When you say complete..do you mean getting to the end credits? I don't consider a game complete until you've pretty much gotten everything and bled the game dry. I've only got a handful that I've completed like that.


Except for standard Pokemon games, that's how I consider a game beaten.

And using that rubric, I've completed...

Super Mario Bros (NES)
Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
Sunset Riders (SNES)
Mega Man X (SNES)
Turtles In Time (SNES) (A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game)
Pokemon Snap (N64)
Pokemon Conquest (DS)


It's weird. I can name for more games that I've gotten right to the end to, but just lost interest in. I still have two Zelda games to complete. Well, 3. I got right to the end of Link to the Past, but never finished it.

I have games where I'm so close to beating them and just haven't because I got stuck and took a break... that might as well be permanent...

Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door (GC)
Final Fantasy IV (GBA version)
Donkey Kong Country 2 & 3 (both SNES)
Final Fantasy 1 & 2 (Both GBA versions)
Pokemon Colosseum (GC)
Croc 1, 2, and 3 (all PS1)
F1 Career Challenge (PS2)
Paper Mario (N64)

Also... I'm adding F1 2009 to my conquered list... I did make it through career mode once.

It is simple: the end result of that evolutionary path is the vegetarian sausage, of course.
