Ah, Q's post reminded me of when I bought Theme Park on SNES and made an angry type face for the same reason, no battery backup. I mean come on guys, it's a game about building your own theme parks all over the bloody world and you're going to do away with the PC's save game feature and put in a PASSWORD system that merely records how much money you have? Everytime you turned it off you'd have to rebuild your parks, and sometimes those took
hours.
Oh but no, that's not even the worst part! The passwords were as long as a line for seats to sit down on to relax from all the standing around and the games font was a disaster, so these huge passwords would often be written down WRONG, or you'd make one mistake and it'd wipe the whole thing out.

I bought this for seven bucks back in what, 2001 and still regret it. I COULDN'T push myself to play past the first level, it was just such a depressing trainwreck knowing this heap of garbage is what killed the series.

Flipped upside down! I loved the original for its really, REALLY big dumb mindless fun. Being able to blow apart the environment, while a standard thing in games now, was pretty cool. The sequel though, Gungrave Overdose was something I wish I didn't purchase. Making virtually every level a dull, generic warehouse full of crates isn't very amusing at all. I didn't even bother finishing it.
The worst however, would be Sonic Heroes. Mostly because I went through hell trying to obtain a copy on launch day, Atari Australia distributed it, and the GameCube version was SO HARD TO FIND. I ended up getting what must have been the only copy in all of friggin' Sydney, paid a whopping hundred bucks. Got home, really looking forward to the game after the positive reviews and being let down so badly by Sonic Adventure 2.. and what do I get?
SALTY, BITTER TEARS
I won't even bother typing up a long paragraph of my hatred towards the game, but it's probably the worst thing I've ever bought. I didn't return it either, it just sits there, like an eternal warning to be ultra careful of anything Sonic Team ever does again.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
