What was the first game you ever beat?

[vaticanvice]

Spyro the Dragon. When I was in third grade, I asked for a Playstation for Christmas just so I could get that game.

Shortly after that, I beat Pokemon Red. I still have that cartridge, untouched since my childhood. I have two whole boxes filled with Rattatas named Mew, Muu, Muw, Mu, Mue, Myu, Myoo--any spelling I could think of--because of a stupid rumor at my school that if you named a Rattata Mew and traded it to someone, it would indeed magically transform into that most envied of Mons. I just didn't give up. I was a stupid kid.

Mmm, let's see...

First RTS: Age of Mythology
First FPS with cheats: Halo
First FPS without cheats: Call of Duty 2
First Puzzle/Adventure game: Grim Fandango
First TPS with cheats: Max Payne
First TPS without cheats: Freedom Fighters.
First horror game: Wait a sec... Nah I've got nothing. I've still got to finish Penumbra, System Shock 2, Silent Hill 2-4, DOOM 3, Undying, etc. I like horror games but I can't stand playing them for too long for some reason...

Pokemon Blue. If you count beating the Elite Four and capturing Mewtwo, as "beating the game".

I have to ask, which starter did you pick?

Pokemon Blue here as well, I went with Squirtle. I still remember how it went down - I had a Haunter use Selfdestruct on the Rival's first Pokemon, and it didn't even knock it out. My high-level Gyarados then knocked out everything on the rival's team.

Sadly, I don't remember what the Rival's name was. I do recall my team - I had Blastoise, Pidgeot, Gyarados, Zapdos (master ball!), Clefable, and Haunter. This would have been when I was 7 years old, so apparently it really stuck with me. I played Crystal Quest before I got a Gameboy, so I wasn't used to thinking of video games as something that can be won by anybody.

One of my cousins knew how exciting it was to win Pokemon Blue, and sent me a postcard after hearing that I'd beaten the Elite Four. A Diglett postcard. #nerdnostalgia

Sonic 2... though it wasn't that big of a deal, I was just really scared of Robotnik's walker's spiky hands. Usually ran out of time because I was too afraid to just go for it. I was great at the game, but not good with handling having no rings. I was also 4.

[Arisato-kun]

I played a lot of games as a kid but the first one I actually beat was Pokemon Yellow.

 

[bulbasaur765]

Kirby's Dream Land. Prior to that I always watched my older brother beat bosses.

 

[Mikeyfell]

Boulder's Gate: Dark Alliance

or it might have been Pokemon Red. that was the first game I ever bought I can't remember if I beat it before Dark Alliance or not

 

[omegawyrm]

Either Link to the Past or Super Mario RPG, not entirely sure.

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

Mine was Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Looking back, its actually still one of my favourite games.

Mine, too!

 

[Deathlord665]

some tonka game which had a toolthing when i was like 4-5, if no that then probly ratchet and clank

 

[Royta]

Not really sure. It's a toss up between Donkey Kong Country 1, Super Mario World or Lucky Luke on the Gameboy.

I really can't remember ;(

 

[Solo-Wing]

Megaman X

I was 4

I was god.

Trying to do it again. I am on the verge of tears. How did I fucking do this when I was 4!??!!?

 

[VincentX3]

Pokemon Blue, DOOM was the first game I ever played but it was way too scary to finish (I was like 7-8)...

Pokemon Blue. If you count beating the Elite Four and capturing Mewtwo, as "beating the game". If not then, Goldeneye maybe, or Star Wars Podracer for the N64.

Pokemon Blue here as well

FFFFUUUUUUUUU-
Pokemon Red here guys

Since Red is so much more awesome ¬¬

I bet it was those Monkeys that scared you away from System Shock 2!

My first game beat? Oh man, that happened like, I dunno, the Spiderman game for the SNES, FFVI maybe, or SMW. Really, I'm having to remember back almost 20 years to try and remember the first game I beat. Could've been Super Metroid but I doubt it.

 

[Kegsen]

Jetpac on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 16 K.
Although, to say "beat" might be kind hard since it really doesn`t have an ending. I met the first wave of enemies again, and kept on playing.
After that, a whole row of C64 games before the challenge the NES-games was presented.

 

[BanthaFodder]

Pokemon Silver probably...

 

[Gentleman_Reptile]

Goldeneye on the 64. Man did that feel good.

 

[Count Igor]

Hmm...
I think AOE's and Age of Mythology. I'm damn good at RTS's.
Then it was Deus Ex.

But that was a while ago, so it's a bit hazy.
