Worst Insults to Your Collection

[Jasoco]

Except fail miserably.

[bangtango]

When I was in college, one of my roommates was a hardcore Sony fan. I owned a Dreamcast, which he regularly called "Dreamcrap." I was furious, especially considering the PS1 system had some games I really wanted to play but couldn't on my system. I picked up the PS1 a couple of years later, meaning I now had both, so it was a moot point. It just drives me crazy knowing he was 100% right when he said my Dreamcast was "doomed to fail." :angry:

[DEJ1986]

It would have to either be my boxed, legless virtual boy or the severly cracked Ecco tides of time case with instruction manual and game I bought at a local flea market. Though, Ecco was only a dollar so... meh.

[DigitalSpace]

Update since my original post (on page 3):

-I traded off Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (SNES) a long time ago.

-I got a lock on my bedroom door a long time ago. My younger brother still borrows games from me but he's more trustworthy now.

-I still have Simpsons Wrestling, still have yet to play it again.

So what's the worst insult to my collection now? A loose Sonic Advance cart for the GBA. Good game, but the label's pretty faded. I plan to replace it with the Sonic Advance/Sonic Pinball Party combo cart sometime since Pinball Party's on my want list.

UPDATE (3/17/08): Sonic Advance has since been replaced with the combo cart.

[Three-P]

The Three-P has some collection regrets. Three in total.

1-Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. (PS2.)
After playing this and watching the boring movies, I agree with Randall Graves. "There's only one return, ok? And it ain't of the King, it's of the Jedi." This is one precious I'm not whippin' out any time soon.

2-Mortal Kombat Mythologies-Sub-Zero. (PSX.)
I heard people talking smack about MKM-SZ, but had to see for myself. I should've listened. Playing it for an hour felt like a sharp kick to the scrote, only twofold.

3-Eternal Ring. (PS2.)
This has got to be the second worst game in the history of videogames. The only one worse than this would have to be Hydlide for the NES. Playing Eternal Ring with its one-wrong-step-and-you're-fucked rule had the same "kick to the scrote" feel that Hydlide did. Only after 2 minutes, Eternal Ring was accompanied by a very minor sense of accomplishment. *pimp-slap!*

[cosmicpsycho]

worst insult? probably when my ex stole my genesis, super nes, and skullmonkeys, cause she knew it was my favorite ps1 game. ughh

[Technosis]

Well there's quite a few craptacular games. But one item that seems to take the crown is that horrible Coleco TV muti-game that's been released. I got it cheap at a garage sale in a plain white box. It is just name whoring at it's worst since the games have nothing to do with the old Coleco logo, and the games are just terrible.

[grolt]

I bought my brother HORSEZ for Christmas as a joke, taping the receipt to the front so he could go exchange it for a good game. He laughed, but then forgot to return it in time, so now it languishes in his collection, invalidating every other great game he has like a cancer. I'm nice like that. :D

[Athunder]

Dead to Rights 1 and 2 sitting on the shelf next to the rest of my PS2 collection insults it daily. I would trade them in but I doubt I will get more than one dollar a piece for them. Any takers?

[Cryomancer]

I've got a Sonic 3 cart with all of the following:

front and rear blockbuster stickers
clear stickers over top of them
used game stickers from some store
"garage sale" pricing, aka marker overtop of the stickers.

[otaku]

Mostly just insults online with lowball prices/trade offers. And of course my family likes to give me shit for playing/collecting games.

A few girls at work have to but recently had a few girls over for a wii party they totaly dug the wii and thought everything else was cool to-I swear that system is a babe magnet had a hell of a time that night :)

[hayabusa_fmw]

the worst insult i had ''online''

was Beeing fasly accused of ''sold an arcade to a guy'' last year

In a group in canada called cgcc (not a good bunch if i could add that)
sorry for the ones who actually enjoy this place...

but in the arcade section they are just a bunch of ''friends that bashes every new comer , & make fun of you if your not in the ''CLICK''

They still accuse me to this Date to have robbed the guy off
when i never did it
& it still pisses me OFF
Big time!

I never fucked no one
I have proofs all over
on digit press i bought , & sold ,

www.racketboy.com
www.ebay.com
& many many many more!

If you want to know how the story went
I tryed to Type it as good as i can

sorry im ''french'' so don'T expect nothing fancy there :)

The Story was:

HIGHSPEED = RICK FUSCO = rick_fusco@hotmail.com : from alymer

(if you ever see him on ebay , or on a website, ) DON'T TALK TO HIM , don't trust him don't buy nothing don't even look at his stuff!

He s Sales on ebay & kijiji ottawa


When i first started In the arcade Hobby

I didn't have a clue who was good & who was bad..

all i wanted is to buy my first machines
and find good deals & helpful people



He sold me a machine that was a Red painted neo-geo machine



He was pushing me to buy buy buy buy to deliver it The next day trying to deal me all over

after a while i decided to buy it since : it was suposed to work 100% & i didn't have any cabinet & i was excited to start the hobby

I payed this machine around 380+ shipping 60$ (can,t remember exactly)

It arrived at my house ....


all broken up not like on pics

sticky red ''a** crap paint job''


I was dessapointed but i told myself ,hell if the monitor & PCB board works im gonna gut this peice of junk & throw it away no trouble....

We got it inside my house

He left as soon as it was done
like lighting fast
He had some ''buisness he said'' or some other deal to do....


<I plug this garbage in

The monitor was bleeding red colors , it had signs of screen burn dated of BURGERTIME era but SEVERE , plus the neo geo pcb was faulty.... it had a short on board ....

I knew i just got fucked over

....,



I emailed Highspeed

I told him : What the f***!

He then replyed

you know those things happen ... blah blah blah : buy a new pcb on ebay i can't do mess blah blah.

It happened to me when i delivered to cRaig = user : teamatonic
blah blah blah blah ......

ok but huh?


so basicly he didn't want to exchange me nothing.

not even Give me an onze of money back

alright then I was madly mad

<I told him
:Take it back

He told me sorry i can't , but i will see what i can do


During that time

I then started to gut the cabinet (imagine a cab i just got & payed 380$ for .... already fucked up)

I listed it on maaca

as ''BURGERTIME CABINET + Control panel + EXTRA 19'' MONITOR for a price''

<rick calls me & says : HEy i can buy it tonight if you want but only 100$....

After 30 mins of discussion i decided to say yes

>His friend comes in
I think he comes on the forum
I will post his nick name once i find out

He gives me 100$
he doesn't have a clue what he is doing himself
he doesn't even know what he has to pick up

he pays me (NOT RICKs MONEY BUT HIS OWN MONEY)
& he leaves

DONE DEAL

Never planning to buy something from him



Then the BANG that everyone heard occured

Rick during all this time was talking to B1 on Cgcc.ca
& was making a deal , for the cab i was actually selling to rick

But he was ''talking just like if i was selling it to B1..... wich i didn't even know''

so i have been blamed for something i never did.

& many people know he has a fishy reputation here

Many has PMED ME FROM MAACA & hate him without knowing him

Please post to show yourself!
many from St-jean , montreal , & other areas


some even know him from ccjvq.com
He they all know he sales broken machines & sets high shipping but you rarely hear any blast Directed to him!


AND I QUOTE TERRY EDWARDS : B1 on CGCC.Ca

Email received : march 27 ; 2007

He orignally said 400 then 300 and I laughed at him...
( I told him a friend would do it for nothing...so that should answer your
question as to if we are friends)
we know each other from the cgcc.ca and have had some deals in the past...but
not friends...

Email received : march 27 ; 2007


Yes slimy is what you think it is...not always a bad person...but can be

High pressure sales; will tell a person anything, like a used car
salesman...

Take care

Terry

March 31, 2007 3:01:45 AM



Poor little prick... I mean rick....


I always found terry's remark priceless on this one i kept the email for that
just for fun

theres more but i keep them was evidence in case of.



In conclusion:

I was a victim (BOO HOO HOO )
I learned a hell of a lesson there in this deal
im glad i took part of it
since Now i know how people crook there way in to make a buck or 2


Just had to Make a mention , since insults can be done verbally & online aswell.
some take it lightly but not me I take pride in serving well!

[grolt]

I've been trying to play ALF on the Sega Master System. I've known it was a notoriously bad game with a checkered production history, but man, this is bad. Like who thought up the idea that the Alfer needed a salami stick to beat away bats with? If anything they'd probably flock to it. Stupid, stupid game!

[NES_Rules]

The biggest insult to my collection was my own stupidity. Back when the NES was new, my dad smartly saved all the game's boxes and put them away. A few years ago (before I got into collecting) I found the box of boxes while cleaning out my room. I was desperate for space, so I figured these had to go. So, I took out the manuals (at least I saved them) and took the boxes outside and burned them. There was nothing too special, but they were in mint condition and even had the styrofoam. It was a couple years after that that I got into collected and soon realized what an idiot I was for doing that.

[Slate]

The Aura Interactor. *shudder* Even broken genesis sytems are better!

[Trevelyan]

Barbie for NES. I was bored and wrote a review here...

http://uk.gamespot.com/nes/action/barbie/player_review.html

under the name thedogisbarking...woof! ha, hope you stick with it. :)

[Nophix]

I'm pretty lucky with my family.They've grown up with my obsessions. My wife's family collects everything under the sun, so they usually don't say much. Well, her dad anyhow. Her mom has been known to borrow a game or 2... :)

My wife gets into some of it with me. She doesn't mess with older computers, but she does get into the NES days, SNES days, and DC era pretty well. The Wii I bought was actually for her, because she was extremly excited about its launch.

My kids are into it as well. My son not only plays the NES(loves Duck Hunt!), Wii(Mario Galaxy, and he's only 3!), and the gaming PC, he has his own iMac G3 with a few child oriented games. Sabriel(who's 1), pretty much plays whatever we are at the time.

I guess the general thought everyone has is
a) the bills are paid, and we have a nice place to live and good vehicles
b) I'm not out in the bars and running all over the place, ignoring my family
c) it's a huge bonding time between the kids and I since I'm getting them into it as well

So, I win any way you slice it!

[madcookie83]

When my second disc on Final Fantasy cracked, or when I sold a lot of games so I could have money. I havn't done that in years now and I'm glad that I havn't and hoped that I never will!

[darkhades]

Since I only collect games that I personally enjoy, there are no crappy games to insult my collection. The only insult I would consider is my CIB Dragon Warrrior 2 (NES). I have all 4 Dragon Warrior games on the NES, 1,3, and 4 are CIB and in Mint condition, but my copy of Dragon Warrior 2 the box is so beat up, I wont keep it on my shelf with my other Dragon Warrior games.

[DJ Daishi]

ummm...it would have to be my Game.com...what was I smoking that convinced me to get this instead of a gameboy!?!

[Sabz5150]

Achika's post brings to mind something I felt similar about- who openly displays their stuff and shows it off and who is more selective about who they show it to? I'm of the latter, though I can afford to be secretive without being a shut in. I've only got about 130 pieces and it takes up a 4 foot square area in my personal bedroom.

I display my collection PROUDLY. I don't care what anyone else thinks or says.

[megasdkirby]

I've gotten the following:

"Money Waster"

"You buy too much crap"

"You know, you could have used that money to get laid"

"WTF"

[Nebagram]

Anybody who questions me for my collection, I simply ask them what their hobbies are. Either a) they're comparable in cost and scope, like my brother and his $6000 track bikes (not to mention his $30 000 Porsche), or b) they don't have any hobbies at all, which is the cue for a serious ripping.

[Sabz5150]

"You know, you could have used that money to get laid"

Ask any woman what they think of a guy who can move his hands and fingers in rapid motions for hours on end ;)

[murdoc rose]

the biggest insult to my collection is that I don't have room to display it.

[Fuyukaze]

every time i bring someone over and they look at it and claim i must have spent enough to buy a house.

christ, it's not like i've earned 200K in my life, I've not even spent enough to get a damn Kia!

every time someone asks me if I have any kid games like barbie or bratz. i collect what i want to play, not what's available.

every time someone says i must have like 5000 games and should give some away cause they have too many and only have 20 or 30.

[Sabz5150]

the biggest insult to my collection is that I don't have room to display it.

Curse you, Laws of Physics!!!

[eskobar]

Maybe the CD-I Zelda's ... or Dragon Ball GT for PS1 a game that i am very fond of ... but over time i accepted that this gem really sucks.

[ganondorf]

Biggest insult for me is that I have more gamecube games than NES games, which is kind of sad. In fact, looking at my small collection (290 games) I have more gamecube games (27 games) than NES (26), SNES(21), Genesis(24), and N64(18). kinda sad if you ask me.

The worst games I have? Luckily, I got them both for free, from a friend who hated them. Castlevania: Legacy of darkness, and Mortal kombat mythologies: subzero for N64 are pretty bad.

[MrSparkle]

Someone recently walked into my room and said. "Wow you must have like 100 games!". too bad i have over twice that many nes games alone :X. Then theres my female friend "I bet if you didn't buy all this old crap you could get one of those new hot game systems" FUCK YOU CURRENT GEN I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOU UNTIL YOU DIE! (come bargain bin/clearance time though you may start to grow on me ;) )

[MrSparkle]

Curse you, Laws of Physics!!!

Wow your really lucky you ran into me, You see i just so happen to be a display professional. Given any collection and the dimensions it needs to fit in i can custom cater a display for you. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ivxF3tRVyBA/SJd4tF0xrcI/AAAAAAAABi0/SPCou-O_AV4/Car-Cube1.JPG observe another satisfied clients collection made to fit ;). (that collection consisted of over 6000 one of a kind prototypes but it had to fit in a closet, fear not that's what were here for!)

[otoko]

I have been fortunate so far, except it seems whenever someone sees my collection I get this from them "One day your going to sell your collection and are going to get a lot of money!"

[Rathiain]

I just started and I'm already getting crap about it, from my mom. I have 22 gamecube games, 7 n64 games and 5 n64s,1 genesis game and 5 snes games.

[theChad]

A friend of mine came over to my house one day just to hang out for a little while, and when we were in my bedroom, which is also my game display room, she looked around and said "This is why we could never date; your love of video games would get in the way." We're pretty good friends, so I know it was only in jest (I don't think we'd ever consider dating anyway) but I took it as both a compliment and an insult.

[modest9797]

I do not own a NES or a Genesis

[contra4life]

still have my genesis and sega cd, someone stole?!$%&* my saturn, but i think throughout time the worst addition has been Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde for the NES.

DAMN YOU Nintendo Power for making this piece of shit seem fun!

[contra4life]

Oh yeah i still have the master system converter and 32x somewhere as well...

[SegaAges]

Uh, does getting games because they are easy and then bragging about them later count?

I got Barney's Hide and Seek back when I used to be into naughty bad things, and wanted something that I could fly through. I bought the game solely because of how easy it was.
It is also like joy said back in 03 about it not meshing with the rest of the genny games. Blue spine??? WTF???

[Astrosmash]

Shaq-Fu (SNES)
Kris Kross: Make My Video (Sega CD)

Granted, I did buy them specifically for how bad they are (and in the case of the latter, for a bit of nostalgia for that brief period in 3rd grade where we all thought two rapping preteens with their clothes on backwards were cool), but I do have to live with the knowledge that I actually paid money for those.

Also, Ghostbusters (NES). I've heard rumors of some people actually enjoying it, but I always thought it was just awful.

[The 1 2 P]

It could be a number of titles.

For PS1

Incredible Hulk: incredible blob is more like it

The Crow: City of Angels--so if I'm an undead killing machine ho come these dudes keep knocking me down so easily?

For Xbox

The Guy Game: whats even more embarrasing is that I have two copies

[PentiumMMX]

Probably the worst insults towards my collection came from my sister (She stopped complaining about me liking older games since she discovered the Castlevania series). Whenever I'd get some games or systems at a garage sale, I'd have to hear her complain about me wasting my money on old games (Because she saw anything that wasn't modern as being worthless junk).

Item wise, my biggest insult would probably be my lack of a 32X. I have 2 games for it so far, though I still can't find a 32X at a reasonable price.

[FamicomFreak]

Ballz for the SNES...man it's like stepping into the landfill that the SNES had behind its ass! if it had one at all har har har!

[Vkmies]

2 things: paying 20.88 bucks for "Bart vs. the world" on the NES LOOSE.
Trading my Donkey Kong jr. Game and watch CIB for starfox,super tennis,super soccer and super mario kart.

[hellfire]

cyber speedway for sega saturn, its an ok game, it plays sort of like wipeout. The only problem I have with it is the voiceovers (a black guy noticeably voiced by a white guy, an alien voiced by an annoying girl!) the voices sound like they were voiced by a group of drunks! You just have to see it for yourself.

[sebastiankirchoff]

While most people respect my collection, I occasionally get people who comment "Why do you collect old games when you could get new games with better graphics" and "You should sell all those games to get lots of money". I then usually explain to them why I like classic gaming, but they will ignore me and go on about how much money I could make. Jerks.

I also hate it when people toss my games when they are digging through my collection. I always set stuff down carefully, and I always cringe when somebody just tosses a game onto a hard surface, or worse, onto other games. I like to take care of my games, not destroy them by tossing them.

[Sonicwolf]

every time i bring someone over and they look at it and claim i must have spent enough to buy a house.

I hate that. My friends act like I spend millions on games when in actuallity, I am very picky to what I pay for and how much. The most I spend on a classic game when found in thrift shops and such is 5 bucks.

[BetaWolf47]

My mom once said, "You gamers need to get lives." She normally doesn't even talk like that! WTF!

[sebastiankirchoff]

I just remembered another "insult".

When I used to live in Missouri and would invite people over to check out my collection, most of them would claim that I am rich, when really, I am relatively poor. Really though, I get most of my games dirt cheap and yet everyone thinks that I spent a fortune on them. I don't really know if thats an insult but it really irks me when people say that.

[Chemdawg]

so I was talking to a friend about how I found a game 2.99 worth around 100. He was like "well, it maybe worth 100, but are you really going to find someone to pay 100 for it, I mean who really collects video games?"... I was like umm.... "I do, and you know that..." oh sigh lol
