I saw this question over on Kotaku and I thought it was great and wanted to post it here.  ^_^

What’s the worst game gift (or game related gift) you’ve ever got?

I’ve made it a habit to make sure that if someone is planning on getting me a game gift they have names of quality games.  So often people that don’t play games have no clue on what to buy and so they just go with the box art… bad, bad, bad.  My step brother suffered this fate every birthday and Christmas with his GameBoy until I broke down and bought him Ninja Gaiden for GB.

As for me.  The worst would have to be Dick Tracey for NES that my Mom bought me.  Although it was a used game so at least she wasn’t paying full price for it and I learned to love it.  Oh, I also got Qix got GameBoy too one Christmas.  Not really bad, but not great either.  Gals Panic has it way over Qix I tell ya ^_^
