I forgot how incredibly short the ending is. This brief animation, credits, and IT'S OVER. What?! I played the final stage SO MANY TIMES! Reward me!!! Solar Jetman is a great, underrated game. It's not easy, and it's not one you can just rush through even if you know what you're doing. I'd put it in my top 50, probably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the concept, the music, and the game play. I actually have never submitted a game completion to the " ... Beat Every Game on X System" thread before. I had just decided that I'd play through this one again since it had been so very long. I saw the thread come up on the main page and checked to see if anyone else had completed it yet. Since no one else did, I thought I'd share Honestly, I might be hooked. I fired up Digger T Rock, which I'd never tried before. I didn't realize it was also by Rare. I think it may take me a while to finish it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tablew/chairs | 242 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Tetris 2- I played through 50 levels and then accidentally hit "end" instead of "retry" so that added several hours to what was already going to be a time consuming completion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was always the plan to collect all the games and beat all the games, just didn't realize when I started it would be such a time consuming endeavor (on both collecting and playing). What's your pace been like? I didn't start keeping track until 2013 but i'm at 574 completions. I imagine I'll start slowing down because at this point I've done most of the quick games so i'm still years from finishing. But since I was 6 and my neighbor told me that his cousin had "every nintendo game and he's beaten all of them" it's been my goal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started in 2011 I was able to do some crazy numbers the first couple years and get nearly half the library down fairly quick. In fall of 2013 I opened a local game store (and still kept my second full time job) so my gaming time was almost non-existent for a bit. Had a second child in 2016 on top of that so it definitely became non-existent. Sold my store and slowed my life back down near the end of 2018. So starting lats year and this year I've been able to keep the pace back up significantly again. Did 118 last year, but was able to knock out many really long of obscure titles so I was really happy with that number. This year is off to a killer start for me as 60 games off my list. I've got a small stack I'm currently working on that I feel will be the hardest games I have left. If I can take down that stack it should just be a matter of time for the rest of the library to fall! I bet if I didn't have that 5 year break in the middle we would have been on a pretty similar pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm close to 400 SNES completions, but progress is down to a near halt. 410-420 is probably where I'll end up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzeshield | 293 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Hey, did I just get the 500th victory with AD&D: Dragonstrike? Beaten on Medium difficulty with the Gold dragon. Last time I played on real hardware, but I've been worried about the stability of my setup, so I played in an emulator this time...which, hilariously, crashed right after I got these screenshots. Glad it waited until after Tiamat was done! BTW I'm at around 200 licensed NES wins (plus 50 unlicensed and/or games from other regions). But some of them need to be replayed for various reasons, e.g. I beat the game when I was a kid but may have used a code or slowdown, so I'm probably at more like 160-170. (Generally, I also don't count the game as beaten until I've completed the highest difficulty setting. Funnily enough, I think Dragonstrike is the only game that's affected at the moment, since I haven't done Hard yet.)

bronzeshield | 293 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Super Pitfall is complete: I assume the Second Quest isn't required. I'd like to like this game, if only it didn't make itself such a hassle. (Yes, I'm aware of the 30th anniversary ROM hack -- haven't tried it, though it looks really nice.)

Kid Dracula | 126 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Yes as long as you power up the entire game is a breeze. Low G man done! Actually really enjoyed this one.

Crabmaster2000 | 500 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Just wanted to give shout outs to Kid Dracula, mbd39 and Table/chairs for helping me out with Xevious, Bump n Jump and Tetris 2 respectively. All three offered some great tips for these games and thanks to their insight probably saved me many hours when I beat these 3 this last week. I know they are already done for the thread, just wanted to say a public thanks to these guys. Really happy that the awesome community spirit that was at Nintendoage migrated over here. Really appreciate the help guys! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that the game is easy, just that it’s actual difficulty pales in comparison to its perception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Taxan released some great ones, particularly the ones developed by KID (GI Joe ARAH, Burai Fighter, & Low G Man). Speaking of KID games, I recently played and beat Trolls in Crazyland (it doesn’t count for the thread, I know). Since it never got a NA release I was playing a repro cart. It’s a pretty good game. I want to like it more, but the problem is the jumping controls were inconsistent - particularly the jumps. Often times the game would register random short jumps, which resulted in not making it across pits and dying. So frustrating. I’m hoping that maybe it is just an issue with the way my particular repro cart was programmed, and not the actual game. I actually just ordered a repro of the Japanese version Doki Doki Yuuenchi from a different company, so I’m hoping this one won’t have that issue.
