Trying to play Wolfenstein 3D, but chickening out (then again, I was 4 years old). Solution? Letting my older sister play instead and just 'guiding' her around.

Probably Escape from Monkey Island (the 1st one).
Some of the puzzles in that went completely by me (I was only roughly 5/6 at the time), so it ended up being...
-Scan the screen as much as possible.
-If something popped up, try to pick it up.
-If it couldn't be picked up, try using stuff on it.
-Repeat.
Of course there was more of a method to it than this, but some of the puzzles were literaly solved just by using random Item A on random Item B.

Brock. Stupid bastard kept killing my charmander! Let's see you use any of your ground attacks against my pidgey!
I think mine would be playing California dreams on the old NES.
Trying to get through the rollerblading level. I was rather young back then though.

First I can remember was The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past in the Kakariko Well dungeon. I had gotten that far without once learning you could throw bombs. It took me 3 years of random playing every few months until I accidentally learned how to do it.
It wasn't my first but it was the most memorable. It was GTA 3 and it was the telephone mission where you had to race for the Diablos. I was horrible at driving so instead of doing it the way I was supposed to I made a wall of tanks my useing the tank cheat about ten times and placing them across the street. It worked and I made it to the finish line.
My first gaming challenge was figuring out how much lead to use to shoot that last [censored] Space Invader... solved it through brute-force experimentation and good chunk of a week's allowance in quarters.
