Unfinished Game - am i wasting my time?

For everything that's not in any way related to PureBasic. General chat etc...

Does anyone think this is worth finishing with a storyline, health, score, etc. or should I move on to something different?

If you want to, do it!

I have 15-20 unfinished games and various pieces of software that I started and stop... I still work on some of them every now and then :-)

It's good practice also to implement Scores, Health, Menu Screens, AI ect. just to get the feel on how well your Main Loop works.
Just to see some sprites move, may be satisfying for the coder. But a good game also have a wellthought interface and story.
