Tanooki | 4,933 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 It's one thing then or now to buy into it and say you have the collection, but to actually bother with not just the easy gems but the utter shite...and finish everything is on a unique level few to nearly none can make claim to. I'm not surprised that took 10 years, and only with licensed too. Now go back and re-enjoy Hydlide, ...or get cracking on the unlicensed stuff. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to that 10 years, there was about a 5 years hiatus in the middle where I started/ran/sold my own business and had a second child before I got back to it. So it wasn't 10 years of straight playing. Hydlide was actually a childhood game for me that I could never figure out. That one felt exceptionally good to conquer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really going to reflect, research and replay some stuff and do my best to come up with a "hardest NES games" list because ALL of the ones currently out there are very very bad. Keep an eye out for that, but I'll need some time to do it up properly. As for your second question about broken games, never. That was a big part of the goal, to beat them legitimately with what the developers provided. So if I ran into bugs or glitches I simply had to figure out how to deal with or avoid them. Id love to see this list! Yeah I just saw Pat/Ian talk about some list and its a joke. Its made by people who never dove in deep to the library. "Oh F13 is so hard". Hell I beat it the first time I played it! I dont know if I missed it but what was the final game? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final game was Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade (Ubisoft) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 7,543 Graphics Team · Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 @Crabmaster2000 I still can't wrap my brain around this. You're insane haha. What were the last 10 or so games? And did you decide to tackle the library in any specific order? -CasualCart 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were the last 10 or so games? And did you decide to tackle the library in any specific order? -CasualCart Didn't tackle them in a specific order, but I made little themes for myself from time to time. Early on I started with a lot of stuff I was familiar with. After the first 100 I grabbed games off of top hardest NES games lists to try (those lists are all bad and wrong), I did a stretch were I played game shows, another one where I only played movie licensed games for a while, did the rarest and most expensive carts for a bit, lumped the power pad games together and a lot of the zapper games as well, started this year only doing strategy games. Those were fun little ways to mix it up and keep it interesting. Final 10 were: 660 - Jack Nicklaus' Major Championship Golf 661 - Times of Lore 662 - Uninvited 663 - Super Glove Ball 664 - Clash at Demonhead 665 - Miracle Piano Teaching System 666 - Mach Rider 667 - Dungeon Magic 668 - The Immortal 669 - Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade (Ubisoft) 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that the jumping is faster than walking even though you don't get a lot of opportunities to take good advantage of that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Wow! I tried to do this in 2016 and I only got to maybe a quarter, maybe even only a fifth of the way there before I threw in the towel.

ScaryD | 237 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Awesome achievement. I couldn't imagine completing the whole NES library. There are a lot of solid titles but there are some real stinkers to have to navigate through as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elprincipe | 142 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 That's an achievement to be proud of! So very awesome to hear someone getting through them all - I know there are a lot that I just would never have the patience to go through (such as the JRPGs...zzz). Really interested to hear which you feel are the most challenging as you have a unique perspective. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Amazing feat really when you think about it. How high could the number of people who have beaten every NES game be? Let alone on original hardware?
