My 25^th birthday’s coming up soon, so I thought I might as well list off every video game I’ve beaten in my life. This list does not include online flash games, no Tiger Electronic games, no Team Fortress 2 or Fortnite, no speedrun of Cookie Clicker, just all the official, single-player games that I have beaten (or in rare cases like with a few PC games, at least played extensively, as a few of the games listed can not technically be beaten) across every gaming platform I’ve played since I was a young kid.

I do like some variety. Yes, I have played well over 150 games in my almost two decades of playing video games and you can infer some of my tastes from the list. Most notable is my utter disdain for Final Fantasy, which is so great that I am playing and enjoying the remake of VII right now. But seriously, I can’t wait to play all of it and hate how much the remake has been split into multiple games.

Also notable is that most of the games I’ve played are NES games. I didn’t use save states on an emulator to beat a single one, I just practiced them a lot. I’ve had a lot of free time throughout my life. If I didn’t, there’s no way I would’ve completed a good lot of these games multiple times, some over ten times. It’s just what I enjoy.
