I posted this thread over in the 360 forum but realized it appeals more to the classic crowd. I remember being at a friends house around Christmas when he asked his mom if he could have Southpark 64 early and we played it for about 30 minutes and tossed it aside. He then asked to have Turok 64 and we did the EXACT same thing and went back to playing Bond. Was just wondering what other games you all might have received that were 1 and done, as in one play and you tossed it aside.

I can't remember much from the past, but most recently i got Blue Dragon as a gift along with like 5 other games, i played Blue Dragon for 20 minutes and haven't played since. I plan to go back and beat it one day though.

I also have a ton of games that i've never played, just bought them to ad to my collection and haven't got around to playing them.

Monopoly Tycoon for the PC. Played one game that maybe lasted 45 minutes, realized I didn't understand it and gave up- I'll go back to it one day.

I couldn't even list the games I've purchased and played for 30 minutes or less, but alas, I might as well try...

Final Fantasy Origins

Final Fantasy Chronicles (perhaps I've actually played this for about an hour...)

Final Fantasy Anthology (still sealed, even)

Brave Fencer Musashi

Parasite Eve 2

Frontier Saga

Unlimited Saga

Fear Effect

Star Ocean Second Story

Resident Evil: Director's Cut

Silent Hill 1

Metal Gear Solid (GBC)

Knights of the Old Republic

Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil: Outbreak

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Mass Effect

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (traded it to a friend)

Tactics Orge (traded it to a friend)

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (GBA)(...not sure what happened to it or my GBA)

Far Cry (PC)

Oblivion (PC)(I got it for 360 because my PC couldn't run it, although I still have the PC version as well)

Edit: I got most of these for collection purposes, although I intend to play all of them eventually.

Wow is this a case of to many games too little time or just didn't like the games when you started playing them?

I splurged most of my $300 of Christmas money on my game collection. I acquired probably 90% or more of these games within one week. And I actually remembered games that I didn't list, although I see no need to make such a long list even longer.

Bram Stoker's Dracula for the SNES. Check out my review for why. It's the most brown, least vampire related game ever.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero for the PS1. Got it for Christmas but it was incredibly hard for me at the time. I may be better at now, I don't know but I don't even have the game anymore anyways.

Jet Moto 1 and 3. Both boring, Jet moto 1 being hard and boring, and Jet Moto 3 being incredibly easy and boring.

Mortal Kombat Armageddon. I love Mortal Kombat, but that game was a load of crap.

Capcom Classic Collection. The only good games there were the Street Fighter 2 variations, and they weren't even arcade perfect.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. I played it from about 30 minutes to an hour expecting it to get better but it never did. Just the same boring crap over and over again.

Metroid Prime. I played it for about an hour and quit. All the backtracking and crap like that bored me to tears. What sucks is that I bought both of these games together expecting at least one of them to be fun.

Ive bought a lot of games that i havent played, but not so many games that i played and gave up on. The only one i can think of is Tales of the Abyss. i just didnt like it very much, i loved the song at the beginning though. And i didnt like the main characters attitude or voice, he was annoying.

You tossed Turok aside? That's cold.

Hmmmmmm, let's see...can't think of one game. I was one poor kid growing up, so I never took a game for granted. Hey, what makes you stronger doesn't kill you right?

Final Fantasy 12.

How can you like this? It's incredibly boring, the characters are about as interesting as watching paint dry, the combat just feels awkward, and the story...Don't get me started.
