Mine is Boom Boom Rocket

I am one achievement away from completing all of them.  Anyone who has played this game knows that the Hard level is a PITA.  Getting an "A" on Hard was very tough but even tougher was getting "A" ratings on all of the medium songs.

That's a tough question. I think the gaming accomplishment I'm most proud of was being able to complete the arcade version of "Dragon's Lair".
 
I'm also pretty proud of beating Ted ONCE in 17 games of NHL Hitz Pro.

I'm an not rubbing this in (I'm really not), but winning the season championship with U of Kentucky over Indiana against Jason online was pure elation not only because I came from behind at the half, but also because I had to upset Tennessee to even have a shot at the title.

Other accomplishments that I look back fondly on are:

Winning the Superbowl with San Diego in Front Page Sports Football.  This was the year before the real team went to the Superbowl and got creamed.

Being the top bomber pilot online for one month in 334th squadron server in IL-2.

I've never been able to win the Stanley Cup though.  I've made it to the second round of the playoffs but that is it.

I've only got one gaming moment that I consider to be an accomplishment.
 
The PC racing sim Grand Prix Legends, a dead-on recreation of the 1967 Formula One season, comes with a hot lap replay for each track posted by either one of the developers or one of the beta test team.  Someone, somewhere came up with the idea of combining all these replay laps to form one giant 'track', the object being to beat the total giant lap time and prove it by uploading your player.ini file to the site to form a giant league table called GPL Rank
 
I've beaten it.  I have a negative GPL Rank.  I'm proud of that, immensely so, and if any of you have ever tried to keep a GPL car on track for a complete lap at any kind of speed, you'll understand why.  One of the most difficult tasks in sim racing, but the most satisfying if you manage it.

That still burns me Angry.
 
BTW, we're both still 11-11 in NCAA Football 06.

Adam, as one who has never completed a lap in GPL without at least running off the track I would say that is a monumental accomplishment.

It's funny because I don't usually pay much attention to things I accomplish in games...but I had two this year and both were in baseball games.

MLB 2k7...threw my first no-hitter on the hardest level.  That was pretty cool.

MLB Power Pros...had my first triple play.  Guy lined to first with two runners going on the pitch...touched first, threw to 2nd for the triple play.  Love it.
