Perspective changes over time, and I was looking at my old gameboy, NES, and SNES collection, and damn there was some games that were just god awful that I loved and invested a lot of time into as a kid... just didn't know any better. What are some of yours?

Here's a couple of mine:

Cool Spot (Gameboy):

You actually play as the 7-up mascot from back in the day. An awful sidescrolling platformer that I beat probably close to 50 times.

Primal Rage (Gameboy):

This game was decent on other platforms, but it sure as hell sucked out loud on gameboy. That didn't stop me from playing it for weeks at a time due to my dinosaur obsession.

LINK

Tazmania (SNES):

I remember this being the only game I played for a month straight trying to beat it and I finally did. Looking back, the concept of the game was pretty interesting, run down the roads and try to eat all the birds, but I doubt more than 1,000 people in the world even played this thing.

It's actually pretty crazy pulling up videos of all these old games I haven't touched in years... you hear the songs from the games and instantly recognize them.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Wolf 3d
Kings Quest VI
Lands of Lore
Leisure Suit Larry
Treehouse

Those games were my childhood. None of them particularly bad though, except Leisure Suit Larry. Can't believe I've been a PC gamer for over 20 years.

Though I did play the Ninja Turtles games for NES, and Street Fighter games.

I loved Cool Spot on Sega Genesis. I also probably beat it about 50 times.

I had it on Sega. The game was hard as shite.

I'll throw out Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck's World of Illusion. Two person game that was fun and hard as shite. Anyone else play that one?

There is an X-Men/Spider-Man game that I found recently for the Genesis and tried to play and couldn't handle it.

Cool Spot is still fun.
