I remember trying to get the maximum amount of coins in every Super Mario 64 level. Now THAT was tough! Mainly because it was barely impossible to run three times around the wooden pole on the small island in “Little Big World” and then dive into the water to try and get all the coins that jumped out of the pole to all sides. Wow, I think was into this game so much in 1996 that I was just making up challenges to keep playing it haha!

So what’s your greatest gaming achievement?
