It’s true. A few redeemed themselves - some only thanks to Game Genie or a solid developer cheat code. Ecco the Dolphin was pretty fun with infinite lives.
Some I think I only learned to like through a kind of “my allowance is gone” Stockholm syndrome.
One game that always stands out in my mind is Victory Road on the NES. I was living in Germany at the time, so getting a game, any game, for my American NES was a big deal. My cousin in the States offered to mail a game he didn’t want any more to me, so I of course accepted. For weeks I anticipated getting it, and when it finally arrived…it sucked. I see why he didn’t want it any more. Still played and beat it!
