I've got one of those from the video game realm: the 1998 LucasArts adventure game Grim Fandango. My gaming interest around that time was being sucked up by Baldur's Gate, and although Grim Fandango sounded intriguing, I just never got around to even buying it. It's since become known as (arguably) the best game LucasArts ever produced, and I've been kicking myself for missing it ever since. I do take small consolation in the knowledge that Baldur's Gate (or more specifically, it's sequel, Shadows of Amn) still holds the number one slot on my personal list of best video games ever, so I don't consider all that time spent playing games other than Grim Fandango wasted, but still, I'm occasionally wistful for the one that got away....
