Completing original NES Megaman on 1 life.
Completing original NES Contra on 1 life.
But without a doubt, beating Ninja Gaiden on 1 life was the most extreme gaming challenge I ever completed. I hadn't touched that game since about 1990, and in 2011 I played it on a friends old NES. I played that game so much 20 years prior, I still had every single pattern up until the final level memorized, it ended up that ingrained in my brain. It took me 3 lives to beat it 20 years later. And my buddy thought I was the most gigantic nerd ever, and his 3 year old son, thought I was a hero.
