Games Beaten 2012

I've missed this place.

I can't believe you posted tonight, I was just thinking earlier today that I haven't seen you in a long time.

Disney's Aladdin (SNES). A solid 16 bit platformer. Found it in my father's shed on Sunday (I owned it when I was very young and just presumed it was lost forever). Beat it in about 45 minutes last night. A very easy game compared to most Capcom titles. The only "negative" thing I can say about it is that I'm simply not a fan of Disney or Aladdin much (and I generally stay away from licensed titles period), I probably would have enjoyed the game more if it had starred an original Capcom character or something. Ah well, not a big deal.

6/3 flower (PS3)
Another thatgamecompany game that just flow's nicely. Man these guys just make awesome engrossing games. Control is the most perfect use of the sixaxis ever. Really it's a magical, wonderful journey, and should not be missed.

I never posted in either Games Beaten threads, but I couldn't think of a better thread to post my success in...

The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain - PC

I had this game when I was about 10 but I never beat it. I remember never aiming to beat it though. I would just play the puzzles I liked, even if they were already 100% completed. I haven't played this game in years, so I decided I should actually beat it now. And I did. What a great feeling.

I feel like this game isn't too widely known or liked. Any one else ever play this one?

to say I beat Pac-Man is kind of meh. I just mean I survived the five minute "survival" mode that is default. But obviously, this game is all about scoring. At any rate, I think it's a brilliant approach to the Pac-Man formula where one board is continuous rather than having levels. It seems like a really fun score-attack that I'm enjoying playing with my wife who is surprisingly good at it (thanks to training in Mouse Trap). Good stuff.

Do we have a "Game Accomplishment" thread?

It's not much of an accomplishment, but I always wanted to score 100 points in a Mutant League Football Game. The Midway Monsters beat the Sixty Whiners (it's either them or another lousy team in first game of a tournament) 110-0.

Seven tards (that was a typo, but I'm keeping it) away from a 900 yard game. 236 rushing yards and 369 passing yards. Truth be told the Whiners are so easy to beat that this might not even be an accomplishment, but had I not utilized the clock by every means necessary I doubt I would have scored 88 points.

Now to see if 150 points is possible.

This isn't computing for me at all - not following.

Doesn't factor in return yards and turnovers.

I took a few pictures of the stats if you'd like me to post 'em.

I just thought your math really had room for improvement

I gotcha now. Awesome stuff. I prefer the original 16-bit game to the EA Replay on PSP.

Dr. Brain, now there's a character I haven't thought of for a while. Never played that one, but I do remember The Time Warp of Dr. Brain. It was fun. I remember enjoying the Primordial Soup game.
