first game you beat?
 

On home consoles;

Mario 3- I remember how happy i was, i ran into my parents bedroom and had to tell them right away "I beat mario!" I think i was around 9 or 10

At the arcade:

TMNT 2- I was on vacation on mackinac island and me and my sister kept pumping quarters into the machine till we beat it. I think we spent $50 total 20 of which was used on the shredder clone boss :lol:

What was your first game you beat?

E.T. - beat it with a hammer

Re: first game you beat?
 

Probably Atari 2600 Adventure. That's the first one I can remember that had an ending.

Empire Strikes Back for the 2600 ;)

Super Mario Bros.

Mark me down for "Adventure" on the 2600 as well as my first memory of beating a game.

Re: first game you beat?
 

Although I played a ton of NES, I was too young to really beat the games, so the first game I beat was Captain America and the Avengers for the arcade. First console game I ever beat was Ecco The Dolphin.

The cool thing about arcade games is that you just need some skill but mostly tons of tokens; it was much easier to beat and enjoyable to play games like X-Men, GI Joe, or SpiderMan.

I think for me it was Ninja Gaiden on the NES. Man, that game was tough. I also beat the Contra games around the same time, but I'm pretty sure it was with the famous 30 lives code.

Another "Adventure" post for the Atari 2600.

Re: first game you beat?
 

Final Fantasy 2 and I video taped the end for my then husband, so he could see.

Re: first game you beat?
 

My first thought was, "how the hell do you expect me to remember something like that?" But now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it was Super Mario Bros. The Atari games I had played before never had an end that I saw, except maybe that Raiders of the Lost Ark that I never figured out anyway. And since I got SMB with the system at launch, and other early games like Ghosts 'N Goblins were really hard or didn't have a formal ending, all signs point to it being SMB.

However, I did not beat Duck Hunt, unlike Gryffinmaster. ;)

Most likely some Atari 2600 game 30 plus years ago. Who knows which one, I'm an old fart gamer.

Re: first game you beat?
 

Same.

He never played games again :( I vowed to never let my kids beat me. Now they don't play with me so that kinda back-fired...

Re: first game you beat?
 

Hard to say. Probably one of these two:

Miner 2049er (Atari 400) - the manual said the game was unbeatable. I remember it being hard as fuck and taking a long time to master it, but finally conquered it.

Joust (Atari 400) - doesn't really end, but I did make it to around wave 260+ before I got bored and quit.

Re: first game you beat?
 

Adventure....on a computer...Colossal Cave Adventure I think the full name was...

Re: first game you beat?
 

Pretty sure it was Smurfs: Rescue from Gargamel's Castle on ColecoVision. After that, either Super Mario Bros. or Contra.

Re: first game you beat?
 

Either SMB or Mike Tyson's Punchout

Not sure if I beat Adventure before that, or only watched my older brothers do it.

C64 edition.

Re: first game you beat?
 

PC (well technically Apple IIe):
King's Quest

Console:
Ikari Warriors on NES. Beat it with my buddy. A - B - B - A FTW!!!

Re: first game you beat?
 

Asteroids, got the machine to roll over and start at a score of 0 again. I consider that completing it.

Pac-Man got the kill screen.

Re: first game you beat?
 

I'm going to guess it was either:

Pitfall 2

or

Dungeons of Daggorath
http://i53.tinypic.com/16c85q9.jpg

The later being one of my all time greatest achievements.

Like the rest of you old-farts, Adventure on the 2600 for me as well.
