Your greatest video game moment/accomplishment

I'd say beating the SMB the lost levels. That game was tough.

winning a 3v1 in C&C95. actually, winning rather constantly games that start FFA and rapidly turn into 3v1.

shaving off 0.1 seconds on Talon's Reach in WipeOut2097.

you dont need to watch the whole thing, just go to the last minute and check out the scores.

When I won a Sega Genesis by getting the high score in Bubsy at a local movie/game rental store.

To get into the finals I played Sonic 2 and had the best time, so I went last at the finals. So I borrowed my moms boyfriends Genesis and practiced the shit out of the level to get an even better time.

But then at the final, it ended up not being Sonic 2 and was Bubsy instead. The guy who went 2nd to last to me was friends with the people who worked there and he knew it was going to be Bubsy, so he beat the shit out of everyone elses score. However since I went after him, I basically did exactly what he did and then some, so I beat his score and won the Genesis.

This was like a month before Mortal Kombat 1 came out on Genesis and I was so hype I could play it with blood.

Predicting that if I drop my NES Advantage controller that it will roll or bump up against the NES and I lose my save in Ultima 3. It did. I haven't been able to imagine the same thing with anything else positive in my life.

Can you imagine if at the end of the wizard it was busby instead of SMB 3?

I'm sure the game holds a special place in your gaming heart, but it's a pretty mediocre/terrible game.

That is a good story though.

Being the guy standing at the arcade for hours while everyone lines up to challenge you in Mortal Kombat 2. I got pretty good at it and once I ended up playing and winning against everyone who came up to play and gathered quite a crowd. You know how it goes. Winner stays, loser goes back in line, next up challenges, The arcade had it hooked up to a big screen so onlookers could see. First and only time I've ever been that guy. Most of the players sucked but it was still a good feeling for me at the time lol.

 

[UsandThem]

Probably beating The Legend Of Zelda, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, and Kid Icarus. Those were some tough games when they first came out, and I remember spending so much time on them, it felt pretty dang good.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Beating Orphan of Kos in Bloodborne. I must have fought that thing 50 times before finally killing it.

writing a long-ass paper on my windows xp machine, and when it's finally complete, stretching my sore legs and accidentally touching the reset button.

i save compulsively ever since.

Never was anywhere good enough to be "pro", but I was pretty stoked when I got into the top 25 in trueskill for Halo Reach team slayer over on halo tracker (an unofficial ranking based mostly on win-loss). Since all the social players in the top 100 or so always ended up teaming up with each other, you ended up playing teams of people you know half the time which were close games and then "normal" teams which would get crushed 50-10.

defeating Manus in Dark Souls.

I once beat Mike Tyson in Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! Greatest sports game of all time.

I once beat Mike Tyson in Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! Greatest sports game of all time.

I always considered punch out to be a puzzle game because each fighter has a pattern or trick to figure out.

 

[EXCellR8]

That's a tough one... I once got STALKER to run on Windows XP for more than 20 minutes though. Does that count?

 

[shortylickens]

I beat level 1 in Karnov.

 

[aigomorla]

learning about the code "up up down down left right left right B + A" in Contra on the NES.

My second would be the unlimited life glitch in super mario brother by glitching that turtle and pulling it off successfully.

^ that one...

 

[bbhaag]

I beat Super Metroid in under three hours and saw that Samus was really a girl. Blew my fouteen year old mind.

 

[HitAnyKey]

Finishing Final Fantasy on (think it was SNES) at like 4am with my GF. We played for like 20hrs straight or something stupid. We did take breaks ;-)

 

[RearAdmiral]

I won the original fishing tourney in WoW. Either that or beating I wanna be the guy.

 

[Rifter]

Playing MGS 1 for PS1 3 times to completion without stopping, took a day straight. And figuring out how to beat that one boss you has to switch to second controller port only took me 2 tries before i figured it out.

 

[CrackRabbit]

Pulling this off in World of Tanks ranks really highly in my books.

 

[EXCellR8]

I think the first game I platinum'd on PS3 was Assassin's Creed II... when the series was actually awesome. Didn't play many other games to completion but it was satisfying in a way. That would have been my college years so there was definitely some ample time for gaming back then. I remember having a pretty good Black Ops 1 MP career too, a rare feat considering I don't play many online fps at all, or ever have.

 

[Stg-Flame]

Held a world record speed run for about week for MGS 3: Snake Eater. Given all the strats, glitches, and exploits found since then, my time isn't even in the top 20 anymore.

 

[urvile]

Each time a new halo came out me and one of my buddies would play through it co-op while drinking copious amounts of beer. The master chief had to keep taking smoke breaks.

Also not dying for 2 minutes in a row while playing max payne 3.

In highschool I was pretty much unbeatable at MK and NHL hockey (1992-1994). Even the best players in my highschool couldn't score on me. I could take trash hockey teams and play good defense against top teams like the redwings. Getting goals just took time for me.

MK was so easy in terms of muscle memory it was insane. I'd be doing moves before the previous move stopped. It was basically an onslaught of attack on my opponent.
