When collecting, do you buy Terrible Games?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

I have to admit that I have an affinity for buying crappy video games based on '80s movies. I have Bill and Ted's excellent video game adventure, Back to the Future, the Karate Kid, and Gotcha for the NES. I can honestly say the Back to the Future part III for Sega Genesis is by far the worst game I own. It's absolutely unplayable. I keep these games around to remind me never to buy a new video game based on a current movie.

I completed back to the future part III with a friend last year, its much more fun when you're both suffering through it. XD

I gave Ultraman way more time than it deserved back in the day because it was one of the few SNES games I had access to play. Horrible controls.

If you want to play a giant robot game that is actually incredibly fun to play, but is still horribly cheezy due to hilariously bad voice acting and dialogue, I highly recommend you play R.A.D.: Robot Alchemic Drive. It's everything Ultraman should have been.

So did I! It was one of the few games that I had for the SNES, so my dad and I put a ton of time into it. I'm actually almost certain that we ended up beating the game, although I couldn't tell you what the end boss was like now.
