What Games are you Embarrassed about?

[Nin-Nin69]

Everyone has this. There is one game genre or series that you love, but are embarrassed to talk about in public. Mine would have to be the Gals Panic series.

For those who don't know what this is, it's a Qix puzzle game where you're a little gem that has to uncover pictures of girls without getting attacked by witches, dogs, devils, boxers, skeletons, teddy bears, dragons, or anything else that's just plain weird. Sometimes the game will change the picture at random and you'll have to uncover a different picture like a ninja or a frog. The problem I have with this is the game is an H themed series. Yet I don't care about that aspect.

It's one of the most addicting puzzle games I've ever played. I'd rather play more games in this format and the closest we've ever got here on our shores to this type of puzzle game are Qix and Cacoma Knight in Bizyland. However Qix is boring and Cacoma Knight in Bizyland is slower, but it's the same basic game.

Embarrassed..?

I don't get it.

...I'm not really embarrassed about anything. Especially not a video game.

I dunno, maybe it's just me.

[chris3116]

You want an embarrassment. Play E.T. on Atari and enjoy it.

[veemonjosh]

Embarrassed? Well...

Those are the series I love to play, but I'm embarrassed to mention in public.

[Hurricane V1]

I really enjoyed playing the PS2 version of Legaia. My friends all say it's an awful and uninspired game but I can't help but love playing it. Final Fantasy X and X-2 can only be played so many times after all.

[The Horcrux]

I'm embarrassed that I liked FF X-2 :sweat:

[Duke]

I pre-ordered Clay Fighter 63 1/3...

[tigerrunner]

I'm a huge Kirby fan. There's nothing more emasculating than admitting you like to play a video game staring a pink puffball. That and I'm also really good as Peach in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Also there's playing as Toad in, well, anything.

[Kaoru]

You want an embarrassment. Play E.T. on Atari and enjoy it. LOL! Or Pong on Comodore 64.

But nothing's as embarassing as Strongbad's duck feeding.

I'm just kidding I like peacebyanymeans am not embarrassed by anything especially games. If I was embarrassed by those things I probably wouldn't watch cartoons.

[Crow]

I at one stage owned Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

I at one stage also owned a fishing sim.

TOP THOSE!

[Noukon]

Space Channel 5, I guess. I'm not really embarassed by it, but the way people talk to me when I say I like the games can have a temporary effect of embarassment.

There is no shame in loving Kirby, though, because Kirby is @#$%ing badass.

[Tenku]

Just how Mortal Kombat is embarrassing? Granted, when we were younger, we'd go around screaming "GET OVER HERE!" and whatnot.

I'm embarrassed about DDR, to be honest. When people say that it's for girls, I normally say, "Well, funny you should say that..." and I get embarrassed for people when they are stomping on a poor arrow.

Other than that, nothing else.

[Crow]

I loved the 2D MK stuff don't get me wrong (still haven't had a chance to play anything 3D other than MK4) - even SubZero Mythologies was alright.

Ulimate Mortal Kombat 3 for the SNES was a real waste of space, I was taken hook line and sinker.

[Kevin the Geek]

I pre-ordered Clay Fighter 63 1/3...
I actually enjoyed that game. It's too bad that I can't find my copy of that game, because it would be great to play it again (Plus, I would also get to hear Booger Man fart again :D).

Anyway, even though I don't think it's all that embarrassing, some people may find it embarrassing that I own a copy of The Powerpuff Girls: Relish Rampage for PS2.

[Mr. Pedro]

I didn't think Shaq-Fu was all that bad.............:sweat:

[Frank Castle]

I play Batman Dark Tomorrow quite a bit. Also, Beast Wars is one of my top 5 favorite games.

[Dark Fact]

It's one of the most addicting puzzle games I've ever played. I'd rather play more games in this format and the closest we've ever got here on our shores to this type of puzzle game are Qix and Cacoma Knight in Bizyland. However Qix is boring and Cacoma Knight in Bizyland is slower, but it's the same basic game.
You forgot Volfied.


You want an embarrassment. Play E.T. on Atari and enjoy it.
Well I did.

You might as well add these to the list:

- Barney's Hide and Seek for the Genesis
- Teletubbies for the PS1
- The Simpsons Wrestling
- Dual Heroes for the N64
- Paperboy for the N64
- Atari 2600 Pac-Man
- Mickey's Mousecapade
- Mario is Missing
- Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring for SNES
- Wizardry

[Joker1238]

yeah Pitt Fighter, the greatness game that was ever made, NOT.

I never beat that game, and it was a bad game, and I mean digging in the bottom of the barrel bad, and with out monkeys lol.

[Nin-Nin69]

Hmm never heard of Volfied. I'll have to give that a shot. :)

[Dark Fact]

For the record, the games that I played on that list that I made in my previous post were Wizardry, Mickey Mousecapade, Lord of the Rings and Atari 2600 Pac-Man. The others I won't touch with a 29-and-a-half foot pole. :ack:

[Artimus Gigan]

Dino Riki

I made consistant efforts to conquer this seeminly unconquerable games that had ungodly frusteraiting difficulty

and when I beat the last level, I just ended back up at the first. Yes the game had no ending and was just a constant loop to see how high you could get your score, not to mention it had 8 levels and half of the levels were just negative colored versions of the first four.

Also it had hardly any dinosaurs

[IanC]

I have plenty of games i should be embarrassed of liking (apparently) but i dont care.

[veemonjosh]

Another one I'm embarrassed about...

I actually LIKED playing the PS2 Astro Boy game...:o

[Storm Eagle]

How about the Carmen Sandiego series? Is there any shame in that? I even got the latest game in the series that came out for the consoles in 2004.

[Lazyboi13]

Gotcha Force (Gamecube) - inredablly chessey and didnt get very good reviews
P.N.0.3 (Gamecube) - Generally regarded as a **** game
Rayman/2/3 (PS1/DC/GBA) - y'know cheesy and childish

i also have a lot of old skool mario/sonic games but i dont really think them as embaressing, as there yknow, old skool

[Shredder]

How about McDonald's Treasureland Adventure for the Genesis? It's actually great 2-D sidescroller, believe it or not. Another Genesis/SNES game that comes to mind is Boogerman. "BOOGER!!!"

[veemonjosh]

I liked Ristar...

(Poor Ristar... he has no fans... :sad: )

[Scorpio_G]

Actualy, I'm not ashamed of playing this game. I just wanted to tell you I had more fun playing Bonkers instead of this. vvv


http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f165/scorpio_g/61793569.jpg


Wake up the following moring in these girls bed's. No not the real spice girls, these girls, especially the blonde in the middle. I'll be scared and it wont because I slepted with another girl and I straight up man lover it'll be because they're hideous. Infact, the whole reason why I ended up renting this game was because...I dunno I rented everything else that was worthwile at 1998 and Smash Brother's was rented out.

Speaking of hideous the gameplay was abysmal. It was like playing a game without a objective, at least ET for the Atari and Shaq FU had some goals. Spiceworld was this:

1. Create a video out of parts of songs and pre planned syncronized dance steps. NO EXPERIENCE POINTS, NO CONFUSING THOUGHT PLANNING, NO SKILL, NO LEVELING UP, NO BRAINPOWER NEEDED.

Unfortunetly in my household if you picked a game, and mommy rented it, you better pretend to like it and play it. Therefore I was forced to be tortured until my mother returned it back to Blockbuster, if she bothered to return it in a timely fashion.

Years later as I'm typing this I began to think about the mid to late 90's in the videogame indrustry where they were trying to appeal to the girl market thru some game consols and PC games. Ok, the Spicegirls was all about girlpower or whatever and the Spicegirls hired some guys to create a game that's clearly marketed to preteens, young teenagers, and girls that doesnt require no brain power except create pretty dance moves and dance to the song. Mind you EVERYTHING is already thought out for you.

I think a lot of creative girls including me could have done well without the predisposed dance moves. In fact, I belive we could of handled playing a more well thought out, more difficult game that made it so we couldnt lose.

Did the creators of this game actually thought we would loose our "already dwindeling self esteem" if we didnt planned the right quarter step right? That we were incapable of playing a game that had difficult game mechanics like RPGs and ECT? Or that they think that we would enjoy a crappy game just because they plastered some popstars on the front cover and we like it easy?

Shame on you Spicegirls for not overseeing the developers as they created this monstrocity, same on both of you for belittling you fans and the gaming community and shame on us for buying us in. I just wanted a nice dancing game to play. And a big SCREW YOU to the developers from me because your game save somehow ERACED MY WHOLE MEMORYCARD when I saved your savefile! I WAS CLOSE TO BEATING FINAL FANTASY 8 AND I STILL HAVENT TO THIS DAY!:mad:

Some might say I'm probably reading into the crappyness a bit too much, maybe I am, but I can see thru this BS game and I think this game is offensive to all girls, gamer or not, because the creaters thought that we dont like a challenge.

I'm embarrassed I played this game but at least I have the satisfaction that a lot of us feel the same way too. And I cant get the loop of Who do you think you are? out of my head for seven years straight.:sweat:

You know there is a code to make them all nude. Yet again since it's not a popular series nobody seemed to care about it and we'll be punished with Hot Coffee. :o

[veemonjosh]

Nude right before the title screen, not the actual game.

(I know, you're probably freaking out that I actual tried it/I actually own that game. Just get over it, it was my sister's copy and I was a curious youth at the time.)

[NewGenious]

Nude right before the title screen, not the actual game.

(I know, you're probably freaking out that I actual tried it/I actually own that game. Just get over it, it was my sister's copy and I was a curious youth at the time.)You too??? small world

anyway, I can honestly say I have never been embarrased about any game I've owned.

[Michael24]

Hmmm. I'm usually never embarrased to admit I like playing any video games, but I guess the closest I could get to that would be the fact that I still occasionally like to play DIDDY KONG RACING on the N64. And for whatever reason, I usually play as Pipsy. :D

[Beat]

Kingdom Hearts. That's a game that I always look around before turning on.

[Classic Speedy]

(Poor Ristar... he has no fans... ) Wrong, I like Ristar too.

[Nin-Nin69]

There are a ton of Ristar fans. Sega just doesn't want to do anything more with this character.

Who doesnt like Ristar? It was a star! A happy star who wanted to save the world! Who hates stars? :sweat:

(You know...maybe I should start my Ristar sprite comic back up again. I've taken WAY too long a break.)

[Shredder]

I love Ristar! One of my favorite Genesis games. :)

[Lazyboi13]

another ristar fan here, fantastic game, one my favorite platformers infact

I had my parents buy me this game at Toys R Us the moment I saw it. I don't sell any of the games I've gotten over the years I just don't plan on ever putting it on my IGN list.

[tucsoncoyote]

well if you count PC games, I got a few I'm embarassed about.. Try Aurun's Trainz Train Simulator 2004 (yes it's a railroad Simulator, where you can build your own railline (as big as you want it!) and drive trains.. Sadly you can't derail the trains unless you're a bad Tracklayer..

Then there is Sim Tower (yes Maxis and EA Games Strike again) Any "Sim" game I'm embarassed about including The Sims 2, but heck it gives me a look at how (Not) to build a house..

but then there's the original SimCity by Maxis/EA (No not 2000, or 3000, or Sim City 4... the Original game!)

And Finally... Microsoft's Flight Simulator (2004) believe me, I don't mind flying a flight simulator but when you got a roommate who asks you to get it "Realistic" well you can try all you want.. but Now I tell my Roommate.. (Get a Plane..)

:coyote:

Wow! It was really developed!:eek: I played it on my computer years back.

@ Tucsoncoyote: I see you like Sim City or you're in denile. :D I had Sim Tower too. :) Was a fun game. I like most Sim games but the only one I'm embarrassed of playing and owning was Sim Town, still had fun though. :sweat:

[Game Freak 4]

Have any of you ever played Pokemon Channel?

Hey thats fun!! In its own, weird way.

It's really that bad, isn't it?

[straw_hat]

It's really that bad, isn't it?
I think it's been over 7 years since I last attempted to play it.

[Storm Eagle]

I think it's been over 7 years since I last attempted to play it.

Nintendo Power isn't too thrilled about it either. In their 100th issue, they had a top ten list of their worst games, and Bebe's Kids came out on top. In a later issue, readers even wrote in and talked about how horrible it was.

[Nin-Nin69]

I have it and it's not one of the worst games, but it's not half bad either. There were titles far worse than this game. Try looking up Ninja Clowns and you'll see what I mean. :sweat:

I think the worst game I ever played was Commando for the NES. It's an overhead view where you just shoot enemies that head towards you, and the levels scroll up. Most of the levels are rather repetitive as well. I actually finished the game the first day I played it though. Quite surprising even for me, since I found the game to be wicked hard.

There are a ton of games like Commando by SNK, Capcom, Namco, Taito, and Sega, and other old school companies. So it's really hard to compare and it was a big hit back in the day.

Big hit or not, it wasn't to my liking.

Have any of you ever played Pokemon Channel?

Ah yes, it was great.

[Game Freak 4]

Ah yes, it was great.
Yet, it has gotten some of the lowest game reviews ever. It was not that good. Hardly anybody like it. X-play gave it a 1 out of 5.

Yeah... It's a guilty pleasure.

[Tenku]

Hmm, I remember playing Pokemon Snap...like three times a day. :sweat:

[veemonjosh]

What was that game about and why did everyone hated it? :confused:

It was basically a "Sequel" to Hey You Pikachu where you would watch TV with Pikachu and occasionally go outside. (But it was REALLY addictive if you got into it.)

I think only Pokemon bashers (like X-Play) and people that just plain didn't like it (or HYP) hated it.

..........I owned that game and I beat it.........I also beated the sequel :o :lol: which sucked :sad:

[New Noise]

Spyro. It's such a kiddie game, yet I love it. ;)

[veemonjosh]

I'm embarressed that I LOVED Jak and Daxter, but ABSOLUTELY HATED the sequels.
