They were great consoles at the time - I remember getting one of the early grey imports. Had all kinds of problems getting it to work at first until it transpired that the polarity on the transformer was wrong - so soon sorted that out.

Raid over Moscow on C64.

Quite easy was that, as soon as you worked out leaving the space hanger...

Lords of Midnight, I reckon. Which will come as no surprise to regular viewers of this subforum

Silkworm. No I wasn't cheating

Ghost Hunters (codemasters gimmicky platform game).

Games I never managed to complete were: Death Stalker, Strangeloop, Ninja Massacre. And a ruck of others.

With all the crowns?

Or just back to 'Freedom'? (I did)

I remember finishing Atic Atac on the Specturm - but only about 10 years later.

One of my biggest kicks was learning how to complete Dragons Lair (the arcade original) and then just posing in the arcade for 30 minutes with an audience watching

I'd like to say gauntlet on the speccy, but after a few levels it started skipping level numbers, then skipping back until finally my mate and I gave up.. or the speccy over-heated, can't remember which.

First game I actually finished was Turrican II on the ST. Great game (one which IIRC, is being re-written for the STE

)

Most likely it was "Adventure" on the VCS.

I still remember the thrill when I figured out the "Warren Robinett" easter egg all by myself - by putting together certain odd behaviours of the game.

Probably Adventure on the VCS for me, too. It might possibly have been some other Atari game, but that's the first one I can think of.

Zelda, Link To The Past on the SNES IIRC, or it might have been Secret Of Mana.

The earliest one I can recollect is Space Harrier - Arcade Version.

There might be others from the VCS2600 but my brain is b0rken.

The first game I completed was probably Bruce Lee on the C64, and I've completed it many times since then. A great game.

(I completed Advanced Dungeons and Dragons on the Intellivision long before that, but it was so easy on the lower difficulty levels so I guess that doesn't count.)

korruptor and biggestjim:
I came a long way in Head over Heels and suddenly entered a room where Head and Heels somehow froze on some sort of pedestal and couldn't move, so I was stuck. Had I perhaps reached Freedom here (without having collected all the crowns)? Or did I just have a dodgy crack of the game...?

double dragen (c64), it was crap, but we had cooperative fun!
