A couple years ago after the loss of a very dear friend, and a few seriously depressing weeks of self examination I decided to craft a list of things to do before I die. The list is meant to make some special memories, and to encourage me to try things that I always wanted to, or never would've thought to. Entries range from "Learn to Make Brownies", to "Own a Sword", to "Get Married". This particular entry is: "Make a list of 100 games, Finish Each Game".
This list is an incomplete draft of the 100 games I need to play. Most of these games are older because I feel like it would cheapen the list to include newer games I intend to play anyways (though I am not opposed to the idea of trying out a newer game from a genre or series that's outside of my comfort zone.) I am very open to suggestions because thinking of 100 games I want to play but haven't is much harder than it sounds. Many of the entries on here are non specific and you can definitely help me with those, in addition, here's a list of all the games I've beaten. If you notice any glaring blindspots be sure to yell at me so that I can add them.

For years when people asked me which Final Fantasy's I'd beaten I was able to give a simple "4-(latest entry)." Then I had to go fuck it all up and finally put FF1 in the bag and now when explaining I have to say "1 and 4-(latest entry)" Thats TWO SYLLABLES that have come up at least once since then. Unacceptable. I'll never forget the time I've wasted on those syllables and FF2 is on this list to reclaim those lost seconds, regardless of how much I hate it.
(See previous entry) Never beat this one because it took so long to come to america. Before that the translation I tried playing with only covered half the game before it screwed up on me. Then when it got here I never got around to playing it because it's always felt like a shallower version of 5 to me.
Despite its issues I hold the original FFT in very high regard, which is why I found this games dramatic change in tone so off putting. However I still love the gameplay in the previous games, and my friends have a high enough opinion of this game that I feel like I need to give it a better shot.
Been told this game is awesome for years, I got stuck on it when I was young and gave up on it. I will rectify this.
Yeah I never beat the original...
I always thought the duality of these two games was really cool and I recently got a copy at my local "old stuff" store. Once I get a charger for my GBA I intend to do this one.
(See previous entry)
One of the best series ever made, on one of the best systems ever made, and one of the most modern 2d Zeldas. No further explanation required.
I just had a little trouble getting into the fiction of this game. The fact that such a traditional fantasy aesthetic had been transposed onto the Zelda series really put me off to the game. I already liked the whole fairy tale/fable/modern fantasy mishmash feel I got from previous entries. That and I already saw all the epic shit that goes down at this game climax so I don't really know what there is left for me to care about.
Never had a PC for gaming growing up and there are a lot of classic story based games that I'd really like to go back and play. The premise to this one sounds really promising. Got this on GOG and I intend to play it when I get the chance.
