I finished Capt America but I did it on easy. It had all the levels but didn't have the full ending. Dunno if that counts, but if it doesn't im not gonna bother haha. That game is very annoying on any other difficulty.

Beat a few of the wrestling games. Surprised nobody claimed these guys yet.
WWF Superstars
WWF Superstars 2 (in the cage brotha!)
​Ring Rage

​Oh that's my twin brother Matt in the background being silly. Haven't participated in this GB challenge since last year. Good to be back! ^>^

Defeated a few other great game boy games today:

Killer Instinct (One of my favs)
Fist of the North Star
Burai Fighter (Ace Difficulty)
​Primal Rage

Did you beat Burai Fighter on an GBA?

Nah just straight up emulation.

AH ok, cuz I think theres a glitch in Burai Fighter on GBA where you cant get passed the 2nd boss. I couldn't never figure it out because you'd just explode and die and it looks like you never got hit.

Huh, I may have to check that out!

Yeah, its a shame cuz I like Burai Fighter for NES.

I also finished Mega Man 1 which I forgot how much of a PITA that is, only at the Wily levels. They ask for a LOT from the player... no passwords, and if you die at the boss, and forget to it B to continue but A for stage select, you start all over from Wily 1... like I did  .

But it was ALMOST worth it for the sweet ending music. Almost.

Oh MM1 is my favorite of the 6, and I find it the easiest haha.  But for GB its just annoying.

I finished Ren & Stimpy Veediots. No big deal, except I had this game when I was a kid and somehow I wasn't ever able to beat it. I thought my game was glitched because I thought that pressing B was an attack. It's not, it's a grab, which is what it looks like. Anyway, pretty bad game, but I gotta hand it to them for actually making Ren and Stimpy speak.

2 things:

1. I beat Hatris. It literally says CONGRATURATIONS when you finish level 9-5. It's a thing of beauty.

2. If nobody minds, I'm gearing up to run this thread for 2018. I'm more than 95% of the way through the GB library, recording completion requirements for each game. I want to run it like the other threads, where games are worth more points based on previous years' completions. I'm already spreadsheeting data from previous threads because I'm a huge nerd. The more I dig into the GB library, the more I see how many great games (and sure, how many dogs) there are, and I want to help strengthen the ol' grey brick's presence on NA.

I sure don't mind! I'm sorry I've dropped the ball on this one this year. I'm at a time in my life where I have almost no time for videogames. Finishing up my last semester of college, working, looking for a full time job etc. 

Maybe next year without running the thread I could maybe beat a few games, we will see.... 

UPDATED FINALLY  

 

Won a game of Monopoly. You can really dive into the menus and find all the nitty-gritty functionality of the board game.

When I was a kid I had Adventure Island but I could never get very far. I thought it was a hard game. Now I know I just sucked.

I beat Ishido: Way of Stones. It's kind of like playing Aces Up on Solitaire Fun Pak, in that once you figure out the basic strategy, you just apply it on game after game until you get lucky enough to win. Aces Up takes more tries though. I like how Ishido makes full use of every pixel on the GB screen.

I beat Donkey Kong Land and Donkey Kong Land 2

I finished Daedalian Opus. I'd been working on it for a long time on my phone, and I decided to get it finished before the end of the year. I've started a couple other games this year that I definitely won't get back to in time, I may just restart them for next year.

Here's Daedalian Opus trying (and succeeding) to be super cool.

Coming out of obscurity and finally putting down Friday the 13th for a bit (the XBONE version) I plowed thru a couple of NES ports. Cliffhanger, Duck Tales 2, Darkwing Duck and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Maaan, how do you avoid the stupid birds in Cliffhanger?

Pff thats the LEAST of the games problems.  But just punch, or dodge.  Its really not hard at all, but maybe because im used to the NES version.  The platforming if anything you have to get used to, and being able to jump over to platforms that you cant see in front of you. 

GUITAR Zombie SCOOTS IN RIGHT AT THE END FOR THE WINNNN

Splain in second!

thanks so much for all the fun guys, really didn't get to play as much as I'd have liked but I hope you all had fun!!!

Also lobbying for a small import section for next year let me know if that's possible for whoever will run it next year!!
