What is Your Video Game 'Claim to Fame"?

[DarkDesertFox]

-Completing Ecco the Dolphin without skipping levels and with bonus objectives.

I have an Ecco the Dolphin game (3D) for my Dreamcast. It took my sister and I over 10 years to get past the first boss because we had no idea what the heck to do lol. Same thing goes for Rayman 2: The Great Escape. I could never find that last lum until recently.

Beating or 100% (minus pieces of heart)?

I haven't done anything too impressive off the top of my head, but I think I'll try to do a 3 heart run in Wind Waker sometime soon.

100%. The only thing I didn't do was beating all 12 bosses in the boss rush. Getting the hylian Shield was hard enough.

Finishing that goddamn ball and hole game in twilight princess to get the frog lure..

Rollgoal.. uuugh

 

[Javocado]

Grandmaster Galaxy Daredevil Run on Super Mario Galaxy 2

Took me 40+ tries before I finally conquered it.

 

[toxapex]

I beat Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door's Pit of 100 Trials in January without using danger Mario

And uh, yeah that's it oops

 

[Ruru]

The 700 hours I had logged on Pokemon x within the first 4 months of owning it. Also filling out more then 3/4th of the national dex!

 

[Bleeborg]

completing the pokedex. all 719 of em.

 

[ThePayne22]

My 100% Completion (All Pins, All Items, All Noises, Max Stats) on TWEWY.

And also my insanely high scores on Big Brain Academy, lol

 

[oath2order]

100% on Rogue Soul 2. Good luck on the final boss battle.

How many polygon men?

26.

It took a while. Like I was sat for a week trying to hit 21 (because that was the high score at the time) and could only get like, 20 at the most. Then I got one lucky run where I got the 26, ran to find a camera (because you had to take a photo of the results screen as evidence) and waited around for my score to appear in Nintendo Magazine :3

It's pretty much the reason I have my love for Kirby.


It's probably been beaten by now. I didn't even know stuff like 'wave dashing' was a thing back then.

I'm guessing they didn't publish your picture? I've always wondered about people who beat "trendy" high scores from Magazines or whatever. Especially Nintendo stuff "OMG SUCH HIGH SCORE IT'S THE BEST EVER WE'VE SEEN" *20 people come by and beat it and they never have a follow up*

Nahh, they just published your name, possibly your age and the score on a scoreboard for whatever 'competition' they had going at the time.

They didn't even do the paragraph of false enthusiasm or announce there was a new high score for me, they just stealth stuck my name at the top of the scoreboard as though it had always been there...Was still pretty chuffed about it though :3




I'm kinda wondering if they still do that sort of thing these days. I doubt it considering there's online leaderboards for games now and that photoshopping is a common thing...You can't really send a photo of the screen these days without the risk that it was photoshopped.

 

[cosmic-latte]

Team Fortress 2, I played that game so much and I've gotten plenty of headshots as a sniper.

 

[Captain Crazy Chicken]

I think the video game record that set off my Golden Age of Gaming is the time I beat Emerald. Sure I had a hyper-overleveled Swampert at the time, but still, seeing that Hall of Fame record along with my Pokemon for the first time was GOLD.

 

[Earth Wolf-Howl]

As sad as it may be to admit; unlocking each extra level in Donkey Kong Country Returns and completing the game when I'm horrible at that genre of game.

 

[tobi!]

Beat Bioshock Infinite: 1999 Mode w/o dying once.

 

[GumCat]

Lol I think the thing that impressed my friends most back in the day was beating the Rock Band 2 Endless Setlist on expert

 

[ThomasNLD]

I guess getting a 100% on Goldeneye and Timesplitters. I played through Goldeneye to unlock cheats a lot for my friends back in the day.

But i`ve completed so many games I`m sure there were more difficult ones. Goldeneye and Timesplitters are just games I loved playing anyways.

 

[LambdaDelta]

I swept all of Giovanni's team for his gym battle in Pokemon Yellow with a level 12 bellsprout that I just used as a cut slave

it then got a promotion to mainline fighter



of course I had an actual team, but he beat them all and the last time I used the Pokemon center was in Fuchsia just before heading off to Cinnabar. also, I didn't have fly
