Games You Thought Were Terrible But Now Think Are Great?

Many Many years ago It was either christmas time or my birthday.  I went to virgin with my sister to buy a Snes game.  There I saw Mario Kart which I had heard about but had never played or even seen it.  And also I saw Barts nightmare which I had heard about.  I was both a big Mario and Bart fan but in the end I chose barts nightmare

So I got home and couldnt wait to play it.  I stuck it in and I thought what a load of crap!  I couldnt believe I had bought such a crap game.  About a week later, I swapped with my friend who had mario kart for a few days.  I then realised how big a mistake I had made.  Mario kart was awesome!  However after a few days it was time to swap back.

For about a month I continued to play my game every so often but not much to be honest.  I just hated the game for some reason.  I mostly played my other games during that month. The last time I played it I did manage to get 7 of the 8 bits of paper and managed a B+ I remember though. I then was bought Mario Kart by my parents and well, It sure was a Great game and I have so many memories playing it

Couple weeks ago my niece came over and we looked throough some old games.  I popped Barts Nightmare in and for some reason after about 17/18 years, I thought the game now was amazing! We played it for atleast 2 hours really enjoying it.  Have even played it several times since and enjoyed it.  Other day I managed to get all 8 bits of paper and got the A+

Any of you guys have similiar stories?  
Maybe it has to do with an age thing where I have enjoyed the game now more playing it as an adult rather than a 10 year old?

 Knight Lore on the ZX Spectrum. I didn't actually think it terrible when it was released but I found it too hard, and awkward to play and I had no idea what you were supposed to actually do. It was one I had always put down as innovative, nice to look at much not much fun to play.

A few years ago I made a bit of an effort to understand it,  I read its wikipedia entry and watched some YouTube recordings showing how to play it. Now I understand it and it is such a simple concept, not much different to Atic Atac really, and I absolutely love it. I played it for weeks until I managed to complete it and got a huge sense of satisfaction from doing that after all these years.
