Redcurrie Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 As much as I like to play the same game until I either die of old age or go senile, I like that satisfaction that comes with completing or winning a game. I haven't found many games so far that you can win so I thought that I'd ask......other than Adventure (which I know that I won on all levels in the 6th grade or so) and James Bond which I just got, what other games can you win? Thanks, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xot Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 We'll assume you aren't considering two-player games like Combat and Tennis and whatnot as "winnable," so here's a few off the top of my head: Haunted House Swordquest (all) Raiders of the Lost Ark Secret Quest Skeleton Marble Craze E.T.

figgler Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I think you can beat Enduro - haven't done it yet tho. I also heard that Ms. Pac Man has an ending "cartoon" which I haven't seen either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 It would be cool if someone with an Atari 2600 related web site had a database similar to AtariAge where you could find games of certain types. Find games with endings, find games that feature randomness in a major way, find all driving games, find all Breakout type games, and so on.

JB Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Swordquest (all) But did you really win? Or is the person that's never played them the real winner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaXpress Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 What about games where the score maxes out and the games stops, such as Megamania? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 You can "win" in X-man.. just finish the maze.. then you get to one of the three action scenes, and if you wiggle the joystick at just the right frequency, you win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 There are several games where you must complete an overall objective...and then the game starts over at a higher lvl. Ghost Manor. Kill Drac rescue friend. Spikes Peak. Get to the top and plant your flag. Porky's Blow up Porky Bar Oh BTW welcome to AA Redcurrie!! Feel free to use the Offical Atari Age photo thread.

D.Yancey Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I think you can beat Enduro - haven't done it yet tho.I also heard that Ms. Pac Man has an ending "cartoon" which I haven't seen either Enduro ends when you have a power outage or fall asleep. I've never played Ms Pac Man long enough to say not, but I doubt it. Many Activision games end with a certain high score. Click on my TG world record link below and look up any titles you want. Most Activision games with records of 999,999 or 1,000,000 end at this score. Spider Fighter ends at 900,000 and Dolphin at 299,990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcurrie Posted July 26, 2003 Author Share Posted July 26, 2003 I don't yet have Pitfall II so I only have a shot at winning Pitfall but if you win, does something cool happen or do you just get the maximum score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 If you collect all the treasures, the game stops (still displaying how much time is left on the clock). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasty Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Frankenstein's Monster has an ending and even an ending sequence! (woo!) Don't know why.. but I keep liking that game! Rasty.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 FM is a great game. I love it muchly. Is the ending sequence you mention the one when the Monster wins, or is there another one for if you win? I wouldn't know as I have never beat the Monster. But someday, Monster! Someday!!!!! Never Ending Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Yancey Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Robot Tank... if you can destroy 12 squadrons (144 tanks). Stampede--if you can lasso 7 herds of cattle, you'll be shown how to lose a game quickly. Watch for the fastest and most severe difficulty ramp-up in gaming history(around 35,000 points)! Don't try this one a home folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
