Many....
The first I regretted was Microprose's Starlords, back when games were still sold in big boxes. At that ime, I couldn't purchase game that often and that one was a solid disapointment. Then there were many more, until I got out of gaming for quite a few years. When I came back to it, the world was different. the age of digital distribution had come, and with it big sales. You don't regret really buying an uninteresting game for 2€. You just don't play it.... Yet there are games I purchased at full price and in these I only had a couple of regrets.
The last to date is Battle Worlds Kronos. Maybe because I expected it to be better than the good old battle isles, and that's not, as far as i am concerned, the case.
Of course I have also accumulated some games in sales that in the end I shouldn't have bought. Is there one to mention in particular ? Oh, yes, Defcon, with that DRM free yet DRM-ed issue.
