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.

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. 😄

It's not that Nintendo didn't understand that the backlight was necessary, it's because they wanted you to be forced to buy a system without it so they could later sell you a model with it, doubling hardware sales. They put out a backlit GameBoy Pocket in 1998 and they still pulled the same stunt with the GBC, GBA and DS. It's called creating demand, and yeah, it's shady.

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!

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.

#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.

Yeah I used to be a Sega Genesis loyalist in the 90's. I saved all the money I made delivering newspapers and working in my uncle's pizzeria to buy the Sega 32X. Not only did it suck, then they released a totally new system (Sega Saturn) the next year. I felt betrayed and ripped off by Sega, so I bought a Playstation and have been a Playstation guy ever since. Another big disappointment was The Nintendo Power Glove. My friends and I see it in The Wizard movie. All we talk about all summer is the power glove. Then my chinese friend gets it for Christmas and we all go to his house to play it. It hardly even worked, and was just stupid, and not fun to use. We were all so pissed.

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!

I still told my momma that I loved it and that I was happy. Deep down, I felt sick that I had squandered my mamma’s money and a rare chance to get a new game.

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....

My disappointed moments in gaming is from the last 10 years . 1. PS Home gets canceled 2. Madden 15 Mut gets its online support pulled 3. PS 4 games become hard to find 4. I haven't even sniffed a ps5 5. No New GTA game in last 9 years including the entire run for ps4 . 6. No new Elder Scrolls games in last 11 years ( other than online bull ) 7. Super Nintendo Minis pulled off of shelves because Nintendo wants You to buy a Switch 8. Nothing new from Nintendo in basically 20 years now 9. Nascar Heat games hit rock bottom . 10. I lost my internet Wi Fi home sercice ........so basically that cuts me off from any new games ( Walmart and Gamestop have been ran over by Amazon trucks . )

I too was (and still am) an Orlando Magic NBA Jam aficionado. There was nothing like draining threes from the top of the screen with Shaq in the arcade, and while I love all forms of the home NBA jam franchise, the missing Big Aristotle was a disappointing omission. Spot on!!

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.

According to it's programmer, the Pac-Man released is actually a prototype. Atari was so hyped to get this game out that they rush-released this. Ms. Pac-Man shows you how it could've been.

Atari Pac-Man was only a best seller because they made it the pack-in cart, personally I preferred Combat and wish that they'd have kept that as the pack-in cart since it was a great demo of what the system could do well and a damn fun game to boot!

My most disappointing moment was back in the 90s, Nintendo held a contest on one cartridge and the first person to beat it without cheating would be given a code. But if you cheated or beat it without reading all the way through, you lost. I got all the way through and finished and immediately turned the console off. I wonder how close I was because the game was insanely hard!

I'm totally with you on the Game Boy Color. I was so mad when I turned it on and it was still not backlit. I didnt care as much about battery life as I did performance and the Game Gear blew every 90s incarnation of Game Boy out of the water.

Dude, my little brother bought Myst, when we were both under 10 years old and that thing spent maybe 2 hours total in our Nintendo. We had no clue what to do. We thought the game was defective or something... sat in the bottom of a shoe box the rest of the time.

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.

The closest thing I can think of that's close to a disappointment is my trying of Pushmo when it was practically forced on my 3DS. It bored me almost to tears. I'm not even disappointed in my PlayStation Classic!
