godslabrat Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Maniac Mansion for the NES. The ending was absolutely worth it. Of course I still own it and play it (I have yet to beat the game with every combination of kids) If you have an NES and haven't played this game, shame on you. What was the first game you ever beat? Was the ending worth the trip? Do you still own it? Do you still play it? Would you recommend we play it too? Just curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800Lover Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) The first game I ever beat was Adventure for the Atari 2600 if you count the Atari era. For the NES era, the first one was Mega Man 3. I no longer own the game but it's still my fav of the NES Mega Man titles. Play this game, says me!

Inky Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Chopper Command. Got to 1,000,000 points. I was so proud! And I beat Pitfall 2 with a perfect score once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I think the very first game ever was Adventure for 2600. I can't remember my first's for all consoles but I believe Legend of Zelda for NES and Phantasy Star for SMS were also firsts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nester Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hmm, I'm not really sure. I was pretty little when the NES came out so I didn't often finish games. Most games were too hard for me back then, and I liked playing them more than beating them. I doubt it stood out too much when I beat my first one. Years later I finally went back and beat all those old NES games that I had played almost my entire life. It took me 15 years to finally beat SMB 2. The first game I beat was probably Duck Tales, or maybe Gurella War. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I think it would have been Adventure (2600) and then Raiders of the Lost Ark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8bitgamer Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Tarzan for the ColecoVision. Still own it. Dated, but beautifully illustrated game. Very much ahead of its time in terms of action/adventure games. http://brettweisswords.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Probably Space Invaders for the 2600. I know that it doesn't have an ending, but I rolled that game 3 or 4 times in one sitting. I finally had to turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 When I was about five or six, I was showing my babysitter Haunted House for the Atari 2600, and I actually managed to beat it. Yes, I still play it, and I would recommend it. It was definitely the precursor to survival horror games. For the NES, I'd say Super Mario Bros.

Lemmi Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 2600 - haunted house was my first ever i think i even did all the options, then adventure, then pitfall 2 are the ones i remember 7800 - Pole Position II nes - Zelda 1 and 2 then Shadowgate, Defender of the Crown, Uninvited, Déjà Vu, Maniac Mansion, Super Dodge Ball, i never cared to beat super mario bros untill the SNES version came out i recommend all of the games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technosis Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I guess it would have been Demon Attack for the 2600. I really didn't beat it, since I hit the infamous "kill screen" where the game goes blank and the game seizes. It was expected though as Imagic had slipped a note sheet in the game saying that if you reached this level you had "survived".....and yes it was lame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segataritensoftii Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'm more of a newer school gamer, so I'd have to say Rocket Power: Gettin' Air for GBC, which was also the first game I ever owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRGilbert Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 All right, I'll be the first one to admit it. The first game I ever beat was E.T. which I got the same Christmas as my 2600. Shortly followed by Adventure, Haunted House, and Raiders. Later in life, I know I beat Super Mario Bros on the NES, but I can't for the life of me remember how it ends anymore. I came THIS CLOSE to beating Tyson in Mike Tyson's Punchout until my roommate loaned it out to someone (it was his) and we never saw it again. On the Genesis, it was probably Flashback: The Quest for Identity, still probably the best Genesis game ever made. I also beat Sonic 1, but again, can't remember what happens. I know I beat Subterranea also, very cool game. Earthworm Jim was another one that I got all the way to the finale, and couldn't beat it, gave up years ago, same with Alladin. On the 32x, only Doom, but I still love it, but never really played any other version either. On the PC, probably Duke Nukem 3D, awesome! Then I'd say Quake 2, Max Payne, and Deus Ex. Speaking of DeusEx, by far the best PC game ever. Totally open ended gameplay, multiple endings, just incredible. I'd say more, but Albert might just think I was kissing his ass. Right now, I'm working my way through Demolition Racer: No Exit on the Dreamcast. Almost there! If I do, it will be the first game I've beat in years.

JamesD Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Oh man... I totally forgot that I finished DOOM long before Tomb Raider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Tarzan for the ColecoVision. Still own it. Dated, but beautifully illustrated game. Very much ahead of its time in terms of action/adventure games. http://brettweisswords.blogspot.com/ ...damn, how many times we got to the final stage until we realized we had to do the "tarzan yell" by pressing a keypad to actually FINISH the game....lol, but of course it just loops over again. Sure was a great game for it's time, awesome graphics. My first finish was the NES version of Trojan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impaler_26 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I guess Haunted House for the 2600 was the first game i ever "finished", followed by E.T. for the 2600. Oh, and does Seek and Destroy II for the C64 count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntavio Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Superman or Adventure for the 2600. Don't remember which I beat first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
