15 games I loved as a kid but I should have hated

Most people who play games on a regular basis, have a few in their life that they think they should feel guilty about. Be it that movie tie-in that you couldn't stop playing, or Barbie: Horse adventures (Someone must have enjoyed that...), My childhood was full of these sorts of games. Ever since I first laid my hands on a controller, I've always been able to enjoy a game, no matter what game I've bought or borrowed from a friend, I've always had fun playing it. This list is for those games and also the games that I shouldn't really have liked because I found them so hard! (Hence a few quality games on this list).

List items

1. Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Now this is a bold game to put on this list you might say. Yes, I'll agree this is one of the best games of it's generation and was actually the first video game I remember playing. However, I found it to be incredibly hard, I can't remember ever getting past the 3rd zone I was that bad! but god damn did I keep trying, I never actually owned a mega drive but went to my cousin's house every Friday and I can tell you that that was my favourite day of the week when I was 8 or 9.

2. Heart of Darkness

The second game I ever owned. The controls were terrible, as were the graphics. The frame rate and animations during cut scenes were horrendous and it was hard as hell (for me at least), but I never stopped playing it. Never completed it without cheating but I still loved it.

3. Theme Park

Another quality game that I should have hated. I never had any idea what the hell I was doing, I thought the graphics were terrible, the music to be awful and there were little to no sound effects. I always felt so alone while playing it. I ended up just getting the infinite money cheat and messing around with roller coasters, spend many hours playing it, though now I look back and wonder what the hell I was on.

4. Small Soldiers

A terrible terrible third person shooter, with awful controls and camera. I also found it to be tougher than a nail made out of diamond, so I find it odd that I still look back on it with fond memory. I think I liked the idea that it was putting forward with the story. Not just a game to go with the movie story, but set in the universe of the gorganites and commandos, I don't think any other movie tie-in did something like that.
