What's the oldest game you have that you still haven't finished?

Kargath · 03-08-2008, 05:53 AM

The first game I ever bought, Descent.

Now it'll take some serious screwing around with DosBOX before I can even give it another go >_>

How about you?

I am nobody · 03-08-2008, 06:04 AM

Oldest as in how long I've owned it or oldest as in release date?

Owned: Link's Awakening. I'm almost there, but I've had it for about eight years.

Release Date: Super Mario Bros. But I've only had it for about two months and haven't been playing it a lot.

Kargath · 03-08-2008, 06:13 AM

^Well ... both, if you can remember them, but preferentially the one you've had the longest.

Wyborn · 03-08-2008, 12:52 PM

My father's had Super Mario Bros. since before I was born.

....I still haven't beaten it in any form.

Bomby · 03-08-2008, 12:58 PM

Almost all of them.

Swordmaster Link · 03-08-2008, 01:18 PM

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)

Hardest.Game.Ever.

Same here, except it was my mother.

Pokemon Blue was my first game. Beaten the Elite Four and such, but still haven't caught 'em all.

TheEvilDM · 03-08-2008, 02:02 PM

It's pathetic to admit but: FF4. I came late to the gaming party.

Every damn time I try to replay it, something happens *the consol glitches and erases a file, it gets borrowed and not returned, it gets melted in a tragic accident, stolen..etc. The world will not allow me to finish this game.

Redshirt · 03-08-2008, 03:26 PM

Ha, I still haven't beat FF1(not that I can't I'm just lazy).

Luigiman7 · 03-08-2008, 04:11 PM

SSBM. I still haven't unlocked Sonic.

***Ace Mercury*** · 03-08-2008, 04:12 PM

Either Bahamut Lagoon or FFIV. =\

Robotazy · 03-08-2008, 04:27 PM

Tetris, for the Game Boy.

**Valigarmander** · 03-08-2008, 05:30 PM

Final Fantasy V.

I've had it since I was 8 or something. Still never finished.

**Crazyswordsman** · 03-08-2008, 09:43 PM

Either Gauntlet II or Double Dragon, both for the NES. -CSM

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 03-08-2008, 10:32 PM

Most of the games I own, in fact, I have not beaten.

***Booyakasha*** · 03-08-2008, 10:43 PM

Probably some piece of crap I could care less about, like 'Star Wars' (NES).

Blake · 03-08-2008, 10:59 PM

Yeah I go back to NES. Last summer I beat oldschool LOZ (with some guidework unfortunately, but seriously, how would I find levels 7-9 without it?)

Super Mario Bros 2. Frickin' hard. Super Mario 1 as well. I got to world 8 with the massive blooper attack (8-2)? That's as far as I got. I probably coulda beat that sucked huh?

**Galefore** · 03-11-2008, 09:44 PM
