I once got through them all as well, but it wasn't pretty. Nicely done! Thank you for not flexing on us.

Kguillemette | 1,544 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I came in second at a Guitar Hero tournament before at a local bar back when it was the bee's knees. Won ski lift tickets to Sunday River up in Maine. Pretty cool prize! I wound up having an awesome day! I was never going to beat the eventual winner though. He was one of those "pro tour" gamers. I think he won a couple hundred bucks in gift cards to local businesses. I thought I was in good shape when I 5 starred Number of the Beast, then he goes up and full clears Through the Fire and flames! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to hold my own with him back in the old days of the weekly contests, but he's as good as anybody that I've ever played against. I should change my answer to "anytime I beat @rdrunner in a head to head competition". Edited October 26, 2022 by Bearcat-Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 984 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I'm reading this as "achievement" as in, using skill to progress in game. Theres some things game related that I'm proud of, like making a character in a Yacht Club Game, or winning a contest to have a weapon patched in panzer paladin (mines the xenomorph) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bogomil | 815 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 My favourite/best achievements are probably: 1/ Beating Ninja Gaiden 3 with no damage/deaths. 2/ No death Contra 3 on hard (done that quite a few times since though). 3/ Beat my Mario Maker level before they introduced checkpoints or anything (not a big fan of the 2nd half of the level in retrospect). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very very cool!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first heard Tom Votava's name when I started on Twin Galaxies. It's absolutely INSANE the things he's done on the NES. If you could hold your own with him, you're doing great. Respect, Tom ( @rdrunner ) , respect. I also liked it because he was smashing some other guy who was kind of a D-Bag, hahahaha.... Rudy J Ferretti? Hahaha, if my memory serves..... Tom smoked him all the time, and this guy was not stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
