[Nario]

I forgot to mention

Final Fantasy VII
Beat Ruby Weapon before fighting Emerald Weapon. I did not use Knights of the Round, Mime, or the 7777 attack. It took me 60 hours to prepare for the fight.

[Luxray]

Well....i can't really say much.

NFS: 4-10
100% completion

Sonic Advance 1-3
Legit 100% Finish

Mario Kart Ds/Wii
Triplestar rank for all missions and GPs

GT3 and 4
100% Completion

...i like the fact that most of these games involve speed or racing :3

Hey that reminds me of something.  Beat Emerald Weapon without manually attacking.  I forgot my exact strategy, but it involved Cover, and mass Counter Attacks with Yuffie.

[EngiNerd]

Eh, heck.  I guess I have a couple....

Sonic Heroes: Beat Super Hard mode.  Ironically, easier than about half of Team Chaotix' A ranks.

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb: Beat expert mode (forget what they called it) with all artifacts.  Twice.  I dare you to try it, you'll probably give up around the start of the third locale.

Frogger (1997 Windows version): 100% completion.  You think I'm kidding, but I doubt many people outside this site can say that.  Easily one of the hardest games I've ever played.

Frogger 2: Also 100% completion, that's all coins, all gold medals, and hard mode beaten.

Sid Meier's Pirates: This one requires some explanation.  If you're at sea long enough, your crew will eventually mutiny, and you'll be required to divide your plunder amongst your crew.  Dividing the plunder is undesirable, as it then requires a 6-month in-game wait before your next voyage, and the game will force end if you're old enough (determined by difficulty and special items).  So it's better to hold off on that as long as possible.  WELL.  The way the game is written, getting more gold improves crew morale.  Yet there is a glitch present (I don't think it's intentional), that if you get 1000 gold for each member of your crew, they'll never mutiny (3000 gold and they'll remain permanently happy, which brings benefits during ship battles).  Never mutiny means the game can continue forever.  It's hard to do.  I've done it twice.  It pretty much requires the ability to sack multiple treasure ships (each with ~200 crew) with a crew of under 30, and to do so within the space of a few months (and these things are hard to find and catch).  I've done it twice (on easy, yes, but still) and the second time was on the first voyage of the game.

What was your strat exactly? And how long did the actual fight last? :P

I have no recent achievements. I um...got Sonic Chronicles I guess. It's pretty bad.

[Alondite]

My list of achievements is...quite long...and I can't remember everything.  Anyway, some of the things I've done..

*note* EVERYTHING was done without the assistance of a guide of any sort.

F-Zero GX:

 Ok, now this game is HARD.  I managed to beat every story chapter on very hard, beat every cup on master with every character, and beat every staff ghost.


Metroid Prime:

I managed a 1:07 speedrun


Legend of Zelda:

2nd Quest without dying.  On a side note, I first beat the 2nd quest when I was about 6 years old.  In the 1st quest I did a 3 heart no-death run...have yet to manage that on the 2nd quest run though.


Soul Calibur 2:

I beat arcade mode in 37 seconds, I think.  I'll have to check again, but I'm pretty sure it's 37


Final Fantasy X

Ok...now this one took forever.  First, through massive bribe and steal hax, I replaced and filled almost, if not all of the sphere's on FFX's sphere grid with max stat ups (like +4s and whatnot), cleared the grid with every character, beat every arena monster, built an undefeated, max level blitzball team, and obtained at least one of every item in the game...without a guide.  My file reads like...500+ hours.


Excitebike 64

I beat every one of Matt Flees' records on CS by a fairly substantial margin.  I haven't posted them because...well...it's CS >_> AND because the save on my N64 cart is dead :(.  I'll redo it on a ROM sometime.


Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

All A rank.  Not a big achievement here at TSC, but still an achievement nonetheless.


Halo 2

Level 45 online.  Would have hit 50, but the ranks were reset...and I have yet to play again.  Yeah, I know "lol Halo" and I agree, but around here there are a lot of Halo players, and together we are a pretty pwnsome team. Also, if I had Halo 3 I surely would have been able to reach 50 in that.


Well...I'll add to the list as I remember things...and get more time because I'm supposed to be writing a paper right now >_>

[Zeupar]

Donkey Kong Land 2
100% completion.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (Saturn)
Completed the game. Human hunter stages are pretty hard (and awesome).

Driver (PlayStation)
Completed the fucking last mission within an hour without using cheats.

Perfect Dark
Completed all missions on Perfect Agent.

Star Wars: Rogue Leader
Got 8 gold medals.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Got all heart pieces. A few are really good hidden.

I didn't use guides to accomplish anything of the above.

GT3 and 4
100% Completion

Try achieving the same on Gran Turismo 2. I'm stuck at 99.54%. >_>

[Aitamen]

Oh I wouldn't question yours, my Skyly friend, not at all.  Just correcting that it indeed can be done.

I play on XBOX and have a modded XBOX.  I can port the PSO Files to my XBOX via LAN and hex-edit them via comp...  a bit of tinkering and I found out how to mess with a variety of things.  There are three ways to hack in weapons.  One is to change the drop rate and/or replace drop items (for example, I could recompile the game to drop a Sealed-J sword anytime that a forest rappy would drop a monomate and go slaughter rappies), and the other is to change the initial-equip of new characters, build new characters and swap in those weapons to your main character. The third is to hack a save file.  Most would modify initial equip, as it's fewer variables to toy with, but as you get no enemy%, it yields a very noticible weapon.  While harder, modifying drop-rates it quite a bit better for the weapon itself...

Save-file hacking is rather rare, as it tends to be quite the hassle, as there are no "blank" values with which you can fix the checksum, and there's an 8-digit-hex checksum to boot...  I'm sorry if this makes no sense, but if you're really curious at all I'd be able to send a PM.  To date, I've not heard of anyone in the XBOX community hacking a save-file.

To the GC (Mod-chipped to play modded/pirated games), this translates to people re-compiling the game onto a new disk and building characters with said disk ^_^

[Taillow]

Well, I certainly didn't see this...because I wasn't around in 2004/5 <_<

I can't think of many, but...

Viewtiful Joe: Beaten on the hardest difficulty with Joe.  Most annoying thing I've ever done.  Maybe.

F-Zero GX: Got EVERYTHING except all staff ghosts without use of AX.  Unfortunately, my data deleted afterwards >_>
Either way, I still have everything, but with some use of AX so I only recompleted hard mode of some story missions.  But basically, what Alondite said, but only one cup minimum on master with each character and lack of staff ghosts.

Mega Man X6: Beaten

* Taillow shot

This is a joke one, since the above two are much more of an achievement than this.

Mario Golf Toadstool Tour: Got every character
My data deleted TWICE.  Both times after getting Bowser Jr.  That means I had to complete the 18 hole birdie challenge THREE TIMES.  NEVER AGAIN.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat: All platinum (Woo)

Mega Man games: All robot masters buster only!

I'm sure I have more, but those ones stand out in memory.

Oh, ok no problem :p, wow I've seen sometimes people saying things about hex editing saves and other stuff since I played in dreamcast, but this is purely awesome! I don't have any knowledge about hex editing, the closiest thing I did was create a code breaker code to make 30 items, one in each slot, in dreamcast, but I've never did hex edit, I would like to know at least the basics, if you can really send me a PM, it would be a pleasure ^_^, since I can use this type of knowledge to help the schtserv team. Thanks

[Zeupar]

I forgot these:

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
Rescued all but one enslaved Mudokons on my first play through. >_> By the way, this game is awesome.

Spot Goes to Hollywood (Saturn)
100% completion.

[Aitamen]

I'm reminded of a few more, in reading this.

FF7

Built an Auto-game strat to get everyone to full 255 in FF7 (all stats to 255 via sources w/ only 11 hours manual input) (If curious ask, I'll relay)
I got Aeris to around L70 on my first playthrough and I'm proud to say I found her ultimate limit break without a guide...  thus, I was happy she died, as even though I'm a PLer, I found that ivnc in an RPG is bullshit.
Also on that note, cacem up with a materia setup that allowed me to single-input defeat emerald (I used Cloud's omnislash, and set the controller down and made myself a sandwich...  I won ^_^)  I did this because I didn't have the underwater materia.

MM Series
I've completed all 23 "real" games(1-8, x1-x8, MM&B, ZX1-4) in some form of challenge mode (Initial equip, no damage... except 7 and x7... those I was just happy to finish)

Auto-level strat for FF7, FF8, FF9 (this one took some doing...), FFX, FFX2, FFXII (though someone else found it first, I found it as well) SO2, KH, Xenosaga ep1, FF3j(NES), FF6, PS4 (Super slow and practically useless, but it does go infinite...), and a few others, I think...

I have 100% completed SMet and Met1 (GBA Classic collection, but so far as I know nothing was changed).

Abe's Odyssey was SO pro...  I missed 8, I think, on my first playthrough, but I did go back and get them all the second time around.

Also, since Alondite posted it, I had an FFX save file with 100% sphere grid  (255 all stats, 9999 or ~65khp, 999mp, all characters filled) by using the Cactaur King exploit and picking up 99 s-levels per battle, and then gaining spheres by killing the monsters in the arena.  Also had all ultimate weapons and max stats and all abilities for Aeons, as well as all of the missable items.  I used someone else's chart for an easy way to organize all the spheres on the grid, and I used a guide for how to get No Encounters (more accurately, where to find the things that drop candles...).  I believe it to have been a perfect file, so far as I know it can be.

This was a 748 hour save, with at least 650 of manual input (I probably left it running more than once...)

Also of note, my best friend (The tallest guy in those group photos in "Post your face"), has fully completed F-0GX, including staff ghosts, without snaking.  He's got so much dedication I'm amazed he doesn't do more...

I have that DW3 accomplishment... ^_^

[Luxray]

GT3 and 4
100% Completion

Try achieving the same on Gran Turismo 2. I'm stuck at 99.54%. >_>

Lol...i was like that for GT4 for a while. Damn rallys v_v

[Zeupar]

What was your problem with rallies? I won all races on GT2. I think I didn't get 100% because of a car I missed or the fact that I didn't master licenses (which is tedious).

[Azure]

I've beaten every Sonic game I've owned within the first few days. Rush Adventure only took 2 days of on and off playing, and I can do a runthrough of most 3d games in a few hours.

[Mo]

The only game that I beat was Sonic Heroes.

[Selphos]

The only accomplishment that I -really- care about is that I've even fucking beaten Heroes. I despise it with a burning passion.

Although sure I guess it's impressive that I beat GH3 on Hard within a couple weeks

[Spinballwizard]

Crash Bandicoot 3 WARPED:  105%

Damn you. One gem (one of the Coco jetski levels, can't remember which one) evades me. >:O!!!

Sonic Heroes:  I broke it into 50 pieces and sent each one to a different country randomly with a note detailing how to destroy said piece. 

I'm surprised there wasn't a "shit" somewhere in there. >_> <_<

Also... I beat the Genesis version (which has extra, more difficult levels compared to the SNES version) of The Lost Vikings solo, with a 3-button controller (annoying when you have to drop a bomb while moving, as you use items with Start+C but switching characters is Start+Left/Right, so if your timing's off, you either die because you have to drop that bomb at a specific point, you switch and explode, or somehow you pull it off), on console (i.e. without savestates for the annoying deaths).

[Luxray]

What was your problem with rallies? I won all races on GT2. I think I didn't get 100% because of a car I missed or the fact that I didn't master licenses (which is tedious).

It was the iA level rallies that always got me. Well....one in particular. The last one on the list...forgot the level name but it was combined with El Capitan's Road course.

[Bilan]

Sonic 3 & Knuckles:

Won the latest TSC race! <_<

[Groudon]

Castle Crashers
Got two characters to level 99.  Though it might have been a tad better if I didn't use experience exploits...

Elite Beat Agents
Got an S-rank on every song (19 songs) on every difficulty (four difficulties) as well as over 100 million points total.

Guitar Hero II
Passed and 5-starred Jordan on Expert

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
5-starred all the songs on the main setlist on Expert.

Portal: Still Alive
More gold ranks on the challenge maps than I would have expected to have.

Rock Band 2
Completed the Endless Setlist 2 (playthrough of all 84 songs on the game disc; takes about 6 hours) on Expert in one attempt and without failing (or even pausing).


There is honestly nothing much I can say I've done that's not Sonic-related.  Though I guess it's better than nothing...

[Aitamen]

Also... I beat the Genesis version (which has extra, more difficult levels compared to the SNES version) of The Lost Vikings solo, with a 3-button controller (annoying when you have to drop a bomb while moving, as you use items with Start+C but switching characters is Start+Left/Right, so if your timing's off, you either die because you have to drop that bomb at a specific point, you switch and explode, or somehow you pull it off), on console (i.e. without savestates for the annoying deaths).

I wonder if anyone's hacked that game to put new levels in?

I miss TLV, though i own the second one (SNES), I'm kinda sad that they didn't make more
