1. When my brother and I beat Contra without using the Konami code we almost destroyed the TV. That was all kinds of awesome.

2. I also beat Final Fantasy on NES when I was five. First RPG I ever beat, and what ultimately got me hooked on that genre.

3. Star Ocean was a big deal because it was the first Japanese RPG I beat. I can read and speak Japanese fine now, but not back then, so I felt like a total badass when I beat that.

I don't remember how old I was (maybe like 8 or so) when I first beat Blaster Master. Yeah, I used the grenade cheat for the four bosses it works on, but I was still pretty darn proud of my accomplishment considering how hard some of the bosses you can't use that trick on are. I've since been able to beat it without using the grenade cheat and without losing a life.

Castlevania would be a good one for me, too. I've told this story before, but, hey, here it is again. I rented it once when I was younger, maybe in junior high. I made it to Dracula in a couple of hours. And then I COULD NOT beat him. I battled him several times as long as it took me to reach him, and I might have came close to beat him a couple of times, but in the end I had to return the game before I won.

Cut to years later, when Funcoland was opening brick and mortar...

It was a pretty big deal to me when I finished Castlevania for the first time. It doesn't seem that hard now, but when I was a kid it felt impossible so when I finally beat it like, a decade later it felt like a bigger accomplishment than most games.

oh wait. i remember the 1st RPG game i've ever beaten. i think it's dragonball Z 2(it's the one played with card battles). but that's easy compared to the dragonball z rpg(covers the part where goku fought his brother until the part where he 1st met and fought whatshisname, prince of the saiyas, father of trunks). it was too easy to over-train in DBZ2, and goku was overpowered.

i remember playing dragonball 3 around the same time, but it was too difficult for me, so...

I'll echo CB007's accomplishment of Goldeneye on 00 Agent.

I'm also proud of beating Star Fox Path 3 without losing a life.

Maybe Paladin's Quest, too, because that is one of the hardest RPGs I've ever finished and few others have.

We might not have had a thread about this subject in particular, but we must have discussed similar things, like the hardest games you've finished, etc.

So, for me, the answer would be predictable. R-Type. It's been the defining experience in my past 10 or so years of gaming.

But that's not something I never believed I would do, since I stuck with it until I beat it. There have been a lot of games I beat only after on again, off again play. (Or have been...

Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom

Hard Hard HARD. I beat this puppy with no strategy guide what-so-ever. Tough freaking game. I think it took me three years of on again- off again playing.

This is going to sound stupid, but one of the games I feel proudest of finishing was The Simpsons: Bart vs. The Space Mutants on the NES. That game took me a long time to beat and it wasn't even really worth beating, but I felt dang good when I finally did! I've played it a few times recently and didn't even get past the first level. I don't think I'll have the patience to ever beat it again.

As for Battletoads, I've made it to the last level and I believe...

i dunno. maybe it's double dragon, PC version. i think maybe it's just because it was the 1st game i ever completed. and ... it does remind me of the younger days when i still played with my brother. we completed that game together, then the game forced us to kill one another. my brother beat me with one lousy punch(we both hardly had any life left after the final robot boss) and got the girl.

that also reminds me of the 1st shooter game i ever completed. again i did it with...

I'd say DuckTales for NES when I was a kid. Not because it was particularly challenging or anything, but because it had to be returned an hour after I finished it. It's strange how that stands out to me.

Without taking a hit? Wow. I've beat the 3 NG games but I'm not that good, and if I played them now, I'd probably suck anyway. I remember 3 took me awhile to finish.

I can beat the entire snakes level, but I usually take the warp in the second room, too. It's not just the snakes that are hard, but the next level (The Fire Zone) is a life-eater, too, although I can beat that one, also. I have never been able to get past the last level however, because there is one part where you must go from a higher platform to a lower one that spins around the tower at high-speed, and I have never been able to land on that lower platform. I hope someday I can.

I generally stay away from the extremely challenging stuff, so probably Goldeneye on 00 Agent.

I hope this isn't a repost of a topic already done, sorry if it is, I searched but couldn't find anything.

What one game are you most proud of completing, that you put down the controller in satisfaction and couldn't believe you finally did it?

For me it was Battletoads for NES. This was back in '95 I think. I only managed it once, and on my last life too so I was sweating bullets. I admit I warped from level 6 to 8 cause I couldn't beat the last part...
