Which games had you beaten as a kid, yet now, you have no idea how you did it.

[Mr Phixit]

Double Dragon 2. Even with a friend I cant get it done anymore.

[Firebrand]

R-Type 3: The Third Lightning. One of those snes shmups u gotta clear twice from start to finish. Also, Earthworm Jim for Gen. Shout out from Buttville!

[ifnir]

Dark Earth. Its still a mystery to me how I completed that game as a kid.

[Storm Rider]

For me it has to be Cadillacs and Dinosaurs on arcade. God, we were playing coop with my brother and for the first time in my life (and as a kid!!) I had people behind us and cheering us to go ahead and complete the game. It was summer afternoon I will not ever forget it. I felt like the world was watching me as I stood there playing, in front of the screen trying to do my best. In the end, I got no idea how we got to the final stage and beat the final boss. I just remember that we finished it and all the people behind us cheering (kids and adults all the same!).

It was not the first I got the satisfaction to beat a game, but it was the first time -and only one- I did it in public and it was great!

When I was around 18, I beat DoDonPachi in one credit. I've been playing it like crazy for about a year at that point. What's also weird is I had a dream about beating it in one credit the night before.

[EarthCitizen09]

I was playing Sonic on my Genesis the other night, as I've not played it in a long while. I used to be good at it, now I'm sucking hard. ^^

[RepentantSky]

I found that I'm nearly as good as Sonic the Hedgehog as I used to be. I tried playing it maybe a month ago and ran into trouble in the Power Plant of all things, a stage I used to wiz on through without a thought as a kid.

[Iandille123]

I beating a game called avatar The Last Airbender for the GameCube and at the time I played it I didn't know how I beat it but now I do know how to beat the game

[Magical Sasquatch]

Dracula on the Sega CD . I have no clue how I ever beat that one but I did when I was a kid.

[Flausch]

I remember beating Monkey Island 1 and 2 when i was very young and couldn't properly read yet. No clue how many hours it must have taken to brute force those games completely, but i somehow did it.

[Wolf]

X-Wing Alliance currently stuck on the first Training Mission for the rebellion.
God those Gamma Class Assualt Shuttles are hard to beat.

Doesn't help that my current stick is to precise for that old game.

[Verhoven 69]

Beating the underwater Weapon in FFVII without "Underwater breath materia" (I didn't know there was one that time). It was such a pain!

[Zance21]

Super Monkey Ball 2. More than likely, I just had so much time to try over and over on the stages, and I managed to beat all 10 worlds as a kid. Nowadays, I have no idea how I managed to get through World 8-10 as a kid. Those stages are so frustrating. Took me around 30 minutes just to beat one of the stages in World 9.

[Kero]

Super Contra... I have no clue how I did this back in the days

[DarknessFX]

Finished Killer Instinc 2 arcade with all chars, now I can't barely combo from memory.
