Games I Spent Way Too Much Time On After Credits Roll

by wjist

You know how a game can suck you in way after you've beaten the final boss? Yeah, these games have inspired multiple playthroughs and/or messing around with their gameplay.

Showing 1-10 of 14 items

Digimon World

1. Digimon World

Remember that other monster series way back in the day? This game brought out the obsessive compulsor in me, needing to collect every digivolution, townsperson, combat move, and every way to play it. Too bad there was a random bug that prevented from collecting some of the Digimon.

Final Fantasy VII

2. Final Fantasy VII

I played this game a lot growing up. One time, I went from Disc One to Disc Three in one sitting. Also, trying to configure everything perfectly to beat Ruby Weapon (even with a Gameshark) was frustrating and took up a buttload of time. And I didn't even beat him :(

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The first game I took to the extreme: beating it with only 3 hearts, the default. I used to know all the ocarina songs by heart. 3DS version surprisingly faithful and includes Master Quest (which I've never beaten!), to boot.

Super Mario Bros. 3

4. Super Mario Bros. 3

Replaying this game never gets old. I have purchased this game every time it gets re-released (thanks Nintendo!).

Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes

5. Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes

Mashing hyper combos = fun!

Metal Gear Solid

6. Metal Gear Solid

Played on every difficulty at least twice. Duder.

Super Mario 64

7. Super Mario 64

The world will never again know what a mind-blowing experience it was the first time this popped into the N64. I am pretty sure that's where it stayed, long after the 120 stars were collected.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

8. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Protip: The party featured on the box is the best for the final boss. Trust me, I've tried others. Also, I STILL can't beat that (poorly-explained) Yoshi/Boshi race.

Tetris Attack

9. Tetris Attack

I took this game on a bribe from my parents. I never stopped playing it.

Pokémon Red/Blue

10. Pokémon Red/Blue

Duh.
