Becoming store champion in Pasadena, California, for the 1994 Blockbuster World Video Game Championships, with my badass high score (on my ONE chance) to play the tournament edition of Donkey Kong Country. Somewhere around here I have a GLOW-IN-THE-DARK plaque. And I got 2 free rentals per month for 12 months. And a sticker. And a pin.
Teaching my mom's friends how to beat Contra when I was 5.
Beating SMB1, SMB2, SMB3, and SMW, all without dying, in a little under an hour total.
Beating SMB1 in under 6 minutes.
Beating the first level of SMB1 with my eyes closed.
Beating Mario Paint.
