Should be avoided at all costs, and no cost. If someone on the street offers it to you for free, run. Just run.

But what if someone paid me? Any suggestions for a minimum baseline I should be asking to compensate for the suffering I'll have to endure? enquiring minds what to know.

Considering I actually paid money for my copy($3 with shipping. I was still ripped off), I'd say any amount of money given to you would be better than my situation, but truthfully, $5 if you have other games to play.

If I was only allowed to play Pit-Fighter for the rest of my life for a certain amount of money, I'd ask for $1 billion, put it in the bank, live off the interest, and spend it on books and films. I'd also throw out my SNES, so I never have to actually play that crappy game.

Well, as a stupid 6 year old with no opinion of my own, I found Rugrats In Paris the Movie playable. I remember getting to the final boss, and never actually beating it for some reason.
If anyone wants to relive terrible moments of their childhood, I ended up with a copy of the PS1 version in a trade. :lol:
Rugrats in Paris? If It's a different Rugrats game I'd gladly take it off of your hands. I always like having more games around for the girls (my kids) to play. Subject them to the horrible stuff so that they'll come to appreciate the great.

I'd add to that I would make it my mission to find and destroy all remaining SNES's in existence to make sure one does not end up in my hands, forcing me to play it again. Yeah, I understand a lot of good games would go unplayed forever, but it's a small price to pay.

Is Pit Fighter worse than the first Street Fighter? I tried playing Street Fighter with Mame, it is so clunky. The improvement from Street Fighter to Street Fighter II is amazing.

If Street Fighter were made today, Street Fighter II (and the rest of the franchise - and possibly fighting games as we know them, for that matter) would have never existed. Aside from graphics, the game had pretty much nothing going for it. It's a miracle that a sequel was actually approved.
