Which game do you have the most experience with? Thar you know like the back of your hand? Pic related

[Anonymous No.3337790]

Sin & Punishment. Turbo mode.

das my shit rite thur

[Anonymous No.3337814]

Probably Super Mario RPG.

I know the location of every invisible block, all the hidden weapons, secret areas, easter eggs, ect.

At some point when I was a kid, I was stuck living in the middle of butt fuck nowhere with only an SNES, Super Mario RPG and a few other games to entertain me for a good long year, and SMRPG was the one I played the most.

I don't think it's THE game I've played the most, but it's up there, and it's definitely the one I remember the most, while other games I still get a little lost or I don't quite remember where some of the secrets are.

Super Probotector.

[Anonymous No.3338082]

Link to the past. played it religiously. 100%'ed it, too, which is a point of pride for me.
ball and chain knight, the dude right as you rescue zeldor the first time, still gives me a mild adrenaline rush from remembering the first time.

[Anonymous No.3338086]

>>3337757
I-I don't have one. I wish I could look back and remember all the vidya I've ever played. Maybe there's something.

[Anonymous No.3338192]

>>3337757
Megaman X probably.

[Anonymous No.3338269]

It's a so all around racing game you can actually master most of simcade games when you know how to play it.

[Anonymous No.3338315]

>>3337757
Alex Kidd or MegaMan 2 for me.

[Anonymous No.3338368]

Probably UT99.

My skills have likely faded over the decade since I last played it seriously, but I'm certain I could still run through any of the standard DM maps backwards for five minutes and almost never back into a wall.

[Anonymous No.3339189]

metroid, zelda1... most of smb2 and 3

I spent a lot of time at home alone

[Anon-ee-mouse No.3339216]

>>3337757
Sonic 2 was my jam, and I can always pick it back up and get right into it. Same for Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit (PC obvs, cause PS1 sucks dick).

Loved F-Zero X, Mario Kart 64 and The Castlevania Adventure (of all things, but it was my go to GB game).

>The Castlevania Adventure (of all things, but it was my go to GB game).
hope you at least played it on a Super Gameboy

[Anonymous No.3339913]

Punch Out. I remember all the special moves that the opponents use and remember what to do. Only exception to that is I never managed to beat Mike Tyson

[Anonymous No.3340543]

All Strike games, especially Jungle Strike and its infamous jungle level with the F-117, you had to make lots of trial on errors to perform this level

[Anon-ee-mouse No.3340561]

>>3339225
You kidding? I played that shit on green and black no lighting screens. Only legit dot-matrix for me.

[Anonymous No.3340594]

I've played this so much I can beat the game in around half an hour. I used to think it was hard until I memorized the pattern for pretty much everything.

[Anonymous No.3342225]

I memorize most parts in most mega man NES games and ninja gaiden. Beating them flawlessly is a different story though

[Anonymous No.3342373]

>>3338269
more like, simcades are all the same bullshit, and if you played one, you've played them all

[Anonymous No.3344535]

This one... 100% complete (with all characters and all emeralds)

[Anonymous No.3344769]

>>3337757
Same I get all the emeralds in the first two acts along and play the rest of the game as super sonic.

[Anonymous No.3345850]

>>3337757
mega man 2

[Anonymous No.3347473]

>>3344535
>not having completed save files with all possible character combinations with no emeralds, and all emeralds, on each of them
>not starting over from scratch and doing it all again at periodic intervals throughout your life
>not having 99+ lives on your regular Sonic alone file because he's the best one to play for fun

[Anonymous No.3347483]

>>3344769
>he actually plays the game in god mode

Casual.

[Anonymous No.3348719]

Pokemon Red I guess.

[Anonymous No.3348740]

Spyro 2 and 3
I'm at this point where I can just think about the games and play them in my head

Spyro 1 not so much, I never owned it as a child I only rented it and never beat it until like 2010

[Anonymous No.3348756]

>>3337757
Sonic 3 for sure, Also Star Fox 64.

[Anonymous No.3348763]

Pokemon gen 1

I've even completed the pokedex on a Japanese cart.

[Anonymous No.3348778]

>>3337757
Megaman Legends 2 and it's cheat codes.

[Anonymous No.3351550]

>>3337757
im not very good at arcade shooters, never really been a fan of them, but ill play them sure.

but this game.... it was my gateway drug into the genre when I was 8yrs old because some kids mother my mom knew wants the new playstation so she sold my mom his genesis (that I ultimately got for xmas that yr) and this was one of 3 games.

long story short, I know every enemy placement, I can dodge it all like a true asian master race, and sing along while doing it.

[Anonymous No.3351585]

If we /vr/ then I'd say Metal Gear Solid. I pretty much have every guard route and item location in my brain. Still... the REX battle makes me scratch my head sometimes, to this day it somehow manages to be a bit unpredictable - even with the 'go under it' tactic.

I'm even more invested with Snake Eater though, I could probably write most of the script out of my head if I had to.

[Anonymous No.3351589]

>>3337757
About a month ago I was playing sonic 2 at a friends house and he was shocked that I stopped playing when I lost my first set of lives.

I had like ten continues and he was like "wtf man you still had lives"

I tried to explain it's not worth beating a game I've beaten several times without trying to do it in one credit and it seemed to blow his brain.

[Anonymous No.3351610]

Sonic 2, Pokemon Blue, UT99 and Metal Gear Solid especially.

Nice to see all of those in the thread too.

[Anonymous No.3351648]

This one by far. Though I obviously don't know everything there is to know, I think I might know practically everything there is to know about this game conventionally, like best paths to take on the overworld to reach the end, where all the weapon spawns are and all the places where you can rescue your captured turtles, as well as most effective enemy and boss strategies. I even memorized the damage table for each enemy in relation to each turtle and each sub weapon, so I know exactly how many hits it will take for each turtle to kill said enemy, both with and without damage boost, and the same goes for sub weapons.

Other than that I know how to utilize some useful glitches as well such as how to manipulate the currents in the dam to not activate until the end, making that level much, much easier (I managed to beat it a few times without taking damage thanks to that). The only thing I've not really done with this game is speedrun it, which is extremely optimized and not something I consider worth the effort in the end.

[Anonymous No.3351703]

I speedran DKR for a couple years so I know that game inside-out. That game whooped my ass when I was a kid, and now I can get 100% completion in about 2 hours. It's a nice feeling.

[Anonymous No.3351773]

Super Metroid
All of the Slums in FF7
And one particular stage of F zero because I always tried to beat my uncles fucking record.

[Anonymous No.3351781]

>>3351773
why do you have a fucking competition with your uncle? And I can tell you, F-Zero, of all things, is not the right tool to beat a fucking record

[Anonymous No.3351818]

>>3351781
Well i was maybe 8 or 9 and that uncle just finished high school. It was a competition between several family members. The console in our family was at our grandmas house and we'd go there every Sunday for spaghetti dinner.3 of my uncles, 2 of my cousins. We'd take turns at varying points in time to try to get the fastest time. Though i never came close. Later I'd kick his ass in games like warcraft and command and conquer.

Reread the post he's replying to and think dirty.

[Anonymous No.3353228]

Link's Awakening.

[Anonymous No.3353231]

>>3337757
Starfox 64 for maximum comfy

Megaman 2 for kicking ass

Super Metroid for both

[Anonymous No.3353260]

I think I know every spot in Ristar where you can headbutt something to make goodies fall from the sky.
I pretty much have Sonic 1 memorized to the point where I could replay it in my imagination.
Also, when I replayed Sparkster for Genesis a few months ago I was surprised to find I still knew where every sword was (the ones you collect to get gold armor), the boss patterns, and when to make your mech bump or punch in the running mech level. I think if I replay Animaniacs or Cool Spot in Genesis I will have a similar experience.
I didn't get out much between ages 9 and 12.

[Anonymous No.3353262]

>>3353231
Your list is good

[Anonymous No.3353669]

>>3337757
So, so many. Many early games are so basic you can learn everything about them in one sitting. Others you explore so much there's little if anything left to find. I think anyone who played before walk throughs and save states became the norm is in the same boat.

[Anonymous No.3353968]

>>3337757
I can hear it, it's playing in my head.

[Anonymous No.3353971]

I've played a lot of NES games. If I had to choose one I'd probably say Contra.

[Anonymous No.3354053]

Wow, no Super Mario World yet? I actively seek out hacks of it to this day because the original is something I've beaten probably more than a hundred times by now (and 100%'d a good handful). I'd say Mario RPG is up there, too, but I never did get all them invisible blocks.

[Anonymous No.3354062]

>>3337757
Sonic 2
Sonic 3 (didn't have Sonic and Knuckles)
Pokemon Gold
Mario 3
Ducktales
