Revision as of 11:01, 15 June 2020
This is a list of video games that I have come very close to beating (usually to the end boss or similar), but could never finish. For most of these games, I gave up either because I simply couldn't overcome a specific obstacle, or I didn't find the game rewarding enough to continue. Contrast this with the list of video games I've beaten.
| Game | Notes |
|---|---|
| The 7th Guest | In two separate occasions I solved all of the main house's puzzles except the microscope puzzle, so I couldn't get into the attic. Years later, I discovered that I needed to use the in-game hint book to "finish" the microscope puzzle, but I haven't yet had a desire to redo the game to get to that point again. |
| Bonk's Revenge (Game Boy) | Made it to the end boss my first time playing, but got a game over. Found the play control to be so bad, I didn't want to play all of stage 6 again for another attempt at beating him. |
| Dance Dance Revolution: Extreme | I have beaten every song except Maxx Unlimited, The Legend of Max, and Paranoia Survivor Max on Heavy, and Paranoia Survivor Max on Oni. |
| The Fool's Errand | Beat the majority of the puzzles, but came to a bottle neck near the end of the game where only around 3 or 4 puzzles were open, and I couldn't solve any of them. |
| Cosmo Police: Galivan | I played a fan-translated version of this game and made it to stage 6 (the last level), but got so tired of grinding that I gave up. |
| Kirby's Adventure | I made it to the second form of DeDeDe, but couldn't beat him, and got sick of trying. |
| Lands of Lore | I got over 3/4 of the way though to the war between the Xeobs and Knowles where the game drives off the rails. I didn't like the sci-fin intrusion, and I really didn't like the idea of committing genocide against an unknown race. After seeing a massive maze with tons of really hard monsters, I got fed up and stopped playing. |
| SkyRoads | I've beat all roads except The Earth stage 3, and Druidia stages 2 and 3. |
| Super Mario 64 | I've collected almost enough stars to reach the final showdown with Bowser, but I no longer have my save game file, and I don't have much interest in dealing with the awful camera and poor movement controls anymore. |
| Zelda II: The Adventure of Link | I've made it to the final cathedral, but got fed up with it trying to reach the end boss. |
