game endings

Donkbaca:
For clarity, lets classify a game ending as an indication that you have beat the game, a message on the screen saying "f-ing way to go hombre!" or something like that.

Football by Atari in 1978.

I think the allure of the early games wasn't beating them, it was getting the highest score in the arcade/storefront/convenience store. I'm wondering if the NES changed that.

Donkbaca:
Yeah, that is what I am trying to figure out.  I am from the "game ending" generation, If a game has no end, I figure, what's the point :dunno

I still love the classics, but the new "casual games" I just can't get over.  So I am wondering when the change was.  You figure it must have been something revolutionary, a game with an ending!

High score was definitely my motivation until I played Dragon's Lair.  I never would have been able to tell anyone what my score was.  But all my friends knew the day I "beat the game".  ;D
