I would have to say beating Ninja gaiden 1 was a good victory. Ninja gaiden 2 was so easy I beat it withought continueing.
I also perfected Mega Man 2. I didn't have to use any special weapons throught the whole game on HARD mode. It was the only game i had for months.

Does anyone remember a game on the NES called "Street fighter 2010" (2020?). It was such an awesome game to play. I played it so much that I passed it withought loosing one life....very very hard to do. I hope they make a remake of it one day.

But my greatest achievement was passing Final Fantasy 3 (snes). Not that it was hard but it was such a damn good rpg. Probably the only rpg Ive played over and over and over again. Still the best rpg every.
never played "star ocean" though...
