BHP!
I remember begging my mom for this game!
Objective: Spin the wheel to reveal a truth or dare. Successfully complete the challenge and you collect a fortune card in one of four categories—Children, Marriage, Career, Special Moments.
WTF aspect: Fail to complete a truth/dare and you have to wear a red zit sticker. Awkward for the girl in the room who actually does have really bad, emotionally scarring acne.
What it taught us: Those fortune cards told us what adulthood had in store for us, and basically your future sucks. "You will have identical twins five days before your 23rd birthday." (Sh!t.) "The player to your right will secretly reveal the best career to you." (For the love of God, why did you sit next to Joanna?) "The man you marry will be wearing a mask when you first meet." (That's not creepy.)

OH! The ZITS you had to wear!! I totally forgot about those! LOL!!!
There were so many crazy girl-themed games in the 90's.
Who had this one?
Objective: Be the first to buy all six items on your shopping list and make it to the parking lot. Players move around a mini plastic mall, use cardboard credit cards, and cash.
WTF aspect: What's with having to use your "credit card" to make a purchase and then also having to hand over fake cash to a banker?
What it taught us: Basically responsible for American credit card debt.

My parents never bought me Mall Madness, but I did play this one with girlfriends who had it. I think it was the reason I wanted to work at the mall so bad when I was old enough.
Which were your favorite old games??
