What was the first video game you played and completed?

[prplchknz]

I'm curious, and does it have a special place in your heart? Mine was Metroid II on the original game boy

 

[kyuuei]

Hah! Tomb Raider.

 

[billygoat]

I'll start by saying, technically, it's Super Mario Bros. but that really, really doesn't count, okay? It just doesn't. So there.

Therefore:

Mega Man 3.

Still my favourite game from one of my favourite (now sadly, all but dead) video game series'. I know it like the back of my hand and it can still hand me my arse even to this day. Just sublime.

Hmm... I'm not sure exactly but I think it was The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It took months and months and months to finish.

It does hold a special place in my heart. I'm not sure how to describe it at the moment, I might elaborate later.


EDIT: I also want to add that I have never finished a Super Mario Bros. game.

Are the items in the title separate? Because the first game I played was Super Mario Bros 3, and I was three years old and had a very difficult time with simple tasks.

The first game I beat I think was Donky Kong Country.

DKC is okay, and SMB 3 is still possibly the greatest platformer of all time, and yet I can't say either one has a special place in m heart, per se.

 

[Falcarius]

Either 'Alex Kidd in Miracle World' or 'Paperboy'.

 

[Amargith]

 

[MetalMoon]

Pokemon Leaf Green. Aye, I fondly remember the days of Pokemon. I miss that game. What a blast.

Maybe I'm weird, but I normally don't complete video games. I get to a point where it's too difficult to go further, and I'm satisfied simply replaying it. Other games can't even be completed. Take The Sims for example.

Dunno if it counts as a video game, but when I was little I was really into these point-and-click series of games by Humongous Entertainment.

Pokemon yellow on my gameboy color. My friend sent me his Dragonair to help me beat the elite four.

together, the first game i actually recall playing was the game with the bricks that you smash with a ball

 

[Totenkindly]

Asteroid, Breakout, or Pitfall.

Don't ask me, that was so long ago in the scale of human evolution that it's part of my reptilian brain.

Hah! Tomb Raider.

N00b.

 

[Evo]

Kirby

N00b.

Quite true. But it was my brother who always got the gaming systems--my sisters and I had to either watch him play, or sneak in play time when he wasn't around. I never actually completed a game from start to finish until Tomb Raider.

 

[Nicodemus]

Probably. It's very easy.

 

[Siúil a Rúin]

I've never completed a video game, except as a secondary observer contributing to "Siberia" years ago with Martoon.
