A Winner is You (2008)

[StRiDA CoL]

Here forum members can post what game they have just beaten or have done something in a game that they thought was really hard and has finnally beaten it.

[j_factor]

I recently beat Ouendan on hard mode.

[theevilfunkster]

I just finished Far Cry Insticts. Got it on Thursday and had it beat by Friday.

[Melf]

I just beat Hippodrome (Fighting Fantasy) last night.

[Dartagnan1083]

I 2-lifed Stage 5 in Gradius V. . .again.

Now I can work on not dying at all during that stage.

[Genesis Knight]

Just beat Gunstar Heroes on 2P mode with my sister.

[StRiDA CoL]

this morning I beat MERCS, god what a gay last boss

[ROBOTRON]

I finally beat Trizeal for Dreamcast...what a hard game.

[j_factor]

Ouendan expert mode is kicking my ass.

[Genesis Knight]

Are you going to sticky this, Melf?

[Elusive]

I've finished OutRun2's 'Heart Attack Mode' with AAA ranking. I'm #1, #2 and #3 in the machine's highscore table \m/

[Wampaa]

I beat Dark Wizard with Amon this week.

[Melf]

The power of sticky compels you!

[Demonic Weasel]

Just beat SFCD.

[j_factor]

I just beat Super Mario Bros. :D

[StRiDA CoL]

Beat Final Fight...again :yuck:

and Forgotten Worlds, yet again, Capcom gives me a gay last boss

[Melf]

He was quite a bastard in the Turbo Grafx Super CD version, but was owned quite easily on the Genesis.

[Wampaa]

Final Fight and Forgotten Worlds are easy in Mame. Just keep hitting the insert coin button :roll:

My god I love Forgotton Worlds arcade. It is such a beautiful, detailed looking game.

[j_factor]

Forgotten Worlds for Turbo CD is kind of rubbish. And I say that as someone who generally prefers the Turbografx versions of things.

[Melf]

The gameplay sucked, but it was pretty decent otherwise. I still prefer the Genesis version for some reason.

[StRiDA CoL]

Hey guys did ya see my other post about the last boss in MERCS?

Do you agree with me about that?

[Genesis Knight]

Wonderboy in Monster World and Ranger X in the same day! Woot!

[Demonic Weasel]

Beat FC a while ago.

[Drixxel]

Minutes ago beat Bonk's Revenge. Sat down for a quick fix and ended up playing it through.. that game's so fun.

During the ending sequence, there was a mysterious Ken. H credited for the equally mysterious 'Program.' Could it be...!?

[j_factor]

I just beat Clockwork Knight. Fun little game, didn't deserve the panning it got.

[Melf]

Minutes ago beat Bonk's Revenge. Sat down for a quick fix and ended up playing it through.. that game's so fun.

Oh snap! THE JIG IS UP!! :P

Finished The Real Ghostbusters last night. God, what a chore. The same gameplay and music for 10 levels! My reward? A shitty, one-screen ending. Poo.

[Elusive]

Rocket Knight Adventures.

Super Hard mode.

"Congratulation!! You are very very strong!"

Eeyyy. :cool:

[Genesis Knight]

Vectorman 2...

...the 'fast as possible' way. I love how the Vectorman games allow for either quick playthroughs or detailed 'goody' runs.

[Fang]

I finally beat Dragon's Fury. It took along time to beat the final boss with no more balls. The ending was a let down.

[Drixxel]

Beat Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Final Fight courtesy of the Capcom Classics Collection. Paper Mario was... awesome. I highly recommend that one.

[Melf]

Downed BattleTech last week, and I hope to be through with Half-Life 2 sometimes this week.

I do have to play Paper Mario 2. It's on my shelf and I simply loved the first one.

[Rammykun]

after like 10 years of not been able to beat this game, I finaly Beat Final Fantasy 4 (the GBA version). The first Final Fantasy Game i've ever beaten :P

[Obviously]

I just played through Pulseman for the first time. It was a little on the easy side but really fun. I can imagine the programmers at Capcom were playing this game when they came up with the idea for the Megaman Battle Network games.

[Drixxel]

I do have to play Paper Mario 2. It's on my shelf and I simply loved the first one.

Paper Mario 2 is great. The dialogue in that game is absolutely hilarious, among other top-notch qualities. You must play it, Melf.

[Dartagnan1083]

Just beat Mega Turrican on normal mode.

Holy F***KING Crap!!
That was Awesome.
This is definately going on my personal top 100


Of Course, I had a bit of trouble before I finally figured out how to use the smartbomb (my copy didn't have a manual).

[ary incorparated]

Hey guys did ya see my other post about the last boss in MERCS?

Do you agree with me about that?

Yup,Fianl fight has a bit of Gay tendencie,like the first bos,how wrong could it be,A police men,soem chest hiar and a Fat belly small legs,S Gay kinda looking charcters,soemthimes it really makes me laugh.Ooh yeah did you remember the gay in Bare knuckle 3,damn funny he really acts girly,I was broken by laughter when seeing that. :D

[Melf]

Whupped both Starflight and Rn & Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention. :)

[Melf]

Last night I finished Violent Storm by Konami, which has to be the single cheesiest beat-'em-up in the history of gaming. Those lyrics! Geez!

[Drixxel]

Completed Silent Hill 2 this afternoon for the first time.
It was an interesting experience, but only partially satisfying.. Methinks I'll have to do another run on max difficulty in the near future. There are moments in the game that sodomize the mind.

[j_factor]

Beat Final Fantasy Legend II on the weekend.

[Genesis Knight]

Shadow Squadron in a grand 17 minutes.

[Drixxel]

I fulfilled my duty in Bionic Commando, arcade edition, via the Capcom Classics Collection. Not a classic, but I kinda liked it..

[FishySaysSpoon]

Beat X-Men Legends 2 on normal a week ago. It was fairly easy except for the final boss fight. Only Wolv survived, musta been cuz of his regen. Well time to beat it on hard I guess...

[Genesis Knight]

Just took out Light Crusader for the second time. Now maybe I'll finish that review! =P

[FishySaysSpoon]

Just beat SNK Gal Fighters in normal (level 3) tonight. Had the hardest time using Shiki and my fav char is whip :)

[Melf]

Whupped Dark Seal last night. Cool game overall, but it's a shame that part two doesn't work on MAME. :(

[Zebbe]

I've beaten Sonic CD and Snatcher. Both were good endings.

[JFLY]

I've beaten Sonic CD and Snatcher. Both were good endings.
Congrats! Did you make a "Good Future" on all the stages in Sonic CD?

[Melf]

I've beaten Sonic CD and Snatcher. Both were good endings.

Snatcher has one of the best (and longest) endings I've ever seen!

[Demonic Weasel]

Damn I want to play Snatcher so badly... Oh well. Now let's see I know I beat something recently, uh Virtua Cop? Yeah I beat that but there was something else... uh oh yeah! It was FC. Damn I'm pathetic.

[JFLY]

Just beat Air Diver today. Man, that last battle was tough... Also I beat Call of Duty 2 on the Xbox 360.

[VinnyT]

After months of trying, i've been finally able to win in not only Jeopary, but Family Feud as well!

Oh just wait for Reader Roundtable #6, where everyone can hear what I think of Family Feud after trying to win a damn round guessing how many racks are in your house!

[Kikoskia]

I got soooo close to completing Thunder Force III on one continue. After having never even got past stage 4 on one continue, I managed to breeze through stage 4 and then 5 and 6 without having ever even played them before!

Got all the way to the final boss in the ORN base and lost all my lives. :( So close, yet so far...

[StRiDA CoL]

While I wuz banned frum my CPU, i beat the following games

WWE:Day of Reckoning-I recomend to ANY GC wrestling fan or GC owner. There is sooo much depth to it. And the Create-A-Superstar is really kewl, I made Razor Ramon!

Tony Hawk's Underground-Beat it on both easy and normal mode. Ending is pretty funny, but the game was a little tedious.

Legends of Wrestling 2-Huh....NO ENDING!! WTF!!!

Thats just about it, I am working on Advance Wars: Dual Strike

[j_factor]

I just beat Bonk's Revenge. Holy crap that's an amazing game. It makes me want to drop $70 on Bonk 3.

[JFLY]

Just blew through all the courses in Outrun for the Mega Drive. LOL! I total forgot this game had ending credits.

[Sega Uranus]

Melf, you NEED to play through PM2 now!

The last game I beat... thats a tough one, well I am playing through Chrono Trigger (first tme), and I am also playing Elders Scrolls IV: OBLIVION, but I haven't beaten many games latley (I don't have money, and I sell off games to buy new ones, which are usually used). Oh, duh, I just completed Kingdom Hearts II like 2-3 weeks ago.

[Kikoskia]

Just completed Sonic 2 as Knuckles using the Sonic and Knuckles lock-on cart. :)

[Zebbe]

Just finished book three of Shining Force CD. Will skip book four.

[Hidden_Darkness]

I just finished streets of rage 2 and guardian heroes.

[JFLY]

Just put the smack down on the last boss in E-SWAT for the Genesis.

[StRiDA CoL]

Beat THUG 2 (Tony Hawk Underground 2) on normal and easy, ending is a lot funnier than the first, and you get a crap load of characters when you beat the story mode on easy, noraml, and sick (hard)!

[Zebbe]

Just beat Thunder Force IV on normal. I've been struggling with that game for some time now. The 8th boss was incredibly hard until I figured out all his tricky attacks, so today I beat him without losing a life. Then I died nine lives on the 9th boss. Died that credit on the final boss later, but won against him with a few lives left on the next credit. He was a lot easier than I thought he would be. I'm probably better than Neil West, who wrote my Mega Drive Power Tips Book. He lost a whole 99 lives credit before reaching the end. I didn't cheat. :)

[Alianger]

Just beat Sonic Blast 3D yesterday. Damn, what a tedious, boring game it was :/

[Sega_GEEK]

I just beat ATV Offroad Fury 1,2,and3 all on expert mode.

[Sega_GEEK]

I also beat an arcade game without dieing even once! Its called AIR SOLDIERS.It was one of the stand up arcade thingys to.
:D

[DigitalSpace]

I just beat New Super Mario Bros. (DS) the other day.

[VinnyT]

Beat N.A.R.C. on Midways Arcade Greatest Hits 2. Naturally I cheated with a LOT of continues.

And I found my old Pokemon Blue and beat the Elite 4 again with my old team, just because.

[Drixxel]

After about a week of off-and-on playing, I beat Mega Man Legends this evening. It's been a long time since I last churned through it.. a very fun game. It has inspired me to fire up a bit of the ol' Legends 2, which will likely soon be deserving of a post detailing my glorious victory over it...!!!

[Zebbe]

I beat Sonic 2 for Master System with all emeralds this afternoon.

Then I beat Revenge of Shinobi with 90 shurikens in normal mode this evening. I think I got the good ending, since the girlfriend didn't die. I lost many, many lives on that headbanging old man, but finally I found a way to avoid his hair and keep the chains still. After you have hit him, you jump slightly up to the left and throw a shuriken that way on the chains. Zeed will then throw his hair in that direction and you will avoid it due to your landing. Then repeat and make sure you have space to do this.

[Genesis Knight]

Beat Ranger X on Heavy - didn't even break a sweat. The game is a joke once you get the Shield, and the levels up to that aren't very hard, either.

[16-bit]

I finally beat Sonic 1 with all of the chaos emeralds, there was some coding in the top left hand corner of the screen, I wrote it down, but I lost the paper. Anyone know what that coding is?

[ary incorparated]

Beat Ranger X on Heavy - didn't even break a sweat. The game is a joke once you get the Shield, and the levels up to that aren't very hard, either.,

There are slightly diffrences when playing the game on heavy other colors or something,but thats great that you finished it,its a great game it looks terrific Tons of animations and stuff this game is amazing only completed very fast idd it isnt that hard,but still the paralax in level 4 wowed me,and my bro was thinking i was playing a saturn game,how much apreciation does the game need more,are there any extra when you finish it on heavy?.

[Genesis Knight]

I beat it again today, just to prove to myself it wasn't a fluke. :p


are there any extra when you finish it on heavy?.

You know how it has the rotating wireframe stuff during the credits? You get a different image for each of the difficulties; on Heavy it's your Ranger X mecha. There's also a bonus pic after the credits - an anime rendition of your machine with the word "Fin" inscribed below.

[Genesis Knight]

And finally one more time, without the Shield, just to see how hard the last levels would be without it.

[ary incorparated]

the game is great it had some very good animated details.

[Novaka]

I just finished beating Halo on legendary... That had to be the hardest thing in my life... 2 weeks of non-stop playing (AKA whenever i was not eating, sleeping, or using bathroom i was playing) Now time for Halo 2 on legendary *Shiver*

I also managed to put some time into LOTR:The third age... Not too hard but still an acheivment

[redrum666]

just beat Super Thunder Blade on the genesis what a crappy ending

[Chef Gouki]

Years back, my best friend and I conquered Streets of Rage 2 on Mania. My last life ended in the elevator going up in the final level, and he finished off Mr. X. Took us 3 hours that day.

[Rayek]

Well, this was a while ago, but I beat Sonic 3 and Knuckles with everybody, got all the Emeralds, even the super Emeralds, and I even did it over with just Sonic so Tails wasn't hanging around all the time. That game gripped me for like a 3 week period.

[16-bit pwnage]

I beat Super Mario Bros: Lost Levels; anyone who's played it on All-Stars or Super Mario Bros DX knows just how freakin' hard they made that game.

[Henry Spencer]

Years back, my best friend and I conquered Streets of Rage 2 on Mania. My last life ended in the elevator going up in the final level, and he finished off Mr. X. Took us 3 hours that day.

If you want a real challenge; take on SOR3 on hard mode with a friend,
talk about challenging. I have not beaten it...:(

[Zebbe]

I beat Phantasy Star II today. Rolf was at level 35. I was just getting the Nei Sword and had just a few battles before that level, so I fought a bit just to see Megid :). I beat Dark Force and then Mother Brain without going back to Lutz and heal - I was too lazy to do that :D.

[108 Stars]

You are Lutz reincarnated yourself. I can tell by your Avatar.

[Kikoskia]

Just beat Road Avenger for the first time. Last life, last continue. Man, it was some ride. And it rekindled my Mega CD interest. :)

[Rodger]

beat story mode in bust-a-move 4 for dreamcast. You have to play over 100 different puzzles to beat it, that's a lot of puzzles in one sitting!

[stalepie]

Beat Circle of the Moon and Portrait of Ruin (easy mode). Circle of the Moon is better if only because some of the bosses were kind of difficult. Damn, what happened to hard Castlevania games, with stairs?? FUck Koji Igarashi and all his femboy Baroque castlevanianess. Time to beat Portrait on level-1 max Hard Mode with Richiter... er... going to eat my words...

[Zebbe]

You are Lutz reincarnated yourself. I can tell by your Avatar.

Hahaha, great, that's how I managed it!

I beat Puyo Puyo today! And boy, I am proud of that! That game kicks ass and I will buy the sequel soon. This is how I defeated the last boss, Satan:

We had almost both filled up half the screen, building up for combos. I was lucky and got one first, I think three transparent Puyo Puyos in all columns. That's caused big trouble for Satan who couldn't get any combos or get the transparent ones away, because she never got the right colours. So in the end, I just looked at her screen and made small single combos while her filled faster than mine. I was very lucky, because a few turns later, I would have died. It was much easier than I thought it would be, but I did it after many, many tries and you NEED luck to defeat this game. And this time, I was very lucky. :blah: :love: :rock:

[Reg]

I beat Super Mario Bros: Lost Levels; anyone who's played it on All-Stars or Super Mario Bros DX knows just how freakin' hard they made that game.

That game is actually beatable? I tossed it in with Battletoads in the list of games that just couldn't be beaten. I stopped playing when I couldn't get past I think it was 2-2 or 2-3 with Luigi. You're far more patient thatn I.

Not that big of an accomplishment but I did master the Mime Job on FFV Advance with everyone at the same time. It takes 999 ABP to master Mime but I did it in about an hour & 20-30 mins time. Knew of a great spot to get ABP. This was the first time I ever mastered a job that required 999 ABP.

[Zebbe]

Lords of Thunder - 16-bit version. The last boss was easy as Dell, didn't even use any of my bombs on him.

[Zebbe]

Popful Mail - CD and 16-bit version. Everyone of the "USA Team" were credited at the end. "Japan Team" had only the Sega and Falcom logos as credit. And how exactly can Victor Ireland be a director over a game that's already been made?

[Joe Redifer]

Because he's Victor Ireland.

[Fonzie]

I'm probably better than Neil West, who wrote my Mega Drive Power Tips Book. He lost a whole 99 lives credit before reaching the end. I didn't cheat.
Don't laught %D ... I myself failled with 99lifes too :'(...

[Seldane]

Finished Ys: The Vanished Omens Master System yesterday. For the 432nd time. Been a very long time since I last did it though.

This game hasn't aged well, that's pretty much all I can say. Still got that Master System charm to it though.

[Joe Redifer]

I always get up to Darm Tower (or whatever it's called in that version) and get extremely bored.

[Seldane]

It's Tower of the Doomed, hehe.

[Sen]

I beat Formula 1 a few weeks ago. For Playstation (1), game by bizarre creations. Still nice to play. Newer titles can still learn from an old title like this.

[JFLY]

Finally beat Tomb Raider Legend and Lost Planet on the Xbox 360. Man, that last boss on Lost Planet was pretty lame...

[Dartagnan1083]

Beat Soldier Blade on the Wii-VC.

they really need to bring more TG-16 shmups over.

[Joe Redifer]

Hellfire's ending on the "Yea Right" level of difficulty accused me of cheating (specifically using "Slo-mo"). This angered me and I will write a stern letter to Seismic and show them what for!

[Alianger]

Regarding Hellfire, have you guys discovered the dancing girl in one of the glass dome pillars of lvl 1 or 2? What's she doing there?

I beat Bonk 1-2 for GB last night, and I have to say that series sure is overrated! The mechanics felt very random and the jumping controls made me go wtf.

[Joe Redifer]

Well, you're playing the GameBoy versions of Bonk. Bleh. And yeah I saw those "dancing" things in Hellfire. I tried to collect one but it wouldn't let me.

[Alianger]

I've played the console games and the core gameplay isn't much different. They are also very random and make you go "wtf!"when you jump.

I tink she/it also makes an appearance in Dynamite Headdy. What a little tramp!

[Zebbe]

Wiz 'n' Liz - console version - on apprentice, wizard, sorcerer and super wizard levels. Frustrating hard in the end, and the ending disappointed me. Extremely good game though. Probably a top 10 Mega Drive game.

[Alianger]

I'm trying to beat Mole Mania, but it keeps beating me.
So this is lame post, yes.

Edit: Not anymore though because I beat it! Great puzzler produced by Miyamoto that everyone should try out.

[Mr Smith]

Just beat GTA: San Andreas (after about 7 months on and off). God the ending sequence was tosh.

[Melf]

I beat Blaster Master 2 today. So powerful was the experience that I wrote a review for it!

[Drixxel]

Completed Final Fantasy Legend II yesterday. One fine game.

[JFLY]

Finally beat Resistance Fall of Man

[Alianger]

I'd like to read that Blaster Master 2 review!

[Drixxel]

Ran through King of the Monsters 2 and TMNT IV: Turtles in Time for SNES the other day with a friend during a bit of late night gaming. Turtles in Time is still a top notch beat-'em-up, but KOTM2 gets far more numbingly repetitive than I remember it being.

[Man-Fish]

I completed Genji for PS2 again. :)

It's a very simple and easy game, but it's fun, and that's all that counts in the end, right? :p

[Joe Redifer]

I beat Chrono Trigger for the SNES.

[Zebbe]

Was it good? Now you just have 14 endings left!

[Joe Redifer]

It was good, if a bit overrated.

Here's my review (http://www.the-magicbox.com/forums/showthread.php?p=430263#post430263)

[Zebbe]

He, I saw that review right after I posted that post. I enjoy your review thread a lot, especially considering your knowledge about the technical aspects of games. It would be great if you wrote something about for example paralax scrolling, scaling & rotation, stereo sound etc. for this site, like you have done many times on the forum.

[AD2101]

Finally beat Soukyugurentai for the Saturn today. It was a pain in the ass and took me and some of my friends all night and a lot of beer but it was well worth it.

[esb09]

I beat Knights of the Old Republic, and KOTOR 2 two weeks later. KOTOR 1 is awesome, KOTOR 2 kicks ass until the end. God, if the KOTOR 2 ending doesn't say "rushed" I don't know what a rushed ending is. I'm not even sure what that ending is supposed to mean. Bot games were really enjoyable, however.

Both games were finished on the "Dark Side" path.

[outrunner]

I just beat dangerous dave goes nuts for dos two days ago.The last boss was easier than typing this sentance.Getting there was real hard.And the ending was a group of recolored pictures from other softdisk games.This game was "the path"
not the "goal".

[Zebbe]

I beat Twinkle Tale on normal. Tip: forget the red dragon special power and only go with the weird blue/white ball instead, because it is a lot stronger.

[Joe Redifer]

I beat Exile. It's hard. Hardest game ever on any Sega system. Ninja Gaiden is easy compared to this.

[Melf]

Finished The Outfit (Xbox 360) with all single-player achievements, then I beat Bioshock (360) with all achievements as well. Great games, especially Bioshock, which is my GOTY so far.

[Genesis Knight]

Unlocked Soul Caliber (DC) 100% at last. And somehow I still suck.

[Lemmi_Is_God]

here is a list of games ive beaten in the recent past/this year

Dragon Lore - 3DO - i had the save file on my 3DO since 1997 when i got close to the end of disc 2 then i quit playing for 10 years :) i even posted the ending on youtube with my digital camera

i mostly lose interest in games before i finish them, and the list above are the ones i can remember beating and not getting bored with

[kylera]

Obtained 100% souls + items in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.

I'll never pick up that cart again.

[outrunner]

I just beat Blake Stone: Planet Strike for PC DOS. It needs better levels.

[Joe Redifer]

I can't believe that anyone has beaten Albert Odyssey. There's more waiting in that game than playing it seems.

I beat Metroid Prime 3 a few days ago because I am awesome.

[Mel]

You know, I beat Ghouls and Ghosts on a marathon... And then it told me I had to beat it in hard mode to get the real ending... I cussed for at least 45 minutes after that.

[Joe Redifer]

Ghouls n Ghosts is easy. Getting the special weapon in the second loop is the hardest part about the game because it is completely random. The best weapons are the default spear, disc and best of all the dagger. Any other weapon is the worst, especially the sword. Turn the game off if you ever get the sword.

[Vehemont]

I beat FFVII for the second time a month ago with all the ultimate weapons, all ultimate limit breaks and Knights of the Round. Damn it takes so long to get that summon, but it is worth it! I am on my third playthrough now, and I am outside of Kalm, and have clocked 8:07hrs.

[Joe Redifer]

I beat Super Meteoroid and thens I reviewed it!

[AxelStone]

Not a massive achievement but I finished Sonic Adventure 100% the other day :)

Games I have finished recently:

PC:

F.E.A.R
Command and Conquer: Renegade (No one suffer this dead horse of a game)

SNES:

Clocktower: First Fear
Donkey Kong Country 1,2

XBOX:

Farcry instincts
Doom 3
Brute Force
Halo 2 (on legendary)
Halo
Fable (big deal, took me like 4 hours)

Genesis:

Turrican
Sonic 3 (finally got past that damn tumbler in carnival night)
Earthworm Jim

[Genesis Knight]

Fable (big deal, took me like 4 hours)

No kidding. The point with Fable is to continue to live your life and develop after the storyline is finished. Ever tried getting a shopkeeper drunk, pushing him out of the store, shutting the door behind him, and stealing all his stuff?

That's why beating Fable in four hours isn't the point. :D

[Zebbe]

Super Fantasy Zone for the Sega Mega Drive. It got me pissed a few times, but I beat it in the end.

[Joe Redifer]

That game can get pretty tough.

[Zebbe]

It's a walk in the park compared to the game I beat today, which is...

UNDEADLINE!!!

Toughest Mega Drive game I've beat so far. Next up is Battletoads...

[outrunner]

Just beat the original arcade Narc again. This is my sixth time. The end was hard but I have it down to a science.

[Parker619]

hmm havent posted much on here but looking at these games i should post what i have beaten in the last 3-4 months of gaming,, here we go

MEGADRIVE
Phantasy star II - this game got me tricky in some places even with a 15+ year old hint book to help me but motherbrain was much easier than darkforce,, then tried to do phantasy star 3 but was boring.

Altered Beast - easy game most people should of beat this one not all good ending

Sonic 1,2,3,knuckles beat all of these in 1 and a half days didnt go for all emeralds and that but just wanted to beat them again because they are fun:D

Road Rash - fun game will start number 2 in a couple of days time

Ghould 'n' Ghosts - did everything beat the boss but i have to go through the levels again to get to the rite ending so what i did was put in a code to get to the last boss just to see the ending :P I DESERVED THAT ENDING I DONE EVERY LEVEL :P

MASTER SYSTEM

Golden axe warrior, completed this for the 100th time or what it seems that fun game not so great ending death adder was too easy just stand in the doorway and hit him

alex kidd in miracle world- this pissed me off a few times in the forest level but worth the complete

i think that is all but will check to see if there is anymore :D

[kylera]

Most recent achievement:

Minesweeper for Windows - Expert mode 119 seconds.

[Joe Redifer]

I beat Shining Force 2.

[Parker619]

beat kings bounty on the genesis for the second time,, this time using the barbarian,, completed it in aboiut 3 1/2 hours

[Man-Fish]

I beat God Hand for PS2 on easy mode a few days ago, and it was hard, because I suck at games.

[Vehemont]

I finally took the time to beat Phantasy Star IV today. I was at the end for a month now but I just kept putting it off for some odd reason. Now that I have beaten it I may try to torture myself to try to play PSIII but I doubt I can withstand it.

[Zebbe]

It's not that bad. You just need a little patience, that is all.

[outrunner]

Wolf 3D for the 300th time!

[TmEE]

Nothing at the moment... but few weeks ago I beat my 220th game : New Super Mario (NDS). I think in near future I'll be beating some Sonics on GG...

[Kollision]

(...)
UNDEADLINE!!!

Toughest Mega Drive game I've beat so far. Next up is Battletoads...My impression of Battletoads for the Genesis is that it's a piece of cake when compared to the original NES version... That rolling-cart-riding stage almost drove me nuts!

[Genesis Knight]

I beat God Hand for PS2 on easy mode a few days ago, and it was hard, because I suck at games.

"HARD...BUT FAIR!"

[Zebbe]

My impression of Battletoads for the Genesis is that it's a piece of cake when compared to the original NES version... That rolling-cart-riding stage almost drove me nuts!

Yes, but the NES version is buggy, which is part of the difficulty. I want challenging games to be fair.

[AD2101]

Mars Matrix (DC)

By far the hardest game I have ever played or will ever have the desire to play. I blew threw all my credits and nearly all my lives just to beat it on medium (4) difficulty but damnit I'm proud!

[Kollision]

Yesterday I beat Hellfire in default mode (EASY).
In a few days I'll see where I get in the HARD difficulty, I need to rest my head a little...

[TmEE]

I beat Gleylancer in normal more today morning

[InternalPrimate]

Contra 4 (DS) on Normal Mode.

Finishing the game on any difficulty opens up the "Challenge Mode", of which 4 challenges need to be completed to unlock Contra (NES) and 8 challenges to unlock Super C (NES). I fully expected to go crazy in this mode, but I can't get past the first two challenges :(

[TmEE]

I beat Verytex this morning. The guy who designed last boss is a damn bully !!! It took me QUITE some time to beat that bastard !!! I love the soundtrack of that game...

[Joe Redifer]

Hitoshi Sakimoto FTW!

[Zebbe]

Daze Before Christmas. Hardest game - EVER!

[AD2101]

Mega Turrican. Another one of those games that are really hard until you beat it, then you can play it with your eyes closed. Awesome game though its quickly becomming one of my favorites.

[Parker619]

havent completed much recently but tonight gonna try out original zelda for nes,, and some 2600 games :D after ive ftp'd em to my xbox.. :D

[Kollision]

Hellfire beaten on HARD (with one continue, that freaking first green spacemonster knocked me my last life). Yea right - I'll definitely take on the 3rd level.
Master of Weapon defeated in NORMAL.

[Parker619]

Nothing for a while actually but been working a bit on top spin for ps2 and juiced

[Zebbe]

Knuckles' Chaotix - good ending. Except for the special stages, this is the easiest game ever. At least on the 32X.

[acdc]

i beat double dragon 2 on the megadrive

and i cried what a piece of shit to throw my money away for this stinker

[Parker619]

Super mario Bros NES

god i got scared at the end with 31 secs to go i quickly ran fast under bowsers head and killed him :D got what a crappy ending.. now what to complete next :P

[Novaka]

I recently beat Gears of War on Hardcore, if it counts as 'hard'.

[TmEE]

I beat Sonic 1 Megamix, several times yesterday night... couldn't get the last emerald....

[AD2101]

Finally beat Crusader of Centy. Alright game although I doubt Ill ever play through any of it again.

[Soda Popinski]

God of War
trying hard, and god mode next
also:
Shadowrun

[Kollision]

I just beat Bio-Ship Paladin in Normal.

[seijurou]

i beat god of war 2
amazing game

[Disengage]

Beat my friends high score of Stage 1 of Every Extend Extra Extreme. His high score was 11,337,932,243,418 and I beat it with 16,332,548,380,216.

[seijurou]

today i beat garou mark of the wolves again.
also the ocarina of time looking for all gold skulltulas

[TmEE]

I beat Sonic 2 on SMS few days ago.

[Zebbe]

I have also beat Sonic 2 on the Master System. The good ending ofcourse :).

The vessel was supernear being destroyed in level 10, I was on my last life on the last boss and it was supernear he got me when I changed my speed setting to lowest when I wanted highest... BUT I DID beat him! :D What am I talking about? Gleylancer!

[megabomberman]

Sorcerer's Kingdom, and god did it blow, what a lameass storyline, so unfullfiling, and a horrendous battle system, what were they thinking, the final boss, the pinnacle of an rpg generally and he's beaten doing 3 things (he was a woefully stereotypical dragon incidentally), casting cure on main character, clicking attack with him and using one spell from the black mage (explosion incase anyone cares to know) what a waste of time, the only thing i can say was I am a fool and now i have learned my lesson

[TmEE]

The vessel was supernear being destroyed in level 10, I was on my last life on the last boss and it was supernear he got me when I changed my speed setting to lowest when I wanted highest... BUT I DID beat him! :D What am I talking about? Gleylancer!

Last boss wasn't difficult at all... but few bosses before it were. I used 3rd speed all the time.

[Zebbe]

I thought those balls bouncing up and down during his third form were hard to dodge. But I managed to see through them the last time. The last part was like the final boss of Super Fantasy Zone, so I thought I could use the speed boost. How fatally bad that could have been, it may just have been a pixel between me and him when I had the first speed some deciseconds.

[TmEE]

For some reason I managed to dodge everything without getting a singe hit !!! Its so weird... the last boss of Verytex is tough, really tough... Gleylancer's last boss a piece of cake compared to Verytex's last boss.

[Zebbe]

I have yet to try Verytex... :p

[TmEE]

I beat my 225th game : Socket, MD game, on first play. Great game, lots of fun, great music, great gameplay, great graphics... I think I'll do a review once I get the real cart and finish few other things.

[Kollision]

I recently found my old list of beaten games, in a very ragged sheet of paper I last wrote on in 1994.
Guess which was the last game on the list, # 275?
.
.
.
.
.
.
Arrow Flash !!! Not a very strong title, I know.

Therefore I decided to beat it again. This past weekend I also defeated Bio-Hazard Battle.
Both games were beaten in Normal difficulty, no continues taken.

[Parker619]

taz-mania - SMS

crappy ending imo gets an egg then credits roll up

[Dirt Ball Gamer]

Man I gotta get off my ass n beat some games. I beat gunstar heroes on hardest setting but used a gamegenie with infinite life because I was just playing for fun to see how intense it gets, so that doesn't count. Alright this weekend ima beat zombies ate my neighbors again startingon level one trying for all bonus levels and secrets found and im going to write down my score this time. I used to be deadly at this game. Then im taking out either truxton or zero wing. word is bond

[Disengage]

Played all 162 games my the regular season in NHL 08 with both Buffalo and Rochester. Didn't sim a single game.

[HetmanTancred]

I recently beat A/X-101 for the Sega CD and Shadowrun for the Genesis.

Man, Shadowrun is simply AWESOME!

[Noiman]

Shadow dancer shinobi was the last one defeated. I'm now trying to defeat Atomic Runner, unfortunately i'm stuck at the final boss, lost 4 continues yesterday without even hitting him. WTF???:daze: :daze: :daze:

[Alianger]

Ranger X. Innovative, stylish mecha game. It was a little too short and overly complicated though.

[Kollision]

Beaten:

Thunder Force V (Saturn) - real ending, HARD with no continue.
Burning Force (MD) - HARD, had to get 1 continue in that last damn stage... [EDIT] Last shot, now beaten with no continue.

[Genesis Knight]

Ranger X is sweet. Try it on Heavy, and be sure to pick up the hidden shield 'weapon'.

[GohanX]

Woohoo! I beat Phantasy Star 2!!!!!!!

History:

I have played both Phantasy Star 1 and 3 back in the day getting near the end, but for some reason or another I didn't beat either one. A few years back I got PS 2 and 4 in a cart lot I bought, but put them in storage and never played them. So, it was said that I was cursed, that I would never beat a Phantasy Star game.

After playing through Lunar and waiting for Beggar Prince to arrive, I decided to play Phantasy Star 2. Man, this game kicked my ass, I haven't really spent time leveling since Dragon Warrior on the NES. It really pained me when I got to the Dark Force (I forget exactly what it's called in PS2) and he just totally kicked my ass, no contest. I consult a faq and it said you should be at a minimum of level 35, I was at 28. I popped the bitch into the Nomad and leveled in the last dungeon with auto fight while I was doing other things, including watching the Super Bowl.

When everyone got to level 35, I went to that boss, and put up a hell of a fight. I had to try a few times, but I finally kicked his ass. Went on to the final boss, kicked her ass, and HOORAY! I had finally beaten a Phantasy Star!

[Dirt Ball Gamer]

Ok, i am going to try and beat space harrier for 32x on hard. I love playing this game on hard it is intense! I had a great session the other day got to level nine without getting hit, then just lost concentration as things started happening in my house around me. I find since i stay up all night working 3rd shift that when i come home i am all coffee'd up and can generally play really well in the morning. Better reflexes for some reason in early morning. God i love this game!

[Genesis Knight]

Once you finish, try the even-more-godly Afterburner.

[Kollision]

I find since i stay up all night working 3rd shift that when i come home i am all coffee'd up and can generally play really well in the morning. Better reflexes for some reason in early morning. God i love this game!Neat.
I have recently come to the conclusion that the time I have best reflexes is when I get home from work, around 6 to 7PM. I don't know why, but I had my best shmup scores at this time in the day.
Recently I'm trying to beat Giga Wing (DC) with no continues using this technique, and I almost had it today...

[Dirt Ball Gamer]

Yeah its the after work buzz you have the reflexes are razor sharp! Giga wing is insane, be sure to put up your high score when you finish. The scores in that game are insane!

[Genesis Knight]

Gah, Gigawing 2 was the most ridiculous shmup I've ever played. I think I made a thread about it a while back.

OVAH-KILL!

[GohanX]

Ok, i am going to try and beat space harrier for 32x on hard.

I can't even beat it on Easy. I suck ass.

I make fun of the 32x a lot, but you can't hate a system too much that has awesome versions of Afterburner and Space Harrier on them. I actually shouted "WOOHOO!" a few times playing Afterburner the other day, my girl thought I was nuts.

[Dirt Ball Gamer]

LOL. I always shout "Woooo.. Get some!.. Woooo Get sum! Getme sum Yesss!! Woo" Ever since i watched apocalypse now with the dude in the copter shooting viet cong shouting get some. Hilarious

[megabomberman]

Decided to go play sonic the hedgehog again last night, such a great game, finished it around the hour 10 minute mark, such a great game, lost a few stupid lives in scrap brain but other than that a very smooth playthrough,

Today I've began sonic 3 and knucles again, sonic craze at tht moment!

[Noiman]

Yesterday i finished M.U.S.H.A. Man, this game is just incredible! I will try it on normal level again this evening.

[Kollision]

Beaten:
Twinkle Tale (NORMAL & HARD) - nice little game, don't think it lives up to the hype though.
Gun Frontier (Saturn, NORMAL, 1CC, good ending) - despite its "classicness", not worth of any mention. I had the feeling that to truly defeat the last boss you have to sacrifice yourself.... Has anybody ever finished this game to confirm that?

[Dirt Ball Gamer]

Twinkle tale is a pretty nice little shooter, I still haven't beaten it yet. I kinda play a little bit of it and then switch to elemental master as im trying to take both of those out.

[Smii]

Hmm. In the past few days, I've completed all the Sonics again. People say to me, "Why do you spend so long playing Sonic when you have such a large collection of games yet to complete?" It's probably because I can run through a Sonic game barely having to think at all. Same goes for the SOR games.

[Kollision]

Twinkle tale is a pretty nice little shooter, I still haven't beaten it yet. I kinda play a little bit of it and then switch to elemental master as im trying to take both of those out.From all the games in this same style that I've already played, my favorite one is Elemental Master (awesome music, nice level design). A close one thats also a favorite is Mercs.

[The Sports Guy]

I finally won a show of Family Feud, cleaned the entire board on Sports Jeopardy, and won the cup on Mario Lemieux Hockey. I havent played any sega for about 2 weeks though, Ive been busy with school stuff and busting away Ridge Racer for my PSP. What a game!

[megabomberman]

Just after finishing mega turrican! It was beautiful what an absolutely great game, of a perfect difficulty level...

Really enjoyed it, perfect soundtrack too, just great 10/10

[AD2101]

Yes Mega Turrican is awesome. I must have played through it everyday for the first week I bought it. Actually I kinda want to play it now just thinking about it.

Anyways I beat Metal Gear Solid the other night. Alright enough game (Although not as memorable as Snatcher imo), except killing Liquid Snake got stale after the 4th or 5th time he was supposed to be dead though. He;s probably still not dead which will really piss me off more.

[Iron Lizard]

I'm not sure if it counts as a win but I just got first place for the first time on F355 on Dreamcast on Suzuki Short with all of the driving aids turned off playing the manual setting.

[Parker619]

well just going through phantasy star 2 on sega megadrive collection on psp,, got up to biosystems lab and i should be finished probably at weekend if i play it loads,, this will be my 3rd time completing it once i finished :)

[megabomberman]

Just after polising off the greatest game ever made sonic 3 and knuckles, such an absolute pleasure, the best thing about it is that sonic and knuckles is a lot better so the game improves and kicks on to a new level after sonic 3 is finished... God that felt good!

[TmEE]

I've felt that around 40 times now... and it feels so good that I want to feel it again soon.

[KenshiroX]

I'm going to go through Primal Rage again, not using Talon.

That is, if the spectacular ending doesn't blow me away...

Yeah, seeing the computer's scores always brings a tear to my eye.

SARCASM LEVEL: 9000+

[Smii]

Played through Magic Girl a couple of days ago, and...

Completed Sonic 3 & Knuckles on Easy Mode (Saturn Sonic Jam version). Never bothered before. Yeuch. (Also Sonic 1 but that's not worth mentioning at ALL)

[Parker619]

still playin phantasy star 2,, done quite a bit today,, i was on piata levelling up before uzo island,, so i did uzo,, then did climatrol,, beat neifirst,, did the control tower and got the 4 dam cards,, done red,yellow,blue and green dams,, escaped gaira and now levelling up at skure before i hit the Dezo Towns :D

[Dirt Ball Gamer]

Hey Smiii, how did you like that magic girl game? I hear its pretty good but so far have been unable to find one for sale.

[Kollision]

It's been impossible to find both Magic Girl and Eliminate Down....
I've never seen a single cart for sale!

[Elusive]

I've finally finished Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, and I'm having trouble concentrating on the race when there's so much wonderful scenery in the 80s and 90s Boulevard tracks :)

Plus there's the unlockable Super Hang-On and Crazy Taxi boards, which are AWESOME.

[Parker619]

14:Streets of rage 1 - Sms

[Smii]

Hey Smiii, how did you like that magic girl game? I hear its pretty good but so far have been unable to find one for sale.

Magic Girl's a nice game, & I was happy to find a real copy. Reminded me a bit of Pop n' Twinbee (one of my favourite SNES games). Some of the sound's a bit off, and I don't think hardcore shmup-ers would like it (very much on the easy side, hence the fact I completed it in one sitting) but if you ever see one for sale I'd definitely grab it. Best unlicensed MD game I've played, anyway :)

Eliminate Down's on the Evil Bay relatively often, but will set you back an obscene amount of money!

Anyway, back on topic - I completed the Game Gear hack of SFII. Paid too much for this one, but it's pretty funny. :)
Also played through the Fun level of my Jp copy of Lemmings. If that's worth mentioning!

[TmEE]

227th - Zool : ninja of the "nth" dimension

[AD2101]

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. Awesome game that *almost* makes me wanna go out and buy a ps3 and reserve MGS4.

[Zebbe]

Beat Shining in the Darkness - 1½ time! The last boss could barely scratch me.

[Kollision]

1CCed Divine Sealing and Atomic Robo-Kid.

Just a quick info: in BR Portuguese, Treco (Robo-Kid's developer/publisher) can also have the meaning of "crap".
How appropriate, huh?

[TmEE]

I BEAT CRYSIS !!!!!!!!

228th game in my list

[genocide-superstar]

Subspace Emmisary on Normal (87% in 8:21) Boo-ya! Not really, though.

[Parker619]

16: Sonic 2 - MD

[Smii]

Completed Revenge of Shinobi.

I nearly gave up on that bloody evil maze level, but persevered.

Was also disappointed to find out my copy doesn't feature Batman. Oh, well.

[havok666]

Just finished Strider on Hard, 3 lives, no continues. Good times.

[TmEE]

Trouble Shooter in hard difficulty

[AD2101]

Earthworm Jim 2. I felt like such an idiot because I had no idea the last level was purely a race until I looked up a video on youtube. I thought every last level had a boss battle thrown in there somewhere.

As if the title of that level didn't give it away either :bang:

[TmEE]

want challenge, play EWJ1

[AD2101]

That's next on my list, and it will break under my awesome $K1llz

[Kollision]

1CCed Giga Wing (Dreamcast) in default difficulty (level 4), with 5LVs+4BBs.

[16-bit]

I beat shinobi III on easy, yay for me! (I'm such a noob.)

[Zebbe]

I beat Vay. The last dungeon was annoying and it took forever (45 minutes perhaps?) to kill the last boss.

[TmEE]

230 - Doom3 on normal !!!

[Dirt Ball Gamer]

Earthworm Jim 2. I felt like such an idiot because I had no idea the last level was purely a race until I looked up a video on youtube. I thought every last level had a boss battle thrown in there somewhere.

As if the title of that level didn't give it away either :bang:

I played this on snes the other day at a friends, the underwater race level almost drove me insane. I don't have the genesis version yet but I need to pick it up. EWJ 1 on sega cd is definitly a challenge on hard mode. The bosses get evil.

[AD2101]

Yea that one was also nerve-racking for a while. There is a short cut maybe half way through it, i've never taken it (just noticed it a week ago) which probably saves 6 or 7 precious seconds.

[Smii]

Completed Fray for the Game Gear, lots of fun & one of my new favourite GG games (thanks James! :) )

Also played through Squirrel King - imo the second-best "unofficial" MD game I've played after Magic Girl!

[Zebbe]

I beat Magic Bubble for the Sega Mega Drive. The ending was very nice.

[Parker619]

Fight night round 2 - xbox - Hard Mode

retired from my career with 29 fights,, won 27 lost 2, and 27 knockouts

[Noiman]

THUNDER FORCE III twice on normal level.

I tried to beat ELEMENTAL MASTER as well, but the last stage was plain massacre. You must defeat all the boses you met from the beginning + the final boss. Quite hard i'd say, i will consider trying it again...

[DigitalSpace]

I recently beat Sonic 1, which I've done before - however, this was my first time beating the game after acquiring all the chaos emeralds.

[Noiman]

I beat THUNDER FORCE IV. On easy level, 4 credits needed! Man, it wasn't 'easy' at all!

[Kollision]

Just beat Gradius for the NES on a no-miss run.
In all my attempts I always warped the 4th stage, and I still couldn't figure out why...

[Melf]

#10.

http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/object/780/780082/SMPVGx360PFTfrontboxart_160w.jpg

I got it used for $25, and while it's short as hell, what's there is an absolute blast to play. Great level design, spot-on presentation, and solid gameplay make for a winning combination. The camera sucks on occasion, and the collectibles are almost over the top, but the game is really fun to play in co-op, and it's probably the best Simpsons game made thus far.

I also pwned Thunder Force III on mania last night. It fired me up so much that I'm doing a Double Take article on it!

[j_factor]

I just beat Donkey Kong Country 2. It was alright, but I have tons of better games I could've been playing instead. In the ending, Cranky Kong says I should've gotten all the DK coins and bonus coins and beaten all the Klubba levels. I can't imagine how much of a big fat waste of fucking time that would be. Good god. I feel sorry for anyone who went through all that effort with this game.

[Zebbe]

Isn't it the same as collecting the emeralds in the Sonic games? (i.e. "part of the fun")

[TmEE]

Just beat Gradius for the NES on a no-miss run.
In all my attempts I always warped the 4th stage, and I still couldn't figure out why...

I always get warped too... and miss my fav stage :( I think it has something to do with playing too well in the stage after which you get warped... destroying less things help to avoid the warp. I beat that game with no hits too, one of my fav games shmups NES/FC.

[AD2101]

Condemned 2: Bloodshot

Okay game if only for one part that literally made me and 4 of my friends jump. Weak ending though, one of those really open-ended with a final boss battle so easy you don't realize it until the credits are done rolling that it was really the final boss. Of course I'm not so up to date with modern games so maybe people are used to this kind of travesty.

[DigitalSpace]

I beat Wolverine on the NES yesterday.

[AD2101]

Ristar

And holy crap was the last boss infuriating.
