Legendary Wings is done.

Experiences like Doyce's seem typical of those who are even crazy enough to make the attempt at Championship Pool, so yeah I stand by my hyperbole on Mae's performance.

Also, Tecmo Bowl is done. I played with the Vikings, and I really regretted it. They were so weak I lost a couple of games along the way and had to continue. The Raiders even blew me out in the second to last game. I only beat them in the rematch by 1 point when I blocked a PAT on one of their touchdowns.

First, a question: What are you?! An android? A god?

But since you're some kind of gaming savant, here are some of the other titans of the NES catalog:

1943 (mainly for the final boss rush), Adventure Island, Cobra Triangle, Destination Earth Star, Dragon Power, High Speed Pinball, Ikari Warriors, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Krusty's Fun House, Kung Fu Heroes, Last Starfighter, Lemmings, Metal Mech, Mission: Impossible, Mutant Virus, Pirates!, Q*Bert, Rally Bike, Silkworm, Smash TV, Solomon's Key, Super Spy Hunter, Tetris 2, To the Earth (Zapper required), Track & Field II, Treasure Master, and Werewolf.

You could also look for games that are either 10s or have 4+ pain points attached to them. Something worth 4 or 5 bonus points has failed to be completed almost every year of this challenge. Of course, many of those games are more of the long and tedious variety so it depends on how much time you want to commit to them.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is done.

Just noticed Lunar Pool is up to 10 now. Wasn't that a 6 a few years ago?

That does tend to happen when games don't get beaten...

This game was not fun at all! Lol

Warios woods done!
 

This makes me sad on two levels: 1) it was one of my absolute favorites left on the list and 2) you didn't even enjoy it! Save it for me next year!

Wolverine is done.

Kick Master is done.

Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle is done.

StarTropics is done. Another classic Nintendo game that I have never even played before. I enjoyed it quite a lot despite a few unfair or annoying passages. Some levels were also really really tough especially the final level and its boss battles had me swearing a few times.

 

I share your frustration with the sadism of the level design in StarTropics. It's really unusual for a first-party Nintendo release.

Also, the Adventures of Tom Sawyer is done. I dedicate this clear to the memory of Rush drummer Neal Peart.

Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak is done.

Is there any way of knowing what games carry bonus points? I've gotten some, but don't know which games they came from. If I knew, I might choose the games/order taking that into consideration. 

In the top post, you will see some games that look like this:

8	1	8 Eyes

For instance, 8 Eyes is worth 9 points this year. Its normal score is 8, but because it has not been beaten in one previous year it's also worth 1 bonus/pain point. That's why certain games have two numbers next to them.

Also, Little Samson is done.

Puss N Boots is done.
