Goldeneye103X2:
Discovering metal gear online.

Beats cod 4/5's ass anyday.

Agreed. getting it set up is a pain in the ass but once your playing, its second to none.

Wait. setting it up? What do you mean?

when you first go on you have to go through a massive registration process with konami. Plus all the version updates etc take a while to download.

GAH! I don't have to do all that stuff with the demo.

My first real victory was beating Bionic Commando on NES. I still remember taking the swing over the spikes and dropping a super rocket right in Not-Hitler's face through the chopper windscreen.

One of my favourite childhood games....

Once in a CoD4 free for all I had a 9 kill streak with no deaths. Things were going great until the host ended the game. That was pretty disappointing.

The greatest gaming feat for me was actually beating Bowser at the end of Paper Mario 64. I think I was in 5th something grade, with, I can imagine, poor strategy skills. I faced Bowser over and over, but kept losing (and having to go through all the damn sequences again). Then the last time I tried to beat him, the lens in my glasses broke off. I cursed like a 5th grader and did my best repair with scotch tape. I have a clear memory of me taking them off, sticking my nose at the TV, then putting them back on and scooting back, meanwhile sweating up a storm. I had only about 5HP left when I beat Bowser.
I felt pretty damn cool. the scotch tape glasses were no exception.

Beating the T-rex in Tomb Raider 1 with just my pistols.
I later went back when I was older and got the shotgun and beat it fairly easily.

Well for me it was definately beating Civilization 2 when I was a kid. (PS1 version - without cheats, I don't remember the difficulty, if this version even had any to choose, but I guess it was normal)

As for the greatest, I think it was Stalker SoC... the extreme redux mod, on the highest difficulty. It was a great achievment, advancing from a poor rookie with a jacket to a full fledged veteran. I became a sort of a godlike stalker(thats normal in vanilla, but redux... it was difficult). I wasn't invulnerable in any way, but the skills that I had developed, the equipment I've gotten and everything else that comes with it... wow I wish it was an mmo just to show people my character.

I'd like to point out my most bitter vicotry as well. Me and my friend were playing Diablo I on the playstation (yeah it was a long long time ago). Well we came to the beggining of the 14th level without saving. But thhe problem was that the memory card wasn't in the playstation, and I figured, hell I'll just tuck it in adn save. But alas it didn't work. He glanced at me, a tear in his eye, we knew what we had to do... REPEAT THE WHOLE ONE DAY GAMING SESSION AGAIN! :P

BTW this is my first post here, glad that I finally registered. Looking forward to spending some time within this great community.

Probably beating Kind K. Rool in Donkey Kong Country. That was the first game I ever beat.

My greatest gaming victory took place when I was twelve or thirteen, I think. I beat Ninja Gaiden (on the Xbox) for the first time. The funny thing is, before I played that game, I was one of those kids who sucked at games tremendously. Upon going through it, I came out of it a relatively skilled gamer overall. It was cool.

My first computer game victory was when I was about 7 years old and exploring my first MS-DOS game: 'Sim', the people simulator that came out long before 'The Sims'. The game itself wasn't a challenge half as much as it is being seven years old and mastering the right commands to even open the game.

I won the game because once I realised I could afford about 100 lottery tickets a day, I kept buying them until my character had more money than Bill Gates and the game showered the menu screen with money.

Welcome, disturbed_one! Dare I ask if there's a story behind the name?

My first gaming victory was probably completing Golden Axe on the Amiga 500 when I was 8. Good times. Greatest? Beating The Guy in IWBTG. Seriously. I think the final battle alone took me 400 attempts. An amazing design especially for an 'amateur' effort, but rock hard beyond imagining.

I think my first gaming victory would've been playing Goldeneye against a bunch of friends and beating them all. Certainly nothing exceptionally noteworthy, but damn that game was fun.

As for my greatest victory... Hum. TF2. Had a lot of great experiences with that game: I was playing as a medic, as I usually do, on one of the capture-the-point maps, and we were on defense. I was scrambling around, healing everybody as the other team fought us back. I can't even remember how many über's I popped within the final five minutes (or so), and ended up being the last one alive with about ten seconds left. And then, to top it off, I managed to keep the other team from capturing the point. It might not have been the most amazing victory, but damn if it didn't feel awesome.
