Haha, just had to comment on this.

I think this one level made me more frustrated than any other level in any other game I have ever played. I remember my then-gf was dozing on the bed next to me when I was trying to complete it. I started frothing and screaming and cursing with such ferocity and venom that she later admitted she was scared (I don't normally swear in my day to day life, or at least I didn't back then). I was squeezing the controller until it makes that crackling sound.

And then you don't even get anything for completing the game 100%! (except that silly star on the title screen).

To "complete" a shmup, is that one crediting the thing? Three crediting it or better? I'm assuming no one is credit feeding their way through shmups, Metal Slug, etc... well I guess R-Type could be multi-credited, due to the fact continues are limited. So is that the criteria then?

I don't know... can anyone help out here?

Personally, I don't have any shmups on my list, since I don't really ever consider them completed. If I did, I'd say one credit only, but as the first post mentioned, just use your own conscience as your guide. If you're done with it, either remove it from your pile, or mark it completed, depending on how much you played it.

Update! I added a new "clear category" for my pile: If a game is underlined, it means it's gone, but not because I played it to satisfaction, but because it sucks, I sold it, or whatever. I won't give myself clear credit for these, but at least they'll be axed from the pile.

Progress last week:
Guerrilla War
Dragon Warrior III GBC
Dragon Warrior VII

Fame - 25
Shame - 124

I took care of Maximo yesterday...dunno what took me so long to play it, but damn it if it isn't one bad-ass game. Credits sequence brought a smile to my face, had me humming along. Can't wait for the sequel now.

I finished Snatcher, but I don't even think it was in my pile, so it stays the same. I'm playing Rune right now, and at the rate I'm going, I might finish it by Wednesday or Thursday.

Guess I'll get in on this. Typing them out, I didn't realize I had this many games I want to finish. Some might fall off the list when I admit I just don't like them (Legend of Oasis, Shantae, Conker [this game is gay; Rare supposedly finally goes "adult" and ironically ends up being more childish than ever before], couple more). Many I haven't even started (Gitaroo, KFIV, Suikoden III), some are on their way in the mail as we speak (Shadow/Dual Hearts, Tiny Tank, Legaia), and one or two I'm deliberately not finishing to prolong the greatness (Wind Waker).

Okay, here's the list.
