Most of my NES games. Actually, there's a lot of information available - an easy search gives me screenshots and reviews. It's hard to buy an unknown game...  |

It is sort of hard to have never heard about a game ever, unless it is obscure and stupid, so you would not buy it anyway. There will always be a comercial or a picture unless you live in a hole. For me..I did not know of Tokimeki Memorial (Japanese game sort of before your time..) very much, but I just knew that it existed. I did see it in a store one day and my sister said we should just get it. It is my favorite game series in the world now  |

| Advance wars, saw it in a store for 200 SEK. Thought "Why the hell not?" and bought it. Even if I didn't know about the game apart from it being a turn-based strategy. The game turned out to be great when I came home. Next to Civilization it's my favorite turnbased strategy series now. Bought AW2 only three months later.  |

| Halo. I was out of it for a while with videogames at that point, and I bent over at the Blockbuster and looked at this weird robot on the cover of an ugly ass green case. You see, my parents were renting a system for me to celebrate a coming of age ceremony in my family. Which I passed. I saw this game, and I was like HOLEE FUK. And then, I bought the X-Box and the system, because Halo was a great game. Then I did that for Morrowind and the Megaman Anniversary Collection when I saw it released for X-Box. Because I didn't even KNOW about the first one and the second one I thought was PS2/GC only. I also got most of my GBA games that way. |

| Most of my NES and SNES games because, well, I was young and stupid but always ended up loving my games. But ever since I was concious of my decisions, I'd say the best unknown games I've gotten were, Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears, Brave Fencer Musashi, RE, RE2, and RE3 (all three bought for 5 bucks a pop from my bro's friend), and Final Fantasy 6. Interesting thing about FF6, because of that game, I bought a PlayStation three months before FF7 came out so that I could buy that game, and I bought just about every magazine with anything FF7 and when I finaly got the game I played through the first five hours over and over until about a month passed and I finally had the cash to buy a memory card and really play the game. I guess that's a case of the exact opposite of the topic, but I think it's funny, so I post. | |||

| Donkey Kong '94 for the good old Gameboy, I believe. Basically, 8-year-old foolish me told the clerk I wanted a game, and he said DK'94 was good. So I bought it. When checking out the manual in the car on the way home, I was shocked to discover that Mario was the main character. Yeah, i know he was on the box, but I didn't see him. A year or so later, I recieved another shock when I bought Donkey Kong Land and discovered that the evil DK was the hero this time. I guess Mega Man V falls under this category as well, as I hadn't heard of the game, but I had played MM4 for about 10 minutes, and read "guides" on MM2 and MM3 in a book I had found at the library, so I knida knew what Mega Man was all about. Besides, I was trading in a game I bought the day before because it sucked (Tintin in Tibet, which indeed WAS a horrible game), and didn't have that many games to choose between. |

I generally research games before I buy them unless I come across them for a low price and therefore wouldn't be cranky if I wound up wasting money on a piece of crap. I think the last thing we bought on impulse was Katamari Damacy. Rando saw it and thought it looked amusing, so he got it, and it wound up being one of my favorite games.  |

| I haven't bought an unresearched game since the SNES days. Having said that... oh boy... probably something along the lines of Final Fantasy Legend 2 or Milon's Secret Castle (GB). Talk about a stretch thinking of one. :\ |

| Fallout 2 in January 1999, best damn impulsive buy ever. RPG at its best, and made me realize how restrictive and underdeveloped its japanese counterpart is. The few enlightened who actually have this game pretty much agree. Emperor: Battle for Dune was pretty good too. |

| Uh... well, I didn't buy many games before the N64... and when I got my Playstation (a few years later) I started researching them more, so... 1080 Snowboarding for the N64 was probably the only good one I bought with no information at all - save for a short test play in Wal-Mart on the TV placed so high it'll make your neck hurt looking at it.

| My most recent game that falls into this category would probably be Custom Robo. I just got it two days ago. I saw the game in the games case at Zellers while looking at the DS and GBA games, and went back later that night with money to get it. Obviously, I don't regret getting it either. I beat the first story mode today, so now I'm going to "Grand Battle" or whatever it was called I like it even better after registering it on Nintendo's site and finding out that they're sending me a limited edition poster of some sort Now, as for the game that I pretty much decided to get out of the blue that stands out the most, would be Tales of Symphonia. I looked at it on Walmart's site, and thought the game would be rather dumb, mostly because of how the cover looked. I went up to the mall after getting done volunteering that day, and got the last copy of it. I do not resent getting it one bit at all. It's my favorite game of the 14 I have for Gamecube. I haven't bought too many researched games lately, and I've only purchased one I don't like. Spyro: A Hero's Tail. I was expecting something like the games for Playstation, but I'm dissapointed with it, to say the least. I read that there was no longer a total gem count to reach in a GameFAQs review, and that much I was ready for. I haven't played too much of the game yet, but as far as I can tell, there are no individual levels. Everything's just combined into one large area, divided into multple parts (please tell me I'm wrong). Spryo looks bad as well. I can't really place what it is, but he looks different than on the Playstation versions  (edited by Karadur on 06-29-05 02:50 PM) |

Thank you, JDavis, for not making me look like a freak.  I probably have made an impulse game buy somewhere along the line that was good, I just can't remember what the heck it was... (edited by Jarukoth on 06-29-05 06:29 PM) |

| Ooh, if we're talking about PC games... :\ Hm. Might be along the lines of Diablo II. Then again, I purchase PC games once in a blue moon to begin with. |
