We've all got at least one old game that is haunting us, don't we? It may be just me because when I played these games I was younger and sucked at games. But regardless, there are 3 games on my mind that have been bothering me lately. All for the same reason: I never beat them before I got rid of/lost them. Here's my 2 games and 1 that I recently beat but was haunting me for a pretty long time.
3.) The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
I got this game after beating LoZ: OT. I knew it was the sequel and thought it would be fun to play. This was when I was about 7 or 8 so I wasn't a really big gamer yet. I hated this game. It frustrated me so much because I never knew what I had to do next and how much time it would take out of the given 3 days. So, I just stopped playing it. I ended up forgetting it existed until I sold my N64 and games so I could get a GC and XBOX. It bothered me that I never actually beat it though. One day, I went into Gamestop looking for some used games. Then I saw it. A copy of The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition (GC)! For those of you who don't know, this collection has the full versions of LoZ (NES), LoZ II: LA (SNES), LoZ: OT (N64), and LoZ: MM (N64). I bought it immediately since I knew it wasn't for sale anywhere else. I was lucky to come across this used copy. I recently just beat it, twice. =P So even though it's not haunting me anymore it still was for a pretty long time.
2.) The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (GB)
Whaddya know? Another Zelda game. This one was the first game I ever played. This is when I really sucked at games. I was like 4 when i got my own gameboy and my sister let me use one of the files on her game. I would play for about two seconds, get nothing done in it, and then get bored and put it away. I was having more fun playing Bonk's Revenge and Kid Dracula. There was just something more entertaining about a caveman ramming things with his large head and a kid who was a vampire than some little green dude running around with a sword. I also want to go back and beat this now. But alas, I found my Gameboy (and Bonk's Revenge and Kid Dracula :-P) but I can't find this game. Will I ever beat it?
1.) Donkey Kong 64 (N64)
This is the big one. The one that has always bothered me because I never beat it. I tried. I really did. I was the best at this game. Better than my brother! Which is huge for me because he's older and gaming is pretty much his life so he owns at any game he gets his hands on. This was, and may still be, my favorite game of all time. The gameplay is great. It's one of those games that's just right in terms of difficulty. I played this game all the time. I had tons of golden bananas. Each Kong had every amazing ability they could get. I beat every single level. I was ready for the final boss fight. All I needed was the final key, just behind a door at the end of the last level. Then, I hit a snag. To open that door, I needed two special coins. The Nintendo Coin and the Rareware Coin. I had gotten the Nintendo Coin by beating the Donkey Kong arcade game in one of the levels. But the Rareware Coin......that was harder. To obtain that coin I found out I had to get a score of like 50000 on another arcade game. I forget the name of it, but it's one with a spaceman who needs to collect pieces of his ship and fuel it each level, all while avoiding evil aliens. I couldn't get it. I was horrible at that game. All i needed was that! Eventually, I gave in and stopped trying because it frustrated me so much. Then, I sold my N64 and this game. Now, I want it back. I can beat it, I know I can. All I need is for Nintendo to release it on the Wii Virtual Console and then I will get it again. And I will beat it!!!
Well, that was a pretty long post. But that's my list of old games I want to beat. What about you guys? Got any old games you never beat but now want to?
