Games You Finished in 2025

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Finished Rayman Origins, Astro Boy Omega Factor, Gunstar Super/Future Heroes, Tiny Toons Adventure Buster Bad Dream and Hajime no Ippo GBA.

I've played a bit of the Arcade version of Donkey Kong Junior and Donkey Kong 3 (then played DK3 on the NES) but since they don't have a proper ending I don't know if they count.

I've played Scramble on Arcade since it's basically the proto-Gradius (with the missile gimmick in a horizontal shooter) as well as Galaxian and Galaga (but I've played Gameboy and NES Galaxian/Galaga).

I even happened to try Space Invaders via an online arcade emulator to see how the original was (I've only tried the NES port so far).

If you got other very old school shmups as suggestions I'd like to see.

I've played through quite a lot of games so far this year:
Dragon Quest 3 HD 2-D Remake, THPS 1+2, THPS 3 OG (in preperation for 3+4 Remaster), Claire Obscure Expedition 33, Doom The Dark Ages, Parodius Da!, Gokujou Parodius, Jikkiyou Oshiberi Parodius, Sexy Parodius (I'm currently taking a break from editing a review of the Parodius Portable Collection for PSP), Parasite Eve, Steam Hearts: Saturn Tribute Re-release, Clock Tower Rewind, and this one is up for debate since it's a live service game but I did roll credits on Zenless Zone Zero season 1. That's 14 Games so far, Im counting THPS 1+2 as 2 separate campaigns
