My Personal Video Game Completion List

2024-03-11 - Anecdotes, Video Games

Latest revision: 2026-06-28

I thought it would be fun to track the long list of video game that I have beaten and/or completed for reference, so I've done just that! There may be a few mistakes here and there due to secret features unknown to me, or due to misremembering details of my past gaming experiences, but I believe the information I've documented here is accurate.

All the video games listed below represent those that I've won the main single player mode by myself. Games strongly marked also have been fully completed at the highest difficulty settings by myself for all single player modes, and potentially with others for multiplayer modes.

I do not consider the following valid for the purpose of this list except for practice:

• Modifying a game
• Manually editing save data, unless doing so is expected for normal progression
• Manipulating a game's normal operation, including through system emulation features
• Using cheats
• Abusing major glitches
• Inputting passwords not previously obtained through normal gameplay
• Enabling accessibility features that aren't turned on by default
• Activating strictly pay-to-win content

I am also excluding the following from my personal definition of full completion:

• Maximizing scores, unless the game gives them a special meaning
• Completing achievements/trophies that can only be tracked outside of games
• Changing the numbers of allowed retries in the game's options
• Minimizing the consumption of credits in arcade games

To prevent bloat, the following types of video games are excluded from the list:

• Bootlegs
• Demo versions of games with no additional challenge compared to the full version
• Free games and mods that are not officially part of a commercial series
• Games without an unambiguous game win state
• Direct video game adaptations of non-video games
• Story games that can be directly adapted to a gamebook

Note that if a game is listed without a version, it is referring to either the original international release or a subsequent one that is functionally equivalent. Paid expansions, save data transfers and unlockable hardware-specific features are listed when applicable.

So without further ado, here is my personal video game completion list, categorized by series.
