Cool progression with vehicle upgrades and earning new licenses. So what's the percentage of the NES library you've beat? It must be a lot now?

nerdynebraskan | 354 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 If my math is sound, I have clinched the overall completions crown for the the eighth straight year. I'm thinking about doing Ghoul School, Golgo-13, Lone Ranger, and continuing to try my luck at Shadow of the Ninja in the next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only at about 35%. I've worked REALLY hard to get most of the ones I was worried about out of the way. Recently finished Ikari Warriors and Q*Bert. The last 2 games that I have any worries about are Championship Pool (which @BeaIankhas graciously offered to help with) and Mutant Virus. Feels like if I can get those 2 beaten it would just be a matter of time after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't easy, but not as hard as a lot of other games. Mutant Virus is a bitch, though. Edited February 16, 2021 by WashYourFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last level requires the proper use of the super gun and of the counter measures and it takes effing forever. Moving your character around the screen feels pretty unnatural too. You will need some serious patience with that one. That one is truly the last major hurdle for you to achieve your mission. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hearing from you guys I think maybe I was missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you remove the duplicate games though (SMB/DH, World Class Track Meet, DK Classics, etc) you're left with 669 unique games to play. Only difference between my list is I'm including the non-game stuff like Miracle Piano and Taboo.

Gaia Gensouki | 1,073 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 @Bearcat-Doug Yeah, Fun House isn't bad per se, but I thought that some of the later levels can get quite frustrating. Sometimes you only have one attempt to shoot certain discs or the time limit is so short that you basically have to know the layout beforehand in order to have a realistic chance. Maybe it would have been better if the levels had a map or something like that. Also, at this point I'm just trying to find any game at all that I can still beat. The selection of games is getting smaller and smaller after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, my bad, I totally misread that, not sure how I was thinking 667 when it clearly says 677 on this annual thread, lol. Thanks for clarifying. Makes perfect sense the 677 minus 8 duplicate games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriGuy82 | 767 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 @Crabmaster2000 what kind of pace did you run with completing those games, and how long have you been going? I've always toyed with the notion of trying to do the same thing. I don't think I'll ever come close though. I'm like at a 10 new nes games/year pace at best. I think it'd take me about 50 years at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'd take me about 50 years at this point. I started in October 2011, BUT I took a nearly 5 year hiatus to open a business and have my second child. Assuming I can finish by October 2021 I'd say I actively worked on the goal for pretty much 5 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one that frustrates the hell out of me, because there's one level in the middle I can't make it past. I forget which one. Other people don't seem to have too much of a problem with it, though, so I must be doing something dumb. Other than that, it's not too bad. Good luck!
