First Game You Ever Completed...

Hello everyone, I'm new to YakYak but I've been a big fan of Jeff's work since the VIC20 I had, practically my whole life ago. I though I'd introduce myself with a new topic. If it's been posted before, many apologies.

What the the first game you ever completed OR What was the first game you ever completed and felt really proud of?

Mine was Bionic Commando on the NES when I was about 8 or 9. I remember it being so frustratingly difficult that my controller ended up with teeth marks in the corner. When I finnished it, it felt like I'd achieved rudimentary transcendance!

I could never explain to my parents why it cost Â£20 for the Nintendo and Â£3 for the C64..

Welcome to the Furoms, Xwards. Fluff on

I can't remember the first game I completed, but the first game I completed and was proud of was Citadel, on the C64. Llovely game, that

Penetrator, I can still remember the fireworks at the end.

Actually I don't think I've bothered to complete any games since then...

It was either Impossible Mission or Wizball on the c64 I think.

Baaa ..

Hello Xwards

.

It would have to be Blagger on the 64. Lovely platform action there.

So, another Llamasoftie from up here then! Cool

. Where abouts you from then? Time spent between Crosby and Bromborough here.

Damned if I can remember TBH. I can remember being really chuffed at winning my first game of Civilization II by total military domination, 1 year before my spaceship was due to arrive.

I'm not that good at most games so you'd think I'd remember my first one

Getting old me thinks.

Some golden oldies and shiny memories coming out here! Wizball, I wish I'd completed that. And Blagger!

Hey Punkrules...Yep I'm what we lovingly call a 'Wirralonian' currently at digs in Hoylake where the awesome sunsets and sixties-esque seaside resort nature of the place was charming for about two weeks...

I remember completing Fastfood Dizzy was some acheivement - until I found that you had to play the game again but with inverted controls! That wrecked my little mind I can tell you...

The first really memorable victory was completing Double Dragon with my brother in the local arcade.

I think that might have been mine, though come to think of it I probably cheated by using the level editor to make the game a complete cakewalk.

I definitely remember completing Feud on the Speccy. That game was the best Â£1.99 I ever spent, I think.

Adventure on the VCS. Played the flash version a couple of weeks ago and despite not having played it for nearly a quarter of century managed to remember the maze straight away

Shamus on the 8Bit Atari IIRC, though it may well have been Shamus II.

Roland's Rat Race - I had to use a cheat (entered through the high score table) to complete it. Still took ages as you had to remember where the different pieces were situated.

Cripes, this is a tricky one, simply because I'm not sure.

The earliest one I *remember* completing was R-Type on the PC Engine (it split across two game carts as they couldn't squeeze it onto one). I'm sure though that I must have completed some before that seeing as I my first micro was the ZX81 (back in 1981).

The one after that which springs to mind is The Secret of Monkey Island on the PC in the early 90's.

Methinks 'old' age is addling the old memory.

I wanted a PC Engine soooo much. We couldn't afford a TV with a scart plug though, so you can imagine how much the mythical 'Duo' was out of the question
