Finished Battle Squadron, with a very tired one button joystick (moving the stick in circles to drop bombs).
Easier today with WHDLoad and support for a second button to drop bombs. |

Why would it matter if you 'cheated' or not? All you are doing is unfairly discriminating against players that can't play difficult games without cheat mode. Is the intention here to give the skilled players even more accolade than they already have? It's like giving donations to lottery winners, it makes no sense.
Secondly, what constitutes as 'cheating'? Wouldn't it be just as fun or good enough to complete a game with some kind of easier mode? This kind of thread could be about fun you've had and interesting story or insight into a game, instead of celebrating l337 reflexes and superhuman playing skillz. For example, I completed 'Moonstone', and as that game has a tendency to CRASH a lot, it's basically about LUCK whether you can complete it without 'cheating', regardless of your skill. So now even skill wouldn't matter, but my completion is still disqualified from this thread, although I used savestates - not because of lack of skillz, but because the game has a tendency to crash. So I legitimately completed the game, but I did have to use savestates to play around the crashes. Is this considered 'cheating' or not? I frankly can't understand the motivation to want to ONLY know about 'not cheating' - you see just as much (or actually more, as you're more relaxed and free to observe details better) of the game with 'cheat mode' than without. It may be an achievement to complete something 'without cheating', but as I mentioned, some games might make it impossible anyway. Some games have bugs that prevent completion without a crack or cheat that fixes it. So are you saying some games should never be completed, because you literally CAN'T complete them without 'cheating' of some sort? Just relax this 'non-cheating' rule, and I have amazing game completion stories for you. |

This threads only been going for 20 years without such a complaint.
If you have something worth sharing make another thread and call it what games have you finished being a sneaky cheater? |

Now that's honesty.
In my case: not many if I don't count games like point & click adventure games or certain sports titles (what genre is Purple Saturn Day anyway... "weird sports game" I guess). And that is partially because Amiga games can be very, very long besides being difficult... Most puzzle games can have 100-200 levels, ain't nobody got time for that. For some reason I also never managed to complete any RPG on the Amiga itself, not even Dungeon Master. I completed that years later on the PC. So yeah, something like:
Er... erm.... I think that's about it... |

I'm also in the (nearly) none category. Not bothered about it at all, I've never felt the compulsion to finish every game I play.
I'm pretty sure I did Another World & Flashback (also maybe D-Generation & Syndicate, but not 100% sure I've actually finished them), but that'd be it for action games...definitely not my forte. From others genres: Dreamweb, Monkey Island, Dark Queen Of Krynn. Could be few more I forgot about, but that's probably it. |

Personally would love to finish a lot of games, but too many require (for me anyways) hours at a time to sit and play through. I dunno how some of those play through games are done online where they beat games in like 35mins!! WTF That's amazing but I'm not that good. I probably will return to Fire and Ice a some point as well. I got further in that game now than ever before, to the jungle level I believe, but it's tough having to even get to that spot in one sitting. |

Most recent game I finished was Bill's Tomato Game. Took quite a few hours and was largely on the easy side but I went through lots of lives and passwords in the last couple of worlds because the time limits get really tight. Mostly a chill game to keep plugging away at though thanks to passwords. The end boss was hardest. Jumping with the mouse is just GAH! Here's my full list from decades playing. Alien Breed Alien Breed II Alien Breed Special Ed Alien Fish Finger Another World Back to the Future Part II Barbarian II (psygnosis) Batman Battle Squadron Beneath a Steel Sky Bill's Tomato Game The Blues Brothers Celtic Heart The Chaos Engine D/Generation Deluxe Galaga Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk Double Dragon Double Dragon 3 Dyna Blaster F17 Challenge Final Fight Gobliins 2 Golden Axe Hydrozone Jim Power Jump 'n' Roll Leander Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge Lotus III Monkey Island 2 Monster Business Myth: History in the Making The NewZealand Story Nitro Paperboy Pegasus Qwak Robocop 2 Rodland The Secret of Monkey Island SimAnt Skweek Stunt Car Racer Super Cars II Superfrog Switchblade II Syndicate Turrican Turrican II Turrican 3 Wizzy's Quest Zerosphere |
