They Have A Game With Rob Snieder Rob Snieder How Couldnt It Sell

[Snoop916]

[Canty]

I wish more people would buy Psychonauts.:banghead:

[rand0m]

Someone's getting nostalgic.

I bought the sega cd when it came out. What a piece of shit. I sold it and my sega genesis (which i regret) along with all my games for it for Tekken 3 lol.

Meh, it wasn't THAT good of a game anyways. Just a very frustrating platformer with an interesting concept.

[ColdWaXX]

Psychonauts was an awesome game. I would've bought it but I thought it was too short.
BTW does anyone remember the N-Gage? It was cool for like 15 min.

Huh? They've only just stopped producing them, what's difficult to remember about a product you can still buy new? There was 1 good game: Pathway to Glory. Side talking and shit on the 1st gen didn't help it sell eh?

You know whats the great thing about wikipedia is you can add thingon so go ahead and correct the page.

E.t....lol!!!!!!!!

They're soon add the PS3 in that list of Gaming Blunders, since with their price point and all

[TJIZZLES]

They forgot Superman 64, quite possibly the worst game of all time.

Oh man, I remember Nintendo's Virtual Boy. There was this one piloting game that I was addicted to, whenever I would go to Wal-Mart and have a chance to play. But that shit caused neck strain because you had to position your head awkwardly to see inside the viewfinder.

Quite possible. Did you notice that a lot of the systems on the list that flopped were all really expensive? It just seems like a recipe for disaster. However, Sony does have a lot more going for them than the other systems that have flopped in the past.

[Just Spurplin]

Fable should of been on that list. It wouldnt have been so bad if they didnt hype it to be the most realistic, everything you do has a consequence, super best RPG ever made.

[crazyjames1233]

haha
i bought a game com back in like 2000 for like 10 bucks, i had duke nukem and batman for it, both went at all as fun as many of the games i played on game boy.

Probably Red Alarm, not a bad game, it is kind of like StarFox on the SNES but wireframe and all red. The system could have been a whole lot better though, if you find a way to get comfortable and don't mind the color red it can be pretty fun.

[Mr.SelfDestruct]

WTF!?!??! No Superman 64!?

Just saw that. No kidding. Crappiest game ever.

I have high hopes for Superman Returns (name?). Looks incredible.

My mate worked on that.... hope your hopes aren't too high.

[BBBoomer99]

Damn, nice find. But why the fuck is Grabbed by ther Ghoulies on there? That game is mind blowing. And the Dreamcast pissed me off. I got it for my birthday then like a month later they decided no more games. But SHENMUE was a brilliant game, I have the sequal for it on Xbox and it should be on that god damn list.

[The_Canadian]

I thought ET was pretty good... :squint:

[elliott678]

It is good, anyone that says otherwise has never played it or hasn't seen 80% of the 2600's game library.

Shit, the NeoGeo wasn't on the list and it was 700 bucks back when the regular nintendo was out, and the games were like 80 bucks or something.

Not all. The Dreamcast was the cheapest console (when adjusted for inflation) of all time.

[soso0901]

^^^Oh, I know, systems can fail even if they're cheap. The virtual boy was $180 when it was launched and it flopped really bad.

[[H]]

ahahah a lot of wrestling bombs ahhaha

[subin]

Pyschonauts is an awsome game

[IGN_IS_BETTER]

Psychonauts is an awesome game.
