nosweargamer Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 High scores, speedruns and simply completing some games can be a big deal, but what are some of your greatest in-game feats that you have pulled off. For example, getting a hole-in-one on a golf game, taking no damage against a tough boss or pulling off an insane combo. Here's one personal example. Recently I sunk the entire pond on Thin Ice for the Intellivision. It may sound easy, but it took a ton of tries to pull off: HDN, Rocker67, GRay Defender and 3 others 5 1 Quote The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDN Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Beating SMB1, Super Metroid, Luigi’s Mansion, Super Mario Land and World, etc., were all pretty big for me when I was a wee lad. socrates63, nosweargamer and Rocker67 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I don't recall pulling off any feats worth remembering in all my years of playing video games. Sad, but then again, I've never considered myself much of a gamer skill-wise. The only thing remotely in-game feat-worthy is something that's not really a feat 😂 I've been playing Halo Reach in Firefight mode (waves and waves of enemies, no story) for about ten years. Earlier this year, I finally up the difficult from Normal to Heroic (Easy --> Normal --> Heroic --> Legendary), and I managed to finish classic firefight mode (set to one round) a couple of months ago. I felt pretty good about that, and it gave me the courage to try Legendary difficulty (that experiment was extremely short-lived). nosweargamer, RickR, HDN and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Issues Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 One good thing about streaming is, when I do something cool, I have a record. lol... Got a hole in one on Mean 18 for the 7800. (Think I called it "Mean Green" in the video... I was excited.) Also "Wooch" is another streamer who does a lot of golf streams. socrates63, HDN, Rocker67 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker67 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Some of the biggest feats for me might seem pretty simple for some. My main ones were beating ET and Raiders Of The Lost Ark on the 2600, rolling the scores on Asteroids and Video Pinball, and getting high enough scores to qualify for Activision patches but never getting a screen shot to send them in. Talking about that, I need to track down the guy on AtariAge who sells reproduction patches so I can see if he has Kaboom, Laser Blast, and the Starmaster ones. nosweargamer and socrates63 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeJ07 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Managed to reach 1 million points on Laser Blast in the Activision Classics game on my PSP, back in the day. That was A LOT of tedious laser shooting, I can tell you. But it was super satisfying to finally hit 1 million and watch the number counter roll over to !!!!!!. I used to have a photo of the feat, too, but it's off in the Google Cloud somewhere now. HDN, nosweargamer, socrates63 and 1 other 4 Quote "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.

If we're talking about the same person (Machine) then he doesn't make repro patches for games that received official ones. I believe all his patches are for games that did not have official Activision patch. All his patches are shown here: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/308314-activision-atari-patches-new-patches-12-12-2020/ But if it's someone else then let us know 🙂 Rocker67 and nosweargamer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDN Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 This. This is my greatest achievement. The ring isn’t cracked. Rocker67 and nosweargamer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
