Do you remember the first time you saved the world?

[TallanKhan]

The very first Sonic the Hedghog for the Sega Mastersystem.

 

[Wraithspine]

I Saved the Princess in Mario 64,
The the Galaxy in Lylat Wars (Starfox 64), (If that counts
Then the World in Ocarina of Time...

 

[Da Orky Man]

The first time I 'saved' the world, billions dies. Out of the entire planet's population, Only a few hundred thousand survived, and they didn't even know they had.
It looked like this:

 

[King of Asgaard]

Spyro 2. I remember being over joyed as I saw Ripto plunge into the lava on his iron bird. Ohhh yeah.

Until they retconned his return in an awful sequel.
OT: This, or possibly ridding the world of maniacal swine by throwing their leaders into magical bags in Tombi 2.
Yeah, 'twas awesome.

 

[Elgnirp100]

Spyro 3
Seeing the Sorceress slowly sink screaming into the blue...lava(?) was the first of many satisfying world-saving actions

 

[Gabanuka]

I stopped the moon crashing into the earth and wiping out life as we know. Pretty proud of myself.

Definition of 'Saved' 'world' 'first' have been blurred by my brain over the years...

Mushroom Kingdom - saved - Super Mario World
Middle East - Peace Achieved - U.N. Squadron
Hyrule - Princess Saved - The Legend of Zelda
Mars - Bunny Avenged - Doom
Earth - Evolution Acheived, Dark Gaia Destroyed, Peace for the Futrue - The Illusion of Gaia

So If you call it down on the world, this world, Earth. My First would be the Illusion of Gaia

edit: The above list is not in any particular order of beaten first, just in a general 'when I can remember my earliest'

 

[saintdane05]

Ah, yes. I do. It looked a bit like this: <Youtube=o0ncJ5Ijftc>

 

[Tropicaz]

James Bond - Tomorrow never dies on the ps1. That, formula 1 '98 and the original worms were the first 3 games i got with my playstation at aged 5.

It looked like this:

What game is that? It sounds awesome

OT: Final Fantasy IX. I saved the world from a war criminal whose ego was so large that he became a nihilist due to his realisation he wasn't the best and wasn't immortal.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Super Mario Land on the Game Boy Pocket. I guess that might be more saving the princess rather than the world, but it was the first game that I completed and at an age where I usually didn't finish games due to being immensely thick (I was only like 5 at the time). So it was kind of a big deal for me, even if I may have thought him kissing a girl was gross at the time. XD

It was Homeworld, a truly excellent 1999 space strategy game, the first to have full 3d movement. A rather depressing game at times, especially the beginning, but really worth playing.

 

[Slash Dementia]

That's a tough one. I remember that I didn't finish anything on the NES, but I did on the Sega Genesis, so if saving the city counts, I did in Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage.

If not, then Croc: Legend of the Gobbos on the PS1. You save a kingdom...and it probably counts as a world(?).

 

[Myndnix]

Ah yes. Saving the world from the rule of Dr. Robotnik, atop his Death Egg.
Good times, guys. Good times.

 

[Zantos]

I saved the world from Gnasty Gnorc as a little purple dragon. Good, good times, still one of my favourite games ever. In fact, I wonder if I still have the disk somewhere...

 

[JochemHippie]

The very first time I saved the world...

I rid Albion of the horrible reign of Jack of Blades.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Wasn't Super Mario Brother just saving Mushroom Kingdom? Well ok thinking way back I guess that would be Red Alert? If I didn't Stanlin, he would of conquer the rest of the world.

 

[Sean Steele]

Convinced the Master to Kill himself and that he was not saving the world by spreading a super-mutant genocide.
