The Greatest Games You Never Completed

[raphael_is_cool]

I had the idea for this when sorting out boxes of stuff in my room and seeing old games packed away.

Admit it, we've all got them. Now, I’m not talking about games you gave up on because they were rubbish or just boring (eg. Resistance 2’s campaign, Just Cause). I genuinely mean a game you enjoyed but that you never completed for one reason or another and then either forgot about it (usually because it got swept up in the holiday rush or something).

To start I’ve got a few examples to get the ball rolling:

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
I actually enjoyed this game. It was great to play co-op and had all sorts of little touches even a casual MK fan like me could pick up on. I actually got to the last boss, playing on my own, but could not beat him the first few times trying and put it down for a while. Then a bit later I got to playing through it with a friend but we only got about halfway through. I don't think the 360's BC supports it and so I just haven’t picked it up since then.

GRAW 2
Again, the game was good but I bought it along with R6 Vegas not long after I first got my 360 . I think I had too many games to get through that summer (Crackdown, GoW1 etc.) and then Halo 3 came out, and then the holiday releases, and I never really got much further. Picked it up a few months ago but then other new games came out.

Splinter Cell: Double Agent
The idea and story really interested me but I’m just no good at those sorts of games, and I don’t have enough patience to persevere.


That’ll do for now. I’m sure more will follow as I find them.

Feel free to interpret the topic how you will, so if you feel that not doing all the events in a racing game or not doing both good and bad playthroughs of something like KOTOR count then feel free to include them. I know I get distracted halfway through the 'evil' playthrough of every game like that so far.

[Ninjinister]

Every Final Fantasy I've ever played except for FFX. Hell, I've only played FFXII once, and that was just to confirm it worked. I've had it almost 2 years now.

[Candy Kappa]

Golden sun, the neighbors broke the game, so it freezes during last boss fight.

[Peanut]

I think you hit it right away with Shaolin Monks. I loved that game, but never had a chance to finish it. It's something I'd really like to get around to.

Up until recently I would have had a ton of stuff to throw in here, but for a couple months there I bought nothing new and just went back and played games I wanted to beat. Lost Odyssey being the biggest.

At the moment, I'd say the game for me would be Valkyria Chronicles, fantastic game, amazing art-direction, but the chatty anime characters put me off from it. I want to go back and finish it, though.

[Cure]

There's this simple XBLA game I have called Arkadian Warriors. I'm supposed to beat that with Peanut but we never do, haha.

[Peanut]

Oh, God! I totally forgot about Arkadian Warriors. We've sunk some time into that game fo sho. We've got to finish it soon. I think we're on the last one or two dungeons, anyways.

[愛]

I never actually beat the Xenosaga series. Of course, they were pretty bad for gameplay, but the story was really awesome, and the times you DID get to play, it was fun.

[XERO]

I think you hit it right away with Shaolin Monks. I loved that game, but never had a chance to finish it. It's something I'd really like to get around to.

Just wondering, but what's the farthest you ever got in that game?

As for me, I never got to beat Banjo-Kazooie. The farthest I ever gotten was to the Rusty Bucket Bay level, and I had every Jiggy so far. I just had to give it back to my friend. Haven't played it since.

But, I am proud to announce one game I beat 2 weeks ago: Link to the Past. After 16 years, I finally can stamp 'PWND' on that cartridge.8)

I'll put up more when I can think of them.

[Peanut]

Just wondering, but what's the farthest you ever got in that game?

I'd say the last boss I beat was Sub-Zero before I fell out of it. Not sure how far that is.

[X]

I am backlogged 773 games...

http://backloggery.com/main.php?user=megax11

Some games I've had since day 1 Dreamcast, and remain unbeaten.

Shaolin Monks is a sweet game. Still have yet to complete it.

I have all Devil May Cry games, bought day 1, haven't played a single one. They're still new games to me.

So I have a lot of gem's I am sure, that remain unbeaten.

My screenwriting career, and the fact I am currently in the middle of shooting a short film, has me bogged down. Plus working hard to get the new Camaro, leaves only time to buy new games, and hopefully get around to play them sometime in life.

[XERO]

I'd say the last boss I beat was Sub-Zero before I fell out of it. Not sure how far that is.

Just about halfway through. You still got 7-8 more bosses to kill before the battle with Shao Kahn (which is a b*tch).

[Peanut]

Damn, son! I guess I really do need to get back into it then. I've got a pretty long way to go.

[XERO]

Ah, you'll be straight. Just watch out for Kahn's hammer whenever you reach him.

*sighs* You can tell I miss the hell outta this game.

[Peanut]

Do you not have it anymore, or just feel like playing it again?

[XERO]

I had it for a while, but had to sell it, all because I simply needed the 5 bucks. :roll:

I can always use a Ko-Op when the chance presents itself. Playing the game by yourself doesn't do it justice. I tried, but got bored quickly. You just don't have the chance to showoff in front of your friends.

[Hannah]

I never actually finished Resident Evil 2. I remember that I got to the end of the game without the proper weapon and I had no way of going back to get it.

[Ra]

I don't think I've ever completed any game I've ever bought. Save for that 2004 TMNT game from 4Kids (which, upon completion, left me feeling partually happy, and partually unclean). But that doesn't count I'm assuming.

Never completed any Final Fantasy game, Jazz Jack Rabbit, or Ratchet and Clank for starters...

True dat. I got bored in one player, but have completed it twice in Ko-Op... it's worlds better. My brother and I actually started a third playthrough last time he and I got together to play games.

[Brodie]

You're a terrible ****ing person.

That game is like 2 hours long.

[愛]

You're a terrible ****ing person.

That game is like 2 hours long.

Seriously. I can speed run that game now. My fastest time was somewhere near an hour and twenty minutes.

[Hannah]

F*ck you, I was like 13! I DON'T JUDGE YOU.

[愛]

Then go back and beat it now! It'll take you at most two and a half hours if you're slow.

[Hannah]

It wasn't my game! It was Aaron's and HE IS CRAZY.

[愛]

I'll lend you my copy if I have to! You need to beat this game.

[Ra]

DON'T DO IT HE'S GOING TO RAPE YOU.

I think.

Are you?

[愛]

Hey! I'm not some WEIRDO!

......:(

[raphael_is_cool]

Good to see this got people talking. Even if it is about...rape...

Got some more:

GTA: San Andreas
Really liked this game. Just fun to mess about. But I always like to finish the story. I'd done some pretty tough missions (the Area 51-style base one I seem to recall being pretty tricky) but I got stuck on this one mission because it was so stupid. It just made me so mad! I had to completely takeover a rival's turf, which involved killing enough of their guys in a certain area to start a gang war. And then you have to fight a load of guys. Except one area was just freaking road and no enemies would come along to kill in order to trigger the gang war. To confound it further you had to watch out for you brother or whatever and make sure he didn't die. The weapon-targetting was also as dire as ever. Gah. So stupid.

Blinx 2
Was playing this co-op with a friend while at uni and really enjoying it. We fumbled through the pig missions much to our amusement. But World of Warcraft hit and he got hooked on that; after that, he barely touched a bar of soap, let alone a games console. When uni ended it got packed away and I've never gotten it out again.

Every Final Fantasy after VII
- VIII: wasn't great (lolrhyme) and had a stupid last section. Could not be bothered with it and was borrowing it.
- IX: again I was borrowing, but I really got into it and got near the end. I think at the end of the first year of uni I gave it back and had never finished it.
- X: Got near the end. Needed to level up more. Got bored.
- XII: Got bored.

Sorry to say, buddy, but you'll need to do that enough times to actually beat the game. Taking over enough turf leads to the final battle. And if you think this part is hard, wait till you get there.

All I can say is stock up on the AK's and upgrade to Hitman level ASAP.

Gangstas don't give up, dawg, nahmean?!

Represent! :P

[Hannah]

FINE. I'll find a copy.


I also never finished the SNES Animaniacs game (far superior to the Genesis alternative.) It was INSANE but I was terrible at it.

[Archon_Turtle]

Star Ocean for PS2 - I'm sure it was a fantastic game...I just dont have time for 40 hour RPGs anymore.

XegoSaga 2 and 3 - Just weren't as good as the first one.

Front Mission 4 - I LOVE this game, but I can never get around to finishing it

God of War PSP - Got to the last boss, got frustrated, watched the ending online!

[Leo656]

Super Mario RPG for SNES. I always got like 2/3 through it and then got distracted by other games. It's in storage now, so someday I'll finish it.

Final Fantasy VII, same story more or less.

I was always s'posed to go through Shaolin Monks with Mary, but our old XBox crashed before we ever could.

[Peanut]

GTA: San Andreas


I never beat it either, but I won't say it's great. I hated that game for so many reasons, but mostly because it was so bloated with half realized ideas and barren landscapes.

[jalexbrown]

I'd have to say...Final Fantasy VII or Xenogears (I see a lot of people mentioning Xenosaga; have any of you ever tried Xenogears?). Amazingly, those two games are two of my favorite games that I've ever played. Every time I start to get far into them, though, something else catches my eye and I get distracted.

[Ninjinister]

I just realized yesterday, after hearing about the Gold & Silver remakes, that I never finished Leaf Green. Oi.

I have played Xenogears, and it is one of my favorite games of all time, despite being obviously cut short, because disc two is 30 minutes of dialog and boss fights in between.

[ToTheNines]

Spider-Man on the GBA. That bastard Kraven kept drinkin something that put his health back up so I ditched it after 100 attempts.

Half-Life 2. My game got erased and I'm too much of a puss to go through Ravenholm ever again.

[Ryona]

I think the only games I truly want to ever beat is Ninja Gaiden for NES. I've actually forbid myself from playing the others until I beat the first one! Though I honestly haven't touched it for quite a while now.

And then there's "N", a game I downloaded online where you play as a stickfigure, running through mazes and avoiding killer robots.
The game has 100 episodes, each with 5 levels. I actually got to fourty-something not too long ago, then somehow my saved **** got deleted. Had to start all over again and now I'm at thirty-something...
**** me.

[Ra]

Oh god. N! I love that game. I'm crap at it though. Terrible at dodging the homing devices.

[Scandia]

- I never beat X-Death in FF5. Hence I never finished the game.

- Stopped relatively early on in Suikoden III, Final Fantasy XII, and Xenosaga.

Nowadays, due to my job being so intellectually stimulating (a VERY good thing), I do not have much brainpower left for RPGs. So I decided I was never going to be able to finish those games. Or probably replay my fave RPGs from the beginning.

[Peanut]

Hahahah what the f*ck? Your job is too intellectually stimulating for you to be able to play RPG's? I'm usually half asleep while I play them.

[raphael_is_cool]

As Peanut probably knows, I am currently working on Lost Odyssey. One year later and I'm on the last disc, a little bit in. I will finish it someday!

I almost forgot I have not finished Oblivion either. I got caught up in so many damn sidequests and I was playing it on my crappy laptop that as things got more hectic later it just couldn't handle it and I had to drop the resolution right down to 'ugly'. Then I got distracted by other games and forgot what I was doing. I'm hoping one day I'll get a new laptop/PC and have time to finish that as well as start Fallout 3.

Failing that I may have to forego the awesome mods and play it on a console. And Fallout 3 does not have many major mods, or at least not any that I am aware of...yet.

[Peanut]

As Peanut probably knows, I am currently working on Lost Odyssey. One year later and I'm on the last disc, a little bit in. I will finish it someday!

Oh, God. I think LO may be the ultimate "I'll get back to it someday!" RPG. Everyone I know who's played it has totally gotten to that point. I'm glad I finally beat it, though. Really great game, and the ending was awesome.

[raphael_is_cool]

Yeah. I really like it. I think the simplicity and accessibility of it (compared to other RPGs) is what actually makes it so easy to put down and pick up again (as opposed to the FF games). My favourite part of the game is the short stories. I'm always pleased when I unlock a new one of those.

[Peanut]

That totally is the thing about it. I could fall out of it for a half a year and then come back and get right into it again. Quite unlike most other RPG's where I'd stop playing for a short time, then come back and be completely confused and overwhelmed.

[Cure]

For realz, LO is awesome, and so are the short stories.

[AquaParade]

That totally is the thing about it. I could fall out of it for a half a year and then come back and get right into it again. Quite unlike most other RPG's where I'd stop playing for a short time, then come back and be completely confused and overwhelmed.

Ah, I lost a lot of great rpg's to that effect. Final Fantasy 10, Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9, Tales of Vesperia(Really hope I go back to this one someday, though not exactly sure why)...Can I count mega man legends? :P
I guess with rpg's, I can't play too much of them without needing something to break it up, and I just get too lazy to try and figure out what the hell is going on a month later. Anyways...

Devil May Cry 4 - Loved the trilogy on ps2 (Yes,yes, we all know the second one sucked), but after playing DMC4 for only a couple of hours, and not feeling that satisfied, I had to go straight back to playing the crap out of Ninja Gaiden 2, which I purchased around the same time, maybe a tad before...Lately I've been thinking about going back to complete this one, because playing God of war 2 has gotten me in that flashy action mood( Which brings me to my next point) Anyone put down DMC4 only to come back and have a hell of a lot of fun? Considering picking it up again, but I'd rather have some goold ol technodrome feedback from fans of the trilogy first.

So, this next game I did not stop playing, although maybe I should have...

God of War 2 - Bought it last week. I got all the way to the "Steeds of Time"(ok not that far, but considering the following...), and there was a glitch. These chains that served as a bridge for me, dissapeared everytime I completed a puzzle before hand. Basically, the game left me stranded on an island, only to die everytime i tried to jumo across it. For a while I considered putting it away for a while, and just playing it again in six months. Curiosity got the best of me, and last night I decided I was having way too much fun with it to not start all over right away, in hopes of avoiding that same glitch. This game better be worth it!8)

Dude, you have no IDEA about the awesomeness that is God of War II.

That glitch is punishment. Straight from the fires of Hades.

Finish the game if you can. I guarantee you'll have a blast. Just wait until you reach Atlas. Friggin' beautiful.:cry:

[raphael_is_cool]

Damn you, AquaParade, you just reminded me of two other unfinished games!

God of War
Got to the last boss and there is a really retarded bit where you're not really fighting the boss as such (we all know what it is) and I just could not do it. I refused to lower the difficulty just to do it, having suffered through pretty much the whole game twice courtesy of some stupid glitch. That game should've been more about the 'war' than the stupid platforming and 'puzzle' bits.

Ninja Gaiden: Black
Yes, yes. This game is hard. I was actually making my way through it and got to a boss I had to retry on (it was some electric worm thing, I think). I was doing pretty well up to then and...I just never retried. I can't remember why. I just moved on to other games. Really must pick this up again some day. Some day!

[Peanut]

I rocked God of War many many times. Love that game so much and can't wait for the 3rd.

As for Ninja Gaiden, I got rid of my original Xbox copy, and the next time I played the game again was Sigma on the PS3. I just can't get into it. When it's more traditional Ninja enemies and environments, I'm totally into it, but when it switches away to fighting ugly designed monsters and dudes with machine guns, I'm totally over it.

Ah, I lost a lot of great rpg's to that effect. Final Fantasy 10, Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9, Tales of Vesperia(Really hope I go back to this one someday, though not exactly sure why)...Can I count mega man legends?

Tales of Vesperia, to me, was the worst offender of this curse. I had gotten a good 7 or 8 hours into it the first time I played it, then fell out of it for other games. It sat on my shelf and taunted me for a long time, but I finally picked it back up. Unfortunately, I was so f*cking confused about everything that I decided to restart from the beginning. I'm on the last dungeon now, but I dropped it again for various other games. I'll probably go back and finish it for good this week.

[XERO]

Gah, you guys are breakin' my heart. You just had to mention the Gaiden, did ya?!

[AquaParade]

Gah, you guys are breakin' my heart. You just had to mention the Gaiden, did ya?!

You may be pleased to hear that I exchanged my copy of god of war 2 for one that actually works. I am loving the extra couple hours I've gotten into it.....

Now take my advice and complete whatever of the Ninja Gaiden series you can. Especially the first one. Definitely one of my favorite series. If your having trouble, I suggest practicing over and over on a level, or something to the effect of practicing your moves, because once you can really handle the game, its a total blast.

[Spitfire]

I never beat Okami. I ended up lending it to a friend who never gave it back to me. I actually liked the game when I was playing it. It's been so long though I don't know I'd enjoy it now.

I'm far from a fan of any of the Final Fantasy games but a long while back I bought 7 and played through almost all of the first disk then I got stuck and never picked it back up again. This was before internet was a big resource for me and strategy guides were 20 bucks, which is what the game itself cost.

I never played through all of Shadow of the Colossus either. A friend of mine had it and he used to play it at my house a lot. I saw him beat it quite a few times but I only played through a few of the bosses myself.

And a game I am ashamed I never played is God of War. I was such a Devil May Cry fanboy I refused to. However the game looks epic and when I have some spare cash I'm going to buy 1 and 2.

Devil May Cry Rant
Devil May Cry 4 sucked, 3 was barely passable, and 2 is a huge joke. The only good one in the series is the first one and it hasn't withstood the test of time. So until maybe they remake the first one I have to say my love for that series is completely gone. While their at it they can never make another one again. The voice acting is laughably bad in every game, so is the dialogue. They also make Dante more ridiculous looking in every title. He's done everything from promote the Diesel clothing line to dressing like he's a member of a gay fashion show. He's also bi-polar as hell. He's a smart ass in the first game, some emo douche who barely talks in the second one, a spaz who does stupid **** like use a missile as a surf board in 3, and in the fourth one he's supposed to be the good guy yet he treats the other main character whose trying to help like crap for no reason. Don't even get me started on Nero he looks so much like Dante he might as well be him. That game was such a mess in general. They just took the levels you played as Nero and copy pasted them and changed a few things so you can do it as Dante.

Alright I'm done ranting.

[XERO]

Wow, I never thought I'd see that from you, sir.

[Spitfire]

Wow, I never thought I'd see that from you, sir.

I'd abandoned the series awhile ago, when 4 came out, I felt now was an appropriate time to vocalize it.

Sorry to hear that.

I just remembered that I never completed Majora's Mask. And given the chances of actually finding that game, I probably never will.

Got stuck on non-fun tasks (can't remember what) and never finished it.

Legend of Dargoon
Got pretty far then lost the save and never got back to were I was.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
Was being chased by something and could never out run the thing (hate running for dear life moments). Always wanted to finish the game though.

MS Saga: A New Dawn
I'm sure I'm the only person here that likes this game. Okay, I really have a love/hate relationship with this game. Damn Kamikaze Ravens. Got to the final dungeon last time I played, just never finshed it.

Zelda Ocarina of Time
Got to the final boss, but I can't hit the broad side of a barn with that damn bow. Great story, very frustrating game. I dare not touch Majora's Mask.

Silent Hill (PS): The damn thing froze right in the middle of the fight with the woman cop
Jurassic Park (SNES): Just couldn't for the life of me figure out how to finish it.
Rayman (PS): Not necessarily one of the best, just one I couldn't beat.

[raphael_is_cool]

I haven't shown my face around here for a while, so here are some more!

Freedom Force
Loved this game all those years ago back at uni. I liked how it took the golden age of comics and gave it a sort of tactical slant. I remember it was a lot of fun having your Captain America-style guy shouting 'FOR JUSTICE!' or 'FOR LIBERTY!' before a comical 'THWACK!' sound as he punched some goon with a gun; or being able to pick up cars or lampposts and smack baddies with them.

I think I had gotten quite far but the game did begin to get quite hard and I got into a quandary over which characters to take into battle (I disliked that limitation) to earn experience points. I eventually got caught up in uni work and other games and never replayed it. I think I picked up the sequel (vs. The Third Reich) a couple of years back but I have never even installed that.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate
I think I stopped this one for similar reasons. I had gotten quite far and things were getting tough but I also didn't like to see my guys being killed off (again each was gaining separate experience points and such) and one mission I spent ages trying to do without losing a guy. But there was just no way to do this mission without losing at least one marine (I was anal like that...) Then just got caught up in making my own maps and doing skirmishes and forgot about it.

[Lordmylar06]

Call of Duty 4- I hate playing the campaign, I'm just a multi-player guy on most shooters, but I can't even bring myself to play through.

Mega Man X collection- I've beaten 1-3 before on my SNES, but some of those later MegaMan X games were tough. Still can't beat 'em.

Mass Effect- Guilty. I just explore stuff and do side quests every time.

[Cipher]

Mega Man X collection- I've beaten 1-3 before on my SNES, but some of those later MegaMan X games were tough. Still can't beat 'em.I'm the exact opposite. I've beaten all three Playstation titles, but the SNES games are brutal. To this day, I've yet to complete a single one.

And a big LOL to Friday the 13th. That game used to freak me out when I was a kid. F*cking Jason kept popping up randomly and making me wanna turn the game off. :P

Yes me too even scarier when i fought jasons mother (medusa or levatating head) in the caves.

[XERO]

Yeah, I never got that far. Was too busy being traumatized at the time.

Another great game is Gunsmoke i got the last level but i only need a wanted poster to fight the boss. I don't have enough money to buy a wanted poster thus i have to repeat the stage. I once repeated the stage 3times before going game over.

I've never finished a Mega Man game. Heck, there are a lot of great games I've never completed. Every time I come close, one of three things happens: my save for that game gets erased by something stupid, I have to sell the game/system, or Castlevania (any game in the series) calls my name and I decide to play it instead. That's sad. I should be punished and have my gamer card taken away.

[XERO]

I just remembered another one. PaRappa the Rapper.

[AquaParade]

Oddworld Strangers Wrath...Can't remember quite why I stopped playing...I think I got rid of my xbox. Miss that game. Is it backwards compatible?

And when will Otogi be?!?

[Cure]

Parappa's like an hour long.

[XERO]

Yeah, but it wasn't the length. It was the disk. Too messed up to load.

[saiyan_monkey]

Most likely not one of the greatest games.

-Drakengard- on PS2

Might not be the best HOWEVER I found it had some good game play, original story and a bad ass dragon to slaughter the masses with. All in all Im up to getting the last 2 weapons which will unlock the last chapter which will then lead to the last ending but what a prick of a time trying to get them. Ive tried many times but it always leads to nothing. I havent tried in about 4months and I think I might need to level my character out to max but who knows.

[Roland]

A friend of mine had the cellphone game of drakengard. He liked it and i think he finished the game. I'll ask him again. "face my dragon fire!"

[Lordmylar06]

I never finished Startropics for NES. I'm so ashamed. It was a great game, I just never set the time aside to finish it. Maybe I need to dust off the old NES?

I say yes, being that I'm the only guy here that loves the hell out of that game.

How far did you get?

It's been so long that all I remember was beating the snot out of stuff with a yo-yo. Was Startropics 2 any good?

Yeah, it was pretty good. MORE inproved from the first game, as the controls are tighter and you can attack, walk, and jump diagonally now. Not only that, you have 2 main weapons this time. Axes, daggers, and katanas replace the yo-yo, and you learn a magic attack called the Psychic Shock Wave.

Whenever you get a chance, get back to playing it, man. That's my suggestion. :)

Oh, man, I remember all that. What's more, is the katana was given to you by Di Vinci. As a kid, I always thought that have been a subtle TMNT reference.

Of course it was.:D

I swear I'll keep playing those games 'till I die. I love 'em that much.

Starcraft

I have finished this game but there's a bonus stage I can never seem to unlock. I have to do 1 stage with 5mins+ left on the counter yet my best time left is 3mins.

[Voltron]

Is it that air lift mission for the terrans? That thing is a bitch.

[Ecto Jedi]

Grand Theft Auto III. F*ck that end mission.

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!. Super Mario Bros. And Battletoads.

[saiyan_monkey]

Is it that air lift mission for the terrans? That thing is a bitch.

No its a Zerg mission on the expansion between stages 9 & 10. Im just playing different Zerg missions to build up a bit more skill. I just wanna play the stage badly.

[Barkworm]

Mario 64. I played till the final boss battle twice and then decided that I didn't like it that much for some reason. Twice.

Alex Kidd for Master System II. I loved the game, but it got too hard for me in the end. Plus, back then, you couldn't save the game, so it made things a lot harder.

Cool i still have master system 2 with alex the kidd as built in (it still works) . Yeah agree i enjoy that game alot. Did you see there are some special areas? Ps i finish the game (if you need help) without save game.

Wow! I remember playing that game for hours, setting it in "pause" for lunch and then back to it. That was ages ago, so if I ever saw the special areas, I can't remember now. I haven't got my Master System II anymore, and I can't even remember what happened to it, but I would definitely be playing Alex Kidd right now if I still had it. I think that the last thing I got to play in the game was some kind of invisible castle, and as I recall now, I think I saw the princess in some sort cage that couldn't be broken or opened anyhow.

I'm curious now, Roland! What happened in the end?

[Roland]

well in that invisible castle you fight jakern the great i think he called. first ching chong chi match then after you won fight him for real and then save then princess/queen. Then you go to the next level to get crown. You use the tablet you got in the one level to figure the puzzle out to get the crown. You have to walk over bloks in the right sequence to get the crown. If you got the crown they give you the ending in written format. I think in the ending they say alex becomes king and that jakern is deafeted and they don't know where the king is. I try to play the game tommorow to just check. One special area is under the 1st octopus in the 3rd stage i think but the 1st total water level.

[Oculus Orbus]

Thanks Roland. So I guess I was pretty close to the end...

[Roland]

747
Here where you fight the evil dude i died in the face of so this is how far i got today. Im a bit rusty still.

[Voltron]

Crono Trigger and Final Fantasy X.

Just. . .never went all the way. I'm literally at the final boss in both.

[Roland]

Got to take friday the 13th off because i finished the game. There are only 3 stages.
