Top gaming experiences

[moosie]

Hello All

I'm in a retro mood at the moment and have come across a few "ultimate gaming experiences/achivements" that everyone who considers themselves a gamer should have done. Here's a few examples:

1) Become "Elite";
2) Get all 120 stars in Mario 64;
3) Win Civ 2 on Deity!!
4) Never succumbed to buying a Star Wars game - oh okay maybe there are some good SW games nowadays...
5) Completed Gran Turismo 1 and 2.

What else should be on this list?

Cheers

Paul.

Erm....and others that I can't think of right now.

Fallout II. Pretty much the whole game.

"This one's my dream, and I'm taking it back!"

"I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum."

Etc.

Also, killing Emerald Weapon in FF VII. That bastard used his Air Taim attack on me twice, each time instantly killing two of my fighters and knocking the other down to about two hundred hit points. I still kicked its ass.

Playing through Deus Ex a second time, and actually keeping my 'brother' alive.

In Deus Ex, killing all the MIB + troops who are trying to capture your brother and you. And getting all the way through to the subway.

Ah yes, I forgot about that one. Also, helping Whats-her-name make up with her father, rather than having her run away to California like the first time when I killed her idiot boyfriend. (Sally Jenkins? Sally Dunkins? The chick who was the daughter of the Hotel guy.)

Keeping Smuggler alive, too.
