I used to be unbeatable at RBI Baseball for the NES. My brother, dad, and I used to challenge eachother at Pole Position for the Atari all the time, trying to get the best time.
Location: In a land without pants, or war, or want. But mostly we care about the pants.
Exp:
Mike Tyson's Super Punchout! - we used to see who could get thru each fighter in the least amount of seconds. Glass Joe went down in 1.8 seconds, Bald Bull in 12.2, and I think the only guy who we could never take out in under a minute was Tyson himself.
I still have my NES in storage, I should take it out and see how I do with old man's reflexes...

I was never any good at arcade games, I used to watch guys finish Bobble Bubble and long for such skill.
I did get really good at Battlefield 1942 on the PC though, to the point that I got booted off servers for "hacking" from time to time.
I wasn't that good with the airplanes, but I loved shooting down airplanes with artillery and the main guns on the battleships! The annoying thing was there was a hit detection bug where if you hit the airplane right on the prop in the right place it ignored the it.

Well I'm not the best, but I am pretty darn good at Super Mario Kart: Mario circuit 1 (1:02:and something, I recall with PAL/ WR is apparently 58:36, but I would like to see any one of you to beat either of those) . I am so good that I tryed to organize a CP tournament at that game so I could prove my superiority, but no one would play with me. Why would anyone play one circuit with SNES from time to time, I don't know (Except me). As all other Finns, I rarely give kudos to myself, but this is the one thing I make an exception. Well, this and drinking booze, I am pretty darn good at that also.
I used to be fairly good at Bubble Bobble back in the day. I was able to get the "good" ending, ie passing all the secret levels and manging to beat the final boss with both players still alive, with regularity.
Oh, and I almost forgot that i am really good at Tetris Attack. Those insane combos were no problem for me with my insanely sharp wits and reflexes, which I train daily nowadays by posting drunken messages to a Canadian-based forum with bad Englihs mine of.
Blades of Steel was my thing and I only had one opponent who could ever come close. We would play countless games where we would reset a tie score after regulation (avoid the blueline shootout) and play sudden death. I always won 1-0 in OT. I could not be scored on. He beat me once and did he ever crap his pants when he did.
I am the best at this video game: Counterstrike - I would always be labeled a hacker, banned from many a server. Was offered a few CAL tryouts every now and then, but I was never really that hardcore.
I am the best at this video game: Ridge Racer 1 (Arcade) - I played this daily at Chinook back in the mid 90's with the old food court and arcade near by. I held quite a few records in that game (and probably spent a thousand dollars on it game too )
If it looks like hacks and smells like hacks it's probably hacks.
But seriously I never trusted anyone who pwned that much on internet servers. When we would play at the local net cafe on the Lan it seemed to be a little more balanced. That being said I know that there are quite a few players like you that just dominate in FPS games.

I would challenge you on this one.. The only game that i have ever mastered.. When i was in college I was in an Automtive marketing program.. we would go and play this game every day..
