Classic Games you never finished.

[ZeroCool]

So there a lot of classic games like the Mario series, the Zelda series, Final Fantasy etc. Were there any all time classics or highly regarded games you were never been able to complete due to any factors such as didn't have time, boredom, forget about it and so on? I played Super Metroid got lost and frustrated so I just stopped and forgot about it. Xenogears as it was pretty boring, I tried again yesterday and still it seems pretty boring. Although Ive read it gets better eventually.

I haven't completed a large majority of my collection. kid Icarus was excellent yet near impossible. I could never beat it without the help of the cheaty passwords.

I like to think of my retirement as a giant span of playthroughs, cigars and whiskey.

I've never finished Tetris

I could never beat this as a kid either. But then I recently sat down and played the 3d version and beat it. Not sure if they changed anything besides the 3d backgrounds? It was a breeze after getting past the first 3 levels though.

Before today, I would have said Mega Man 2. But I slayed that beast this afternoon.

I've never finished MegaMan 1 or 6, only because I got them in the later part of the 1990s and never really made the effort, same can be said of any Ninja Gaiden game too, and I do mean any of them outside the one on the Gameboy.

I also have never finished Yoshi's Island or any from that series of games. The first pissed me off because Nintendo sold me on the lie it was Super Mario World 2 which put me out $50, hate the ranking system in it as well, and the screaching baby is high on the list as well. I've finished most of it, but not all of it as I just get fed up with it as it's not even really hard if you're not going for a 100. In turn the N64 game was so simple it was boring, the DS one I never touched, and the 3DS one I got almost free in a sale and only did one world and probably will sell it. Something about the entire series is kind of endearing but even more just not that interesting to bother with it yet I keep the SNES game around as a reminder.

Before someone notes it, I didn't look up Yoshi's Island in Nintendo Power, should have, but got it day one blind. Had I read a review in that mag where they'd lay out like the first world or two in picture I'd have ignored it as we're talking clearly pre-internet days here. No over saturation of information and no youtube to form a feeling before buying, let alone emulators to steal and play it until some years later when the FX2 was cracked.

The Adventures Bayou Billy. I just gave up.

Seiken Densetsu 3 on the Super Famicom. It's so hard because I can't understand Japanese

[Niku-Sama]

That reminds me....
Rockman and bass on super famicom. Hard on emulator but when I got a 2 copies on super famicom I haven't played it since. I should try it

I don't know if I've ever beaten Super Mario Bros without using the 1-Up cheat. I never even came close to finishing Zelda II.

Mega Man and Ghosts n Goblins for the NES. IMHO, I always thought the 1st Mega Man was the toughest of them all. However, on the upside this year I finally beat my white whale TMNT on the NES thanks to a walkthrough bb_hood made for me. Thanks bro.
