beat the system

In honour of September's theme, I pose to you a question:: Have you ever beat the system?

Gaming system, that is.

Have you ever "wrapped" a videogame? If so, which one, and on which "system"?

I was a original Nintendo master way back in 1990 (it came out in 1985), and I can proudly say that I've "wrapped" the original "Mario Bros" game!!! Boo-ya in your analog face!!!

It feels good to beat the system, doesn't it?!

So, what games have you "wrapped"???

I have to say wrapping Mario Bros is pretty impressive. I never had the patience for it. I was young enough that I would get my dad to play it and get mad at him when Mario would die. Now, I get to world 8 in a couple of minutes (using warps tunnels) and can't get further than that. Here are the games that I've wrapped:

Nintendo:
-Spiritual Warfare (I paid $60 for this one back in the day!)

S-NES:
-Super Mario RPG

N-64:
-Mario Kart
-Star Wars Pod Racer
-StarFox

X-BOX:
-Halo 2 (on EASY - yeah I'm pretty chicken!)

We had other games like CivIII/IV or colonization (PC), where you would finish the game and beat the AI player, but I don't think you could consider it 'wrapping' the game. Besides, we usually did it on a pretty easy difficulty level.

Anyway, that's about it.

OH!

PC:
Minesweeper!

i also did battlefield 1942 (PC) -on easy :)
not much else, although there was that 1080 N64 snowboarding game
i thought we had beat it-all the levels, all the high scores, ice man, gold man, but then i found out there was a 'panda head man!?!'
never did unlock him
has anyone out there ever got him, or is he just legend?
