Games that have a definite ending.

[Fellow Atari Man]

Demon Attack and Tunnel Runner sort of end when they crash, and there's a great ending (for the 2600 games) if you beat Escape from the Mindmaster (me spamming, oh no! ).

Vanguard doesn't have an ending.  YOu just keep playing the same levels over and over.

 

Dark Chambers doesn't end...it just starts over at Level D with the same items and score you had when you clear Level Z.

 

I'll be damned! I posted a response to this thread almost exactly 2 years ago! And it was in regards to having just finished Dark Chambers too! Ahhh, memories! *sniff*

You people are forgetting one MAJOR game with a good ending! (That nobody but me, Thomas, and Albert have seen )

 

It's thrust you dummies, One of the best endings in any of the games out there now. (well better than pitfall two where he just jumps up and down)

 

I can't believe it hasn't been posted on here yet and they had a contest about it.

Oh come on what would posses someone to play that turd of a game Laser Blast to a million points? I guess if it were that or have a hot poker stuck up my ass I might. Otherwise...Fergetit

 

(removes hot poker from ass)

 

Ahhhhhhhhh........yes I did accomplish this and got my patch way back when

Not all Demon Attacks end - In a 2600 Deca most players were getting lik 85K - I didnt undertsand the problem when I scored over a million on it - My cart is a fixed version that Imagic released later

That game personally killed my appreciation for other 2600 games. Once I saw that games could have an end like that, I needed more than the mindless, endless gameplay of crap like Space Jockey. I ended up going over to computer games and left console games behind. I needed to get that sense of closure in a game, and most 2600 games didn't have that.

Technically ALL games have an ending. You either run out of time (Pitfall) or you run out of lives (Space Invaders). I think the original poster meant a game that can be BEATEN. i.e. Nothing more to do... you reached the goal, saved the princess... sell the cartridge on ebay.

 

Pitfall 2 qualifies. Marble Madness. E.T. Raiders of the Lost Ark.

 

 

 

I love the 5200 version of Pitfall. When you beat the game (rescue your cat, niece, and the ring), Harry is magically transported to a SECOND adventure. Genius. This is the version that should be put on Activision Anthology.
