What's your greatest gaming accomplishment in your eyes?

Share your best gaming feats here.

I would have to say mine was getting over 100 lives in Sonic 2 in the Chemical Zone (2nd one) when I first got it (long time ago). I didn't use cheats or find out from anybody how to do it :)

It was the first console game I owned -- I felt special :D

It has to be completing one of the few games I have ever completed...^^' and that is Banjo Kazooie on the N64, with all Jiggies and all 900 musical notes

I have to say playing through that game was one of the most enjoyable video game experiences I have ever had, loved it.

When virtua cop forst came out there was a challange on tv to complete it with a perfect score on the arcade. as it maxs out to 99999999. On the saturn version they fixed it so you could do a true high score challange, i was so chuffed when i rolled over past the arcades maximim score. That ment playing the game and not loosing a life till the very end of the last stage and completing it in one credit, with 3shot kills on every bad guy possible, man was my finder numb :)

Being able to rise to Street Fighter challenges and win. My friends and I have been playing since we were little, and we battle all sorts of people who think they can beat us. The great thing about it is we all lose to each other, but never once have we given in to a stranger. It's amazing the amount of skill one can aquire throughout the years. Each person I beat I take away something new, and teach it to one of my friends and so on and so forth.

I use to play street fighter the new challengers alot back in the day. My favorete charactor was cammy. ONe day i was playing a solo game when some one interupted my session. He was good but i was better :D , he he. But i thought that was cool and fun. then another dude poped up and tried to beat me, so i beat him. then another dude showed up, then i beat him. Before i knew it- there was a group of people waiting in line to play this punk kid that was kicking the shyse out of every one in the arcade room. I must have beaten 14 or 15 people in a row. it was pretty cool. But my end came at the hands of some one who played the person i least liked fighting with cammy. Fei Long. I lost. but i had fun.

I also use to beat Ninja Gaiden the Arcade game with one quarter. I cant do it any more.
I also use to beat Robocop the arcade game with one quarter. I cant do it any more.

very cool.
I need more real people to play fighters against that actually know what they're doing.
I'm not very good as I don't have very much competition, but its hard to find real people that are better than me.

The only time I did was when I lived in California and went to one of the better arcades (UC Davis) and there were a bunch of Asian kids that obviously played the Capcom fighters way too much. They knew all the cheap tricks with certain characters (like Blanka in Capcom vs SNK) and wiped the floor with me.

Getting a high enough score in Asteroids on atari 2600, to the point where it resets back to 0. But I hear that it's not that hard to do that.

I would not want to face anybody now... this Cammy has bin on her ass eating patato chips and watching zombie movies. Shed have a heart attack before she got off the couch.... let alone threw a punch. ha.. Yeah,,, cheap tricks.. they suck but they work.. ive seen button bashing kids beat older so called street fighter pros. it was a really funny thing to see.
