i BEAT the original ninja gaiden on the NES on pure skill (no gamegenie, no emulators and savestates, actual cart, console and controller, took me years but did it) also ive beaten all 6 NES megamans, UN Squadron on hard difficulty, Demon Souls, Super Meat Boy, also every single especial monster in every single final fantasy game (xcept 11 and 14 cause i dont do MMOs) all of those completely legal wins, unles the game is glitched to be unwinable (like some levels on the first battletoad on the nes) there is always a way to win, just keep at it again, again, and AGAIN, then again some more, if you get to frustated quit for a few months to cool down and try again (thats whit it took me years to beat Ninja Gaiden, also for some reason the original Sam and Max on PC also took me years, no faq, no hintline, no magazine, no friend to ask, no nothing just my noggin and the game i got stucked for months at a time)
