I did Ludum Dares 6,7,8,9,10,13,14,15,20,21,24 and 26.
That's a bunch of stuff that I've made that I wouldn't have without the Ludum Dare. It let me explore ideas and learn a lot. I haven't Won a Ludum Dare, nor do I expect to (I got 1st for graphics once) The standard is extremely high.
Here's a sampling of some of mine that play online.
Some Games came out a bit mad http://screamingduck.com/Lerc/LD13.html
Some were insanely hard http://screamingduck.com/Lerc/LD14.html
Some were pretty but otherwise fairly crappy http://fingswotidun.com/Ludum20
This one just about gave every web-browser a hernia http://www.fingswotidun.com/ld21/
And some were, well I don't know what the hell this is, but it was pretty neat. http://www.fingswotidun.com/ld24
