    Default Games You're Embarrassed To Tell People You Own

    I don't know if we ever did this, but does anybody here have games in their collection they'd be embarrassed to show people?

    The reason I asked is that I finally decided to try out my copy of N'Sync: Get to the Show for Game Boy Color tonight. The game consists of simple mini-games that wouldn't tax the brain power of an N'Sync fan. Oddly, there's a decent Burgertime clone where you try to drop toppings and the letters that form the word N'Sync. It's worth it just to see Joey Fatone say, "Tight work!"

    I hope you guys detected the rampant sarcasm in that last sentence...
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

    I own Barbie , Barney, Troll Islands, and Sesame Street games.

    It doesn't get much worse than that.

    Stunt Race FX for the Super Nintendo... I hate that game intensely. You play as cars with faces on the front of them. But, the FX graphics used make the framerate 1 frame every race (a little sarcasm)... You'll be driving along the track and all of a sudden a dolphin (or something like that) flies over your head. It gets really annoying, as this happens in every race (sometimes a plane, etc...). I just really hate this game, but if you are a person who must beat every game you know of, it'll only take about 20 minutes to beat the entire game. Its a bad name for a game "Stunt Race FX", as the Stunt mode is just going of jumps collecting yellow and pink diamonds. I'm so embarrassed about owning this game that I don't know why I even bothered posting this.

    Stay away from this game if you have the chance, or even if you don't have the chance!!!

    for myself, it would have to be Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for the genny.
    But I gotta say, I freakin love this game, and on the Hard difficulty it's quite a challenge without being insanely unfair to tax my skills when I wish. Any game that has an accurate and actually usuable Difficulty adjuster gets bonus point in my book. I hate it when Easy is TOO easy, Normal is normal and Hard is so cheap that you can't do squat, like they do with most games, BUT that a horse of another color, backto the subject...
    Yeah, as you may know, you play michael jackson and you go around finding kids who are doing their best to hide away from you... tsk tsk... and when you run out of magic you just grab at your nuts in frustration...
    If I seen this game now a days I'd think somebody made it just to feed all the rumors and oddities surrounding his life, but the fact that HE made it himself? makes me wonder even more....

    I will admit, in the 80's Michael had a cool voice, and a knack for writing hit songs, but.... he's just become a very very creepy odd human being...
    but there's no denying this is a fun game... to me at least...

    PS, anybody got a copy of this for the SMS they wanna part with?

    After they pick their jaw off the floor when they see my NES collection, the last thing they look at is my Sesame street and fisher price games.


    I should be embarresed about my R rated games, but every single person wants to play them, so I guess their cool.

    Mcdonald's Treasureland Adventure for the genesis. Found it in the bargain bin at Microplay, looked at the back and said to myself "hey if Treasure made it, it can't be that bad."

    It was.

    It's late, my vision is blurry and I thought you wrote "Richard Simmons Scary Town" or something to that effect that WOULD be scary

    My parents thought I was crazy when I bought Duck Hunt at a game store for $2. but that game is cool I also own "Spot the video game" but that is cool too

    hmm I'm not ashamed of anything in my game collection, well except maybe my Pokemon games but they are kinda fun.

    As mentioned before, the Sesame Street games. And to think I actually played them for a little while, just to write reviews on them for my website.

    I'm also a little leary about mentioning Honey Peach to some of my really religious friends.
