Bea, you're a fucking BEAST! I don't think I've ever made it that far at all, especially not solo. Then again, playing multiplayer you pretty much have to go with the Elf or you never get to collect any keys, potions, health, or anything else because friends tend to get greedy
Holy shit, Bea! You basically own this competition. You are knocking off games left and right. I still want to make my Pirates! contribution but I keep getting distracted.
Question on Basewars... how the heck do you finally finish off freaking pennant mode? I've put in over 50 games, ten against each opponent, and still nothing. If you set the number of games to 10, does that mean every team have to play every other team ten times? I don't get it...
Unfortunately, I don't think I can count myself on this one anyway, since some of those 50 games were played during 2009... but it'd be good to know for whoever decides to tackle it. And for me, so I can check it off my personal list...

ACTION SO H0T, YOU'LL GET PENNANT FEVER BLISTERS. In this mode you can set up a Cyber League pennant race of up to 10 games with up to six of the 12 established ball clubs. To begin the pennant race, press the Control Pad Right to choose START in the PENNANT Mode box, then press the A Button. You can continue an existing pennant race by choosing CONTINUE with the Control Pad, then pressing the A Button. Now you must decide whether or not you want to keep the existing pennant race data. Base Wars has a special feature that actually lets you save pennant races and their data for future play. You'll be able to save such key stats as league ranking, home run ranking, ERA's and battle stats. (At least you won't have to worry about the robots going on strike and putting the kibosh on an exciting pennant drive.) Use the Control Pad to select YES or NO, then press the A Button and you're ready to begin. Press the Control Pad to select the teams for the race, pressing the A Button to lock each one in, the B Button to cancel. When you've finished picking the teams, press the A Button. The arrow cursor will point to CYBER LEAGUE. This is your opportunity to change the name of the league. Press the Control Pad Left or Right to select any letter, then Up or Down until the desired letter appears. Press the A Button to select the number of games to be played. Press the Control Pad Up or Down to change the number (maximum of 10). Press the A Button again to see the Team 1 roster. Now you can change the team name, owner's name, playing mode, type of robot, robot's name, field position and batting side (see EDIT TEAMS, page 8). Press the Start Button to go to Team 2 roster. Repeat this process until all of your pennant race teams are completed. Press the Start Button one more time to confirm the teams you've chosen. If you want to make some more changes, use the Control Pad to select NO, then press the A Button to return to the Team Select screen. If you're satisfied, press the A Button to go to the Options screen. Here you can PLAY BALL, go to the PARTS SHOP check the teams' RANKING, or CHANGE the teams for the pennant race. Use the Control Pad to pick the option you want, then press the A Button.
It actually kind of amused me that I found all of this in the instruction manual for the game...
OSG, since I counted the bad ending of Bart vs the World, it would be bad form to not count the bad ending to Mighty Bomb Jack. So, if you beat it I'll edit it in, but I left it blank cuz you didn't say you beat it or not.
Most RPGs of that era were huge grindfests. Hell, Wizardry 2 should've taken me a hell of a lot longer than it did, except I've long since learned the easy ways to level

Right... but my question's not about selecting the number of teams. When I started playing this for my own completion, I assumed that, by selecting "10" as the number of games I only had to play ten games... but the pennant race didn't end at that point.
I then assumed that I had to play *each* team ten times... forty games later, the mode still hadn't ended.
At this point, I'm assuming that every team has to play every other team ten times... which means, with fifteen possible pairs of teams, that the total number of games is 150, and that, if you're playing alone and have everyone else set to CPU, the other 100 games have to be played out by the CPU. Which sounds absolutely riveting (not).
All this to say, what should the acceptable completion requirements be? Finishing a single game? Finishing a pennant mode, regardless of number of games? Or should the requirement be to finish a "ten-game" pennant mode, including all the games that a CPU would (presumably) have to play out?
I haven't found a definitive answer yet... weirdly enough, the first search result for "basewars ending" on Google is one of my own reviews. Hmm.
Sounds exciting. Ultima: Exodus was atrocious enough. Hopefully this won't be as bad... the PC version was pretty fun, but I'm sure it plays a lot differently.

I underlined the wrong line. It's the line before that matters "Press the A Button to select the number of games to be played."
Unfortunately, every NES game I own has already been crossed off the list. From here on out I'll have to use emulators, which is okay, but just no where near as fun . I'd also like to say somewhat prematurely that this is loads of fun. I'd love to do it again next year. Or maybe on other consoles.
I'm thinking of doing it again next year actually. I'm totally not gonna do other consoles myself, but feel free to start threads next year using the same model to keep track of any system you want to
The best thing about this thread is that it gives me a reason to break out some old titles that I haven't played in awhile, or even try out some games I never played before
Well, since nobody responded to my question about Hillsfar, I decided that the scenarios are short enough that I'd knock off another. So now I've seen half of what the game has to offer. Invested 2.5 hours into the Fighter scenario, most of which was the annoying arena battles. Overall, it was far easier than the Cleric scenario, but the arena made it far less enjoyable. Guess I'll wait until I knock off the Mage and Thief now.
haha Well, I noticed that I hadn't conquered and taken a pic of any new games this year. I figure that's because Liam is new to the household and all that stuff. Now that I have more time to play, all of the games on the list I've knocked off were already beaten by someone : P I'm working slowly on Tecmo NBA though.

Master chu and the drunkard hu

edito completeo: Does the bad ending in mighty bomb jack count? It had better because ugh.
"the battle is over, but the war has just begun." really? cause i just beat 16 battles, and it seems like the war is over. congratulation!!!
This one will surely take a bit to beat.
That's cool, I'll just wait until you do it then
Don't hold your breath.
On that note. Ultima: Quest of the Avatar
Grinded through. So much grinding.

Gauntlet is still kicking my fit butt badly. It will take more time to put it on it's place.

I beat it nearly every day, and I will certainly have it beaten minutes within the new year. XD
