freebie "RULES" freebie

1. Respect each other and the gamekeeper(s) - this activity is a gift to the community, and jerks kill the fun.
2. Beat games. Proof is NOT required via an image, but lying is lame and you won't win anything for beating the most games.
3. It doesn't matter when you started the game - as long as you finish it this year, it counts. However, you cannot load up a finished save file and refight the final boss to get a clear.
4. DLC campaigns can count as a single clear for their respective game, so beating The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Champion's Ballad counts as two clears: BOTW and BOTW DLC. Any further DLC completed for that game will be lumped into the first campaign.
5. If you are interested in badges, when you beat a game for one, include something like 'Counts towards badge X' OR 'Earns me badge X, first game was Y.' One particular badge requires proof to obtain, however.
6. All participating past gamekeepers are thanked with a medal: image

#13 Trials of Mana - Nintendo Switch

#13 overall. Trails of Mana for switch. Played Hawkeye, Riese, and Angela. This game is amazing. The way they did this remake, and Star Ocean 2. THIS is how to do proper remakes of old RPGs. And I still love FFVII remake. But these are great too. This game still "feels" like secret of mana. The music, the battling, the world, how you explore, how the towns and areas are separated. It really feels like playing a proper sequel to the SNES classic Secret of Mana. Loved about everything about this game. Not too long, class changing system, replayability due to there being 6 heroes. They nailed this one. Hope squareenix continues this trend. And I know we have a new mana game coming too. So that's great!

I took Toaplan games seriously way too late. I always thought space ships were cooler than planes and helicopters, which is still true, and that horizontal shooters were better than vertical, which is still debatable. However, now I realize how special of a develop this was and am enjoying going back through their catalog now that they are getting both the M2 treatment on Switch and PS4 and the (unfortunately inferior) Bitwave Games treatment on Steam and GOG.

This game has an ending, but it's really the result of a limitation. The scoring caps at just under a billion points. Needless to say, I didn't get there, as that purportedly takes about 10-hours of not screwing up. I figured filling up the leader board was good enough. The "ACE" initials are an homage to my middle and high school buddy Chris, who used to use that back in the late 80s and early 90s.

[imgt w=481 h=428]https://pbs.twimg.co...[/imgt]
It's not as magical when played on a PC almost a full year after release. It was definitely made for GBC hardware and for the year of its promotion. But it's a decent little game regardless. Though I swear you can't jump of a grind rail when you're moving left--the second stage is mildly annoying as a result.

This is one of the few games I owned as a kid that I had never finished and maybe my favorite game that I had never finished. I have to say it feels good to knock it off the bucket list after all of these years. Maybe someday I'll revisit Fester's Quest...

@Yoshi Nicely done yes Blaster Master is great. How far did you make it as a kid? Before I finally beat it, the Area 6 boss was usually the one to get me, and if I did make it past him, then the Area 7 boss was the next hold up, or just trying to get through Area 8!

Inertial Drift Twilight Rivals Edition

Badge - first towards Race Drivin' I suppose

I did this largely as my Luna clear and for a semi-twitchy race/drifting game, the streaming was really solid. There's a story mode that I beat to claim this with a 'story' of some sort told by dialog btwn 2 stills of you and random folks before each event - I mainly skipped all of that crap and just did the events. Luna is strange that they sell a dedicated controller like Google Stadia did and they want you to use it, and when I first tried this game it didn't seem to recognize my X1 controller plugged into my machine so I went with the KB controls that were interesting: A/D for L/R, then the left and right arrows for 'drift' left and right and spacebar for throttle. At speed, turning with A/D does virtually nothing and you need those drift keys to actually get around corners, which makes sense based on the title and premise of the game. The story car is super easy to drive and I handled all events until the final one pretty easily across a few gaming sessions. I got used to the dual handed controls over time and went and looked up if there was a brake key and it's S, so then I started to use that for the last few events, which helped with some corners getting pretty sharp and forgetting to let off the throttle spacebar at times caused me to hit the guardrails/walls and slowed me down. Most of the story is more about racing, either a ghost, the clock or another car (which you can't hit, explained with some totally BS story quip that I read) which was a strange since you'd think a drifting game would be more about the stylized driving - which eventually they got to near the end.

After failing the final race I took a break last night and then was reading the info page in Luna after closing the game and noticed it touting it's dual-stick controls and figured I would try the controller again. So this last session I got my controller working and after a practice run on the final track with the new controls I crushed the final event by over 20 seconds - so yeah the controller was a better setup. Beating that event triggered some credits so I'm claiming it, but there are several other things to do. An Arcade mode, Championship mode, Twilight Rivals additional 'story' mode and some Challenges. I did a few events and got to drive some other cars that handled very differently. The Challenge mode lets you unlock other cars for the Arcade and Champ modes it seems, so I did a few of those, but man some of the cars handle very strangely on how to trigger a drift or how to even get them to turn much at all, so I failed on 2 b/c their characteristics didn't gel with me - I only gave each 1 attempt. Some new cars I actually liked how they controlled differently.

I did start up the Twilight Rivals story mode and can see me playing a little more of that, yet still skipping all of the lame dialog btwn the many characters introduced in the main story that seem to be making appearances in this story as well - plus a host of new folks.
With only around a month to try out and beat something on Luna before it cycles out of the free access for me as a Prime sub, I prioritize smaller games like this, so I'm glad to have knocked off Luna and really the game isn't too bad if you ignore the attempt at a story. It's clearly neon 90's inspired and has a ho-hum cell-shaded look but it was worth my few hours of time so far.

And 4th in Feb, 1st on Game Boy Advance, 13th overall
Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Badge - 1st toward Hop n Bop, right?

Beat this as it was Frank's pick for his GotM and I hadn't got 'round to beating any of his picks in a little while and figured it was time to give one a go. I don't like too many Mario games anymore, likely b/c when I use ROMs to go back and play them, I focus too much on being nearly perfect and will just use save states to gloss over mistakes and that's messed with how I play some older games period, but it seems really bad with Mario titles as they just get too frustrating for me after a little while - that happened here for sure. There are 6 worlds with 6 stages each and then a toybox and DK 'fight' stage per and by the mid-point of world 2 I was starting to see the meh creep in. World 5 and 6 weren't great with that and I was all to happy to have it beat. I unlocked access to all 6 worlds having a + mode now... yeah this is not a game I'll be putting more time into, I got the credits, I'm done.

#11 down: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League on PS5. I would like to count this toward the Mustache-Twirlin' badge.

This game was a lot more fun than I had expected. I agree with another poster who said elsewhere in the forum that the last third gets tedious. The last three boss fights are pretty annoying, whereas the previous ones were pretty fun. I’d give the game a 7 overall. Definitely worth playing but with a few annoyances along the way.

#12 down: FoxyLand on PS4. I would like to count this toward the Hop n' Bop badge. This was an annoying 2-D platformer with lots of ways to instantly die, but at least it was short. I wouldn't recommend it.

I'd call that a puzzle game, personally.

#13 down: FoxyLand 2. Alongside my previous clear of FoxyLand, this gets me the Hop n’ Bop badge.

This, like its predecessor, was not very good, but it did introduce some new mechanics. The wolf boss in world one was rough.
