So would beating Wheel of fortune mean just whoopin' the computers ass and winning the bonus round at the end. Cause if it does then mark it up!

Stories 1, 2 (run 1) and 3 of Rolling Thunder cleared.
At story 4, I got to level 10, but in 30 tries, I only managed to see Maboo once. :x

Bella, since AdamL doesn't have Dr. Mario, I figure that would be a safe bet. As for Yoshi and Yoshi's Cookie:

YOSHI (Nintendo)
-Play the B game and when you finish Round 99 on Speed High, you will go on
to the next Round, which instead of Round 100 reads some kind of symbol.
I'll consider beating Round 99 finishing the game.


YOSHI'S COOKIE (Nintendo)
-You can play through the game normally and when you get to Round 10, Stage
10 and beat it on Hi Speed, you can very well think that you won the
game...however, there is a stage select that lets you select up to Round 99!
Use the stage select and when you finish Round 99, Stage 10 then you have
finally beaten the game.


MrMiniMog - I don't know much about Spy Hunter, does it have a loop of stages or is it one continuous stage? If it's got stages, then you need to see all of them to count it as beaten, otherwise you need to break the CPU's score. I left it blank for now (you can break the high score without seeing every stage), so let me know As for Gun.Smoke, one win is all it takes (no special ending for the other quests, assuming there ARE multiple quests) so I marked you down for it

Tony, that's what I count for game show games - utter annihilation of the computer. Marked it for you

Anyway, I knocked off The Punisher when I woke up. Haven't played it in a long ass time, so I was a bit rusty, but I can still beat it in my sleep

-------------------------


"It's always amazing to me how some of the most worthless games from a gaming perspective tend to fetch outrageous amounts of money. But then again, it could be said that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm curious if the high bidder of the $873.04 Stadium Events (cart-only) realizes that it's nowhere nearly as rare as about 20+ games I can think of that sell for 1/10th that amount?  At any rate, I wanted to draw attention to this trend: if people say it's rare, it must be true, and therefore it must be had at any price."

Good idea, I really like this, so I think I'll contribute. Mark me down as I just beat Kirby's Adventure yesterday. Just moved onto Code Name Viper, so be ready for that!

I beat Tecmo Bowl, the original a week before the Super Bowl

and Blades of Steel shortly after the Olympics

Those are the only ones I can remember at the moment, so I'm pretty sure that's it. Listing out the games was a good idea, I completely forgot about sports games, some do have an ending.

I'll try to dust off a few other easy ones, I'm not so good at the hard games

I would start recruiting a Chess player to tackle Chessmaster, I think there is 17 levels.

Also can you use ABBA on Ikari? I would start looking for someone who could beat that one too, I'm out either way

Don't think she's played much this year at all. Last I heard she was selling off everything.

Anyway, if Super Sprint has a stage loop but is endless, seeing every stage is considered beating it. If it has points but no stage loop, beating the default score counts. If both, try to do both Again, not much info on it since I never really bothered to play it. I don't pretend to have got every untrackable game reddened yet, I'm sure some will be found when people go to play them

That she is. Look forward to her being able to help eventually, but in the meantime, it's on us

I'm totally just going to mash this game in like 2 hours and scoop you on it.

No just kidding I'm super rusty, haven't even played since I was already super rusty at Paul's.

It'll probably be more like 3 hours.

No seriously, I'm not going to.

Yeah, SpyHunter is just one big loop until you get a game over.  With the score I had, I looped though the whole game a few times. CPU score was beat.

Anyway, caught up with the posts, and knocked Mario's Time Machine off personally. Figured it would be a quickie, and I still didn't have a personal date yet, so it knocked it off two lists
