[FalsettoVibe]

Super Mario Brothers (NES)

Freakin Hammer brothers.

This.

 

[Astral]

I think it was either Pokemon Silver or Frogger 2 on the gameboy color. Super Mario Bros. was my first game ever but I don't remember actually beating it.

 

[red720]

Probably Granny's Garden.

A lot of games I played as a kid were arcade games that didn't really have endings.

 

[bob_arctor]

Hmm. Vanguard on the 2600 maybe? Could you even finish it? I forget.

 

[The Albatross]

Super Mario Bros., NES.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Trojan on the NES, I think.

 

[thewhitehawk]

I can't to be honest, but if I had to guess, it would be a toss up between Contra and Super Mario Bros... or possibly Super Mario Land.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

I cant be 100% sure. It was either Super Mario Bros or Super Mario Bros 3. Probably beat both within a week of each other.

 

[zychi]

1st five:

SMB
Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers
SMB3
LTTP
Maniac Mansion

 

[Platy]

Sunset Riders SNES on easy.

The first game that I finished "100%" was Mario 64

 

[odhiex]

Actually I can't recall the exact game, but I fondly remember I beated this when I was 9 or something ...

So good..

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Adventure for the Atari.

Hmm. Vanguard on the 2600 maybe? Could you even finish it? I forget.

Pretty sure it loops endlessly like the arcade game, though completing a loop as long as that game has can be considered finishing it, IMO.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I don't remember specifically, but it was probably something like Adventure for the Atari 2600.

 

[thelastcrusader]

Mario Bros 2. I'm old

 

[Troubled Bat]

Aladdin! I was 5 years old.

 

[-MD-]

I wanna say Turtles in Time was the first, if not one of the first. I beat Twisted Metal 2 countless times as well as a youngin.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

The same one I first played: Super Mario Bros.

 

[ShinjiPSX01]

Super mario RPG, my first SNES game

 

[Winterfang]

Marvel vs Capcom 2.

 

[finalflame]

Super Mario World, SNES.

Goddamn I love that game.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Super Mario 64. I think I was 5-years-old.

 

[ichtyander]

Must've been something on the C64, but that time was a mixture of watching my brother play a lot, the two of us swapping places while playing and me using cheats a lot, so I can't really remember which one was the first. Something like Aztec Challenge, Raid Over Moscow or Commando.

Actually, it might've been Silicon Syborgs or International Soccer, if you can say that those games have an ending of sorts.

 

[Ryman]

Gotta be Super Mario World when I was 8-9 years old.

 

[Metaternal]

Super Mario Kart if we're talkin' strictly "made it to the credits". First game with a campaign I beat was probably maybe Sonic 2 or Streets of Rage 2. Or Mario 64. Gotta be one of those.

 

[oni_saru]

Ariel The Little Mermaid for the Sega Genesis. First game I completely beat.

 

[Yka]

First game that I played from start to finish with my friends was Mega Man 3. I had played many Commodore 64 games and some NES games before that with my friends but I don't have a clear memory of beating any game before Mega Man 3. SNES was my first console (Christmas 1992) and Super Mario World was the first game that I beat all by myself.

 

[DrRussian]

The oldest game I can remember beating was probably Lego Star Wars or Star Wars battlefront. I'm sure there was something before them but those are the oldest games that I loved enough to remember.

 

[linko9]

Must have been Wario Land Virtual Boy, the first game I ever owned. I'd played games plenty of times at friends' houses, but never beat one until I had my own I reckon. I think I was 8 or 9? Can't really remember dates that well.

 

[Trouble]

Super Mario Bros on the NES

 

[Superballs]

Either Super Mario Bros, Contract, or R-Type for Sega Master System.

I had the SMS first but R-Type was way harder than the other two.

Safari Hunt could have been before them too.

 

[Sword Familiar]

Hmm. I started playing games when I was 4. We initially had Ice Climber and Popeye, and a year later we also got Super Mario Bros.. I'd like to think that I was good enough to beat games at that age, but I don't think that is very likely. I couldn't have know about any of the warp zones in SMB., and beating every level in Ice Climber, I don't think I've ever beaten it without using stage select. No, it was probably a little while later that I beat my first game. I remember my brother beating Kung Fu, something I also learned to do shortly thereafter, so maybe it was that or possibly Super Mario Bros. I estimate it was at the age of 6 or so.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Pac-man, the second being Super Mario Brothers.

 

[Namikaze1]

Yoshi's Island. 1999. I was 6 years old.

 

[Echo Six]

Crimson Skies on the PC. Goddamn I finished that game so many times.

 

[orborborb]

Metroid at age 9, but I definitely used The Official Nintendo's Player's Guide to find some of the secrets.

 

[Breakage]

Despite owning a PS1 in '98, the first game I legitimately beat was Shenmue.

 

[Green Mamba]

I'm pretty sure it was Metroid.

Either that or Super Mario Bros. 3, but I'm pretty sure it was Metroid.

 

[foltzie1]

Congo Bongo. 1983 maybe 84.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Not really. Probably Dragon Warrior on NES or an RPG on NES.

 

[Ame]

Super Mario Bros (NES). I remember having the version that was bundled with Duck Hunt. Fun times.

 

[Anarckhy]

The first game I've officially beaten (without any help), was Midnight Club II. Man, racing Savo was a huuuuuge pain in the arse!

 

[Ziffles]

Contra, first with the code, then without.

 

[brickarts295]

Honest to god, Uncharted 2.
And yeah I played all Ninty and Sony systems before the PS3. But I was one that never finished games. Hell I didn't even finish Uncharted 1 and I played 1 week before the release of U2.

 

[HigherLevel]

Star Fox 64

Every game prior to that I would spend a lot of time playing and whenever I reached a point I couldn't beat after a few days I would start over in them and play the stuff I could beat again. Then finally I beat SF64 and realized beating games wasn't really that hard.

 

[III-V]

The first one I beat single player was Dragon Warrior. Took me weeks, but that was satisfying.

 

[More_Badass]

 

[CaptainofIndustry]

Super Mario Bros. NES. Great times.

 

[TsunamiOfSwagger]

 

[RurouniZel]

Super Mario Bros.

 

[Woorloog]

Nope. I've been a gamer so long, probably since i was 7-8 years old.
Probabilities are i played it with cheats though, whatever it was.
