What game did you find in a bargain bin that turned out to be awesome? For me it was Z by Bitmap Brothers which I got at Zellers for $0.47 (lemmy.world)

If you're thinking of buying Z now - the modern remake is a careless trash port FYI

Z is a fantastic game but some of the levels infuriated me, no matter how well I played the AI seemed to have an answer... Turned out the difficulty goes up a notch after each loss since the devs expected you to git gud.

Oh wow, I wasn't aware of that!

I remember initially falling in love with the concept of the game and the humor and the graphics, but then feeling absolutely crestfallen that I couldn't accomplish anything in the game!

But then I had my very first big gamer epiphany - you need to be aggressive in Z! So not only was it one of my big surprise favorites, I had one of my most rewarding aha! moments as a gamer with it
