Games Beaten 2015

[ExedExes]

(now linked for a certain member's convenience! Truth be told, not too difficult with the number of games beaten this year so far)

1. Call of Duty United Offensive Expansion Pack - PC (January 16)
2. Dead To Rights - Gamecube (January 24)
3. River City Ransom EX - GBA (February 21)
4. Call of Duty 2 - PC (February 28) (link missing due to this game's post being wiped during the great RB server move)
5. *NEW* Quake - PC (March 31)

This is more like a re-beat, because I played through this game in the magical summer of 1997. I don't remember if I went through all the episodes or not. As an FPS fan it was nice to return to something so refreshingly simple but still not being a total chore to play, thanks to the awesome DarkPlaces mod, the features to improve graphics and control were a huge plus, and the ability to add a crosshair was very useful. It brought new life to this FPS classic.

Anyone play the original Zaxxon? I have it on the 2nd gen trio (Atari 2600 / Intellivision / ColecoVision) but haven't sunk much time into it. May be one to try out later.

Technically I also have an ancient TRS-80 copy as well, but no way to play it.

I was a Coleco kid in the 80s. I grew up on Zaxxon. I loved it back in the day. It's kind of hard to adapt to the isometric perspective today.

I just beat Ninja Gaiden on the Nintendo machine.

I would pull hairs if I had any!

Tecmo is real Villain here!

OK, this is going to sound selfish, but... Could those of you who are tracking your completions and copying your list forward with every post please make each game title a link to the past post where you reviewed it?

Sure! That's a great idea.

Also, I wanted to share something random with you all. Last night I dreamt I found a Toys R' Us that was still selling new, sealed Sega Genesis games. (Note: were those even shrink-wrapped in real life? I got most of mine second-hand and don't remember.) I picked up a copy of Toejam & Earl, because in this dream there had been a re-release of the game in 1995 that included different graphics and a save function (?!) that I didn't want to pass up. I brought it home, beat it, then logged in here to spread the word about the Toys R' Us and post about my recent completion. The dream ended as I was filling out a new entry in this thread and speculating about the potential lameness of having basically the same game appear in my list three times.

Sometimes I love dreams like that, then hate them, because they end... I dreamed I found a retro store that had every NES game I'd ever wanted, couldn't buy anything there for whatever reason, then when I tried to find it again, I couldn't. And then I woke up with an acute feeling of loss and disappointment.

Yes, it's ridiculous, but man, dreams are often ridiculous.

OK, this is going to sound selfish, but... Could those of you who are tracking your completions and copying your list forward with every post please make each game title a link to the past post where you reviewed it? I really enjoy reading everyone's brief impressions of the games they are playing, but it's a real pain sometimes to go back through the thread.

I have no idea if anything I have beaten this year interests you, but yeah, if you check my last post in this thread about Dark Forces II, all titles are now links back to that post.

Arcade original? Regularly.

2600 port? Yes. Perspective is lost but the idea (as well as the action) are still there.

Also...you know you can unlock the arcade original on Sonic's Ultimate Genesis collection, right? (You need to collect five bonus coins in Decap Attack to unlock it.)

I know! I posted on one thread about this last year. I had an awesome dream about finding a TG16 - I think. Awoke and was really bummed.
