I got the idea to start this thread from last night. Now, this may seem odd for a video game feat, but trust me, it's something that has never happened to me before.

So I'm playing Secret of Mana last night for many an hour, getting my characters leveled up for any boss battles to come ahead. I was at the underground palace by the way, working to seal the seed and stop the lava flow. Anyway, I decided to throw on some metal music from my CD player(I know, I know, I don't have an mp3 or ipod yet, just shut up please). After everyone made it to lv 15, I ventured on for the boss, and eventually reached him: the Fire Gigas, basically an over sized duergar with a lust for throwing fire everywhere. As the battle started, I decided to pump myself up by throwing on some Metallica. The choice song: the live-in-concert accompanied-by-orchestra version of Puppet Master. Freaking awesome song, listen to it.

Amazingly enough, the song was virtually at the end of one playthrough by the time I beat the boss! That's right, I somehow managed to sync the boss fight length with the song length WITHOUT EVEN MEANING TO! It was almost nine minutes. I'm telling you guys, you don't make this shit up!

Well, that's my feat anyway. Like I said, not that much to do with the game itself, but I thought it was worth mentioning. How about you guys? Did you get through a dungeon without getting hit once? Run through a fighting game without a loss on a high difficulty? Did someone actually beat Ghosts 'n' Goblins? TWICE? Anything at all like that, list it here! By the way, they don't have to involve listening to music while playing.

Also, off topic, does anyone know a good SNES emulator that records gameplay as well as play games? ZSNES doesn't seem to record.


I want you all to repeat after me:

I AM
SOFA KING
WE TODD ED

Now, your turn.*SNICKER*

This Is A Joke

SNES9x

Also, I hate to be the guy to point this out, but there's a similar thread that's still on the 1st page of this board.

What's amazing to me is that it took you 9 minutes to beat the Fire Gigas. Thats like an endurance run or something. I've beaten Final Fantasy IV without gaining a SINGLE level. Thanks Nazi.

Surely you meant "without gaining a level."

NGH! Dammit, I had a feeling there was another thread like this. I just figured I'd make this one because there's apparently three different threads about underrated games on the first page alone, at least from what I saw.

To be honest, the fight would've been faster, I know, but I used too many of the sprite's MP on the goblins, so I was only able to freeze Gigas about 3 times.

It's the first time I've gotten that far on this game. I have a feeling the way I play ALL bosses'll be endurance runs, completely unlike Final Fantasy 1, Dawn of Souls, where I got real close to lv 10 before fighting Garland and then just cruising through everything else.

Still a great feat to me is beating Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, especially with the crazy motorbike tunnel in level 3.

And beating Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past in one sitting that took at least 7 hours, give or take some time counting a couple bathroom breaks, quick food break, and forgetting to drop down a hole in Misery Mire dungeon.
