I once beat Super Mario Brothers in 5 minutes, 45 seconds. This was back in high school, so I doubt I could break 6 minutes now, but you never know.
I also once ran under 6 seconds in the 100 meter dash in Power Pad Olympics. No one could beat me. Stacy is no slouch either.
And I used to have a Power Glove. It was so rad.

Were you cheating in your 100 m dash where you had someone else pound the row behind you with their fists?

Absolutely not. I can dust those cheaters with my feet, thank you very much.

No one in my neighborhood could beat me in "Decathlon" (early 1980's) for the old Atari 2600 !! I even beat the game inventor's times and distances listed in the manual...Whoooooo!!!! (gotta say it like Ric Flair to get the full effect)

the best part of the old games was that when things got intense you just had to stand up to play better
also, blowing into the games to make them work is a fond memory

My 5 year old has a V-Smile game system and whenever something does not go right, I will blow the dust out. Not sure if it is necessary or not, but I had to do it so much as a kid it is just ingrained in my memory now. |

I still have an original NES. And blowing into the game still makes them work.
C'mon guys, this is the bragging board! Brag some more!
Tapping on the game also gets it work. I can do it like no other. In addition, I have a magic way of inserting the game just right, so that it barely is able to be pushed down, and that always works.

In college we had some masterful Super Tecmo Bowl seasons. Many a hole got punched into the wall because of those!

No one, and I mean no one, can beat me at Mario Kart 64. And I even play as the girl Peach just to rub it in!

We should throw down sometime. I used to be pretty good back in the day. Yoshi was by far the best. |

Mario Cart champion on the Super Nintendo! None of the fancy 64 bit junk. Semi-old school Super Nintendo is where the action is. You can still play the old school NES games on it (like mario world 1,2,3 etc)

Heck yeah its all about mario kart on Super Nintendo. Battle mode on that one was awesome...just you versus your friend. me and my older brother would battle while we listened to his weezer tape. we were so cool
the only game worth playing on the 64 in my opinion was the original 007 goldeneye. nothing compared to its multiplayer action

Tecmo Super Bowl is one of the best games ever made! That's why I still have my original NES.
And I'm arguably the best Tetris Player I've ever seen. (on that system)
