Games I missed
The Dig: missed because was in school
Dragon Dice: missed because store didn't have a price clearly marked on it.
Microprose Magic the Gathering: missed because, I don't think I have ever seen it for sale anywhere
Braindead 13: haven't seen it for sale anywhere
Steven King's The Mist: wasn't looking for it when it came out and haven't seen it since
Bureaucracy: not sure if it is bundled in any collection, basically haven't seen it to get. it
SpellJammer or Pyst: never seen it anywhere
Treasure Quest: was turned off by the whole first to solve wins $1 million, like no sense buying if you can't be sure that your getting it at the earliest possible time, and probably be won by a group of people that disassemble the code or something. So haven't seen it since around when it came out. and would want it deeply discounted because clearly it is a really old game now, but also the winning the money was their main selling point, so now that is gone why spend big money on it.
P.S.
I almost missed Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, When I saw it in the stores, the title and the back of the box made me pass on the game. With the back of the box it shows screenshots, and one is of two guys standing outside a car, another screenshot shows a woman inside the car looking out. Well I don't know if it was marketing dept. intention but I was worried about the girl in the car. And that made it seem to me too creepy a game so i didn't give it a second look. I got it later by chance, and thought it was a great game. And the scene was completely different from what I thought it was on the back cover. But lacking the context of the game, I wonder if it was a marketing decision to try and fool people into thinking the game is way darker then it is.
