    Default Your Greatest Video Game Achievements

    These could be games you beat, milestones in MMORPG's, or actual "Achievements" in Xbox 360 or awards on PS3. Heres some of mine:

    1. Beating Ninja Gaiden II on Path of the Master Ninja. I can blow through this game in 3 hours normally. This took me about a month and a half to do. Ironically the last boss was the easiest on this setting. The gamer pic I got for beating this will never leave my profile pic.

    2. Hitting Level 70 in Final Fantasy XI online. The hardest level grinding MMORPG ever. I leveled my Elf Paladin and promptly quit the game (and MMORPG's) forever. They kill real friendships!

    3. (Almost) Winning a Marvel vs Capcom 2 tournament in Vegas. I used to be hardcore into arcade fighting games. I made it past the regional tournament here in 2003 and got an invite to play at EVO in Vegas. I had to drive myself and pay for a hotel, but it was cheap at the time! I made it pretty far until I barely lost a semi-final match. My team was always Ryu, Cable, and Magneto. Can't wait til this hits XBLA.

    4. Beating Final Fantasy II (SNES). This was my gateway drug to the Final Fantasy world. I played the one on NES but never finished it (I liked Dragon Quest better), but this game was amazing. From the mist dragon to getting the Excalibur sword in the underworld, one of the best true RPG's ever. I tracked down the Japanese sequels after this for years until they were re-released on Playstation.

    5. Beating Mortal Kombat before anyone in my town! I grew up north of Denver in a boring town called Commerce City. Our closest "arcade" was in a little 8 lane bowling alley in a part of town known as Derby that had one or two arcade games. Somehow, the owner got Mortal Kombat around the time it was released everywhere and about 20 of us kids lined up the morning he got it. While 3 people bowled, we all took turns. After the crowd died down several hours later, we all took a shot at beating the game. I learned sub zeros freeze move and just kept using it to blast my way to Goro. It took a few tries to beat him, then Shank Tsung was easy. I was like the hero of arcade kids for a month!

    Thats it for now, I'll think of more later I'm sure.

    I once made it to level 35 on E.T. for the old Atari 2600.

    The accomplishment is in not attempting suicide while playing such a terrible game for that length of time.

    Breeding a gold chocobo to obtain Knights of the Round, the ultimate summon spell in FFVII is one of the first that comes to my mind.

    I forgot how this was done but I remember doing it. It was worth it though.

    I had tony hawk's pro skater on gameboy, sucked at it. I was pretty good on the playstation version. Which reminds me, i did finally get that one token in the mall that was extremely hard to get too. You had to ollie just right to get across to it. That was a huge acheivement for me. I'm not much of a gamer.

    1) Beating Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 and getting that secret level, Skatopia? Whatever it was called, it was awesome. I got everything in that game. All the tapes, SKATE letters, stupid challenges. Urrything.

    2) Catching 140ish Pokemon on Pokemon Blue version. I had to trade with my friends with Red to get some of them, but there was always just one that I couldn't get. Don't remember which, though.
