Have you ever played a game in a language that you didn't understand? Did you manage to beat it?
If you went on to learn the language, did you go back and replay it?

Really many from before I knew english. I remember thinking the sulfur in Heroes III was gold dust when I was little.

Same here. Thought the oil was manure and mercury were old cooking pots.
I'd come up with the dumbest theories imaginable trying to understand why Shit+Pot+Money=Ghost Dragon Lair.
More recently, I've beaten a few untranslated Jap porn games. Never bothered to download and replay them because I dont know what their fucking names are.

Ore, not oil...

Just like any ESL I played plenty of games in English before I could understand it. Animal Crossing for GC and other text-heavy games is the reason I always stayed several years ahead of my peers in English class throughout school.

I played Densha de GO! even though I can't read a thing in Japanese.

When I played Gen 1 of pokemon I thought trash was the thing you were supposed to find in the third gym, but there was just nope everywhere.

Ditto. We'd always say "I need more pot!" in our native language.
I also remember not being able to understand why only some heroes could learn third level spells and up.

I ended up beating Queens Blade Spiral Chaos for PSP
Well its a strategy/grinding game so you don't really need japanese anyway.
I'm literally stuck on stage 4 because I don't know what's going on.
Yes. I played Mario Bros in Japanese. Completed it.
Played Zelda OOT when it came out. I didnt understand english at all. Took me two years to beat it because of the fire arrows. I didnt read any guides i simply shot an arrow at the rising sun out of boredom. I was around 8 at the time.
I rented Mario is Missing for Nes when I was 4, before I could read. Managed to beat it over the weekend.
I got so impatient waiting for Mother 3's fan translation that I played through it in Japanese. It stil managed to be a fun experience and I barely even needed a guide.

What game? Is this assembly?
Played some weird Russian point-and-clicks back when I was a kid without knowing a single word in it. No idea why I was doing it
Well, I'm playing a couple of games in a language I don't completely understand atm. I'm basically using vidya to learn spanish. I think the uncharted series is working well for that.
I played all of Ace Combat 3 when I was a kid. I didn't understand much of what was going on but it was fun.
I also played a bit of the VOTOMS' PS2 gamewith a bit of help from /m/ for some of the menus, particularly the tuning one. I didn't beat it because missing out on the dialogue is shit.
