I'll start. I play a lot of games, and usually finish 100% of most games I care too, which is nearly all of the games I touch. Which is bragging in itself, I guess. But the ones I'll point out are ones that stood out...though I think some of you will find them a little ridiculous.
Soul Calibur II (Arcade) - 10000 Wins in Conquest Mode
I think this one's a little unfair, cost-wise, as I worked at Playdium for over a year (some of the best times of my life, since work and play were so intertwined!) - and one of the benefits was having a half-hour TimePlay card with every shift. (Playdium fitted all their game machines with a swipe-card system, so people could either purchase Credits or TimePlay on a convenient PlayCard.) So essentially, this would've cost me A LOT of money if I didn't have that advantage.
Anyway, I specify the Arcade version because it has one mode the console versions don't have - the Conquest mode (though one area in the console games' Weapon Master mode actually has the same music and layout). In Conquest mode, you create a character, join one of four armies, and fight (computer-controlled versions of) others from opposing armies to increase your rank and gain territory. When one army takes over the world, it starts again with each army having 25%, and the top four players are, by default, resdistributed to being the leaders of the four armies and it starts all over again. That part comes and goes, but your personal record of wins and losses continues as long as you play often enough to keep your character account active.
I used Nightmare, and called him "VGMAPS.COM" (seriously). I started playing and soon got addicted, enjoying the whole part about raising my rank. For a while I tended to work weekdays, when it was quieter in the mall...and so I noticed the regulars, including a guy who used Cassandra (who he named Kai) who was probably challenging my record. As I got more wins, so did he/she. When my character encountered his character, I was impressed that she gave me a challenge. (Or rather, that he used enough moves with her that the AI version could kick my butt as often as I kicked his/hers.) We never really spoke (I guess I didn't put off a friendly enough vibe) and even though I'm sure he knew I worked there (he bought Credits from me a few times) he still wanted to put in the time and money to keep his rank comparable to mine.
In single Conquest rounds, which put you against eight opponents, I had a habit of consistently finishing them all off in four minutes. So by my estimation, if I never had any losses, for 10000 wins, it still would've taken me 5000 minutes...or 83 1/3 hours. So, say, maybe 85-90 hours including losses. On an ARCADE GAME.
And I did get that 10000 wins. I played a little more, but not much...Kai had given up by the 8000s, so I had no more rivals. And it got ridiculous that one day I came in for a whopping 750 games (using a few monthly two-hour TimePlay cards)...yeah. Anyway, Playdium soon closed a few months after I quit, sadly, and the arcade machine was auctioned off...I wasn't going to buy it for $1000, but if I actually had to buy all the Credits necessary to get 10000 wins, it wouldn't surprise me if it would've been about as much or more.
Animal Crossing (GameCube) - 999999999 Bells without the use of an Action Replay
This game is an example of more tedium. I don't know if Nintendo just wants you to find a way to cheat, or to seriously play often enough to do this. One piece of "furniture" in Animal Crossing is the Post Office Model, which requires a maxed-out savings account (1 Bell short of a billion Bells). But it really takes a long time in normal play to save up to a million...how could anyone get a thousand times that much? It would take years - many more than most people would play for.
Now, some people resorted to using cheat devices - such as the Action Replay - to punch in a few codes and voila: a lot of Bells or a Post Office Model or whatever.
But not me. I managed to do it without resorting to something so simple. I did it with an in-game glitch...but it still cost me a lot of time to do, so in a twisted way, it really does count as a kind of accomplishment.
Using the "doppleganger" money-making method (leaving town on another Memory Card, then removing that Memory Card and resuming your real save game as if you never left, leaving you with a Gyroid doppleganger of yourself to play as, then taking out all your money and throwing it outside, then coming back to town as yourself - with your bank account magically back to what it was when you left, but all your money also sitting on the ground outside), I was essentially duplicating (or "duping") my money. But here's the catch - the GameCube game only let you have bags of up to 30000 Bells, and each bag would take up a whole space. And the increasing distance between the Post Office and the next empty space made each run-about longer. Typically I would fill up four acres in one hour, which would allow me to "dupe" 22.5 million Bells, so it was part of my daily routine for a while. About a month and a half of doing this majorly tedious run-around just about every day, I finally got to 999999999 Bells. Which means that I dropped, duped, and picked up about 33334 bags of money. You're thinking I'm a lunatic now, I'm sure, but at least I have my Post Office Model.
Star Wars: Rogue Sqaudron II - Rogue Leader (GameCube) - All Gold/Ace Medals (including Endurance!)
With the drought of GameCube games worth owning in the first year of its life, I revisited my first purchase (which I had bought a week before the GameCube itself) - Rogue Leader. I figured I might as well try to earn some more Silvers, after finishing the game with mostly Bronzes and only a couple Silvers. Now, I was NEVER any good at any game involving flight...or at least I never felt I was a fluent flyer. Yet with not much to play at the time, I just kept going at Rogue Leader...eventually earning all those Silvers, and then some Golds! I soon had enough points to unlock Endurance.
For those of you who don't know, Endurance is the fifth bonus mission, devoid of any story. You're just flying around above the Death Star, as 99 waves of TIE Fighters come at you. Actually, it's not really 99 waves...every tenth one is of Imperial shuttles whereupon you get an extra life.
Each wave is a flurry of craziness, unless you use a certain technique, in which case it becomes a test of patience. The best method is to use the Naboo N-1 Starfighter, fly really far out, then as all the TIE fighters far behind you seem to "line-up", you turn around, fly into and through them with lasers blazing. You'll get a bunch but likely not all of them, so each of the 99 waves takes a few passes and takes a couple minutes.
It is an awkward feeling. It's tedious, but you don't want to screw up so you try and stay awake even though you think you can be doing it in your sleep. If you were doing this, you probably would have gotten used to never considering losing any life (especially to have gotten all the Golds in all the other missions beforehand), so you would freak out if an errant action sent you smashing into the Death Star below. I remember losing two lives on one of those waves with just shuttles. >_< You don't want to waste what would soon be a three-and-a-half hour ordeal by being careless. It's like reading a phone book to save your life or something.
The first time I did it, I was extremely nervous nearing the end of it. Though it's been said that surviving Endurance is a near-guaranteed Gold, there's still the slight possibility that maybe I shot nothingness a few too many times, hurting my accuracy. Or something. That little twinge of "uh oh" is a big scary moment as you wait for the medal to show up on screen after knocking out Darth Vader's TIE in the final wave...and it feels longer than usual...and then BAM! GOLD! I was absolutely ecstatic.
But then I realized that I'd have to do it again in Ace Mode. >_< Which I did. o_0 But let me tell you, 7 hours of just shooting TIEs is enough to drive people crazy. So, you know, don't...unless you're sure you want to and can handle to insanity of repetition. And be hopeful that there is never a power outage during those runs...
Anyway, now I know I can beat games of less-familiar genres if all I have to do is spend more time with them.
Pokémon: Ruby Edition (Game Boy Advance) - Growing 100 of every berry (except Enigma)
Plant a berry, water it often, come back later, voila, more berries.
By my estimation, I spent as much time, or maybe slightly more, tending to the berries than actually trying to catch all the Pokémon.
Some berries, like the much later ones, only grow one more after 3-4 days. Sure, if there was room for a straight doubling-up each time, it should only take a few rounds to get to 100...but there wasn't the room for that, I had to travel enough as it was from the Berry Master's dirt patches to a few nearby ones, and so it took me months to get 100 of them all. Months! What insane hoops will I have to jump through in Diamond/Pearl?

This is the one gaming accomplishment that I'm actually proud of. Talk about an adrenaline rush.. It is the kind of game where even though the challenge is extreme, you're grinning the whole way through. Part of this is because only one or two of the tracks are actually unfair. The rest may seem hard at first (see Mute City: Serial Gaps, Lightning: Half Pipe, Sand Ocean: Lateral Shift, and others) but once you figure them out, you just have to execute.
The only two courses that I can't consistently get first on in Master Difficulty are Big Blue: Drift Highway and Phantom Road: Slim Line Slits. The former is mayhem with 30 cars on Master, and though I can get in the top 5, I need a lot of luck to win it. The latter is just too much - I usually hang on for the ride and not try to do too much, since by that time I've won the Cup already. But those are the only two that I feel were too hard. The rest were, at times, an exhilarating challenge, but were not unfair.
With that being said, Master Difficulty wasn't altogether too hard for me to finish. I had memorised the tracks and perfected my boost management by the time I got there, so it was fine for me. There were some frustrating times, though. Memories of being metres away from the first in Serial Gaps, then boosting on the bump and flying out of the track.. yeah, good times. But unlocking the AX Cup was a thrill - I spent too much time doing it. The tracks themselves in the AX Cup weren't too special and were pretty easy, but it was getting there that counted.
The Story Mode was hard. I don't know how I got myself through it, but needless to say, I became a master of pushing Start-Down-A-Left-A consecutively.
In the end, though, it was worth it. What a game.. Nintendo should really buy out Amusement Vision.

I just can't bring myself to put enough time into a single game to make any great archievements. Usually my interest has waned to zero by the time I beat the singleplayer mode but with many games it's even faster and I finish maybe the first 10-30% of the game.
Maybe beating R-Type on the Gameboy (only the first run-through) counts?

I once jumped off a ladder backwards in Turok 2 and at the height of my backward leap, fired off a scorpion rocket that headshotted my brother's raptor who waited to headshot me at the top of the ladder, resulting in an epic maneuver!!!

Super Mario 64 and 64 DS- all stars collected
Mario Kart 64- completed Nintendo's Power challenge of completing the course in 1:30 seconds (i believe that was the time) for a gold controller. I did that track many times, and was thrilled when I beat the time, sadly I was not 1 of 3000 or so to get a gold controller.
Beat Rygar for NES (nothing huge but I know some say the game is too hard)

Ok, I didnt get an A on the first time around, but I did in Challenge mode.
Beat everything on Super Smash Bros. In less than a year
I even did this without any guides. The reason mostly is because i spent forever playing the original, and was really good by the time this came out.
Got 6 of my pokemon up to level 100 on Blue Version
... only for it to be deleted by my brother a few months later. I even did it without any cheats.
I know ive done more, but thats the only things i can think of right now. Be back when i think of more.

Similarly, my favorite thing to do in that game is to fly very close to asteroids so that pursuing TIEs crash into them. There's no more satisfying crunch in the entire game than the sound of a TIE getting slapped out of existence by a big rock.
So yeah, accomplishments. I don't really pay attention to that sort of thing. I mean, even for the single game I was best at, Super Mario Kart, I don't recall any particular accomplishment. I just remember being really accomplished at the game. My best friend and I played it so much that red shells stopped being the most dangerous weapon because we were too good at avoiding them. I remember racing them to corners, leading them by mere inches until I got an item to block them with, and even hopping over them (one time he managed to hop one and stop so that he was inside its turning radius, causing it to circle him forever; of course he doomed himself that way). Our most deadly weapons became the green shells, which we could snipe someone with from across a level, even banking the shots. Our matches tended to come down to racing through narrow passages filled with traps while trying to get shots off at each other. I've never become so good at a single game since. There have been others that I became very good at -- Action Quake comes to mind -- but I felt like I had SMK beaten on some higher level. Of course, I always wonder if I was really that good or if a single game in a real tournament would have broken me.

And the other day I beat the computer in Baseball Stars 2 (which is hard in itself because the computer NEVER swings for balls) without any effort towards my pitching. I just pitched straight across the plate and relied on fielding to save my ass. Then when I batted I used the powered-up bat every time I could and immediately put my pinch hitters in at the beginning of the game.
I do have a big accomplishment regarding game collecting however. I bought a Star Fox Super Weekend cart at a used game store for only 3 bucks!

The biggest one for me is probably getting the sound test in SSBM. My brother and I just played that game non-stop until we did it. He would play after school and then when I got home from work I would take over and we would tag back and forth.

I guess I have to go with Ian on this one, I am not the greatest game player around either and beating a game is a big accomplishment for me (besides those few accomplishments I've listed). Back a few years ago I was pretty good at gaming, but now days I don't have the time to play alot. A game has to be really good to keep my interest from beginning to end, which is why I do prefer games on the easier side so I actually have incentive to beat it. Of course, when a new Mario 3D platformer or a new Zelda come out I play them from beginning to end, and you can't drag me away from the TV! Anyway, also like Ian I am a big game collector, if a game looks fun I will get it even if I don't have much time to play it (I have a large collection of games for PC, GC, Xbox, PS2 and most of the retro systems as well. Sadly I haven't beat the vast majority of them lol).

For some reason Kaileena looked way hotter in-game than in the ending cut-scene. She looked kinda fat and had some weird thing on her head (hair? some mark?) that I didn't see before. The Dahaka was stupidly easy compared to her.
I was going to mention that I finished FF (I) - FF IX, more than most Final Fantasy "fans" that I know can actually claim. Even three different versions of IV (North American II, translated Japanese "HardType", and Advance)!
Post by: vudu on June 27, 2006, 10:07:50 AM
The Dahaka was a cinch compared to the Empress. The speed move (where everything slows down and the Prince moves super fast and the screen turns red (hold block and then tap the time key (L in the GCN version; not sure what it is on PC))) made that fight laughably easy. The Empress battle was just annoyingly repetitive.
I hear Two Thrones is much better. I look forward to playing it whenever one of my friends buys it used and loans it to me.
EDIT: As long as we're talking about FFIV, I beat over 500 Princess Flans in a row without getting a Pink Tail. Does that count as an accomplishment?
EDIT #2: I just thought of two real gaming accomplishments. First, I have won two games of Windows Hearts without taking a single point. I have also won a game by putting all three computer controlled players over 100 points.
Second, I have played a perfect game of snake on a Nokia mobile phone (by perfect I mean I got to the point where my snake grew so large it was able to occupy every single space on the screen at once, thereby ending the game).

wow i forgot about super mario kart. im with you man, i used to be able to hop over the shells and snipe people from across levels too and it was such a good feeling when you have a friend over who's never played against you before and come from behind with such skill. my copy of the game was stolen a long time ago though and when i finally found an old used copy, it only worked half the time so i never had a chance to relive that glory. sadly i don't think i'll try to on Wii's virtual console either; i cant play it extensively anymore, when my copy of the game does work my eyes water after five minutes and have to turn it off.

Why is this an accomplishment? No one's ever done it to my knowledge and this variation had a magic system in place where if you say put points in healing then death would slide down, etc. It seems when they designed Mr. Wasp he wasn't suppose to get levelled like that because he ended up doing massive damage and casting the top Spells from every one of the Branches. I love that Wasp. Now if I could only transfer him to other games.

I beat the Super Nintendo Jurassic Park video game.
This game was a hybrid top down adventure and a first person shooter. The game was alot of fun, but didn't get the praise that Sega's Jurassic Park got.
The biggest problem with the game though, was that there was no save feature or password feature at all. And the game played much like a Zelda or Metroid type game. Running from one end of the island to the other collecting keys, weapons, and such to complete the game.
One Summer day, I spent seven straight hours working on the game. Carefully, going through the levels, avoiding the Raptors and T-Rex. I had not yet memorized the levels, or even old enough to think about that strategy. So much backtracking was done, but I finished the game, finally right before Dinner time. My parents were upset with me taking their television time away from me...but I was just happy I completed it.
It is a fond memory of mine...but the ending sucked. When you finish the game, you run to a helipad, and you see a mode seven effect of the island, zoom out as you fly away. Then credits.
Nothing else.
I felt a little upset with the ending...but I don't know anyone else whom has beaten that game.

I think the record speed run is something like 54 minutes, so that was pretty darn good. I gave up after that, because I was tired of trying and I got a girlfriend, and for some reason girlfriends aren't that impressed by that kind of thing.

Because I play one game and my brother plays the other each generation, and because there's always enough different handhelds (GB Pocket and GBC, then GBA and GBA SP, and DS and DS Lite (thank goodness)) we can do it without buying more than one of the same model. I'm not sure I would be getting Diamond and Pearl if not for the DS Lite, honestly.
I am, however, still missing a couple of the Legendary Beasts (I hated their randomness and I never got around to truly playing Collosseum yet even though my brother has the game), as well as legit versions of Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, or Deoxys.
I think there's someone else I'm missing too, for whatever reason. I'm sure Diamond/Pearl will make me want to catch them all again, but I hope there aren't too many I won't be able to get this time around.Pokémon Box is really useful for sorting Pokémon. It really should've been available in more places. I got mine online and love it, though I wish FireRed and LeafGreen could've been played on it instead of just Ruby and Sapphire. Not sure about Emerald...

If so, yes.

I beat Shenmue in a weekend. I thought it was horribly overrated. Haven't touched it since then.
I got the 'Crazy' license in Crazy Taxi. I'm sure it's not that rare, but it was an accomplishment for me.

In Wario Ware Twisted I maxed out the score (999) on Frank's Hop To The Top in the Spindex. Here's a really bad picture as proof.
It's really hard to take a picture of your Game Boy Micro.
Do I rule, or what? That took nearly a half hour to do (the score, not the picture).

I beat OoT and only died 3 times. I could probably do it without dying now.
My friend has beaten every Zelda without dying I think...
I had 220 pokemon in silver, but lost the cartridge...
I beat Tony Hawks American Wasteland in a rent, probably one of the easiest things in the world.
I beat Space Quest 6 when I was like 7, Kings Quest 6 when I was younger than that.
I have 8 xbox games but not an xbox
