Strange | 1,700 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Kirby 64 is one of them for me, and damn if I didn’t plow through all of those Pokémon games multiple times as a kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Dr. Mario. I just set it on level 20, high speed and let it rip for hours on end. It only goes up to level 24 but it's my favourite time waste game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was specifically referring to MSG4, but now that I think about it, MGS on PS1 is probably on the list of games I've completed more than any other. I wish there was a way I could tell for sure which game is number 1 for me. Edited January 4, 2021 by TDIRunner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverspoonGaming | 332 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Tecmo Super Bowl. Still playing it almost daily 30 years later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkchylde28 | 1,546 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'd have to say Mega Man 2, as I end up playing it all the way through more or less as a warmup every time I get NES stuff out to play. Been doing it that way since the late 90s, so probably beaten it hundreds of times at this point and still not tired of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,933 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 My guess due to age, availability, and lack of funds to buy so many more games over those years, not to mention the amount of re-releases by Nintendo it would be Super Mario Bros. I know I dipped heaps of hours into other stuff like Tetris, but I think SMB1 still tops it easily. I got my system in the test launch period so I had those two in the box, Hogan's Alley and SMB1 under the tree, and Mario was the one that was the most playable and re-playable given the design of it. Gyromite was not bad, but slow, and blasting away at ducks and perps gets stale after awhile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherDestroysTheGond | 690 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Zelda 2 Mega Man X, Super Mario Bros 3, Rogue Squadron 2, and Link's Awakening aren't too far behind. For RPGs, it's Skies of Arcadia (Legends), and Pokemon Leafgreen/Firered. Edited January 4, 2021 by LutherDestroysTheGond 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Morbis | 2,088 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 For me, either Tecmo Super Bowl or Final Fantasy on NES. I play through TSB a couple times a year with random different teams, and have been doing so for three decades; and with FF, I've beaten it with all 15 no-repeat member parties, and with all six four-of-a-kind parties, and with all six solo characters, and many random other parties, like power house low level/speed parties (Fi,Fi,Rm,Rm for a level 12 completion), and I continue to replay it with random different parties a couple times a year. And, since I'm a super ocd weirdo, I've recorded the particulars of every FF game I've ever played. Phew.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elprincipe | 142 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'd wager I've beaten Castlevania more than 100 times, although I haven't kept track. Got it new more than 30 years ago and have played it through often, including on other formats (GBA re-release, Switch CV collection game, etc.). After that it's hard to say, perhaps NBA Hangtime, Contra, Super C, Mega Man 2 and DuckTales would all be close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arch_8ngel | 1,597 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Excluding the obvious SMB1, it is going to be either Legend of Zelda or Mega Man 2. They were the 2nd and 3rd NES games I had back-in-the-day after the pack-in -- and both are good enough to justify replay over the years. As many times as I STARTED a new game of Final Fantasy or one of the Dragon Warriors -- I definitely only invested the time to BEAT THEM once or twice. (my dad, on the other hand, had a GBC cartridge of DQ 1&2 that he numbered his player-name, and I think he got up to 35 time through each of those at some point :P) Edited January 5, 2021 by arch_8ngel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZCollector | 107 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Mario 64. I've played it to completion every year for what's nearing a decade. It can be a bit rough around the edges at some parts yes, but I think that's part of why I enjoy it so much. It has a charm to it that I can't find in many other games. First played it in 2012 on the Wii VC (I know, but I wasn't around when N64 was big so hopefully that's a pass). Played it since on N64 a couple times, the DS (if you count that as the same thing), the WiiU VC, and 3D All-Stars. Fantastic game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br81zad | 629 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Probably TMNT IV: Turtles in Time for SNES. I've played a ton of Super Mario World and Mega Man X, but with TMNT being so short, I feel like that's probably the one I've beaten the most times. (After all, a full play through is what, like a half hour and some change?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyrulevyse | 151 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Great question. The game I've logged the most hours on is probably Zelda II, but the game I've actually completed/beat the most is either SMB or Dungeon Explorer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyMulk | 64 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Probably Mega Man (1), Streets of Rage 2 or Dragon Force. I play through all of these at least once per year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadethian | 4 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Pokemon Red/Blue. While blue is my favorite of the two, that's the file I don't delete, and my red version is the disposable save. I like to use a gameshark and pick a different weird starter every time. Most recent run I started with a ponyta. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPeaPod | 121 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Must have completed Super Metroid upwards of 300 times by now. Still improving my times. Second most completed game would be Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance. My brother and I used to love playing through that game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
