Despite being an avid gamer with tons of consoles and hundreds of games I can't say I'm actually very good at games as a whole. These are few highlights though:

Beating WWF Attitude (N64) and WWE Day of Reckoning 1 & 2 on the hardest difficulty settings. In particular I remember beating Kurt Angle in a submission match during career mode on one of the DoR games (second one I think. That was a very tense session as Angle reverses and counters 90%+ of your offense and you can only keep submission moves on for a second at that difficulty. When I beat him I may have cheered quite loudly.

Getting a good enough time on Toad's Turnpike (Mario Kart 64) to get in the top 5 times in N64 Magazine's high score league... well... I would had they not closed it the month I did it... irritating...

Getting fired after ONE game (a preseason friendly) on Premier Manager 64... despite winning the match. Okay, it was a glitch but it still amused me X_D

Strange thing is now though, when I go back and play Attitude I'm not very good at it. Back in the days before No Mercy came out though I pretty much played Attitude constantly.

I think the perception of stinking at games we used to dominate is mostly because we forget that most games are actually pretty hard and it took a lot of work to beat them initially. You have to learn patterns and react with the reflexes of a jedi (which, granted, becomes harder with age). But through trial and error, you can anticipate, which then helps the reflexes tremendously, be they young or old reflexes. :D

This is true. Plus gaming conventions change which makes it difficult to adapt back to old habits. WWF Attitude plays more like a fighting game than a wrestling game looking back with an emphasis on memorising button combinations specific to a character. Since Acclaim stopped making wrestling games that style has disappeared to my knowledge.
