I defeated Majora's Mask. Every mask, item, stray fairy, heart piece, as well as the whole Bomber's Notebook. I think I 100%ed it.



I got this Majora's Mask cart like 10 years ago and I still love the game. Such a perfect game I can't believe it wasn't taken yet.

F-Zero X beaten on Standard difficulty.
I don't know why it doesn't show that I beat the X cup.
This game was a surprising challenge took me quite a few tries to beat some of the cups.

Quest 64 completed.
This was my first time beating Quest, it isn't as bad as people say it is.
However the game itself just gets boring and is horribly unbalanced.

^No, Mario Party 2 has not been beaten yet. It's also worth two points if you are able to beat it since no one beat it last year.

Hydro Thunder can be crossed off the list.

I was quite amazed by this game the first time I played it! Hydro Thunder is easily one of the best racing games I ever played. I completed it today.




Hydro Thunder does not have any credits so I showed that I've unlocked every track and boat. I checked a guide for it online and I've completed and unlocked everything. I think we can call this beat.

Now if only Off Road Thunder had been ported to the N64.


EDIT: Just noticed Krunch, you added Nightmare Creatures to the completed list but forgot the persons name.

Hey guys, sorry the list is a bit out of date - I have had computer troubles and can't edit it on my smartphone. I will bum a computer tonight and update everything.

cheaterdragon: nice beat on Hydro Thunder. I tried that one out and found it to be really hard.

Joshkaz: a link would be great, you can't embed videos on this site.

I defeated Big Mountain 2000 today:



I started this game a few hours ago and just finished it now. Yeah it's very short, only 4 courses. I wanted to like the game, but it's just too flawed. The controls are awful, the game discourages speed, and often your character trips for absolutely no reason. The worst part is that the computer players don't watch where they're going and constantly crash into you. It happens a lot and really makes the game unenjoyable.

So yeah, pretty crappy game. I also defeated Polaris SnoCross yesterday but that one appears to be taken already. That game was also kinda crappy but it still a lot more fun and took me longer to beat.

Defeated Turok 2 today:



Completed on normal difficulty without auto aim. It's a very difficult game but I still enjoyed enjoyed every minute of. I started this file in February so it's nice to finally complete it.

I'd like to nominate Virtual Chess 64 for the unbeatable list.

I gave this game a shot a week ago since I think Chess can be fun. There really isn't a way to win though. Well, I beat the computer, but that's about it. All you can do is beat the computer again and again. There's no story, tournament mode, or anything to unlock.

Worst of all, this is a bad game. There's no undo option at all. I realize people can abuse an undo option, but come on, give the player a chance if they do accidentally make the wrong move.

There are several difficulty settings in this game and I tried out the hardest. I didn't make it very far though because the computer was taking 5-10 minutes to think of their move. I'm not kidding, the computer was actually taking that long. I realize Chess can be a pretty hard game and if it's an un-timed match then taking time like that isn't out of the ordinary. This is a computer though. You know there's a problem when the human player can make moves faster than the computer. This is the worst part though: The computer was taking these 5-10 minute thinking periods on the 3rd move of the game! Christ, nothing's happened at that point in the game that requires so much thinking. There's no option to make the computer speed up. 30 second turn limits would've been nice a nice feature.

Oh and here's another dumb thing with this game. You can switch sides with the computer. Go ahead, make shitty moves, let the computer checkmate you, and then switch sides. You'll win the game every time.

I could go on, but I just wanted to rant a bit about those especially frustrating parts. Virtual Chess is unbeatable, and also completely obsolete. Just google "Play chess free" and you'll find games that are 100x better.

^Heh, if you think that's bad, you should probably avoid just about every chess title from that era and before. Battle Chess for 3DO, Video Chess for Atari 2600, USCF Chess for Intellivision, etc...all those games can take hours on a move, right from the start of the game! Oh, and the latter two have the nasty habits of (respectively) making illegal moves and crashing.

It's pretty standard for chess games to have a lame ending -- I don't think I've played one that didn't. Also, I know that Chessmaster for NES won't give you a win screen if you use undo, which I think is totally fair. Chessmaster is a much better game that any of the ones I've listed, though, and it sounds like it's better than VC64 too. It has an opening book -- a set of pre-programmed openings -- that enable it to play instantly for anywhere from the first 2-3 moves, to the first 11-12, depending on whether you follow established openings that have been analyzed in depth.

My own standard for beating chess games is to beat it on the highest timed difficulty level (i.e. not infinite) with the Black pieces, but I'm also a former tournament chessplayer (and still play online) so that probably influences my take on things. I'm slowly working my way through the chess games for most vintage consoles, and if I had VC64 I'd give it a shot, but I've never played it.

Anyway, the good news is that there are many programs now available for free that can crush even the strongest Grandmasters while using less than a minute per move!

I just won Jeopardy! Sorry, WE just won jeopardy. I will admit this took a room full of people, and we may have double checked some of our questions with google but technically beaten. Once completed I got rolling credits and then it went to a black screen. I have to reset the system? Anybody beaten this game before and witnessed this?

While typing this entry a cow and a penguin just flashed on the screen. I'm not joking!

Yeah, no problem on Googling some Jeopardy answers, I'm sure it's a little dated by now. Nice set of victories!

I beat Wheel of Fortune. Final word was whiplash. The game is pretty good except for that final round because they give you 20 seconds to type in the answer. To think up the word and punch it in quickly is difficult. I paused the game so I had more time.

Sorry no picture this time. I had the camera out but the damn thing wanted new batteries.

I would like to nominate Namco Museum 64 for the unbeatable list. I'm surprised nobody got to this one sooner. Namco Museum includes the following games:

-Pac-Man (1980)
-Ms. Pac-Man (1981)
-Galaga (1981)
-Galaxian (1979)
-Dig Dug (1982)
-Pole Position (1982)

The first 5 games are supposed to be never ending. The originals had killscreens, but I can't seem to find if Namco Museum has them or not. Regardless killscreens are not really the ending; it's just the game screwing up if you made it way too far.

As for Pole Position, you just race. It doesn't keep track of who is in first, or ever say you win anywhere.





I would also like to nominate Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits Volume 1. The games it includes are:

-Defender (1980)
-Joust (1982)
-Robotron: 2084 (1982)
-Root Beer Tapper (1983)
-Sinistar (1982)
-Spy Hunter (1983)

I haven't been able to find endings for any of those games. I'm pretty sure that they're just quarter snatchers that progressively get more difficult and are more about high scores than completion.

Horrible horrible games (except for killer instinct- that was ok)
