Gamer Regrets

[Sypress]

Trading in all my NES games (including Super C, Contra, and Bucky O'Hare) for store credit

Selling my Genesis including my beloved Sonic 3 and Knuckles for cheap

Letting a kid back in 4th grade borrow my copy of TMNT 3 Manhattan Project 3 weeks before summer vacation

I feel like a fukking dumb fukk for this one...


Not even sure why I fukking did it, since I generally don't even sell my games but...I sold my copy of Earthbound + guidebook to my friend for 30 bucks back in middle school/early HS

That's probably my biggest regret ever. Not because it became a rare game but cause it was a damn good game...granted there were other means to play it...but

I let a friend borrow Super Double Dragon on SNES and he let his cousin borrow it and he moved away.

I had a launch ps3 and i wanted to see spiderman 3 real bad, ain't have no money though. I sold my ps2 for like $18.50. Didn't even see the shyt in theaters, ended up bootlegging it.

sports, school, and bytches kept me from gaming like i wanted for years. ps1 and more than half of ps2's gen my shyts collected dust. played a few hours of dreamcast and to this day have never played a gamecube. I try to play some gems i missed out on but most feel dated as fukk. Before ps3 launch i got my priorities back in order, but i wish i made time to experience a lot of classics when they dropped...

2 controllers, budokai tenkaichi 2, a memory card. i coulda got more but i wanted to see the movie and ps3 was still backwards compatible so i was. my mom wouldn't take me to see the movie though .

Letting friends borrow my PS1 games only for them to come back with scratches and random stains. fukking animals.

Being too trusting/naive of people and having my games flat out stolen. (nikkas stole one of the disc for Rival Schools)

Getting fleeced on trade-in values of games. fukk you game stop/various stores.

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

giving up my N64 to cousins abroad it never arrived at it's intended destination still hadn't beaten Diddy kong racing on that

 

[SheriffOG]

Buying Twisted Metal Black: Online on PS2 and not until getting home I realised it was online ONLY and i needed that network connection cable for PS2 (That fukkING NOBODY HAD) to be able to play it

 

[Drones]

It's hard for me to say I regret trading so many of my games in, because that's what allowed me to play sa many games as I did. I kept all the boxes and manuals for my GBA games but I wish I still had the cartridges for Metroid Fusion, Megaman & Bass, Mario and Luigi, Donkey Kong Country Advance, and some of the others.

At the same time I'm grateful for the games I held onto. I still have Marvel vs Capcom 2 for Dreamcast, Pokemon Heart Gold complete in box, and a few other valuable ones that I never had to sell.
