OT: Game You Have But Never Play

I still have some of my old game cartridges for the Sega Genesis. The game console itself is broken. There's also several games I got for the Playstation 1. These work but some of them I have never played, or played only once or twice.

The reasons that I don't play these games is because of one or more of:
1. I started playing and quicky discovered that the game isn't very fun
2. The controls and features are complicated and difficult to use, and I didn't feel like spending a long time learning all the special button combinations, and practicing until I get used to it.
3. There's some other game that I like, that I would rather spend my time playing, so I always end up playing those instead.
4. A friend gave me the game as a birthday present or Christmas present, but it's not the genre that I like.
5. I started playing and at some point I got stuck at a difficult place that I couldn't get past. I tried several times and gave up.

I got another one to add to your list. Try having a kid. Spare time?? What spare time? If you're not running after him/her, you're trying to feed, bathe or trying to get the brat (oh, I mean that pure bundle of joy from heaven ) to go to bed. Then, at least in my case, after about 2 hours, he'll go to sleep, then you can concentrate on playing games. But by then, it's late, and I don't feel like going on the internet or inserting a game disk into the computer, so I just double click on my SEIVG launcher and play a game until I almost bash my head into my monitor when I start getting sleepy.
That's the main reason I don't play too many games. I used to love playing RPG's, but most of them take 100+ hours to play, and I just don't have that kind of time to try that right now. Thank goodness I can least surf the net at work in my spare time.
