    Great topic.

    My list:

    Contra - this game owned my life in the late 80s. The theme music of Stage one and the Base levels are permanently burned in my skull.

    Star Parodia - not the hardest game, but I own it using the PC Engine (the ship, not the system )

    Gunstar Heroes - brings out my Contra skills

    Zelda - havent done it in a while

    Punch Out + Super Punch Out - I'm the KO King!

    virtually every fighting game

    Outrun

    Only ones I can remember

    Morgoth Galaxius:

    "CV3- 1rst quest, once.

    Haunted Castle- US version K 5 times, both Japanese version once. First quests on all of them. Defualt dipswitch settings. Trying for the back-to-back quests one-lifer, can't do it yet.

    Vampire Killer- 5 times first quest, and once back-to-back quests.

    And horribly, CV1 (US NES version) only once:("

    He's working on Vs. CV (arcade version of CV1) which is much more difficult than the normal version.

    Prince of Persia: not just without dying, without wasting time. Never stood still for longer than a split second, bypassed most guards without killing them, didn't stray off the main path for a power potion even once, and didn't die. Finished with almost 40 minutes remaining on the clock. Don't think I can repeat that feat without training, though.

    I've also finished Golden Axe 1 for the PC without dying one time, but that was on an old XT on which the game ran so slow that it was much, much easier. You'd see every enemy attack coming from miles away; the way the game played it was all about tactics and no reactions.

    Anyone remember "Street fighter 2010" for the nes? 1 life. Still a good looking game.

    Has anyone heard about this guy in Japan that beat "Ikaruga" (gamecube) with only one life??? It's seems impossible in that game. Well apparently someone in Japan is selling a dvd which shows the guy passing the entire game with one ship. I think it's on hard or something. Anyone know were I can see this video?????

    I've beat all the nes "regulars" in one life:

    -SMB
    -SMB 2
    -Legend of Zelda
    -Contra
    -Super C
    -Metroid
    -jackal
    -Ducktales, and I'm sure many many more.

    But the 'one-lifer' I can do in my sleep that actually requires a lot of skill is:

    -Castlevania 1 for nes.

    sadly I have not beaten any games in one life (at least not that I can remember, maybe mega man 2, but I'm not sure), but reading this thread has inspired me to revisit some of my NES games. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has tapes and or movie files of their one life feats, I collect them and would love to have some of yours. If anyone wants to donate I'll be happy to provide you with the necessary media to make copies and postage for mailing. PM me if you've got anything.

    Great question! The only ones I have really kept track of are Zelda games (because your death count shows on the file select screen). I've done all of them (minus the first two & the oracles) on one life, because it pains me to be reminded of death.

    Actually, I don't think that would be so big of a deal. Perhaps, he beat it on one life without firing once?

    When completing a game on one life, I would say it would count if you have an audience watching you do it. Completing a game on one life is an incredible feat in itself. Without an audience, your achievement goes completely unnoticed, no one will talk about it to others, and no one will care.

    Here are the games I completed on one life with an audience watching (the ones I can recall):

    Pole Position (Arcade)
    Konami GT (Arcade)
    Contra (Arcade)
    UN Squadron (Arcade)
    Arkanoid II (Arcade)
    Street Fighter II CE (Arcade, using E. Honda)
    Mortal Kombat II (Arcade, using Liu Kang)
    Blazing Lasers (Turbografx-16, Radio Shack display)
    Vs. Super Mario Bros. (Arcade)

    The achievements in SF2CE (1993) and MK2 (1994) definitely spread by word of mouth. As a result, I always had someone to play against. I would spend hours standing in front of a machine, with competitors always in fresh supply.

    I was also the provincial champion of Super Mario Bros. and everyone knew it.
