    [​IMG] Capstone just inspired my curiosity. With his Top Gun achievement in another thread about bugs. :) I can't think of anything amazing I have done right now, But perhaps you guys and gals out there have some awesome experience you would like to share. Commodore, Amiga games, playstation, PC, gameboy, whatever.

    So here is your chance to brag ;)

    [​IMG] Extremist, what the holy heck are you talking about? I assume it's a sarcastic remark of some kind, but dang if I can decipher it.

    Capstone he has just foreseen that a lot of people will tell stories where they made "illegal" changes to the game and did something wonderfull. In doing so he thinks my thread is stupid :lol: :p

    you made it through River Raid!!! *I shall have the counsil to knight you* :)

    I had it on tape recorder. Took ages to load. But it was awesome. I couldn't beat the later levels when all the junk ballons, guns, tanks, planes etc covered the river.

    So in dispair of having my favorite game thrown aside I converted it to a slalom game where I weren't allowed to shoot. Only avoid stuff.

    What is the last level. I have waited 15 years to hear that. Oh man :D

    lol i played it as a slalom most of the time too only shooting when necessary. It's nigh impossible at the later levels otherwise.

    I can't really remember what happened. (hell i'm not quite sure i actually finished it now that i think of it.. seems to be an incredibly daunting task. still, i distinctly remember being over level 80 for i was desperately trying to reach 90 or so - i was 8 years old :) ). It either went back to level 1 or abruptly ended saying game over after finishing one level. If memory serves, the latter is the case. I suppose it wasn't a game designed to be finished :)

    was a true classic nevertheless.

    [​IMG] Hmm well this is a recent feat of mine. On the N-64, Super Smashbrothers I beat single-player with Kirby, settings of very hard, three lives, no continue. Did not loose a single life, not even to the fighting polygon team (30 enemies total) at any given time outnumbered 3 to 1. I went ballistic. Kirby is the man. PS I almost did it with Captain Falcon, still working on that one ;)

    I have fond memories of playing the original Pools of Radiance game when it first came out in the 80's. It was on an old Apple II with one of those green computer.

    Does anyone here remember the original ZORK?! I also finished that one....hell I'm REALLY dating myself here....that game is so old it was ALL TEXT! Very neat at the time though.

    I translatetd 75% of Sid Meier's COLONIZATION to norwegian. I wish could have completed that project but, my computer crashed or something don't actually recall. Anyway I din't bother to start all over again.
    But Colonization on norwegians rocked

    EDIT: I aslo managed to complete the 100 levels of Bubble Bobble without losing one life. But again so did my mother, she kicked ass in that game :grin:

    Changed the whole balancing system of Tiberium Sun, just to figure out that the game couldn't be saved no matter what you did *sigh*

    Finished off Sagat (? not sure about the spelling), on the arcade version of Street Fighter with 98 seconds to spare.

    Also completed Arcanoid with more lives left than I could count.

    A good Uni education went down the pan in that arcade!

    Oh yeah, on the StarWars arcade game (original) we used to take it in turns between a friend and myself and spend the whole day on it for 20p. Racking up 14mill pts on that bastard took a while!

    If anyone remembers Master of Orion 2: Battle at Antares, I scored 19544 points in that game, playing on Impossible level with 7 enemies in a Huge galaxy. :roll:
