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.

Like most I don't remember completing a game fully. There's probably only one I can remember, and that was Shadowman.

I don't think i've ever known anyone to complete a game fully other than two people. It really is something that not enough people invest time in doing.

Okay, so there are only hidden secrets, but the satisfaction from having done each and every little part is very worth while.

i aint complete many games totally. One that sticks in mind is Donkey kong country on the snes. I got 101% i was pritty proud of that. Diddy kong racing is anothher one. Completed adventure one and two. That was a very hard game and i was really really happy when i beat that bastuard wizpig! completed other games like mario kart and wrestlemania but they aint exactly hard. The only other one i think of is banjo-kazooie. got all jiggies and notes. The ending made me laugh!

Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, Mario Kart 64 (I've finished all the cups and unlocked all the ghosts-not exactly hard), Goldeneye (beaten every level on 00 Agent and unlocked all cheats), Turok Rage Wars (played through as every character), Jet Force Gemini and some others which don't spring to mind.

I've completed all the missions on Perfect Dark but I've not beaten all the challenges or unlocked all the cheats.

I like to play games through for all they're worth.

Neither am I, we all resigned but I felt that his tagline needed such an outburst.
