I played through Sonic 1 on the weekend. It's probably my most played game of all time, I used to play it over an over again as a child. I still remember the location of every gem and nearly all the extra lives.

A friend and I played through a whole game of Trivial Pursuit Genus Edition on Saturday night with a few beers. It took us just over 3 hours, but we did it. It doesn't help that a lot of the questions are out of date and some we couldn't even make sense of, but that might have been the beer. It was good fun, but I don't think we'll be playing again in a hurry.

I just finished Wonder Boy III - over 25 years after I got it OK, I had played the ending from someone's password with emulator using saving before, but now I actually finished on the console the game I started 1992 or 1993. And OK, I did cheat a little (with last two bosses), using the Hades Armor infinite lives. But that's barely cheating, the way it's in the game and in fact I used it accidentally with the second last boss. This is the goddamn longest time any game has taken for me to finish.

Not sure why I never contributed to this thread but I will from now on.

I love that this is even feasible! I love that all my Xbox 360 saves are in the cloud so when I pop in a BC 360 game, my old saves are there. I also have an Acorn Archimedes which has an excellent flight arcade/sim called Chocks Away, in the late 80s, early 90s my brother and I recorded some games using the flight recorder, we found the old discs recently and were able to re-watch those old recordings, love it!

First game completed (have finished a few others before)...
Aladdin
This came out around the time the film was released here (which was a year past the US film release) and follows the plot very closely, meaning I could read the text in the cutscenes to my son, who loves Aladdin and was having fun watching me play this. As you'd expect with a 1993 movie licence, it's fairly straightforward platforming but is quite different to the Mega Drive and SNES versions that most people will know. Someone thought... what if we made a game that animated a bit like (but not as smooth as) Prince of Persia, there's sneaking past spikes, running, long jumps etc. etc.
There are some quite lengthy cutscenes between the levels - I reckon if you burn through this you could do it in 25-30 mins, and the cutscenes are probably another 15 to 20 mins on top of that. I enjoyed it!
Last thing... I played this on my MegaSG on a massive TV, that thing is amazing.
