Tyler, saw 2 different Rygar runs back to back done by the same guy during a GamesDoneQuick marathon. Your run was good but, this guy had key strats i think you could use to up your game QUITE A BIT. Dude's name was DarkWindDuck or something like that.

[@wreckitralph4714]

What i used to do if it was a real bad game I'd bring it back and say it didn't work. They would give me a new rental But you wouldn't want to do that too often.

[@Martyballin]

I still have PTSD from failed game rentals as a kid. Your whole weekend was riding on that selection.

[@robd6837]

I don't know if I go as far as PTSD, but, the one game that no matter how many times my best friend in myself rented it, denied us a victory, was Ninja Gaiden on NES. I had to be almost 24 years old and, by then I had purchased it, before I finally beat it.

[@miaouew]

My mom would let me pick again if we took home a shitty game.

[@TheZekeZeke1]

YES!!!! Nothing could fuck your wkend up like a bad game rental...lol

[@Genos2600]

Yeah bro, that was the wrost!

[@Joker-qr5se]

Lol...that's facts

[@mattc.8839]

Biggest disappointment for me was renting "Back to the Future" on NES. I loved that movie and was so excited to play a video game about it. We didn't have a lot of money so renting was pretty much my only way to play new games. After a weekend of trying and trying to get anywhere in the game...I got to the diner stage (which is practically the beginning)...and died before I even knew what was happening. I didn't even know what I was supposed to do because there were no instructions. I was so mad that I got in trouble for yelling at the TV and upsetting my younger sister lol. Years later I saw AVGN review that game and I got angry all over again. Great video as always.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks again Matt! I got duped by that game too back in the day lol. It does suck horrendously.

[@moviemetalhead]

At least Tell Tale games redeemed Back to the Future as a video game.

[@freddyvidz]

Me too, my friend, me too

[@DavidWonn]

A friend of mine showed me a game that was so bad that I was begging to play Back to the Future. It was called Dragon Power. I have nothing good to say about that game.

[@PB-gh8iq]

Glad I wasn't the only one who lived through that diner scene

[@zeldahatguy8607]

Two words: Power Glove. I saved up my allowance for weeks to buy this thing, later that week the shop that sold it to me went out of business, it was so bad my mom felt sorry for me and gave me the value of it back.

[@alexdanke133]

But it’s rad!

[@JesGolbez]

Oh, god, yes... the Power Glove basically did nothing. I felt rather ripped-off, and it just turned into an expensive prop

[@Krystalmyth]

Wow you know something was wack when your mom refunds you money you never paid her in the first place. Man, the power glove. So bad.

[@JosephDVines]

😂 😂 😂

[@SegaDream131]

Believe it or not, the power glove can do amazing things(air instruments), just not with your nintendo games.....

[@BaneMcDeath]

Back in 95’ on a military base I knew a guy who had the game gear tv tuner. He jacked the cable tv line into it and BAM! We had cable tv on a late night desk watch at hq. So it did work but I guess you need to tinker a whole lot.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Most impressive. I would have loved to have seen that.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks so much man and I am glad you are here at the channel! I try to make good quality videos for you to enjoy with authentic personal experiences I've had with gaming so it is very rewarding to hear comments like yours. I already know what I am gonna do for my next secrets revealed video but it may take a few weeks cause it is a daunting game lol. I appreciate your patience lol.

[@lexlogic2169]

Been a while since I played Myst, but I remember both brothers warning you not to open the third book, which I found suspicious enough to investigate just because neither of those dudes seemed trustworthy.

[@justinnardine8564]

It was so hard to tell back then cause sometimes the box looked amazing but then the game blew or it didn’t have a manual

[@hatednyc]

*How AWESOME is this friggin Channel?!*

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks man!

[@robertmcmillan3638]

Rise of the Robots was a Big letdown. The developers must have forgot to stick an actual game in there before they released it. It didn't even look that good either.

[@DeathMetalDerf]

When the original Tetris came out for the NES I was about 6 years old, and I had absolutely NO IDEA that Tetris and Arkanoid WERE NOT the same game. In the advertisements for this "new" game I've never heard of, and totally mistook it for something similar to Arkanoid, and that's all I wanted for Christmas that year. Well, I got it, opened it up, and found out real quick that they are NOT in fact the same games in any way! I'm a new sub to the channel, and I really am enjoying your work! We seem to be of a similar age, so watching your videos is a real trip down memory lane, and we share A LOT of disappointing moments in retro gaming history! Keep up the great work, and thanks for the memories!!!

[@homerhat420]

Really appreciate how thoughtful your lists are. Brings me back to the glory days lol

[@bjnt922]

My biggest disappointment in retro gaming was the Game Gear. I already had a Game Boy at the time which I enjoyed greatly. But the lack of color and backlit screen as you mentioned made me wonder what I would be like to have a Game Gear. So it took a lot of begging and pleading with my parents but I finally got on for Christmas of 1994. It came with Sonic 2 and I was greatly satisfied that I could play portable games without having to be under a lamp. What I didn’t realize though and probably the reason why Nintendo didn’t make the original Game Boy with a colored and backlit screen is how much it drained batteries. I kid you not I had to go through at least five sets of batteries within the first two weeks of owning the Game Gear. And yeah I know there was a battery pack for it. But at that point I was so frustrated and disappointed that I actually apologized to my mom and dad for begging them to get it for me in the first place. 😄

[@sgtlegacy7]

Truly enjoyed the video, brought back memories playing games with my old man as well.

[@voorheesretro8129]

The model 1 Gameboy Advance hands down. Brilliant games, fantastic ergonomics, but a screen that's so dark it makes Mario look like an Undertaker Funko Pop. I really didn't discover how great the library for the Advance was until a year later when I picked up a used DS Lite. I think growing up in the 80s, and with a C64, the licensed titles were often the most disappointing. The C64 versions would often be rushed to release in time with the movie or show they were tied in to so you got things like the C64 version of Robocop, which to this day I have mad nostalgia for, but you can't complete without a cheat code because you can't finish the drug factory level thanks to a game breaking glitch. Good job Ocean. Solid effort. I mean I can't beat Robocop on the Gameboy either, but at least that's because I suck, not because it's inherently unfinishable.

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

Atari 2600 Pac-Man was my first experience with the game and I greatly enjoyed it. I always perceived arcade games as a special treat rather than seeing the console versions as inferior. It's funny how much perception affects enjoyment. I also used to think Michael Jordan was omitted from NBA Jam so it wouldn't be too unfair. LOL

[@chrisd6287]

As soon as I saw Mario is Missing on the thumbnail I was enraged. Much like you I saw the box art and I thought it was like SMW for the SNES but unlike you I didn't rent it, that was the game I chose for my 9th birthday and boy was I upset. Great video man! Ohhhh and Letssss Goooooo!

[@frankiegee6135]

Man Game Gear was sweet! I think the original Sega Genesis was the most quality system and games during that time. Really great stereo sound too that nes lacked.

[@kirkericson2722]

I had the same experience with Mario is Missing. I saw this at blockbuster and was shocked to find a Mario game I didn't even know existed. Got it home and was so mad that it was an educational game! I wanted the game gear tuner so bad, I'm glad to hear it didn't work. Also, my game gear was black, but in video game magazines at the time, you could order a white version. I would have killed to have one of those.....

[@RootedInReality]

I had the Game Gear TV tuner and it worked 60 miles as the crow flies from the nearest TV station. You must have gotten a dud, because mine worked great and I loved it. I lived in the middle of the country a long way from any big city. The Game Gear TV tuner was awesome!

[@BIGSHOWxbox]

The TV Tuner for the SEGA Game Gear worked 100% for me. In fact, my brother used to get pissed at me for taking his Game Gear all the time so I could watch what I wanted to on TV.

[@markm4033]

44 developers of those lousy products disliked this video, lol. Great video as usual man. This is back in 2018, and my first time watching this video. I remember renting Clu Clu Land to a great disappointment lol wasn't very fun. And yes, the Game Boy Advance SP was cool with the front light. I didn't know they had another SP model with a back light. I have two now. :)

[@thebasketballhistorian3291]

NBA Jam home versions were missing the 3 most popular players at the time: Jordan, Shaq, and Barkley. But it made sense the most popular players had their own video games and likeness licensed already. At least David Robinson was in NBA Jam despite being in his own Genesis game.

[@hungerforhorror]

The Lynx came out before Game Gear and Game Boy. I love it and still play with it often. The games are great too.

[@michaelsegal3558]

Hunger for Horror I also love my model 2 Atari Lynx I used to have a model 1 but now I have a model 2 Lynx

[@Joker-qr5se]

No the Lynx did not come out before the Gameboy. It came out after but is the 1st color portable. Yeah it is pretty decent but I still got a Game Gear and Gameboy before I got it. FYI I am in America so perhaps I am wrong if you are from another country

I had a Sega CD growing up, but my parents swerved through the good games and instead got a bunch of those crappy FMV games like Sewer Shark. I did have Sonic CD, but that was it.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

I love sonic CD and the cheesy FMV games lol. I love the cinematic part of it but I can see where it would annoy people too.

As a kid, I knew the activator, uforce, even the power glove weren't gonna work. I stayed clear of even thinking about purchasing those items. It was to good to be true.

[@GordonComstock602]

I remember buying Battletoads for Genesis, thinking it was a new Battletoads, and not a port of the NES game I'd already played to death. I was too young to know any better.

[@edr777]

Great video! I'm sorry that you got ripped off by the U-Force, I remember seeing the ads for it but I didn't believe it would really work and decided against it. However, I do remember very clearly when Pac-Man came out for the 2600. We pre-ordered it and I went to the store with my mom to pick it up. It was $38 which was quite a bit of money back then. My mom hesitated on the price and asked the clerk if it was like the arcade and he assured her it was. I was about 6 and I remember looking up at the guy and I knew he was lying. We got home and were quite shocked when we saw how crappy it looked. My best friend called and his entire family was angry...his mom went back to the store and yelled at them until they refunded their money. I remember my dad coming home from work and he took one look at the game and said "what the heck is this? Did they forget to finish programming it?". My parents were both really upset and as kids my siblings and I were all upset. We barely played the game and Atari surely took us for a ride. Oh well, live and learn I guess!

I had a 32x too. Simular note i loved my Turbographix16 but i still dont know what the turbo booster add on for it actually did

More like Contra FARCE. That was a huge disappointment but, apparently they paid a bunch of people to say it was good. I dont know what game they were playing

[@shenloken2]

Mario Is Missing hits home for me. I rented it one night based on the box art on the back. I got conned. You really summed up that experience being tricked into renting this turd nicely.

[@FelixAdler]

I think mine was either playing Taboo: The sixth sense, or renting Rise of the Robots

[@craigroberts2302]

Subscribed. This content was good. I loved the Sega CD. And I love the 32x for the Star Wars game.

[@GardevoirBoy]

If I remember correctly, Mario is Missing was Daisy's secret video game appearance. It was well defined in the SNES port even though the coloring of Daisy was the same as the title screen of NES Tournament Golf.

[@bobbyunavailable]

Mario is Missing, I fell for that one. Your description of it being click bait, 1993 style is spot-on!

[@RayRayZ28]

Game rentals need to be #1, those were constant and left me sooooo pissed. Biggest disappointment at a rental store was The Uncanny X-Men. What an 8-bit turd!!!

[@RobberStormfire]

My most devastating moment - it was the day after Christmas, maybe 1987/1988. I had returned something to Kay-B Toys, and I saw this gorgeous box art for Deadly Towers from behind the counter. I bought it right away, sight unseen. Got it home and the game was utter crap. Confusing mazes, the most blocky, chunky, plodding character imaginable, etc. I just envisioned that this game was going to be the most amazing RPG ever (yeah I'm one of those "RPG Guys" :-)). I did finish this game on my own by discovering some things completely by accident a couple of years later though. Honorable mention for Atari 2600 pac-man. I too loved the Arcade Pac-Man and when I powered this on the disappointment was painful. The ghosts weren't even different colors!

[@PhilLeotardosGhost]

Double Dragon 3 in the arcade really pissed me off. It changed the format and graphics of the first two side scrolling gems of DD 1 & DD2. MOST DISPLEASING.

[@zooropa04]

Oh man, the Sirrus/Achenar thing genuinely disturbed me when I was playing Myst as a middle schooler. I too eventually made use of the strategy guide and then felt incredibly dumb for not figuring out that ending myself....

The TV Tuner worked fine. You were either in a bad area, or did not have strong TV signals nearby. A buddy of mine had the GG and TV Tuner; I had a Gameboy. After school, we would trade and play the other's console. One time, I tried the TV Tuner and watched the Jetsons. It came in perfectly.

I was VERY surprised to see you and I have the same #1 disappointment. I think it may have actually been the greatest disappointment of my childhood. Christmas 1993 when I was seven years old getting the activator...man, I had dreams about that thing! I had a popcorn stucco ceiling, so we tried hanging a white bedsheet up there to reflect the beams. Let's just say the sheet stayed up there longer than the activator stayed out of the junk closet.

[@NoctemOUT]

Mine is related to one of your picks but has extra disappointment attached- I asked for an NES Advantage joystick and my dad found that they didn't have any at the store he went to, but the guy there apparently said "hey, we have this other new controller you might like instead." And so, my dad came home with the U-Force. Didn't take long before he took it back for a refund.

[@underwaterlevelz1947]

good video, but i have to disagree with Metroid II. Metroid II didn't need a map because the area you were exploring would let you know you had eliminated all the Metroids in that area by simulating an earthquake, and the main cavern area would drain some lava. Also, if Metroid II DID have a map, the game would be disappointingly simple.

We ripped it out and put the old go-to in, with that being Contra, and playing that for the rest of the night. That was the first time we beat the game without the code.

[@mr.pavone9719]

#3: I had that but I loved it. The TV tuner worked OK at best, but I wasn't a kid when I got it so my expectations weren't as high. I ended up using it as a monitor for camerawork in one of my production classes. The instructor was impressed with how well I composed my shots. Also, just cuz you're near a TV station doesn't mean you're near the transmitter. The tower and transmitter for my local TV station was about 20 miles away from the city so they could reach over the nearby mountains and serve the rest of the county.

I remember buying that helmet that had a microphone supposedly with the ability to voice camand your Nintendo games. It did little more than activate a action button when it picked up on sounds

I remember playing Myst back in the early 90’s, I got stuck after 2 hours and turned it off lol....My biggest disappointment in gaming was playing any game on the N Gage, I bought it on release and was blown away by all the features. Sadly gaming on it was horrible, I tried to play Sonic and Red Faction on it and was confused to why the graphics where so weak. Once again you’ve outdone yourself with this video, please don’t stop working hard and I’m hoping to see a ton of content from you in 2019

Dude I never had an Ngage but I have heard nothing but horror stories lol. Having a sonic game on there did get me intrigued but I never pulled the trigger.

I remember playing Myst. I never finished playing it though. I remember trying to get the NES robot as a kid. It was always sold out. One day I saw one, but my mom didn’t want to buy it for me. I guess I lucked out as there were only two titles that worked with the robot.

Did you know that an American Dad episode stole the plot to Mario is Missing? It's one of the episodes where they spoof James Bond and the schools principal runs a bunch of hair dryers to melt the ice caps.

Don't forget about the N64 expansion pack!!! I never noticed a difference in the games after I bought it!!

[@xenxander]

it was needed for some games honestly... and for a very tiny select few, it broke..as in if you had it installed you could no longer play them, but they were such obscure titles no one cared. But for those games it wasn't needed for (most of them) t did nothing because no programmer ever added code into their games that would trigger if it detected more ram.

Hot digity dog!!! I’m a 1982 baby to. We did get the best of gaming. I’m still a fan of table arcade cabs. My grandma took me to get pizza and gave me 5 bucks to play games. I miss when 5 bucks lasted forever.

the moment you upgrade your commodore 64 to IBM to realize you need a whole desk for the cpu and you can't use your color tv, instead you need to buy a monochrome (orange black or green black) IBM screen...

Oh man I remember some doozies from back in the day! The problem was when box art looked amazing but the game was nothing like it!!

[@saviorself1164]

That is no lie. I was tricked by box art all the time as a kid, especially in the 2600 days. Atleast by middle of the NES lifespan, we had Nintendo Power to help protect us from box art deception but, even then some duds would sneak through
