Dearest, dearest all of you wonderful QB45/QB71 community,

Hello and a most happiest upcoming Thanksgiving to you all.

I want to touch base with you about something really exciting....... something in a form of a real great and THRILLING rush that you actually get when you *finally* beat your favorite video arcade/console/computer game that you have spent days and even months trying to conquer through (say, like a platformer or an RPG or a shmup or whatever the very heck it is at all, really! ). Speaking of which now, here are my three (3) very own greatest video/arcade game accomplishments of all-time so far:

_______________________________________________

• 1 • Thunder Spirits (Seika; 1992; Super NES)
  • Game Level: Maniac (the *highest* difficulty setting in the whole game!)
    Final Score: 2,100,580pts.
    Cleared ALL of the stages in that game level without ever losing a single ship at all. Just try and do that!! :king:

• 2 • Gradius (Konami; 1986; NES)
  • Cleared the *entire* first loop without ever losing a single ship at all.

• 3 • Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga - Class of 1981 (Namco; 2000; Arcade)
  • Using $5.00 worth of quarters (with continues enabled on the machine), I have chosen Ms. Pac-Man and amassed an overall grand total of 387,470pts. as my final score on May 15, 2004!! =b !!

_______________________________________________

Amazingly awesome, huh? As I was playing the above games to get to the accomplishments I got to to begin with, I can assuredly remember that I was pretty nervous and all excited at the same time with that “I know I can pull through!!” kind of feeling in me, you know that? Hey, I did NOT come by it easy, but man, they finally paid off for me eventually in such a rewarding and most satisfying way, even after such intense hard work and teeth-grinding effort!!! d=^_-=b !

Now then with all of that in mind, you are *absolutely* welcome to show us your very best or even your most spectactular accomplishments like that. And I want you people to truly enjoy this excellent new week that is already ahead, too.

Chao!!!



MAKING THE CHALLENGINGLY HOTTEST GAMING FEATS COME ALIVE TONIGHT,

Riven.
Don't laugh :wink:
Finally seeing the end to what is (in my opinion) the best story I have ever witnessed (more so in myst than riven, but riven's ending just made it all worthwhile) is a great feeling.
...Of course then you go into withdrawl and start to wonder if you can make worlds by writing about them, and go through many failed attempts before you're brought back to reality with an unpleasant jolt of realization.
Ah, good old Myst games...
(in my opinion any game after riven doesn't really count as a myst game )

I wouldn't consider this a *spectacular* accomplishment, but as far as video game high scores go this is my best:



I quit after about 10 hours. (I probably could have kept playing forever, because I had so many ships by the time I lost one I had gained at least two....That's on "insane" skill level, btw.)

Sinistron and Sidearms Hyperdyne on the TurboGrafx 16 console.

Both games took about six months' worth of playing time (on and off) to conquer. Both are exceptionally difficult shooters. Both angered me for months. Both eventually fell to my perserverance. :evil:

Only shooters?

Meh, I prefer ANY Street Figher but those end when you beat everyone.

My high scores:

1. Stage 2-7 in strikers 1945 III. My high score was never broken until now and its almost 4 years since I got that.(arcade) First one in the arcades to finish it also. Can also finish the game using any ship.

2. Finished stikers 1945 II. Up to 2-8 with 3 lives left on hard mode. (arcade) and can finish the game using any ship.

3. 3 Level rotation on Gradius w/o loosing a life(nes)

4. 5 level rotation on salamander w/o loosing a life.(nes)

Hardest game? Recca on the Nes. If that ain't hard, you're probably a cyborg.

Yeah. They give you some lame half-assed plot, and then let you play again for free. It's so unsatisfying. All those beat-em-ups (Turtles, Simpsons, X-Men) were the same...

Man, I think I could've paid my tuition with the quarters I dumped down those things. Or maybe not (out-of-state is expensive).

1. Beating Megaman 4
2. Beating Super Mario Bros.
3. Beating World Heros Jet 2 on Insane without losing a match.

Well, I haven't played much games, but here's a short list of mine.

Flight Simulator 2004
- Achievement: landing ON the runway!
- Achievement 2: landing in Queenstown, New Zealand (with Boeing 737).

Bloody Roar 2
- Achievement: Playing out the game in one run with Uriko on the super-insane skill level (this was ridiculous... tremendously hard... ).

Pain Killer
- Achievement: Not dying once while playing out the game on Nightmare skill level.

Unreal Tournament
- Achievement: MONSTER KILL on server with highly skilled players (I'm newb )

I've never finished alot of games. I usually just play a game a couple of times and then get tired and throws it away.

I have finsihed Half Life (PC), Zelda 1 & 2 (NES), Champions of Krynn (Amiga) and now I'm trying to be a great "killer" at Battlefield 1942 (playing on different servers).
