MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Re: Has anyone ever beaten every arcade game in MAME?

Yea, maybe I could have worded the question better.

And I also do not plan nor want to beat every game. When I said that I hoped to achieve this feat, I worded it wrong. There are some genres that I do not like very much. So the games in those genres that I don't like, I don't/won't play. And in the genres that I do enjoy, if I don't enjoy a particular game in that genre, than I'm not going to force myself to play it just so I can see the ending sequence or just so I can chalk it up as one more game that I finished. I only play games that I enjoy playing.

I like exploring new and obscure arcade games.

Basically, the responses from people that I was looking for were responses such as the amount of games they have beaten/seen the ending sequence. Or if someone has almost 'finished' a particular genre.

I'm not being technical about this. Whether you used cheats on those games or not. Whatever, it doesn't matter. If you've 'finished' a particular genre except a few games because they were too hard, boring, not fun, etc., then you can say that you practically 'finished' that genre. Like I said, I'm not being technical about it.

Yes, while playing arcade games, I try to use the least amount of coins. The old "Golden Era" games, I try to see how far I can get with the default 3 lives or one coin.

After hearing the responses that I was looking for, I was going to follow up with questions such as:

What game in that genre did you find the most difficult?
What game did you find the most rediculous?
What game did you enjoy the most?
Etc...

I like to hear the opinions of people that have played most of a certain library or genre. For example, people who have 'finished' the entire NES library. I like to hear their opinions on NES games because they have played almost every NES game. And not only did they play almost every game, but they played each game for longer than a few minutes. Because if they 'finished' the game, that means they played it for a long enough time that they can have a solid opinion of the game and all the various aspects of the game.
