Games you absolutely refuse to own

[scarmullet]

What are games you would rather throw in a bin rather than add to your collection?

I have a small list

Ultima IX: Ascension
This game, I got for my birthday in 1999, and I loved the Ultima games since I was a wee youngin, and this game....I broke a keyboard over a wall over this game.

Napoleon Dynamite: The Game
No, just...no....NO

Command and Conquer for ANY console (PC only)
Sometimes PC controls do not transition well to a console.....Dune: Battle for Arrakis, Clock Tower, and Sim City are all examples of how it can be done, but any C&C console port I have played...was craaaaap.

Dune for Sega CD
(see Command and Conquer)

World of Warcraft
(see Napoleon Dynamite: the Game)

Hmm... that's a tough one... maybe any of the "Imagine" games on the DS? (see Napoleon Dynamite: the Game)

Any sport games. They are obsolete within a year and are pretty boring, sure there are a few good ones but that about it.

[satoshi_matrix]

Yeah, I tend to agree but there are some sports games that age beatifully and are just as fun to play now as they were when they were new. Some examples:

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (NES)
Tecmo Super Bowl (NES)
Mario Golf (GBC)

I'm a huge sports fan on the side - add ESPN 2K5 to that list! It was one of the last great realistic sports games IMO, I still play the current Madden games though because I have a spending problem lol. For cartoon-y sports games:  Mutant League Hockey/ Football, Mario Strikers series (great with multiple friends), NFL Blitz and NHL '96 for the Genesis were all excellent. I went to the free-play rooms at PAX a year ago and there were STILL people competitively playing NHL '96. Sometimes considered the apex of NHL games.

Pretty much any of the shitty-ass FMV games from the beginning of the CD gaming era.

A good portion of those FMV games were pretty "MEH", but they've been always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Anyone remember Mansion of the Hidden Souls on the Sega CD? "This key doesn't fit!" LMAO, classic.

I agree with Napoleon Dynamite: The Game.

Also anything with the Olsen Twins and games that look like ports of free flash games.

Ugh, can't stand a single one of them, and that includes Dragon's Lair.  I'd rather play Madden '94 for the rest of my life

Sports, any of the CoD games, I'm going to say childrens "Learning" games such as Dora and Deago or things along that line...but having a new baby boy....they could end up in the house in the next few years.

Most shooters aren't welcome in my house too.

And keep any gimmicky, crappy, third party Wii game the hell away from me.....kinda hate the Wii and Nintendo for abandoning its long time hardcore gamers and putting their focus solely on the motion control crap.....I want to play the new Zelda....just not with the stupid ass Wii-mote.

[amarthar]

All FMV games except The Journeyman Project III. That was a great game. Cheesy as hell, but that's how I like'em. Still looking for a copy.

Any Modern Warfare type FPS.

Any modern movie tie-in game.

As a collector, i wouldn't REFUSE to own any.  There are certain games i wouldn't actively seek to buy - but if it came my way, perhaps in a lot of other games - if i don't already have it, it gets shelf space. 

[larryinc64]

I can't say there are any games I refuse to own, but there are games I have an just do not care about and tend to overlook them as a part of my collection. Games such as: Yearly sports titles (Madden, NFL blits 2000 ect) Most of these I have loose tossed somewhere, exept one Madden 2000 that has 20 price stickers all over it, each with a lower prise, and it's kinda funny. Some games I count but do not care for is Ping Pals (DS) NFL 94 (gen) Shrek Swampkart (GBA), I have many "Kids" games such as Bearny Hide and Seek, some Phisher Price, Blues Clues, Sessame Street, Dragon Tales, and Sonic Schoolhouse, the last one was the only one I actively bought offline. These games are kind of funny to own, I had some good times playing around withthese with some friends.

Any sports game I avoid like the pest except for Golf Games.

Don't ask me why but I like Golf in digital form.

FMV games do suck yes but still some of them are quite fun because of their extreme cheesyness.

Psychic Detective
Snow Job
Sewer Shark
Mad Dog McCree
Crime Patrol
Daedalus Encounter

Just to name a few.

That whole list is good! I love them, I'd compare it to watching a B-movie myself - you know it's bad, but you can't seem to stop watching it. Another favorite was Phantasmagoria for the PC, that was pretty fun.
