Have an out of order addition I forgot to make. I finally got around to beating Streets of Rage with a buddy from college. SoR2 has always been one of my absolute favorite games, but I never did beat its predecessor despite reaching the final stage several times. I will admit we had to make a concession and play on Easy, but at least we finally got the job done. Maybe one day we'll return to it on a higher difficulty. Until then, glad to have scratched this one off the backlog.

That puts me at 25 games beaten in 2016, breaking a tie with 2012 for third place in the beaten tally since I started tracking this. Neat!

Completed:
