Video Games I've Played
This is not a complete list, but it's a list of the games I felt
a sense of accomplishment upon finishing. Many of them, especially
the puzzle ones, Kristina helped play, or at least watched. I also
like some X3 games like Master of Orion, Alpha Centauri, and the Civ series.
In addition, I played and defeated pretty much every shareware version
of the
games put out by Apogee back in the day.
In any case, this list is mostly a reminder to me which games I've played,
because I am getting old enough now I can't always remember.
Tomb Raider Series
- Tomb Raider - (defeated)
- Tomb Raider Unfinished Business - (in progress)
- Last Revelation - (defeated)
- Chronicles - (defeated)
- Angel of Darkness - (defeated)
Squaresoft Games
- Final Fantasy 1 - (Defeated, **). Thought
it was a bit too easy, and the end is annoying -- time paradox!
- Final Fantasy 5 - (Defeated, ****) Took two attempts.
- Finaly Fantasy 6 - started, didn't finish
- Final Fantasy 7 (Defeated *****)
- Final Fantasy 8 (Defeated ****)
- Chrono Trigger (incomplete, ****) Got to the last boss battle,
gave up due to lack of obscure item needed to win.
Metroid Series
- Metroid - (Defeated ****) not fast enough for swimsuit
- Metroid II - (Defeated ***)
- Super Metroid - (Defeated *****) again, not fast enough
for swimsuit, but did save the animals
Indiana Jones Related
- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - (defeated)
weird ending
- Indiana Jones and the Emporer's Tomb - (incomplete ***)
The Mac Version has really painful controls, spazzes
out with joystick at critical times. Have gotten
near end [had to cheat a few times]. Stuck on a really annoying
level where I always fall to my death. I do enjoy smashing furniture though.
Star Trek Related
- Star Trek 25th Anniversary (PC edition) - (Defeated ***)
Voice acting great, puzzles so-so. Has really lousy ending.
Favorite part was getting the ghost of the dead Ensign to say
"Captain, don't melt the snow!"
Monkey Island Series
- The Secret of Monkey Island - (Defeated *****)
- Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge - (Defeated ****)
Bizzarre ending.
- The Curse of Monkey Island - (Defeated *****)
Myst Games
- Myst - (defeated twice, ***)
We had defective first version that told you the wrong way to flip
the switches at the end.
- Riven - (defeated twice, ****)
- Myst III: Exile - (defeated twice, ****)
- Myst IV : Revelation - (defeated, ****)
Beautiful graphics, but was over too quickly.
Also, freaky lion on the curtains songs.
- Myst: Uru Complete Chronicles - (defeated, ***)
Poor interface, tired of kicking things around,
and we kept missing really subtle clues that were needed to win.
- Myst 5: End of Ages - (defeated, **) Yeesha is a pain and a bit
too preachy. Again, way too short.
Other
- Out of this World - (****)
