What Is The Most Amazing Thing you Ever Accomplished In a Computergame?

I managed to play Morrowind at least once every year, yet I have never finished it

Let's see if I can do it this time (with some mods to increase difficulty)

 

-Once, long...ish ago, on a 486 PC, I completed a full game of Angband. Lvl 93 Half-Orc Thief that killed Morgoth (no offence ) on Level 50. That had taken about six months of on-again, off-again play whilst having fun with other things (Privateer, MoO, Duke3D, Quake).

-I also played Eastern Front: 1941 completely through a couple of times...on an Atari 8-bit...with a tape-drive with something like a 40min load time. (quit yer whining, you darn young console whippersnappers with your 'long load times' in GTA and the like! ) I had to leave the computer on with this for about three days since I had to sleep, go to school, etc.

-I completed Zork III (only one I was able to get hold of, back in tha day before Infocom released the trilogy) without aid of cheats or even advice from friends.

-I spent most of a year (after finishing it) of playing around with Deus Ex, trying to push the limits of Ion Storm's 'open-ended non-linearity'. Accidentally, I ended up beating one of the big villians without any direct combat.

Spoiler

As you go through the SeaLab, there's a large room with some monsters you have to get past - I had been trying to use LAM booby traps to ambush most of them - so they didn't swarm me all at once - and never noticed that one or two were left behind...
Once you've reached the final goal and are on your way back, Walton Simons (aka 'the Right-Hand-Man Foozle') will spawn in that room to ambush you. Well, as I made my way up the passage and got my implants ready for a fight, I heard a muffled 'boom'... and wondered when Wally was gonna show up.

Also, I discovered using swords in that game is nothing like light-saber combat in the Jedi Knight titles - one time I grinned and drew the Dragon's Tooth against him, only to discover that I had only a Dragon's Tooth.
Walton and I closed, and we attacked, and both died simultaneously.

Dang, Deus Ex was fun...

 

I made over $10K of real money by selling premium items I've farmed in Diablo and Ragnarok. Gee, I wished I did.



My accomplishments in PC games aren't exactly that illustrious, just minor achievements like...

1. Over at a friends house, finishing over 130 levels in Lode Runner using keyboard on an Apple computer... and then have to let go because it's time to go home.

2. Completing all but 1 puzzle (aptly called Forget-Me-Not) of a PC game called Klotzky during the Windows 98 era. Took me more than 4 hours to finished the biggest puzzle and best of all, there were witnesses.

3. Personal record of Minesweeper: 6 seconds for Easy and 41 seconds for Intermediate.



Edit: Just found the Klotzy puzzle I didn't solved before. So I've finally completed all the Klotzky puzzles.

 

I succeeded with a no-reload solo run through Might and Magic 4+5: World of Xeen.
