Hudson Hawk and Home Alone beaten. Im working on Bill & Ted,Smurfs and some more Action 52. Luckily i have a password from earlier this year so i dont have to play Bill & Ted from the beggning
EDIT: More A52: Operation Full Moon,Megalonia,Lazer League,Billy Bob and Space Dreams. Also, Smurfs and Untouchables (i forgot i completed this one a while back)
Bea, if you won and preferred loose carts, that would be fine. CIBs appeal to more people, and if you don't want the boxes and manuals, I could just keep them. They make me money
Elmo, sorry I missed it...think I counted it when doing your tally though, I'll have to double check to make sure. I tallied it from the list you posted, so if I missed one it probably still made your total completions. Anyway, I'll get it edited and accurate
I think you get a prize for playing through 2/3 of Action 52 by yourself!
That said, if special prizes were to be doled out to people for beating extra-tough games, I'd have to give myself something for knocking off Conan I'll get the list caught up again, should be reflected in a minute or two
I just won an april in Paris on Wheel Of Fortune Family Edition
I don't require all the prizes, just so you know. Too random, and the game itself doesn't keep track of multi-game winnings or anything, so one prize is all that's necessary. Therefore, as far as I'm concerned it's yours. Too bad, I was planning to burn it out quick one of these days. Oh well, I still can do 3 of the 4 next year
Also, I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, but Last Action Hero is a fun ass game! Beats the shit out of the 16-bit versions

The SNES one is terrible, i dont think its even possible to beat without the unlimited life code. I got to the part where you have to kick missiles... The NES version is way better
NES Open Tournament Golf + A52, Haunted Hill,Storm Over The Desert,Robbie Robot and Boss are done. Only 5 more games to go before Action 52 is complete
EDIT: Sharks,Jupiter Scope,Beeps n Blips,Silver Sword and Illuminator are done. Action 52 is finished
What's the difference between black and white text?
I've got the color code at the top of the page, but I'll repeat it anyway since you asked nicely. Black text is for games completed (note the names beside them), green is for games nobody has completed as of my most recent thread update. Red is for games that will not be tracked for one reason or another (reason is noted beside the title), and yellow is for compelation carts that are only partially completed.
PAC-MAN (Namco) -Pac-Man has an interesting history on the NES. It was first released by Tengen as a licensed game in 1987, but when the Tetris fiasco caused Tengen to become an unlicensed game company, the game did not officially exist for the NES in Nintendo's eyes. Tengen released the game as an unlicensed black cart- ridge as well, but it wasn't until Namco, an official Nintendo licensee and the actual makers of Pac-Man themselves, released the game on the NES in 1993 that this all-time classic was considered an "official" NES game. Both the Namco and Tengen (unlicensed and banned licensed versions) are identical, so I will use this ending description for both games. There is no actual ending to this game. It starts out innocent enough, as in the first stage the special item is a cherry, then in Stage 2 it's a strawberry, until you reach Stage 13, where the special item is a blue key. That will be the last new special item you will get in this game. Each time you beat a stage from here on out the blue key keeps showing up and by Stage 20, all 8 of your visible items are blue keys. You will also no longer get the cute intermissions at this point. You will keep playing the same stage over and over, without any hint of the game ending. I kept playing, past Stage 255, where I thought the game might loop or start back over with the cherry special item, but it didn't. Using a cheat which allowed me to only gobble one dot to finish a stage (set address 006A to value 01 if you are playing in an emulator), I motored through the stages and eventually beat over 1000 stages with no hint of anything changing. The built-in Hi-Score for the game is 10000 points, so you can either consider beating that score as beating the game or getting all blue keys as beating it or whatever floats your boat, because this is a repeater if I ever saw one.
He has the same thing for Tengen Pac-Man, and I've heard elsewhere that it's completely identical, so I'll edit the master list to reflect this. You can use either version if need be. My personal inclination is to say beating the default high score would be enough, however, setting all items to blue keys is an interesting alternative. I'll leave that up to the jury (eg the other people playing games right now) to decide what should count as beating the game.
-There are 4 types of games: Arcade, Strange, Big and Mini. Each game has 32
levels. When you beat the 32nd level of each game you get the same
intermission style ending and go back to the options screen.
I am more inclined to say just beating one mode is enough, but again, I'm not sure what everyone else thinks. Regardless, it's not beaten just by beating the high score, sorry. Incidently, Namco Ms Pac Man goes on forever, but loops at level 32, which is why it's tracked differently.
Does getting the #1 score in tengen Tetris considered beating it ?
Tengen Tetris is listed in AdamL's guide. I posted the link above and in the original post (or if not, I SHOULD have). The listing for Tengen Tetris says that it counts out indefinitely, but the game doesn't get any more difficult after level 17, so when the game goes to Level 18 you can call it beaten. Or something like that. I'm too lazy to go to it and check
Man, Its to bad that the only game I have ever beat is Luigi's Manson on the Gamecube
Just takes practice man. Plus some of these games are really easy. Hell, if you want you can give Harlem Globetrotters a whirl. Not the best game, but it was fun (I played tons when I was a kid). Took a few rounds to get good enough to win a game, but that's all it takes to actually beat it. Just win a game. Seriously, there's no ending, and only two teams to choose from, which are functionally identical. If you like basketball (or even if you don't, I don't and I enjoyed it), give it a try.
That's the only game I can think of offhand that I know can be done fairly easily that is still needed for the list, but you could always try games like Felix the Cat or Wacky Races, they're both fairly easy and are really fun to play. To a lesser extent I'd say Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout is as well, but it's far less fun. It starts fun enough, but it's way too long, it just kind of drags on. But I beat that the first time I fired it up, so that's an option too. Even harder games aren't too terrible if you can spot the patterns, it just takes practice to get better at them.

EDIT:
More A52: Operation Full Moon,Megalonia,Lazer League,Billy Bob and Space Dreams.

I hate CIB games, and would hate to make you ship them to Brazil even more.
BTW: You forgot to put Alfredo to the list of beaten games

Last games for today, Action 52: Atmos Quake,Cry Baby,Slashers,Micro Mike,Jigsaw,Meong,Spread
Fire,Time Warp,They Came and Cheetahmen + Talking Super Jeopardy
Do i get a special prize for beating Micro Mike ?
That said, if special prizes were to be doled out to people for beating extra-tough games, I'd have to give myself something for knocking off Conan
And it seems I have Top Gun 2 here. I'll try to clear that one by the end of the night.
I'll dig through my carts to see if I still have anything I can beat.

hey Wiz! back from the dead!? nice to see you here!
It's mainly for this thread. I haven't even browsed the rest of the site, but I felt I was kind of obligated to keep up with this.
What do you consider beating Pac-Man is?
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/916386-nes/faqs/26831 - If it's listed there, I generally use his rulings, although there are exceptions. In the case of Pac-Man: He has the same thing for Tengen Pac-Man, and I've heard elsewhere that it's completely identical, so I'll edit the master list to reflect this.
