It Can Be Done!
In case anyone missed it, read Tripp's post on the joy of gaming nostalgia first.
Considering the magnitude of accomplishment that comes from beating such a viciously difficult game, a proper press release will follow. But for now, witness our collective triumph!
Does anyone out there remember that section of Nintendo Power where players sent in photos of the games they beat? Some of them even had the kids posing next to the TV, holding the controllers, looking tough...
We should revive this tradition on our blog. I'm sure with all the gamers we have in our program, there are plenty of us finishing games. Just take a picture and post it on your page in a category named "Victory!" whenever it happens. We'll set up a page that collects them all. Keep a camera close by...

ohhhh...ya, loved that section, in NP. I want to hug you. I always had such envy of the glorified few that graced those pages. I dreamed of beating Double Dragon and sending my Polaroid.
The category is true victory. Conquering the system, completing the story, we triumph in a renewed sense of accomplishment and agency.
You did not feature yourself; where are you? If this tradition is to ride, the winner(s) must also be featured to prove to all that they were there, they finished that fucking game! Scott could have snapped this photo!?!?
