I love beating OFF.

I know that this hardly counts, being a black box NES game. But you still do 10 levels (which then loops). This game definitely hasn't aged well, which is a shame since I know how much influential it was. Visuals are quite good, the sense of speed (for a NES game) is impressive and shooting objects and other punks feels good, but, unless you don't keep at third/fourth gear, enemies will just keep annihalate you. Worst part is that you have a screen that tells you when they are reaching your butt and insta-kill you. The solution I found? Stay on borders when they do.

3 more games to reach #80.

 

[SeventhSon]

Whew, I can't believe I did a full main expansion in less than a month. I do still miss the post-game (40 MSQ, with 2 already done), but I still have 13 days left and I'm sure I will manage it.
It's ok and cool to consider each of these expansions as full games here? Because they do feel like full games alright. A Realm Reborn was overwhelming with the slow ass pacing (but worth for the final quests), Heavensward was pretty good and this one is easily a 8/10.
Can't wait for next year to beat Endwalker as well. I heard only ill things about Dawntrail story, but let's see about it.

Almost there for 80 games beat (with an upcoming one I'm gonna beat with a friend)!

 

[Taukyrie Taukyrie]

Donkey Kong Bananza (2025)

Thanks to my boyfriend for letting me experience this game.

A genuinely fun game and a wonderful love letter to the Donkey Kong franchise. You can feel how much passion was put into everything.

Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

 

[Velocista]

I didn't beat a game this year, unfortunately.
But I have a Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2012 save file that I'm about to finish, but my Xbox Game Pass subscription ended and I can't finish it now.

And that motivated me enough to do it as well.

I kinda have left Ice Climbers.

I've also finished Sonic 3 AIR and Robo Blast 2, both on mobile with a pad.

#79. And it's one of the craziest, most original and funniest beat'em up games from the arcade golden era. This game never got re-releases? Surprising considering I remember the AVGN video and thought "yeah, that should highlight it enough for that".

Another game and finally I reached 80, yay!

What emulator did you get this running on?

 

[Nickakyoin]

What emulator did you get this running on?

We've played it on RetroArch with FinalBurn Neo as core. With the RetroCrisis shader filter was awesome.

 

[bjork]

What emulator did you get this running on?

Unless something has changed, this has worked in MAMEUI64 for at least a decade.

Anyway, as for games I finished this year - some I completed what was out at that time, what with early access being a thing and I just haven't gone back yet. That said:
