kirbypuckett Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I don't know why I thought of this, but what are some crazy things you've done in gaming. Like did you actually beat TMNT 1 for the NES? Two of my favorites involve hockey. I used to play NHL 95 on Sega all day every day. One time I decided I was going to win the Art Ross trophy, the award for the league leader in points, with a goalie. So what I did was pass the buck to the goalie, Tom Barasso, then pass it to a player and score. Once one of my players got a fair amount of points I would trade them to another team -- it sucked trading Lemiuex and Jagr. I won the trophy with over 100 points! Another feat came in NHL 97, which was the first one with 3D graphics. I was playing with the Penguins, as usual, against the Edmonton Oilers and I shot a soft puck at the net and as it was going towards the net Cujo dove over the puck and it sloooowly slid into the net.

monk0nuggets Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Good topic. There are a few I'm proud of. The first, completely beating Super Mario World with all the secrets and everything. The second, beating Super Mario 3. That game is fucking HARD. The third I would have to say would be playing all the way through Diablo as the sorcerer. What a weakling that dude was. I'm sure I'll think of more fun ones after a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Another, although not as tough as the other three, beating Shadow of the Colossus, God of War and God of War 2 felt pretty epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddieruckus Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 mine would have to be beating the original legend of zelda, i played that shit for hours everyday! beating the original super mario bros was pretty tight too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destroyingthescene Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 God, I've played far too many video games ... Beating Super Mario 3 WITHOUT any secrets, level by level. That made me feel awesome. Fuck, I'd love to shake the hand of someone who beat TMNT 1. I haven't played it in years but I always died in the city because I had no idea where to go.

jhulud Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I'm with you on that one eddie...beating Legend of Zelda was pretty monumental in my gaming history...also beating Metroid...although very anticlimactic...you start over...what the fuck?!?!?

flicker Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 this thread just reminds me how i hardly ever finish games anymore.... i did beat Zelda Ocarina of Time of time with all the extra stuff. like masks, bottles, poes, heart pieces gold skultulas and stuff....that was cool. The first time i beat resident evil 1 was awesome. that game scared the shit out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patron Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 this thread just reminds me how i hardly ever finish games anymore.... Same here. I usually get half way through a game, get bored and start playing online. Then when I get bored of online, I never play again. Although the most epic moment in my gaming history is playing NHL 2002-2007 and always picking Colorado Avalanche and trading for Sakic, Foresburg, Foote, Alex Tanguay, Rob Blake, and Patrick Roy (when applicable) and just cleaning house every season. Now that was an epic team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivsavage Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 One of the most frustrating moments for me was in Ikari Warriors. Played the game for like 4 hours and got to the last level, and remember how you could walk over the buildings on the side and just pass all the enemies without fighting? I was right at the end and walking on the buildings and my dude got stuck. Couldn't move anymore. I don't think I ever played that game again.

patron Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Oh, there was also the time a couple years ago when I was playing Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks and I couldn't beat the boss level with Scorpion. So I decided to give up and just go to my girlfriends at the time and get drunk with some friends. I came back home just sauced at like 2:00 in the morning and completely owned Scorpion.

wheez Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 There's an arcade in a mall where I live, and I got the number one high score on a game called Ghost Squad.

leerobert Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 This one is far more recent, but I'd have to say beating all my housemates and a big group of our friends on FIFA 07 to win our first monthly LORD OF THE LOUNGE tournament. I got to make a rule everyone had to abide by in the living room for 24 hours. My rule? Underwear only. I don't even know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcm1610 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Man ,i feel like a slacker. Me finishing a game is pretty good in my book, but you guys dominate them. My "highlights" include beating FF7, and beating Halo2 on Legendary with a roommate. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 All this talk about the FF games reminded me of beating FF X...I actually got all shaken up and shed a tear when it ended and during the end sequence...it tugged at my heart-strings big time...

akross Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Beating Contra (even if it was with 30 lives) always sticks out in my mind.

boizee Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I like the thread...for me: -Beating Metal Gear Solid on the PS1 -When me and my girlfriend at the time played a full season on NHL 2004 with the Minnesota Wild and won the Stanley Cup in seven games. She cried because she was so happy -Beating USC with Colorado in the national title game in my first season of NCAA 2008 in double overtime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
