A GameChallenge is some self-imposed variant on a VideoGame that makes it much more difficult. This is generally accomplished by removing some abilities from the character's list, but occasionally is done by requiring a certain path to go through, or a certain time limit, etc. They are usually more complicated than the standard "no dying on level whatever" challenges, and are generally things that the average person wouldn't think of.

One of the more famous GameChallenges is the FourWhiteMageChallenge, which is to beat FinalFantasyOne with four white mages as your party.

All of these have been successfully completed (except as noted) (!).

Artifactless has been done several times, as has from-the-top no shops. At least one person has beaten nightmare mode. The artifactless bookless ranger (a high elf) won.
