Beating my ex's brother in NCAA Football after listening to him talk **** for months. I absolutely suck when playing other people and can only do well against the computer, so I told him his trash talk was wasted on me since I knew he would beat me. Finally, I decided to let him play me with his TCU Dynasty (or whatever it's called in NCAA Football) just to pass the time while spending time at her parents. We didn't finish the game after Nebraska was shutting them out midway through the fourth quarter 17-0. Hard to play with only one working controller.
HAHAHA that dude is awesome, heres the site where he does more games http://cinemassacre.com/Movies/Nes_Nerd_videos.html
similar story my roomate is notorious to brag about his madden prowess. he said he has only lost one game ever in his 6+ years of playing.basically what he does is he picks his teams uses his playbook he designed and audibles and runs a hurry up offense the entire game so its hard for an opponents defense to recover its energy also hurts since he knows all his audibles. i hardly play him since i know i will lose, i normally just play the computer when i do play. so one day my other roomate and i were playing and it was a tied game at half and it was my turn to kickoff for the third. my "madden" roomate took over for our other roomate for the second half and lost the game. he said it was because he couldnt choose the team, it wasnt the same, its not his playbook etc. (it was 49-28 after a 21-21 tie at half) so we played again he chose his panthers i took my steelers. since i knew his hurry up and wear the defense out strategy all i did was eat clock and run the ball. i got lucky with a couple of picks but he kept complaining that all i did was "run the ball" and that i didnt know how to do anything else. he got really made since i ran the ball multiple times on fourth down with 1-4 yards to go and making it. i ended up winning the game 56-28. he was furious and threw the controller on the ground and went into his room and slammed the door. our other roomate was laughing so hard. we played one last time recently and he ended up winning the game by a point because of a "safety" i picked the ball off in the endzone and i tried downing it for a touch back but i got tackled by his WR instead. instead of calling it a touchback the computer ruled it a safety and the game ended. it made no sense, even though he had won he knew he lost the game and it was on a fluke glitch that he had won. it should have been a pick and a touchback resulting in a 28-27 W for me. (we saw the replays and i dont know why it was a safety, the CB was in the endzone the entire time, he did not go outside of the endzone at any point) either way he has never asked to play a game of madden again with me since he knows that i can beat him now.
My biggest accomplishment is beating FF1 with 4 white mages. You had to get some special weapons and use them as items to deal any damage becuase white mages couldn't hit very hard. I actually had an emulator that I put on a disk and took to work. I probably spent a month getting through everything and leveling up my characters before I finally beat it. My other accomplishment was beating Super Marion Brothers 1 without warping and with only 1 life. Pugs
Well yeah once they added the "manual" to the trick list in the sequels you could keep tricks going for virtually the whole 2 minute run. I remember getting at least 3 million in a run with Spiderman on the Marsellies level.
Totally agree. FF is like a really good, deep book. Engrossing is the best description of the series. Anyways, my greatest achievement was probably in an offshoot, Final Fantasy Tactics, one of the best games ever. It probably wasn't even the end boss though. I remember early on having to go through Goldorf (or something like that) lots of times, I don't think my set up for characters at that point were a good match up for him. Love this game, love the thread.
Did anybody ever return a punt for a TD on Tecmo Super Bowl? I did once I think, with Via Sikehema or whatever his name was. Also I blocked a PAT on Madden 05. You have to have impeccable timing. Madden 04 is still my favorite of the Maddens. I had that game mastered. Donte Stallworth was unbeatable in that game, he had ridiculous speed and I'd line him up in the slot because the Saints playbook had a lot of crossing routes for that position. It wasn't uncommon for me to have 500 yards receiving and 10-12 TD catches in a game on all-pro with 5 minute quarters.
I beat Michele, Pauline and Ben in Hearts with a score of 0! Caught all the cards at the end. Also I got 3 seconds on Minesweeper for Beginner level. Expert around 100 seconds.
River Raid on the Atari...my brother lied and said a naked chick came onto the screen if you scored 100,000 points...naturally being a 10 year old I fell for it....I stayed up forever trying to master the game...unfortunately I would encounter that naked chick until years later
Getting so many extra men on Asteroids for then 2600 . .that I got 6 hrs of sleep and woke up . .. I still have about 10 men left Rocket River yea. . .that is lame
beating mike tyson the first time was probably the most rewarding accomplishment ever. i even had to do a victory lap around the house when referee mario gave me that decision. now i beat him so regularly that it seems weird that it used to be so hard. on joust, a friend and i made it to level 49, and we had never been past level 35 before that. by myself i managed to get to level 27, which was just amazing considering all the blues i had to beat and how fast the pterodactyl starts coming out. i had some amazing times on super mario kart, especially on rainbow road. i remember playing double dribble and beating some team by 100+. i don't know if that's easy to do or not, but it seemed incredible while it was happening. i beat super mario bros running through every level as fast as i could and warping and didn't die so it had to be well under 10 minutes (i've seen youtubes of people doing it in under 6 minutes so i figure i was in the 8 minute range). recently beating guitar hero 2 on hard was great (even if i got 3 stars on every hard song). psychobilly freakout was definitely the hardest for me. i actually ended up beating freebird in 2 tries on hard, which surprised me. i just don't see how i'll ever beat the harder songs on expert, though. returning punts wasn't all that hard, since guys usually ran about their normal speed. i mean it didn't happen often but if you played w/ san fran taylor could go the distance and there were a few other quality returners. kickoffs were a much bigger b**** since fenerty was practically the only one that ran with any sort of speed. it had to all break right and you had to make great moves. now returning an INT, that was impossible. i remember 2 friends playing and one picked it off, ran about 60 yards back, got tackled at about the 5, fumbled, and the other guy picked it up and ran all the way back for a TD. one of the longest lasting plays you'll ever see (aside from purposefully running a whole quarter out with bo or barry). even though TSB is the game i've played the most and the game i would say i'm the best at, i can't really think of an "accomplishment" on the game. scoring 126 in a preseason game, 10 rushes/10 TD's with barry, all of that is just fluky stuff for the most part. and it was hard to go a whole season just trying to rack up passing or rushing yards for one guy. shutting 3 teams in a row out during a season w/ no resets was pretty damn good. but the one thing i'm best at on the game is juking. no one jukes like me. and i essentially never get juked. i probably burn this one friend 2-3 times a game, and over 100s of games the last 2 years, he's probably beaten me about 3 times. if i could press the A button faster, i would be a god on that game, but i think i wasn't given that ability to make it more fair for mere mortals when they play me so that the final score isn't too lopsided.
man how could I forget that one - getting past the Hangar Bay alone on Leg was one of my crowning moments. I think it took me something like 6-7 hours.
I was the first in my middle school to beat Metroid. I was also the first to find out that the Metroid character, Justin Bailey, was a chick. I beat Super Mario Bros. 2 the first day I got it. I was the first to figure out how to get Mario to have fire balls when he was little and also figured out the bajillion lives you could get with the turtle guy coming down at you on the stairs. I was the first person that I knew of to beat Tyson in Punch Out. I also beat the Ninja Turtles game that, apparently, no one else can beat. NBA Jam Tournament Edition: 365 - 4 was my best score. We'd hit the codes for the power ups "on fire" and "steal," set the clock to the lowest setting and the opponent to the lowest difficulty and try to score as many points as possible while letting the opponent score as little as possible. We'd usually do it with two of us against the machine, but 365 - 4 was my personal best. Also, no one could beat me at that game. With codes or without. I owned all with the Rockets and Dream. Street Fighter II - Ryu and I were one.
winning two world championships (Cyberathlete Professional League) in haloPC back to back with two different teams. then winning cal-invite in counterstrike-source. oh and knocking off two of the top teams in the country in my first lan in css with a pickup team.
