Have you beaten a tough game, have you beaten a long game swiftly, or have you accomplished any other unusual feats in a retro game? If you have this is the place to talk about your accomplishment! My most impressive feat was beating the main story of Star Ocean: Till The End of Time for the PS2 in under 12 hours during a speed run! I look forward to hearing other Nintendo Lifer's accomplishments!

My greatest retro accomplishment was to beat the first zelda game. Without walkthrough

I feel like I don't know is appropriate here. Theres been so many things that were such a challenge that I don't know what would be considered the greatest accomplishment.

Battle.net - Dayman
Steam - RancidVomit86

I never beat the game, but I did get to the third stage of the final boss fight on Ninja Gaiden a couple times.

Beating Mike Tyson maybe?

I'm not good at this signature stuff...

Arcade version ? NES one has lots of cheap tricks that can be used to beat it.

Yesterday I beat the level 32 Shank on the original Castlevania using just the vampire killer and no II or III or anything like that.

I looked afterwards to see how other people did it on Youtube and everybody just used some spam of either the cross or holy water.

Castlevania 3 on the Wii VC without accepting any help (I didn't know what was going to happen and didn't want to start again so said no) on the Alucard route.

Best is probably the original Metal Slug MVS difficulty 1 credit clear.

So does the arcade version. But yes, the NES version has more.

I think it was getting the one billion point award in Pinball Fantasies: Billion Dollar Gameshow. I got so addicted to trying to get that jackpot I probably spent around 10 hours trying to get it.

I like makin' games!
Future Pinball games!
Petit Computer games!!
and SmileBASIC games!

Beating ActRaiser 2 on all difficulty settings
Almost beating the first Super Wagyan Land on the Super Famicom on the day that I got it (even though it was back before I used notes for the shiritori puzzles, which took me awhile to get to the end blind--a few hours at least)
Beating the final boss of Ys V Expert on my first try (considering the final boss in the previous four Ys games took me several tries to vanquish... not that it says much for Ys V's actual difficulty, really)
Beating Brain Lord in around seven to eight (non-consecutive) hours; if I could, I could try to beat it in less

There are so many great accomplishments that I've accomplished in retro titles, but I just cannot name them all

To each their own

Me and a friend managed to play through the hovercraft stage in Battletoads together without losing a life - ironically, we lost nonetheless, at the rat race.

I beat Megaman 2 on 3DS VC without using save states(yeah I even took note of the "save" passwords and everything)
I'm not much of a retro gamer.... though I really wanted to play more retro games.

goodbyes are a sad part of life but for every end there's a new beggining so one must never stop looking forward to the next dawn

I've never beaten him with the holy water, never even fought him with it. Always boomerangs or just the whip for me.

It is a bit like the cheap way that is in the video on Rondo of Blood to beat the 4 forms of Death with Maria. Get to kill him with holy water before whatever the things are he fires even get released.

The first one is quite reasonable I thought with just the whip it is the second quest one.
