First Game You Ever Completed...

[zip accident]

I don't know whether this counts, Ranarama on the ST. I never got it to an actual finish, because there was no savegame, and when you completed the eight levels, it started them again in a different colour scheme, but with the same layouts and I'm pretty sure the same level of difficulty. It used to take me about two hours to get to the repeat first level, and there were one or two days where I played all day on the one game.

Otherwise, Carrier Command or Dungeon Master, I don't remember which, but Ranarama was bundled with the machine so was definitely first.

I haven't completed many games, but I did finish Mercenary by Novagen on the C64. Man, I must have spent numerous hours flying amongst those vectors.

Saboteur in the Speccy.

It was shit.

Hello everyone.
This brings back some memories!
First game I completed?
The first really difficult game I remmber completing was Knight Lore, I still remember putting the last item in the cauldron on day 39!
I'm sure I finished a lot more before then though (Adventure, Haunted house, Ant attack, Boulder dash)

The first really difficult game I remmber completing was Knight Lore

"The potion casts
Its magic strong
All evil must beware
*dum dum dum dum*
*dum dum dum dum*
Proceed to Miremare!"

Or so I seem to remember - and I needed a POKE for finshing it...

Another with Atic Atac on the speccy

Haven't tried it on an emulator but do have fond memories of the Game

First one I remember is star wars arcade sit down cab - the volume was turned way up on it and the whole thing literally vibrated with the exploding death star sound - glorious !

Sword and The Rose on the ST

Penetrator by Melbourne House .... it had some excellent fireworks at the end if I remember correctly

My library at that time would have been Horace, Hobbit, Flight Simulator but Penetrator was the game with the end sequence

[TodaysForgotten]

Mario on Nintendo.

[Alarm]

Probably Adventure on the VCS too. The first computer game I ever completed (well, completed in the sense that I exited the maze) was 3D Monster Maze on the ZX81. First arcade game? Hmm, tough one. Perhaps Nemesis.

Can't remember exactly but it was one out of Penetrator, Cookie, or Manic Miner on the Speccy.

I think it was Manic Miner.

Yeah, Penetrator was the first game I got and the first I finished as well. Pretty ahead of its time as it had a level editor built in.

Maziacs on the ZX Spectrum.

Mine was Maziacs on the C64. I never did make it to the end of Penetrator (with or without cheating).

The most memorable was Wizball (C64). I remember playing it all bloody day and finally finishing it. Plus the music was awesome.

Head over Heels. After that I spent the summer drawing new rooms for it.
