I doubt there will ever be any love from me so long as that system remains ridiculously overpriced and has zero exclusive games for it that interest me. Most of the Atari games I played as a youngster weren't the beatable type. You can't really 'beat' <i>Pong</i> if you know what I'm saying... Yeah, no love for the PS3.

And what about Atari 26 , Cammador 64, and Macintosh originals? I won't even discuss the games seeing I may have some you never beat as you may have some I've never beat. PS I never even heard of Turbographx64 so that is the one system you got me! Wow, someone to hold a candle to….no love for PS3 though?! And what about Atari 26 , Cammador 64, and Macintosh originals?

Even if I did reach a kill screen in an arcade game, I still wouldn't consider it 'beaten'. It just means you made the thing crash. The only one I'm good enough to attempt that on would be <i>Galaga</i>, which dies after level 255. I've made it past level 115 before, so if I shut the world out and trained <i>Fistful of Quarters</i> style for a year, I might be able to get there.

I probably have less than 20 games I've ever finished. I don't think I've finished anything not on this list other than different NHL iterations and some NBA Live ones. Oh wait, I consider finishing NBA Jam and NFL Blitz in the arcade as two of my life's great achievements. From your original graphic, I half-wondered for a second if you reached the kill screen on Donkey Kong or something. I think I’m more impressed by the amount of systems than the amount of games.
