Adventure Island II, Monopoly, and Super Chase HQ are done.

I'm not sure if it counts as beating it, but in Battlezone/Super Breakout, I got the high score in Battlezone and I beat the stage (there seems to be only one repeating stage and no high score screen) in Super Breakout.

cool ball / pop up completed in 1:26:05. the last levels really mess with your hand eye co-ordination and it is really easy to mess up. also the game doesnt show you where the exit is untill you have collected what is required! i recorded it on my computer but there is no sound and it is sooo long so i dont think i will upload it.

i did however use the level select for a level i had already gotten to because i ran out of lives, does this still count? it's just the same as using a continue

Nice going, Red!

How are we treating Mickey Mouse? It looks like it is the PAL version of Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle.

Yup, it is -- that's exactly why it's not on my list of PAL exclusives. So if someone wants to beat MM instead of BBCC, I think that would work.

Thanks bronzeshield. I might give it a go.

Fortified Zone is cleared for another year. It remains one of my favourite games on the gameboy. Photos to follow at some point.

So I played a game of Lingo and beat the computer in the main round. I chose to go to the No Lingo bonus round, solved a puzzle, but got hit with 5 in a row (which is bad in the bonus round), and got a GAME OVER.

Then I played another game, beat the CPU, and didn't go to the No Lingo round...and got an immediate GAME OVER.

Unless there's some score-based benchmark that has to be reached, I guess I beat it?

EDIT: I played some some more, won a couple rounds of No Lingo, and made it to the middle of the high score table. If necessary I could try to reach the top, though it's heavily luck-dependent.



What you did sounds good to me. I checked it off for you.

I watched some YouTube videos of this game and honestly it looks like just playing it and getting to the game over screen would count as a completion.

If that's the case, you can mark that one as beaten as well.

Great to see we're making progress.

I've reached the final dungeon in Sword of Hope 2, but I need to grind for experience before I press on. My party struggles against pretty much everything I encounter at the moment.

I'm breaking up my playing sessions on this with Boxxle and Trip World. I can reach the last boss in the latter, but he keeps demolishing me.

kwirk finished! such a great game..i would recomend it to anyone.

i think i am going to lay off the puzzlers for a while. i might try and get through most of pokeblue tomorrow, currently on my 4th badge. and then probably move onto a platformer or burai fighter (if i am daring enough!)

Sword of Hope 2 is beaten. Despite some difficulty spikes that force you to grind for ages, this is a relatively easy RPG. The gauntlet of final bosses are easy once you have the Empower spell.

Still, I enjoyed the experience.

Nice work. I tried to beat that last year but got stuck in the Casino. I couldn't win enough money to enter the private room. Do you have any tips for the Casino games?

Not really.  I just played Blackjack until I had enough money.  Since you can bet any amount you want, you really only have to win two games in a row.  If you lose all your money, you can just go to the cashier and he'll give you more.
