NES Games You've beaten?
« on: May 18, 2013, 09:27:16 am »
So I was looking over my NES collection while I was working on my Game Room and it got me thinking about how I never really beat any of them. Either, because I was too young and got easily frustrated, or they were just too damn hard.

That made me wonder what games other folks have finished for the system. Or if anyone else is in the same boat as me.


Out of 38 games that I own, minus the games that have no end (like Pinball) and not looking at games I've rented or borrowed, I've only finished:

Castlevania
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
The Legend of Zelda
Mega Man 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game

NES is the system I fell in love with gaming on. My older sister had an Atari 2600 that I played, before having the NES, but it never held my attention for long. The NES, you'd have to pull me away from, though. So I've beaten a LOT of NES games:

-The Battle of Olympus
-Bionic Commando
-Bucky O'Hare (it was years ago, when I had much more patience, I don't think I could do it, now)
-Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
-Contra
-Crystalis
-The Legend of Zelda
-Dragon Spirit: The New Legend
-Dragon Warrior
-Dragon Warrior IV
-Duck Tales
-Frankenstein: The Monster Returns
-Life Force
-Mega Man 2
-Mega Man 5
-Monster In My Pocket
-Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos
-Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six
-Super Mario Bros.
-Super Mario Bros. 2 (U.S., although I have beaten Lost Levels, as well, but it was via the SNES's Super Mario All-Stars, so it doesn't belong on this list)
-Super Mario Bros. 3
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
-Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

I finished a lot of them when I was a kid. There are only a handful that I've finished since I've been grown. And I won't count the ones I used the Game Genie on.
I put an Asterisk by the ones I finished as an adult. 

Adventures in the Magic Kingdom
Bucky O'Hare
Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle
Castelvania*
Castelvania II
Chip & Dale
Contra
Darkwing Duck*
Deja Vu
Double Dragon
Double Dragon II
Dragon Warrior
Dragon Warrior II *
Karate Kid
Kirby's Adventure*
Kung Fu
Legend of Zelda*
Life Force
Little Mermaid
Maniac Mansion
Mega Man 2-3
Mega Man 1, 4-6*
Metroid
Pro Wrestling
Rygar*
Super C*
SUper Mario Bros. 2-3
Super Mario Bros. * (I never could figure 8-4 out)
Talespin
TMNT 2
TMNT 3*
Who Framed Roger Rabbit

I think that's all.

Are we only counting games beat without a Game Genie?  Because that significantly shrinks my list :)

I have beaten TMNT (yes, the original) but only with a Game Genie.  Once you try it you'll know why it won't appear on any 'NES games beat' list - the # of bad-guys that swarm you at the end is INSANE!  TMNT 2 & 3 are trivial by comparison, and they'll likely show up on every 'NES games beat list'.

to be honest, i have never beaten a 8 or 16 bit game and there's two reasons

(1) my 2D platforming skills are vary rusty

(2) i have lost all interest in 8 or 16 bit gaming, i'm gonna be selling most of my nes and gen collection in the next 1 or 2 months

The only NES game I've beaten is Metroid, and that was the version you can unlock in Metroid Prime using Metroid Fusion. I also used the Narpas Sword code, so it probably really doesn't count. :-[
