Two people on here have said mario kart on the snes, yet in my circles they would be average (not even good or close to expert). But it is the game they consider themselves most expert.

Also reg - I didn't know you run SMW. Whats your PB?

I tend to play a smaller number of games to more depth. I'd say at some point i've been "expert" (by which I mean in the top 5% of player base) at Timesplitters 2, Tetris (arguable as it depends on version and mechanic), Advance Wars DS, International Superstar Soccer 2000.

I play it every year without fail and usually manage about 3 1/2 to 4 hours for a 96. Have never been exact, but ready to actually stream and time this year and show that indigo fellow what real speed looks like

Aye good work

Did you know the inspiration for Pikmin was Miyamoto tripping his nut off in Soho on ecstasy

regmcfly

Yes

Space Invaders.
Mastered the high risk technique that abuses the fact they don't shoot on the last rank.

Was also able to consistently get the rainbow bonus in Pt.2 that required you to have bottom row skulls as the last enemies shot.

Could beat both courses on Moon Patrol on 1 credit

The bit most people don't know is that he spent that night with an Italian transsexual prostitute.

Unlikely

That taught him how to play Space Invaders?

Davy has lived some life

Diluted Dante

What else are you supposed to do with a prostitute?

Trials Evo for me I guess, in terms of how I ranked. There are games I've put more time into that aren't competitive, so it's difficult to judge. Am I better at Kerbal Space Program than Trials Evo, given I've put close to 10 times as much time into it?

No expert, but I got good at Geometry Wars Evolved, though Noxy’s score made me look bad. Was also in the top fifty at one point on Super Stardust HD’s endless mode. Mostly I’m awful at games.

Meh. I killed Dubs once. He's not all that.

Its very subjective isn't though? Me and mates couldn't afford anything other than one game a year (£60 a cartridge) so that's all we played all the time, 24/7/365. We discovered some great bugs in the game because we played it so much over and over again. Some of the bugs we couldn't repeat because they were compete random occurrences. You'd also start putting artificial rules in just to change it up. In co-op your mate picking your character or vice versa. Playing as a shrunken character. Not being allowed to use an items. Then they got more stupid, not being allowed to turn right. If you wanted to turn right you'd do a 360 left turn. Sounds stupid but was hilarious. That game was something else. I still remember when we broke the minute barrier on Mario Circuit 1 on 100cc. It was like Mansell and Senna at Monaco when Mansell had to come in for a tyre change due to a puncture. He was all over Senna but couldn't get past. Same with my mate, one of those races where I was attached to his rear bumper. We were so engaged that we didn't notice the time we got. When we did, we just sat there I'm disbelief. So many memories, good times.

I'm not sure it's subjective. They're expert, you'd play them on battlemode and you would lose 10-0. You'd play against them on match race or GP and you'd simply never ever win. I'm not sure you can call yourself an expert at a game when there's another "level" clearly demonstrable above you.

You guys....

I remembered - Super Tennis on the SNES. I'd take you all down with big bad John.

Always been too busy being great at real life stuff to bother with video games. You know real stuff, in the real world.

Things like erm, hmmmm

Had to let you have some of those wins in the end cos I'm a gentleman

Dont think im super elite at any particular game but one of the call of duties (either black ops or mw3) I got ridiculously good at. Knew the maps really well and would speed run through death match and team death match. Hours were given over to this game.
