    He probably pushed you off with his left hand before burying the 15-footer.

    Contra (NES) -- All the way through without dying....... with the normal gun. No powerups; not even rapid fire.

    I assume you mean Turtles 2, the arcade game for NES. Legend at my elementary school had it that this one kid could beat it without the Konami code (which gave you 10 lives, as opposed to 3).

    Flew New York to London on Flight Sim 2002 and sat through the entire flight. It was so boring. Damn garbage truck ran over the cable pole and I didn't have access to internet or TV.

    Probably something kind of lame, like beating all the Weapons in FF7 or something like that. I've always tried some of the bonus battles/areas of the Square-Enix games (Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts, Nemesis in FFX, the Deep Dungeon in FFT, Chrysler Building in Parasite Eve, etc.), but I don't think I've ever actually beat/cleared them or anything like that. I'd usually give up after a little while and move on to some other game. And those are probably the only games where I even have the desire to try and accomplish something other than simply beating the game.

    I was working on getting all the "achievements" from FFXII before my PS2 started acting up. I might try finishing that up since it probably wouldn't take too much work to get the rest (all my characters were maxed out IIRC). I got some more Oblivion stuff I need to do too (get all the Daedric Artifacts...think I didn't get all of them yet), but I'm holding off on that for a little bit.

    No, Turtles one. Level 1 easy, then under water, easy once you know the layout, then the truck and city, took 1 year (since there's no such thing as internet walkthroughs at the time) to figure out what the heck they wanted you to do (involving jumping buildings and stuff), the next level was actually really easy since you've had so much practice from the level prior (I think there was a strobe light and stuff), then you jump inside the eye thingy and you really can't get any further.


    The thing that made the game insanely hard was that there was no saves, so if you want to beat it, you have to almost set aside a whole day to play the game. Either that or not trun off your NES for a couple of days.

    I was going to say Contra 3 because I beat it the very first time I played it. It was very short and very easy.

    The game I still remember jumping up and down when I beat it was Commando.

    I remember getting real far on TMNT. I first gave up on the game and it sat in my closet for the longest time before I found it and gave it a second try. That game was hard. I think I beat it but I really don't remember.

    I've beaten Street Fighter II Turbo for the SNES on the highest setting without losing a round on two occasions. You get a bonus screen of your character and it says, "You are a [Character's name] Master". I think I did it with Ken both times, or possibly with Guile once and Ken once. I got pretty into it back then.

    In terms of greatest achievement versus a human opponent, one time I was playing Mortal Kombat II on the snes with a couple of friends. There was one friend who would always play Scorpion and kick the other two of our assess. Between me and my other friend, we would only beat the Scorpion guy maybe 1/5th or 1/6th of the time.

    Well after a while I got a bit fed up, so I tried something different. I picked Kung Lao and won a round and lost a round against the Scorpion guy. For the last round, I was really aggressive with my kicking, and tried to meet him in the air with a quick jump-kick followed up with his diving kick special move. I stayed on the offensive the whole time, and ended up winning.

    But for the "Finish Him", instead of a fatality, I pulled off a "Friendship" on him. Kung Lao pulls a rabbit out of his hat. Here's what it looks like:

    A friendship in MKII was really tough to pull off, because you couldn't use punches or the block button. You could only use kicks in the final round, and to beat the Scorpion guy who was basically running us over at the time was a pretty cool accomplishment.

    The funny thing is that, when the scorpion guy saw the friendship come on the screen, he immediately went over to the system and reset the game, and started saying, "What, I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything." Me and my other friend just started laughing our asses off. Good times.

    I got to Shredder in that Turtles game. I don't know anyone that made it past the dam where you had to disarm the bombs.
