That jogs my memory a bit. I don't remember how they end, but I know I
beat Beach Head 1 & 2.

None, because I was too busy trying to figure out how the games were
coded or how I could make "legal" backup copies. For some reason the
pong-like C-64 cart "Pinball Spectacular" that required paddles occupied
a lot of my play time. Although few paddle games were produced, I
seemed to prefer them to the joystick ones.

It didn't have an "end", but I mastered Skate or Die, particularly the
Downhill event (I can't even remember the name). I could do it at top speed
the entire way, thus getting the 'perfect' score each time.

I also got a near-perfect score in Pitfall II on a couple of occasions.

You know.. I had to stop and think about it, but I don't recall ever
actually completing any games on the C64. I think I came close with
Ultima V on my C128 and I think I came close with International
Karate. But games like pacman, space invaders, q-bert, frogger,
tetris, atomino, etc, never even got close to winning the games.
Then again.. I vaguely recall possibly winning Pitfall II.
