Games I Have Finished (as far as I can remember)

[A Black Falcon]

... Oh, right, I didn't list Soul Calibur III (PS2) yet... well, I have now. I haven't beaten everything yet, for sure, but have beaten the 'arcade' mode a bunch of times now, so it can be listed. Good game, though Soul Calibur II is definitely better. The character creation mode is fun, but it's annoying how few modes you can use those characters in... and then there's the separate "strategy" mode that has almost no strategy and an entirely different set of createable characters that you can't use outside of that mode. Kind of annoying there. Game balance definitely isn't perfect either. Oh well... it's entertaining anyway. :)


Also, at what point do you say that you've "beaten" games like Daytona USA or Sega Rally on the Saturn? When you finish the main three tracks in Sega Rally in any place? I've done that. Just when you finish in first and unlock the hidden track? Haven't done that yet, I'm stuck with fifth being my best finish and haven't seen any improvement recently. When you beat that too? Supposedly it's really hard, so I doubt that'd be anytime soon...

Or for Daytona... just when you have finished a race in all three in Arcade mode or something? When you beat all three? Does the somewhat easier Saturn mode count too, or do you need to win in both? All I've done so far is beat track 1 in both modes, because the game is quite hard, so I can't say I've beaten it yet... but darnit, it'd have been really nice if there was some kind of clear series, or marks when you win, or anything, to make it clearer when you beat the game... 'just play to get better times and stuff' isn't enough, I want an actual game mode. Awesome game, but... oh well. (But on the other hand the Dreamcast version does have that stuff, but this one's probably more fun anyway because of better controls particularly with the Mission Stick, so I shouldn't complain... but still, it definitely makes it hard to decide when it belongs on a list like this! :)

Of course it's even harder for games that don't really have endings like most first or second generation games, of course... how do you beat Pac-Man, by getting to level 255 and having it freeze? Not many people are able to get that far, to say the least...
