disney games for the SNES and Genesis are some examples.

My dream is to have every game that makes normal people embarrased to own. Because I can't be embarrased by them.

Full Size BOONGA BOONGA. And no, I don't use the supplied plastic finger...but rather, something else *cough*

Hello Kitty's Cube Frenzy is a game that I like to play, but don't really talk about in public.

[rbudrick]

Ok, Ok.

I've got you all beat, but don't tell ANYONE, please?

I own two copies of Choaniki: Great Brother for the PC Engine. One is sealed mint. A paid way more than you'd guess for them, and yes, I am indeed a heterosexual.

Can anyone top that?

I own both Richard Scarys Busy Town and Crystals Pony Tale for the Genny. I also believe that the whole backyard sports series are the best sports games out there.

games I should be embarrased about but just am not. Barney for genesis, power rangers (actually pretty good games except for the scd) and whac a critter for the genesis (pathetic excuse for a game) I am not afraid to tell people about these games because I am a completionist and I collect them and don't play them. Now if I owned (let alone find one) a Whac A Critter Controller I may have something to be embarrased to own!!!!

[Sibs]

Games I used to have that were embarrasing were Power Rangers for the SNES and a Winnie the Pooh game for the Gameboy Color. Sold 'em a couple years ago cuz I never played 'em.

At CGE 2K3 when I was working on my NGPC collection and I bought this one game at the Neo-Geo booth that was complete and kind of interesting-looking, but entirely in Japanese. A guy translated for me right before I bought it: "Melon-Chan's Growth Diary."

It's fun to tell people about that one, they just get that "WTF... wha...huh?" look on their face. If I could read Japanese, I could tell you more about it, but it seems like a sort of Tamagotchi game with a little girl (apparently named Melon-Chan) to raise.

I wonder if that beats rbudrick... or at least competes...

I'm actually enjoying getting some of the super fruity stuff from Japan.

I just bought Twinbee: Rainbow Bell Adventures (SFC), but I'm not embarassed about it.

My wife did give me a strange look about Marchen Adventure Cotton 100% (SFC), though.

U-la-la

Most of my Sega CD games, which I bought for kicks (except for Sewer Shark, which was cursed to stay in my collection when I got the system):

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Prize Fighter (also with the cursed words, "Not for resale")
Sewer Shark
Tomcat Alley

Needless to say, they all suck.

[josekortez]

Considering that I started this thread so many months ago, and since I thought it was lost forever, I'll add the Barbie Genesis game I got in a lot a few weeks ago.

Are you kidding? I go to great lengths to brag about owning that game! I dunno why. But they do always get a laugh.

And yes, it does totally suck. Wow.. Power Rangers TV in 16 colors.

I owned one of those ghastly Kriss Kross Sega CD masterpieces even though I didn't own the Sega CD machine. It was a .99 cents impulse purchase at a junk/overstock store. I was hoping to score a cheap Sega CD somewhere down the line. On the plus side, the game has disappeared after a recent move. Whew!! What the heck was Sega thinking. Surprised there wasn't a Gerardo edition too.

I'd take it to go with my INXS one.

Super Mario Sunshine

What's wrong with this great game..one of the reasons I bought a GameCube

[videogameking26]

Oni (PS2) x_x
Big Mutha Truckers (PS2)
Project Eden (PS2)

Played all three a few times and can't get into any of them..Oni was ok but other two man are horrible but were given to me free by my brother who said them sucked.

Ariel the Little Mermaid - Megadrive

I just got that the other day. I'm still torn. But I'm not embarrassed. It's fun, but it's no Mario 64. But it is a big challenge. I can't believe how hard they made this game. If they had included a remake of Mario 64 with it, I'd probably be spending more time on that first.

But it's fun. Not sure if it was worth the $30 I spent. $20, yes. But damn you Nintendo.. I've bought it! Now you can lower the damn price! Just like you did with Viewtiful Joe the week after I bought THAT!

[Demonic_destiny69]

Final Fantasy X-2, and i beat it twice.

[Ed Oscuro]

Ariel the Little Mermaid - Megadrive

Heh, I've got that one - haven't tried playing it, yet. I think my SNES copy of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will likely come first, even though my Genesis is hooked up right now

[Aussie2B]

I have no shame. o_O I am proud to share with others that I very happily own two Choaniki games (the Super Famicom figher and the PS2 shooter), and I fully intend to buy more whenever I can.

I also love dating sims (hentai or not). Now that I think about it, it's odd that my boyfriend's family is so accepting of the fact that I play dating sims (not the ones designed for girls, just the standard ones). They've never once questioned my sexuality or anything. O_o But then again, I only play Japanese dating sims, so for the most part, they have no clue what's going on in the game.

And of course, I have a whole slew of crap. Tons of cheesy NES games, lots of Sega CD FMV games, two different versions of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Home Alone, Shaq Fu, both Quest games (Quest 64 and Brian's Journey), Xena, War Gods, and that's just the beginning... O_O

That probably accounts for everything.

Say, got yerself a Night Trap? Just curious.

Myself, I'm not ashamed of anything I own - really the only game I'm mad to own is that blasted sealed Baloon Boy/Funny World Genesis cart. Buttasuperb gets the blame for that. Hey, anybody need one of those? Real cheap.

[den68]

well I've got tons of the kids games across multiple systems. Sesame Street, Disney, Barney, Blues Clues and the like. Yes, they do pad my collection but I do have a 4 year old daughter who plays a lot of them. She particularly likes Grovers Counting Cafe on Genesis and Miss Spiders Tea Party for PS1. I can't say I'm embarrased to own them.

I do have Britneys Dance Beat but that was really for my wife along with DDR Max and a Dance matt.

I've got no excuses for purchasing these 3 though: NSYNC: get to the show, Marky Mark Make my Video and one of the Mary Kate & Ashley games for PS1.

I probably should be embarrassed by these but I'm not. The 4 Harry Potter games that came out for PS2, 2 on PS1 and one for Game Boy color. yup I'm a proud 36 year old Harry Potter fanboy.
