Anyone keep track of how many games you've beaten?

[youruglyclone]

Beating is a game is a fine achievement but have you ever thought about how many you've beaten during span as a gamer?

I pretty in the process of doing a tally for myself and I'm up to about 170+ for about 18 years worth of gaming.

granted there are games where I cheated (I was six at the time...), and a majority of the games I haven't "completed" (didn't get all the items, characters, endings blah blah blah).

So anyone care to share their tallies?

[BrokenFlight]

I've beaten about 8 PS2 games, Hitman (2 games), MOH (2) True Crime and others. I've only ever beaten one game on the Megadrive. That was Empire of Steel, an excellent shmup (called Steel Empire in other countries, I think). I've come to the final boss a few times but I usually only have 1 ship left by then.

I've sort of beaten Sonic 3. I used Sonic and Knuckles to unlock all the levels then I played through each level separately. But I don't consider myself to have "beaten" it. I came close to beating Sonic 2 but I was staying up all night and I got bored by 5am

I've done 95% of GTA:SA 96% of VC and 98% of GTA3 but I jsut can't seem to get the last few per cent done

I should really concentrate on one game for a while. I'd have more chances of beating them if I actually played them a lot. I have a bad habbit of buying a game, playing it for a couple of hours, then putting it away on the shelf and forgetting about it.

[jajaja]

I used to keep a list of all the NES games I've beat when I was a kid. I still have that list hehe
But from that, no, I have no idea how many games I've beaten totaly.

[rbudrick]

A little bump here...I was doing a search on something else and came across this.

I have kept a list of games I have beaten, along with the time it took me to beat them, and what system they were for since I was 11 or 12. It's in the 470 range or so, iirc.

I'll never forget the greatest summer ever when I was 15 or so (maybe 14). I beat 90 games that summer. <sigh> It wasn't uncommon to beat 2 in a day then, sometimes 3 (rent it, beat it, return it, rent another). One day I beat 5! I really wish I dated my accomplisments so I can look back on what games I beat close to each other.

Can't say I didn't get any excercise either...the video store was 3 miles away, and I rode my bike there. I used to get a minimum of 6 miles a day on my bike...

How the hell did I find so much time to get into trouble back then?!

-Rob

[Jumpman Jr.]

Over my life, no... I'm sure I beat many games back when I was a kid, but there is no way I would ever remember which ones they are.
Recently, yes. Everytime I beat a game, I add it to my post in the "Beaten in 2005" thread.

[§ Gideon §]

Haha, wow that's pretty impressive. I remember you telling stories about how the rental store would give you freebies? Was that you?

Anyway, I don't keep track. I probably won't start any time soon, either... I could find out though, really easily. I've got my entire collection catologued. Hmm... This is making me curious...

Yep, that was me! Wow...good memory, dude. They used to depend on me to review the games all thre way through to tell them which ones were good so they'd know what to recommend. People starting calling me from all over for game tips...even showing up at my house sometimes, lol. It got the point where I would often help people through games I had never even played just by having them describe what they were doing in the game.

The store wanted to hire me when I was 14, but they couldn't due to age restrictions for the workers in NH. They used to let me rent the games for free. I'd often help out around the store for the free rentals. Computer Junction...later Game Junction was the coolest store ever for rentals. They rented everything...TG16, Genesis, SNES, NES, GB, GameGear, NeoGeo. No SMS though, I don't think.

They used to let you play any game before you played it right there in the store. I remember being really let down when they went out of business.

The day the SNES came out I rented it and beat Super Mario World the same night. I was psyched because I found about 45 levels that night, including the secret worlds (and made it through them). I think the Blue switch palace was the last level I ever found in that game.

Renting a NeoGeo RULED.
