what are old games you are ashamed of?

not really video games you hate, more like video games that you used to enjoy when younger but now could not recommend to anyone.

Literally any of the Harry Potter games.

Perfect answer!

I am a bit ashamed of the Leisure Suit Larry, the humor has aged like milk. :frowning:

Although it was never my favorite of the series, I at least kinda liked Empire: Total War as a kid, and uh, well, it’s a conquer-stuff game set in the 1700s and not only can you play as the colonizers/enslavers, you can only play as them (and randomly one, but not both, of the native factions of India) without mods.

Flash porn games. They were so terrible, oh dear.

Pharoah. It was- weird. But not only was the UI relatively weird with how persistently it kept piling on notifs, but at some point, I achieved really good patience.

So now I feel weird playing a really annoying game til I came across an old review of the games.

i still like this one, but:

do i even need to say anything? do i have to bring up the creator? the countless broken promises over the years? the Amico game? the attempt at a new show that may or may not have just been a front for NFTs? it’s hard having “weird” tastes in games, it really is. i’m tired.

Leisure Suit Larry for me also. I was far too young to play those games but also aged out of them as soon as I turned 14 lol.

And in a sadder way The Never good, which was hugely influential on me but that’s another one where the creator turned out to be a dickbag so all those memories are staying locked in the vault.

Wouldn’t say I’m particularly ashamed of anything I’ve ever enjoyed, but there are definitely a lot of games that I’m not as fond of anymore as I used to be. For example, I still quite like a lot of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time but watching my girlfriend play it for the first time recently made me realize that a lot of its design no longer interests me very much. I do still quite like it atmospherically.

growing up the only version of street fighter 2 i had at home was the dos port and it’s so bad, instead of frames per seconds it was seconds per frame.

I used to play Xenophobe on NES a lot but it’s objectively the worst port.

I played a lot of Speedy Eggbert as a kid. It was my favorite 2D platformer despite owning a Super Nintendo and Super Mario World.

…Why?
