Each and every game i have completed, from beginning to end. Not included:
Sports games, like Madden.
Games with multiple endings for one or more characters, like Street Fighter.
Racing games, like Mario Kart.
Arcade games, like Pac-man or Donkey Kong.
Games that have no ending whatsoever.
I don't know how i got through this as a kid, but somehow, i did it.
Rented this one weekend and got to the end.
Finished the NES version. Not sure how, because it was terrible.
Needed a strategy guide to see where i had to go at what time. Other than that, i got through it without cheating.
One of the all time greats. I'm proud to have this one under my belt.
Water Temple aside, i got through this with few problems.
The dungeons were a pain in the ass. Good thing there were only four of them.
If you're a Zelda veteran, this is one of the easiest games in the series. Having to sail everywhere was tedious, though.
Got through Minish Cap with few problems.
This is basically a tribute to Ocarina of Time.
The temple of the Ocean king. An exercise in patience.
Cra-zy. But that's how it go-o-oes.
My local Blockbuster didn't carry this when i was a kid, so i never got to play it until i got Mega Man Anniversary Collection. It counts, dammit!
Man, this was tough. But i managed to finish this.
A fair bit easier the Mega Man 2.
This was the first Mega Man game i ever played. Then 3, then 2, then 5, 6 and the rest. I went backwards, then forwards.
Contact damage was reduced, and the charge shot was powerful. It's more forgiving than other Mega Man games.
Most people never played this until its release on Mega Man Anniversary Collection. I'm proud to say that i played, and finished the original NES version.
The final boss was a bastard. Aside from that, this game isn't very hard.
Easy peasy.
Tough game, but i got to the end using the Xbox 360 d-pad, no less.
So many people complained about the difficulty of Mega Man 9, so it was toned down for this. Pussies.
One of my all time favorites. I've played this beginning to end several times, and i never get tired of it.
Got through this with few problems.
Had a hard time finding armor upgrades and ride armors at first. Once you get the leg upgrade, you can get the ball rolling.
Easy with X. Not so much with Zero.
More challenging than X4.
WAY more challenging than X4.
Didn't bother with X8 after this. It's bad.
Couldn't get through any of the games in the Zero series, but this is more forgiving.
Difficulty wise, this is on par with ZX.
This game was HILARIOUS.
"But Girn, this is just a remake of Mega Man X!" It counts, dammit!
The last few levels were excrutiating. I managed to beat Bowser and rescue the princess.
Got all the way to the end and killed Wart by making him eat vegetables. I imagine that's how Elvis died.
The greatest 2-D platformer ever made. It took me years to master this.
Beat Bowser and his...floating...balloon...smiley face...thing. What the hell was that thing, anyway? You know what i'm talking about. That thing he flew around on?
Giant Baby Bowser throwing a tantrum. What a boss battle!
The last couple of levels get pretty tough.
One of the easiest games i ever played.
I was never into RPG's. But i loved this one.
My all-time favorite game.
You have a vacuum that catches ghosts. How cool is that? I'd like to see the guy from those Oreck infomercials plugging something like that. "This vacuum has so much power, it can catch ghosts! Helping us demonstrate is the ghost of Ernest Hemingway!"
Not as memorable as Mario 64, but still a good game.
This game took Mario back into 2D.
Both Genesis/Mega Drive and SNES versions. Since they're both completely different, this is a two-fer.
Meh.
I could only play this in the computer lab at school, and it was on 1 of 40 computers there. Was able to get through it in one class session.
Not a bad game. The biggest plus was the Tallarico soundtrack.
Couldn't beat the first Jim without cheating, but i could get through this one, somehow.
Finished the Genesis/Mega Drive version, that was the only Jurassic Park game i could get through.
This, too.
Who doesn't like Mickey?
This one was developed by Capcom, and it was pretty good.
Rented this one weekend and got through it. I remember it being pretty easy.
Played through this with a friend. Short, simple and stupid.
There was one time i got to the final boss. I don't know how, but Robotnik would not die. I kept hitting him every chance i got, but the fight just kept going. I had beaten him before, so i knew what had to be done. Eventually, the timer hit the 10 minute mark and i lost a life.
The Death Egg Zone. Back to back boss battles and no rings to help you.
This, when combined with Sonic & Knuckles, is one of my all time favorites. After getting both, i rarely played either of them as a stand alone cartridge.
See above.
That last level is a pain in the ass.
This was tricky with a d-pad.
The only Game Gear title on this list. And a pretty good one, too.
The only Sega CD title on the list. And it's a damn good one, too.
I played this as part of Sonic Gems Collection. I was able to get all the emeralds and win that last race as Super Sonic. Probably won't do it again.
Pretty fun, but there were too many playable characters. Who wants to play as Amy? Or that brain damaged cat?
All hail Shadow.
Console version. This is like a greatest hits album for Sonic fans.
Played through this with my brother. We had a blast with this.
Not as good as Streets of Rage 2.
I liked this as a kid. I had no idea this game had a cult following.
I see this as a follow-up to Turtles in Time. Similar graphics, levels, sound effects and music. If you liked Turtles in Time, you'll like this.
Played through this with my brother. It was pretty stupid.
The SNES version was a sidescroller, and not a very good one.
The Genesis/Mega Drive version was a fighting game, and not a very good one.
Completed the Genesis/Mega Drive version with my brother in under an hour. It was a beat em up, and not a very good one.
Completed the SNES version. There's no save and no password, so you have to play through this in one sitting. A lot of games were like that at the time.
This game was a collect-a-thon, like Super Mario 64 or Banjo-Kazooie.
Here's some useless trivia. There is a haunted mansion level in this game. The music in the background is the song "Grim Grinning Ghosts", which can also be heard in the Haunted Mansion attractions in Disney theme parks.
I love this game, and i'm proud of it!
If you like Vectorman 1, this provides more of the same.
Not only is this a great co-op game, it's actually better if played in co-op. Get a friend and play this.
Hellooooooo nurse!
Dumber than advertised.
This is one of my all time favorites.
Bought this with my Gameboy. I couldn't get to the end because i couldn't see a damn thing on the screen. I was able to finally beat it years later on my cousins Gameboy Color, on which i could actually see what i was doing.
Level design was inspired by the original Donkey Kong.
This was somewhat different from the first. It's a touch screen based puzzler.
My cousin left his Gameboy Color at my house one summer for a few days, and it had this in the slot, so i played it. I remember liking it quite a bit.
Borrowed this from my sister. She usually has a lousy taste in games. This might be the only exception.
