sadly I have not beaten any games in one life (at least not that I can remember, maybe mega man 2, but I'm not sure), but reading this thread has inspired me to revisit some of my NES games. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has tapes and or movie files of their one life feats, I collect them and would love to have some of yours. If anyone wants to donate I'll be happy to provide you with the necessary media to make copies and postage for mailing. PM me if you've got anything.

Great question! The only ones I have really kept track of are Zelda games (because your death count shows on the file select screen). I've done all of them (minus the first two & the oracles) on one life, because it pains me to be reminded of death.

Has anyone heard about this guy in Japan that beat "Ikaruga" (gamecube) with only one life??? It's seems impossible in that game. Well apparently someone in Japan is selling a dvd which shows the guy passing the entire game with one ship. I think it's on hard or something. Anyone know were I can see this video?????

Actually, I don't think that would be so big of a deal. Perhaps, he beat it on one life without firing once?

I realy enjoied beat-em ups back in the day.Sooo...
I specialized in beating
Arcade clasicss like
Final Figth
Captain Commando

But most enjoied
Konami's 1989 "Vendetta" cause u get to continue after the end and there were so many different moves and holds and wile the oponet is on the ground and so on - for the time it was innovative.

Lets not forget Double Dragon too.

You pretty much have to beat it with one life.

When completing a game on one life, I would say it would count if you have an audience watching you do it. Completing a game on one life is an incredible feat in itself. Without an audience, your achievement goes completely unnoticed, no one will talk about it to others, and no one will care.

Here are the games I completed on one life with an audience watching (the ones I can recall):

Pole Position (Arcade)
Konami GT (Arcade)
Contra (Arcade)
UN Squadron (Arcade)
Arkanoid II (Arcade)
Street Fighter II CE (Arcade, using E. Honda)
Mortal Kombat II (Arcade, using Liu Kang)
Blazing Lasers (Turbografx-16, Radio Shack display)
Vs. Super Mario Bros. (Arcade)

The achievements in SF2CE (1993) and MK2 (1994) definitely spread by word of mouth. As a result, I always had someone to play against. I would spend hours standing in front of a machine, with competitors always in fresh supply.

I was also the provincial champion of Super Mario Bros. and everyone knew it.

You're right. I like your thinking.

[bluberry]

I got a few.

Final Fight One on Very Hard mode with Cody. I used the GBA version, none of the cheats.

Devil May Cry on the hardest difficulty setting, no item-cheesing either.

Cybernator for the SNES

Contra 3 on Hard

Castlevania: Dracula X (the SNES game)

Castlevania Chronicles (Original Mode, and I did it on the second loop two. The third one totally kills me, though)

And the coup de grace, Wario Land 2! Wait, what's that? You can't die in WL2? Bah.
