    I have had the displeasure of playing the two worst video game of all time. E.T. The Extra-Terestrial and Custers Revenge. Both were Atari games released in 1982.

    7-yo me hated the original Ghostbusters game on NES. So much so that I devised a plan to get my birthday money back.

    Toys R Us would only refund unopened games, but you could get an even exchange if a game was ‘defective’. So I made up some mumbo jumbo about how something didn’t work in the game, and my mom got it swapped for me (she was nervous for some reason). Took the unopened game to a different Toys R Us location and got my money back. I felt like a criminal mastermind.

    I can’t really remember what I didn’t like about the game…probably I had a certain expectation as a big Ghostbusters fan that no NES game could meet.

    Nobody should answer “Monopoly” because it’s intended to be un-fun, as an object lesson in why monopolies are bad.

        Appropriately, the “house rules” that keep the game going longer and make it “more fair” is actually just socialism

      Monopoly is not intended to be un-fun, it’s intended to be unfair, which is different. People find it un-fun because they changed the rules to make it less unfair, but if you play the game by the rules it’s not bad, but the winner gets picked at random very early in the game, and there’s nothing you can do about it, which would be bad for a long game, but Monopoly is meant to be very short if you play by the rules.
