I was just looking at my game list on here and of course over the years I have bought only the games that I truly loved or at least thought I did... With that said, I would put SWEP1 at the bottom of the games that I have owned list. Not sure I would call it a regret but it would be last on my list of games I have owned or at least to be welcomed back into my collection.
How about you?
Big Guns. Though, the reason was probably more that the game was described by the seller as WAY better than its actual condition. Didn't think that much of the game, either....

So bad you did not even bother to list it on past games you have owned? 
Centaur not because I hated it but the rest of the family did although I will admit I got bored with it quicker than I thought I would.
Quoted from VisitorQ:So bad you did not even bother to list it on past games you have owned?
Seriously? Wow, no. I will fix that. Wonder where it went?
How about the opposite. I regret selling Laser War. It was my first pin, easy, but fast and fun. I will own one again some day.
Quoted from VisitorQ:With that said, I would put SWEP1 at the bottom of the games that I have owned list.
Funny, when I read the title that is the first game that came to me, for the same reasons you sighted. I would own it again and I don't regret owning it, or any for that matter. It is one of the last one's I would buy back tho.

Did you buy that local in Iowa? I liked BG but it was not one that grabbed or hooked me. It is a neat game tho, love the cannon's.
Quoted from davewtf:i wanted tz gone the entire time i owned it but i miss it now that it's gone. i feel the same way about afm.
I really miss my TZ, that would be the first game I would welcome back into my collection and then SC.
I have owned two AFM's. Although it is a great game and an amazing theme, there was just too much money to be had in selling it and I am very happy I did when I did... Same goes with MM. Two awesome games that are worth current market prices but no more IMO.
Quoted from WesleyCowan:Centaur not because I hated it but the rest of the family did although I will admit I got bored with it quicker than I thought I would.
Bad ass game but honestly, almost a tie with SWEP1 for me. Would rather own it though in a large collection than SWEP1 though so that is why it did not come in last.
Things I hated about that game was it was revolutionary for it's time but compared to modern games with a DMD and ramps...Was not for me in my small collection plus I hated working on it.
SWE1 is a beautiful game, love the vision in the design. It just had no depth or substance. Very shallow and the video modes very repetitious, just fell flat. But it had so much potential. The Pin2K platform could have really evolved into amazing pinball. 
Same here I regret my last trade only cause seller didn't warn of all the issues it had, it's not really his fault just because I advertised that I was looking for a project pin that booted and that's all it did was boot.
I now have a money pit Party Zone and I regret getting it.
Easy...Eight Ball Champ. Thought it would a good title like EBD....Sucked big ass and the mylar on the PF was put on with crazy glue and took up 50% of the paint when I removed it. It was lifting and bubbling in places so it had to come off.
I bought a Sega Star Wars Trilogy based upon the Star Wars theme. The game, IMHO, sucked. I love Star Wars, I like the DE Star Wars, but the Sega is a dog.
Just my opinion.

I picked up a pretty good deal on a Champion Pub earlier this year. I wasn't sure if it was a keeper so I set it up in my friend next door's dining room for a week. The novelties of the jump rope, speed bag and boxer got boring after a few games and sold it.
Quoted from davewtf:i wanted tz gone the entire time i owned it but i miss it now that it's gone.
Heh, that was the same way that I felt about my TZ until you bought it.
I can't say I really regret it though, not enough space and not one of my favorite games...

QFT. It's a budget, uninspired and clunky piece of crap. And the artwork is abysmal — typical of Sega though.
Quoted from Honch:I loved CV until I owned one.
+1 and TSPP not for me.
Batman Forever....Just didnt feel the Joy of completing any mode.
Monopoly.....enjoyed it elsewhere, felt I mastered it after a week.
None... All... with my current number of pins approaching max capacity, every purchase means one less opportunity... and look how long is my wish list.
But the first one to go will be the EM Space mission. I got that one for a few $, but never imagined I would have to carry it in very steep narrow stairs. That was a nightmare. I also realized EM were really heavy. I drove a long way to get it, so I took it, even if the pin was not as nice as I thought and cannot say I love the gameplay. So that one will go but, as I want to keep one EM, I am actively seeking a CQ Dancing Lady - we were born the same year...
Quoted from RobT:Thanks for that by the way.
Guess i'll have to make up the loss with Safe Cracker.... 
No. It was the one that I purchased from a dude near St Louis. The game is up your way now. PB22 took it to the dude that buys all of the EM's near you. Who and where he is remains a mystery to me, though.

I agree. I wanted that game to be so much more than it was.
None so far.
But there are several games I wish I hadn't passed on:
Rollergames, Grand Lizard, HSII, CTFBL...
Right now I'm regretting owning Time Machine and Rollergames...but has NOTHING to do with gameplay. They just turned out to be two massive projects that I wasn't ready for. I'm getting close to being done with both of them though. Can see the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak, but it's taking a lot of time, money, and learning to fix.
Of all the games I've owned, and gotten rid of the one I wouldn't want back is Jurassic Park. Just couldn't get into it at all. Had a working TRex,etc. too.
