  1. Still trying to finish a couple games by gasmonso · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been using MAME to play some old games. After 15 years, I still can't finish Rolling Thunder! What an awesome game that was. I did however finish Ikari Warriors. Damn, I'm old :(

  2. My favorite game ending by Henry+V+.009 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I beat Infocom's game Enchanter by (somewhat accidently) exploiting a couple of game bugs. So I didn't have full points at the end. This wasn't ever supposed to happen of course, but there was still a cool ending where the circle of Enchanters expressed vague disappointment in my deeds, saying that "something was missing."

    Duke Nukem 3D

    Sadly the best bit isn't there, where Duke rips off the head of the Overlord and shits down his neck !!

    Ending to end all endings.

    Time ticks away until I can play it again :

    "Mission Complete"

    "You are the greatest player"

    "Password: TGL"

    From The Guardian Legend, an excellent top-down platformer plus vertical shooter. I spent months playing that game, gave up, then picked it up again and finally beat it. Too bad the ending sucked, the game is great.

    Then there's the ending from Wizards & Warriors. FUN, FUN game, but after you beat the final boss...you save yet another maiden, and that's it. Yay, you get to put in your high score, which will be reset when you turn off the NES! I'm so excited!

    Ikari Warriors also had a cheesy ending.
