I've probably only completed less than half of what I actually own.

Being that I have a hefty stack of NES games I don't even know I have, much less played (Elevator Action? WTF? When did I buy that?) I haven't really completed a lot of my games.

Some of those games are just so hard. Battletoads for one. Damn, it will be a cold day in hell before I beat the fire cavern in that game. Ninja Gaiden 3 on the NES: they gotta be joking if they want you to beat the whole thing in a handful of continues. Skullmonkeys? Evil Engine No. 9 is hell I tell you.

Then again some games I have suck so much I just don't want to finish them. Morrowind. Maybe some people like it, but I think it sucks. golden sun. I can't torture myself long enough to finish the Venus Lighthouse. FFX-2. The game wasn't fun the first time, it certaintly isn't fun the third time because I messed up and skipped some scenes.

Some games get all my attention, despite the fact that I've beaten them an incredible number of times. I don't know how much time EarthBound has sucked from my life even though I must have finished it 5-6 times. Mystic Quest is the same way. I could devote my time to new efforts, but no, these games just keep calling me back every now and then.

Then there's finally the batch of games that I've played for 5 minutes and never touched again. Karnov, Mega Man Battle Network 2, Suikoden 3 and Splinter Cell all fit in this category.
