Has anyone actually finished a game? I mean really finished it? Got every single secret without cheating.. and I mean EVERY single secret - all difficulties, hidden things (eg. Golden Skulltalas on Zelda).

I sadly have never completed the more recent games. However my first game I ever called was an old game from years ago. It was a point and click adventure from Sierra (they used to do lots of these) called "Ecoquest" an underwater adventure where you helped out a little dolphin. But still.. I hadn't got EVERY single point available therefore hadn't fully completed it :(

I've seen many games in my time. Game gear, gameboy, master system, play station, Nintendo 64... yet the only game I have ever completed is Mario Land 2 for the gameboy. The only game!!! And as far as I'm aware I think I did everything possible. However I've NEARLY finished games like Zelda 64 (completed it but couldn't find about 6 gold skulltalas) Alex the Kidd (got about half way through), Donkey Kong 64 (would have completed it if I was any good at arcade Donkey Kong which I thought was a very sad and lazy addition by the Rare team) and more notably and sadly Sonic the Hedgehog on the game gear.. I was in the car playing for a whole journey and got to the VERY VERY LAST LEVEL with just one life. The sad part was we had got somewhere and my parents made me get out the car, and when I said "I just have to complete this level" i really did mean it.. unlike those other times when you just say it to get an extra 50 minute game :). Alas the parents put pressure on me telling me to hurry up and this resulted in me making a silly mistake... I never got back to that level again.. how evil parents can be :(.

So as I stand now I have come close to completing many games but I am yet to finish every single game.. there is a long way to go to do that. I'm just not the skilled game player some people manage to be. I despise you people who can complete the hard setting on Perfect Dark and Goldeneye I really do.

So in future when you complete those games be proud of your accomplishments as it is a great achievement and please think of me and my struggle to complete even one.
Thank you for reading.

HOw many games have I completed totally. Too many to count really.

The games I can remember most are Rare games. These include Banjo Kazooie, Jet force Gemini, DK and also Zelda:Links awakening, MM, OoT and A link to the past. Obviously the Zelda games aren't rare games though.

(;o) Happy I have completed Zelda. 120 skulltulas...oh yes!

The first game for me that springs to mind that I have completed is the original Sonic on the Master system. Oh yeah, and Sonic 2 on the Megadrive. What about Asyerix and Obelix on the Master System? Oh I've completed Pokemon Yellow too (Imean properly completed it, as in got 150 PKMN).
I guess I've completed quite a few games. Whoops, I forgot Shenmue!

I have never completed a game without cheats. I normally just complete it on easy mode, the normal and hard mode are to similar. The only times ive ever carried on with a game are with goldeneye and perfect dark, because you are rewarded with more levels (temple etc.) This should be done more because you then get more play out of your games.

When I was in between playing bits of MGS, when I got stuck at that I'd look to my Ninty games for some easy stress relief!!

Look at the pretty colours!!
