Games I have beaten. (As an Adult)

by penelope

Games I have completed. At the very least this means that I have seen the ending credits role.

Note: this does not mean that these games are any good.

Mega Man 9

1. Mega Man 9

This game was originally VERY HARD. Now I can clear it in under 2 hours. It's one of those things where once you "get it", and memorize all of the levels, you can do it on command. Like riding a bike really, only it took so much more effort to learn.

Turok: Evolution

2. Turok: Evolution

This game is a mostly hilariously bad first person shooter. Some interesting weapons can't save a game when everything else is stilted and boring. And believe me, I was surprised that they could make flying a gun wielding pterodactyl boring. Beaten in River Falls ('08-'09).

Metroid Prime

3. Metroid Prime

Somehow manages to bring the magic and fun of the side-scrolling space exploring series to beautiful 3-D. Beaten in River Falls ('08-'09)

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

4. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

While not as visually interesting or compelling as the original Metroid Prime, there is something to be said for not fixing something that was never broken. Beaten in River Falls ('08-'09).

Donkey Kong 64

5. Donkey Kong 64

Not only have I beaten this mediocre marathon of a 3-D platformer, I've collected every possible collectible for the final total of 101%. As a sad note, this is the Guinness World Record holder for game with the most collectibles. I was bored. Beaten in River Falls 08'-'09.

Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat

6. Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat

My girlfriend absolutely hated this game for the week I spent collecting all of the platinum medals but it remains one of my funnest gaming experiences despite the gimmick of bongo controls. Fall '08.

Super Mario 64

7. Super Mario 64

Oh how I remember trying this out for the first time in a Toyz-R-Us all those years ago and the magic of sitting down with it for those first few magical hours Christmas day. Probably my proudest achievement as a young gamer was collecting all 120 stars and getting to Yoshi. Beaten months after I got it for Christmas in '97.

Super Mario 64 DS

8. Super Mario 64 DS

Because it was a DS launch game. Collected all of the new stars. The multi-player also gets a thumbs up from me. Spring '05.

Half-Life

9. Half-Life

A classic. Re-beat it along with the two expansions (Blue Shift and Opposing Force) just this Spring. Spring '09.

Half-Life: Blue Shift

10. Half-Life: Blue Shift

See Half Life. :D
