If the 1950s taught us anything, it's that predicting the future is tough. Just ask this guy. Well video games are just as guilty at bungling predictions are Hollywood movies and classic TV. And while video games have only been around for a few decades, we already have plenty of examples of games getting it wrong.

But what once was the future is now the past. Check your calendar, because all of these futuristic games are now period pieces. Join me as I look at 10 Classic Games that Failed to Predict the Future.
