what game would you bet $100 with ANYONE that you could beat them?

[mailman187666]

If you were to bet $100 with somebody that you could beat them in a game, whether it be a higher score, winning rounds in a fighting game, VS mode on a puzzle game, racing, what would it be? I put this in the classics forum but it can apply to any console game, old and new.

One time somebody bet me $10 that they could beat the crap out of me at MK: Deadly Alliance for the PS2 back when it was a semi-new release. It just so happened that I was conquering that game and didn't believe me I could go through very hard mode with sub-zero without dying. Well I beat the kid without losing and got my $10 but I just ended up buying something off him that was $10 so I basically gave him the money back.

The only other game I may put money on is Kaboom! for Atari 2600 (with well working paddles).

I know there are probably millions of people who could kick our asses at our best games, but I know some of us are confident in our skills for certain games. Also it can't be just out of your group of friends or family, it would have to be a random person or somebody who you don't know how thier skills are on whatever game you'd choose. Also post if you have put money down on games and won.

SNES Super Mario Kart 150cc.

Roshambo.

*POP*

[drewbrim]

Not a video game but I've never met anyone better than me at Ping Pong.

[ooXxXoo]

SNES or Genesis Street Fighter II w/Ryu,Ken or Guile......I can beat any punk, any day at any time.....

[CosmicMonkey]

Sega Rally 2 in the arcade, so I have a proper control set-up.

I also used to be pretty shithot at Goldeneye on the N64. Although I haven't played it in years I'm sure all those level maps would come flooding back. Clocking someone straight between the eyes with a sniper rifle is like riding a bike, you'll never forget how to do it....

I also think I'm damn good at Last Blade, Zero3 and Garou: MotW considering that's about all I play. Confident to bet £50 on a game? Maybe...

tempest 2000 on jaguar. super mario 3 (i know this is a bold claim to make on this forum but im pretty damned good at smb3).

[Nebagram]

Scrabble, any system.

...Okay, okay, I dunno. I used to be able to obliterate people at Micro Machines 2 & its sequels, but that was absolutely ages ago.

[The Shawn]

UMK 3, not a doubt in my mind. (being cocky and arrogant...)

Also the card games: Spades,88, and Hearts. Maybe Scat too.

Bring it biatches!

[Tommy]

I am good at all games. It's a gift bitches!

[norkusa]

The original Top Spin for Xbox. Been a while since I played but I was one of the top 100 Live players in mens singles for a while.

And I'm unbeatable in air hockey. My first job ever was a gameroom attendant at a Chuck E. Cheeses and I'd play on our air hockey table whenever I got a chance. I even invented this special technique of holding the paddle with just my index and middle fingers to give my shots way more power. I don't think I've even been beaten once since then.

[LifeGame]

Gradius Original NES, bring it!

[Red Warrior]

NBA Hangtime on the N64. I've never lost to a human opponent (when playing one-on-one). Once I even beat the computer on the hardest difficulty setting... holding the controller UPSIDE DOWN.

[jb143]

Nim...as long as I get to go first.

[Lostdwarf]

original nintendo and gameboy Tetris BRING IT =p

[Brian Deuel]

The PCB of Tempest, that I could kick its ass.

After all, video games are about man against machine, and beating the high score IMO. That kind of changed with the advent of fighting games, but I think those suck anyway.

[NoahsMyBro]

2600 - Space Invaders

Arcade - Spy Hunter, maybe Arkanoid

Pantech - I loved Gravitar, but almost never saw one, and never suceeded in passing the 'Core' planet on the first level. Can you beat that planet?

[OMF2097]

One Must Fall 2097: Who'd thunk-it?

Other than that I think I should still be able to 1cc Contra and Double Dragon 2 for NES.
