I just busted out the old N64 and popped in 1080 snowboarding. Went to practice mode and after a while I busted out TWO 1080's!!! Never could do it 10+ years ago when I got the game.

How about you guys? What hard ass moves have you pulled off in games past? Things such as Goldeneye 007 invincible cheats count. My list:

- got every platinum medal in blast corps on n64 (extremely frustrating)
- pulled off TWO 1080's in snowboarding 1080 (and got all secret characters)
- got invincible cheat on Goldeneye

Name your skeelz.

beat battletoads my first try. I don't really get why everyone says it's hard.

I beat every level of quake 3 arena on nightmare. Xaero is a bitch.

Got the "Mile High Club" achievement on MW3. That was a PITA.

Like you, I spent lots of time getting the invincible cheat by beating Facility under 2:50 or whatever it is. Not even worth it, lol. I just got a Gameshark and unlocked it all.

cod2 on vet. it's the reason i never play cod games on veteran difficulty since.

getting the "smile" achievement on geometry wars 2, as well as all the achievements in geometry wars 1.

100%'ing burnout paradise. wasn't really extremely hard, but it was very very time consuming.

After watching a challenge on UK gaming show Gamesmaster back in the 90s, I tried to beat the record for fastest completion of the first level of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Sega Megadrive (Genesis). The world record at the time was supposedly 23 seconds, which I managed to equal once.

Beat Ghosts 'n Goblins on the hardest difficulty level on the NES.

Oh yeah, did I mention there is only one difficulty level on GnG?


Besides that, I was able to do a walking flip kick with Guile on SFII in the arcades. Only did it I think twice and have no freakin' clue how I did it.

I hated that invincibility cheat, required too much luck to get it. :p

I worked arcade fighters pretty well. In 6th grade I beat a dozen-deep lineup of high school/college-age guys in the brand-new Virtua Fighter 3. Most of my Tekken matches were also usually won in around 5 seconds.

Beat Bard's Tale on my C64 and had the entire game mapped out on graph paper. I wish I would've kept it so I could show my kids what real computer gaming was about when I was their age.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time for the SNES - on hard, in less than 30 minutes.

Any enemy I could throw into the screen, I did. I used Raphael, and set the running to double tap.

I couldn't kill any of the Weapons unless I used the Knights of Round summon...that is probably the one you're talking about? And Cloud's limit Omnisword or whatever it was...

Yeah, god job. I couldn't beat any of them without either of those.

I was very good at the Ninja Gaiden reboot for the original Xbox. The most recent accomplishment I'm proud of is getting the Pt trophy in Prototype. Those side missions were ridiculous.

I beat F-Zero(SNES) on 'master' and remember having better lap times than were being published in Nintendo Power.

I still proclaim that I'm unbeatable at RBI Baseball(NES).

On a negative note I am still haunted for never being able to beat Blaster Master(NES).

I was able to beat Double Dragons 2 on the hardest difficulty without taking a single hit the entire game. A decade later a friend pulled out the game and I SUCKED completely. It was earth shattering to believe that my skills were gone.
