moycon Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 I can think of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Riddle of the Sphinx (If you can call it an ending) Double Dragon. Adventure Haunted House Superman Ones I wonder about: Ghostbusters? Spikes Peak? Enduro? Any Others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 I think I remember reading a thread on Atariage a few months ago about Secret Quest having an ending but Ive never finished it myself and I could be getting it mixed up with something else. What about Dark Chambers? Ikari Warriors? I finished it on coin-op years ago aftyer pumping enough money in it to buy a house but Ive never finished it on Atari. Starmaster does, when youve killed all the aliens on "Starmaster" difficulty level it just stops, plays a 3 or four note jingle and thats about it though. Maybe Tutenkham?? Although again, ive never finished it myself but I imagine it could be a game with a definate end, could anyone confirm? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 I think Enduro has no ending. But here some games were I know the ending. Decathlon (if you played all games the man run and run, maybe no real ending). Donald Duck's Speadboat (the 3 kids carry the trophy, gold silver or bronze) E.T. (you sit under the house from Elliot) Pitfall 2 (Harry jump up and down) Raiders of the Lost Ark (look near the same as the startscreen) Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Ghostbusters has no ending nor does Enduro, Tutankham (all of these games "wrap back to the beginning level, but keep your score going), nor ET (in ET when you get to the house screen, just press the button to send the little back down to earth). Solaris has an ending Pitfall! has an ending (since its time based) Secret Quest has an ending (as far as I know) Barnstorming (timed thing again) All sports games (that I know of) Frogs n' Flies (and most other 2 player games) M*A*S*H All Swordquest games Dragonstomper I'm sure there's more. I'll find them. Never ending Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Enduro and Dark Chambers start the game over again... Spike's Peak I believe does the same (You may get a congratulatory screen like E.T. first, but I'm pretty sure it starts over again afterwards) Star Raiders sorta has an ending... And I guess you could argue that all head-to-head games like Combat, or any sports game has an "ending" as well. But in this sense "ending" only means that the game is over, there isn't necessarily any special treat other than knowing that you won. There's also games like Demon Attack (some copies) where the game crashes once you get far enough. I think that could be considered an ending Same goes for Activision games that stop at !!!!!! Pitfall (the original) ends up at a point where you can't possibly get any more points... would this be considered an ending? How about: Thunderground Crystal Castles Vanguard Moon Patrol (I think this one loops) Solar Fox Wizard of Wor --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasty Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 I'm thinking of Spider Fighter, since it looks like you can't get past the 900k score. And what about H.E.R.O.? I don't know if it ends or the stages wrap, but it sure doesn't have an endless number of levels. Anyone know if it stops after all stages are cleared? rasty.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Crystal Castles has an ending???????? I've never been far enough in Vanguard or Moon Patrol to know if they do or not. The max score on Pitfall! is 114,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 I asked whether there was an ending to 2600 Crystal Castles in an earlier thread a while ago. I know the Coin-Op version has a definite ending (easily seen by cheating in Mame) but according to Crossbow, the 2600 version just keeps going. I do remember playing 2600 Crystal Castles and coming up on some strange cool looking stages when hitting the upper upper levels .. so I wonder how many castle shapes there actually are in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Vanguard doesn't have an ending. YOu just keep playing the same levels over and over. Dark Chambers doesn't end...it just starts over at Level D with the same items and score you had when you clear Level Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari70s Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 PITFALL has no ending even though the highest score is 114,000 it recycles to the begining again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Actually it stops when you reach 114,000, even if you have time on the clock. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari-Jess Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 one would think gyruss would have an ending, number one since you eventually end up at the planet you wanted to get to and two, the song in the background should end as all classical songs do.

bcprs1 Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Funny thing about this thread was that I was about to post the same question on friday.
