The Only Witness Was... YOU!

[Ascending Wordsmith]

Ever been playing a game by yourself, and you did something spectacular or out of the ordinary, but when you tell someone about it, they pass you off as ridiculous? It happens to me a lot. The worst part is when I talk someone into watching me play the game, and I'm not able to do it in front of them.

I don't know if anyone else has done this, but on Super Mario Bros. (world 3-3) I've actually caused a Koopa Paratroopa's shell to slide in midair. I jumped off a platform onto a Koopa Paratroopa (winged turtle). He lost his wings, but I managed to land on him again, forcing him into his shell. Keep in mind, this was from a very high jump and all in midair over a GIANT pit, and the third time I landed on him, the shell went sliding through the air like a Bullet Bill does. I fell into the pit after pulling this off, but I did see the shell go across the screen a little ways before the game stopped to acknowledge my demise. And yes, I was the only one around when this happened.

Today, I still try to pull it off in front of witnesses but I have failed.

What amazing feats have you pulled off while playing a game by yourself, but can't perform with others watching?

Well, a lot of ridiculous rumors get started that way, after all. But I think there is a Nesticle movie of this particular bug.

I don't know if this is amazing, but itr was the best thing I ever saw in a video game.

Me and my brother were playing HALO shortly after we bought our X-box. We were riding in a Warthog and being attacked by Banshes. I was driving and my brother was in the rear maching gun. now we are on legendary and this banshee is pounding us. After a long battle, my brother yell"I got it" I go "great, where did it" BOOM the exploded banshee plane hits the front of our warthog. We do a complete frontwards flip , with both of us in the vehicle and land back on th tires, with neither of us getting kicked out of the vehicle....and heres the kicker , the pilot of the banshee ended up in the passengers seat of the warthog.

I swear to God i caught the shark once in Fishing Derby for the 2600. It crashed the game too. I've never been able to pull it off again, and at times I question my own memory of it. But dammit, it had to have happened!

If you play the stunt track in the arcade game Race Drivin', at one point you go up the side of a mountain. There's a cow standing near the road, and if you manage to hit it a loud "MOO" plays over the speakers. Funny stuff.

Anyway, I was playing the game with a friend of mine watching, and I hit the cow, and at the same time I went flying off the mountain and crashed the car. During the replay, I swear I saw the cow tumbling down the mountain after my car. My friend swears she saw it too. I've never been able to repeat that, and I have no idea if it was a random glitch or if it only appeared in early versions of the game or what.

I beat Tyson in Tyson's Punch-Out by descision. I've never heard of anyone else pulling it off and I've seen numerous articles saying that it can't happen.
