    I've made a load of mistakes, but the worst was getting rid of my NES Star Force prototype along with a shitload of NES games including Mega Man 1-6, Ninja Gaiden 1-3 (#3 being complete) and Castlevania Trilogy. Also had an Alladdin Deck Enhancer and Tengen Tetris (luckily no game stores took Maxi 15 cartridges or it'd be gone also). But yeh. Now it'll cost a load to get them all back.

    Selling off all my old nes stuff. I had a HELLA fun multicart my dad bought me while he was on business in hong kong and I miss all the games that were on it.

    Other than that, probably selling my boxed diner and galaxian for vic20.

    No one has any game PLAYING moments they regret? It's ALL about collecting and getting rid of stuff?

    Mine is probably the time I broke my friend's nose after he 'accidentally' reset the NES after I won a game of Baseball Stars. I didn't get the money, didn't get to power up my shortstop... so I threw him off the couch. Unfortunately he landed on his face. Ow. I think we were 16.

    Another was watching another friend catch an ass whuppin from his father because of Zelda. We'd sat there for like 5 hours trying to beat the blue knights, the whole last hour his mother telling us to stop playing and go outside. When we finally beat the knights, we went nuts, jumping all over the furniture and being generally insane. His mother came in and turned the NES off BEFORE WE SAVED and told us to go outside. My friend had a monster tantrum calling her every name he could think of in English AND Italian... and then his father decided enough was enough and gave him a whuppin. The whole time I'm sitting there like "uh, I don't THINK he'll whup me... but maybe he will, who knows?" He didn't.

    How many more people have PLAYING regrettable moments? I suspect that's what the original poster wanted.

    All the games I bought, but didn't like, or because my brother begged me to get them..

    Some of them I can think of:
    Phantasy Star Online 1 & 2 for Xbox. I'm still paying for it.
    Viewtiful Joe (Paid the $35 for it. Don't really like it.)
    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. (My brother loved it. Until he beat it.)
    Soul Calibur II (My brother begged me. I only got it because we had an original cased one and not a PC version. Fortunately it was only $20.)
    Pac-Man World 2 Players Choice (Turns out, it couldn't hold my interest long enough.)
    Star Wars Clone and Tetris Worlds (The Tetris has no freaking score board! WHAT THE FUDGE? It's NOT TETRIS without a SCORE YOU DUMBASSES!! I did like the variations, but I guess I should have invested in one of the PSX or N64 ones.)
    The Sims Bustin' Out (Turns out, I remembered I didn't really like The Sims much.)

    I keep saying I'll sell some of this stuff, but the former collector in me keeps telling me no. Dammit. So I'm stuck.

    I've got a good one. I was unemployed and needed the money. I've since recovered the PDS

    Keep in mind, all games complete and Mint

    Sold:

    Panzer Dragoon Saga
    Shining Force 3
    Burning Rangers
    Dragon Force

    That hurt a lot after they were gone.

    The time I pooped my pants while playing Super Mario Bros in an Arcade because I didn't want to lose my game(I'd made it all the way to the 3rd World).

    Most my regrets are not picking up certain titles when I had the chance. Such as not getting Panzer Dragoon SAGA for Saturn at $50. Begging for both the powerpad and powerglove as a kid. Having horrible taste in games as I was little. The only good thing I have ever done was pick up mint Dracula X for PCE at about $50. Guess that makes up for all my blunders.

    Hahah I did the same thing! Except it wasn't for Super Mario Bros, it was TMNT, Don't remeber which one. I was like 4 at the time.

    Now that I've recently picked up another Dreamcast I'm severely regretting the day that I dumped my original system and rather large "all new" DC library....in favor of the then new PS2. Dumbest thing that I've ever done.

    All of the DC games that I'm seeing in the wild are badly scratched beyond what I usually accept. My "new" DC library is going to have to look like shit.

    Trading in Rival Schools and Einhander for Chrono Cross.

    But I was desperate. I wanted to be one of the people to get the game on launch. So unfortunately something had to give.

    When I traded my ACD Strider for Mad Stalker. Then the trading away of that and my Arcade Card Duo for some lame US Hucards. Finally, my getting rid of my Kisado for a measily $30 because the only Japanese Hucard I had was Majin Eiyuu Wataru (Keith Courage). I still want to get that Kisado back.

    When I was about 6 or 7(and didn't collect games or systems), I helped my mom throw away the old Intellivision system(complete with box, manual, inserts, everything. From when it was new), and about 50 games(all complete with box/manual/overlays/inserts, like new). Just because it was "Taking up space" in the closet!!!

    Not buying a brand new complete Sega Genesis with Sonic 3D Blast from Wal-Mart with a bunch of games. The systems were $20 and all games were $5!!!

    Buying Superman 64 for full price!!!

    Giving my Nintendo 64 away because I didn't care and I was getting a PlayStation. X_X Luckily a few days later when we went to the store I came to my sences, and got an Ice Blue Nintendo 64 system(which I will never sell or give away!)

    Buying a PlayStation instead of a Dreamcast in 2000(don't get me wrong, PSX is sweet, but DC is just the best).

    Playing Twisted Metal 3, for a long time I actually thought this was a great game, what was wrong with me?

    Saying "Sega Saturn is just a 2nd rate PlayStation" Please don't kill me, I love the Saturn now, but this was back when it was dying and all I had mostly seen for it were the crappy games.

    If only more people had done that. Maybe we'd have the sequels we so rightly deserve.

    I remember literally THROWING AWAY my NES stuff in high school. The console itself wasn't working, so my borther threw it out. We didn't see much need for the games without the console (and I was big into the SNES, and TG16) so I threw those away as well. Nothing super rare or anything, just the classics such as mario, zelda, contra, final fantasy, etc.... Now that I collect I rue the day I trashed that stuff. Although we didn't keep our stuff in the best of shape so it was no big loss.

    at least that's what I try and tell myself
