I have no clue what my total would be, but a few hundred I'm guessing

Out of what I own I'd say I've beaten a good 150 games, if you take into account every game I have ever played it will be a fair bit higher.

I used to keep note cards with games I'd beaten back in the NES rental days. I probably have them somewhere still, but I stopped keeping track of that sort of thing ages ago.

When I was younger, I beat every game I got because they were all I had. Now that I'm an adult and have multiple game systems, I rarely beat games now. I'm not disappointed because I still enjoy my games and that's all that matters.

Lifetime beaten games: Over 40 most likely. Spanning from NES-current generation. Most of those completions probably happened between junior high and my early years of college.

edit: my definition of beaten is all secrets unlocked (I played a lot of RPGS).

I've beaten roughly 67 games according to my Backloggery.
Like others, I don't count high score games, and I require a final boss or end credits to have a game beaten.

Beaten ever? Not that many compared to what I've owned or currently own.

I'd say less than 200 in my lifetime.

Nope

Probably the same for me I'd guess. I've forgotten probably half the games I played in the 8-bit to 16-bit eras
