14. Tony Hawk’s Ride
Tony Hawk: Ride was a skateboarding game that shipped with a big skateboard accessory. To play, you stood on this thing and tried to mimic skateboarding actions, like ollies and manuals. It didn’t work well and the one time I tried to play it at a friend’s house I ate shit and almost fell into their big TV.
It wasn’t a huge hit with fans or critics. Yet in a clear case of sunk-cost fallacy, they decided to make a sequel that would also use the misbegotten skateboard controller.
