What is YOUR game?

[Sureshot]

What game do you simply believe that nobody can beat you at or play better than you?  In the past, I was quite the Sonic player, and believe I could complete the game, collecting every item box possible in a pretty quick time.  I did in fact claim a (fake) golden joystick for winning a competition at Sonic when I was about 9 or 10, beating people much older than me at time trials on Spring Yard & Scrap Brain Zones.

In more recently times, Super Puzzle Fighter 2 is my trick hand.  When I worked in a games shop, my boss, colleagues and customers who used to come in would play.  This happened for around 3 years, until finally my boss (who was generally regarded as the best player around) decreed no more would be played in the shop after I beat him for the last time, as he was unable to beat me even once over a course of 10 games, and destroyed the CD .

So enough of me blowing my slightly out of tune trumpet, what games are (or were) you THE best at?

I rock at Baldur's Gate. I can finish it in a day, with 2 hands tied behind my back and blindfolded.

I used to be very good at need for speed 3 and moto racer, but I lost the skills for those games after I stopped playing them.

Great topic.

If only I was actually that good at any video games.  I'm going to claim for now that I'm the Where's Waldo champion of the world, because I can probably beat it faster than you, and I'm the only one here who would want to anyway.

You mentioning NFS just reminded me of two games I did in fact have MASTERED in the past: Diddy Kong Racing and GoldenEye.  I played Diddy Kong Racing ten times over in all directions and upside down, and could go for days without food if it meant getting a time I needed in that game.

I was so good at GoldenEye that people often made me play with handicaps maxed against me and in their favor, and I STILL won.  I got so bored with that that I started playing with the two-controller schemes, one controller in each hand.  That was tough as nails, but I could still beat most people with it.  I eat Oddjob for breakfast.

I got to pefection on DOOM on the PS1.

Could take over at nearly any point, from a friend in trouble, and finish the level with at least 100% health & armor.

Skill? Dunno, I just always knew where the monsters were, and would often shoot as I turned, before they came into proper view.

Can't really manage it now though

[thx1138]

right now, right this moment my game is "Fire Shark" for the Megadrive.

I'm not saying that I am the best player, 'cos I am not, I did however just complete it.

Well I got to stage 10 and finished it, and got the congrtatulations animation, then I turned it off when it restarted.

The King of fighters 96 the saturn version. I am very good with king

When I was in High school, I was the King of Dig Dug at the arcade.
Nobody was even close

During the Early 90's I dominated in all the sega football games

These days it's not hard to find someone who can beat me
at most games....although, I did do pretty well on a Centipede game we had at
work until a year ago

I know River City Ransom (both NES and GBA) inside and out.

It's rather ironic that this topic came up when it did, because I am going to send a record into Twin Galaxies when I get home today.  Just yesterday I beat the world record at Taz for the Atari 2600.  The old score was 330,500 and last night i got just over 343,000 points.

I've also never found anyone who could beat me regularly at Street Fighter.  I have one friend that is pretty even with me in terms of skill.  If we fight 10 times, we are going to split it 5-5.

[Lord Nepenthean]

Wow, congrats on your high score in Taz!  That's quite an accomplishment for sure.  I'm not so good at games where points are involved, so I respect that.

[Sauza12]

Thank you! :rock:

W00T!  congats!  we'll have to check that out!

I more or less dominate everyone i have played in Goldeneye i got 36 kills in 10 minutes in a 3 on one match and only died 4 times on license to kill.

[Lord Nepenthean]

You pretty good with proximity mines?  I can ANNIHILATE anyone in a proximity mine contest.  You'll die ten times consecutively, before you can even move, because I know all of the spawn points.
