Thread: Your Greatest Video Game Achievements

I still have the high score on Galaga at the laundromat by my house. Set 3 years ago when my washer and dryer went out. 543,678. My initials are ASS.

yeah i dont really have any major things.

I got all 120 stars on super mario 64
and in the snes version i unlocked all the secret levels, like radical, tubular,etc.


What else......

on my old cell phone it had a pinball game, i did so well that i reset the score twice before i ran out of balls. (it was when the wife was giving birth, needless to say we were there for like 14 hours and i didnt bring in my playstation yet.)

1. Beating the original Ninja Gaiden on the NES.

2. Finishing Super Mario Brothers 2 with 70 extra guys. If you remember, you had to collect coins and play the slot machine at the end of the level. I got really good at timing that damn thing.

3. Beating Super Mario Brothers 3 without warping.

4. Mastering every character in Tekken 3.

5. Getting 6 backstabs as a Spy before getting killed in a Match of TF2.

6. Beating Mortal Kombat for the first time with Scorpion. Everyone and their brother could do it with Sub Zero. I said eff that.

Damn I play too many video games.

The Mario 2 and Ninja Gaiden NES achievements are particularly impressive!

I will add that I refused to use the Game Genie back in the day. I had a friend that used it to beat the original FF with it, and he only used it to corrupt the game economy.

I would also like to know if anyone beat The Legend of Zelda 2 for the NES. I remember that I would get to the 9th dungeon or something and the game would just break on me every time.

I hated that back in the day and I never use cheat codes. It's like cheating yourself.

I'd use them only after beating the game just for the neat glitches and such. The best Game Genie code was for Street Fighter II on SNES that allowed you to pick the same character (which you could not do on the first version).

I also used the programmers code for each of the Super Star Wars games just because it was awesome.

My friend beat it, but I can't remember what happens. You fight shadow Link or something. Thats the only Zelda game I've never finished.

Beating Super Mario World without dying. (Have only done it once. I have made it several times to the final Castle (not Bowser's) and died there, but have only done it once without dying...I try it every now and then. I made it to Level 6 a few months ago...yes...I still try to do it every now and then)

Beating the original Mario Brothers without dying. (BTW, no warping in either of the last two statements)

I cannot beat Super Mario 3 without dying. Close, but no cigar. I had this ongoing bet with my roommate in college my sophomore year, if I could beat Super Mario (the original) without warping, before he beat it with warping, he'd buy beer for the night. I won a LOT of beer.

Beating Tony Hawk ProSkater 4 in one day (not the first day, just saying in one day, one time)

Jesus Christ. It's a freaking video game. You cheat yourself every minute you waste on it. Who gives a shit if you cheat.

I am not the greatest at video games. I beat Mike Tyson's punch out.

I beat Chrono Trigger. God I love that game. Best ever IMO.

I have probably logged a year or more of my life on Tecmo Bowl and Super Tecmo Bowl and yes Super Tecmo Bowl 3. On Nintendo, Sega and Super Nintendo. I have probably logged another year or so on various Maddens.

I don't see it that way. I love video games since the original Atari. To me, gaming since the days of the original Playstation made games more like a movie, except you were in the movie. Games like Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil and FFVII back then helped shape it for future masterpieces like Halo and God of War.

That was a pretty damn difficult game.

You sir are godlike.

The only game I really used the cheat code for was Contra. I want to meet one person that beat it with the normal 9 lives instead of the 30.

just wanted to add

beating james bond 007 goldeneye on 64 and unlocking all the weapons, levels and cheats for every level. ( like paintball mode, invincibility, unlimmited ammo,golden gun etc etc.
