Probably either Adventure on the VCS or 3D Monster Maze on the ZX81 (ie reaching the exit).

F-Zero on the SNES stands out for me.

I'll answer this question if and when I complete a game. Even my dad finished Sorcery and Sorcery+ on the Amstrad. *sob*

First one was probably Atic Atac on the Spec. I think I may have done the level-editor cheat on Penetrator too :)

I know I completed Bruce Lee on Spectrum but it was a gazillion times easier
than the C64 so I don't think it counts.

The first thing I remember finishing that really mattered was Turrican 2 on
Amiga. It was all about finding hordes of hidden extra lives.

Finishing Bruce Lee on the Atari 8bit is memorable for me.
Also Ultima 3...Rainbow Walker...The Eidolon...Boulder Dash....

ahhhhh, I'll have lots to remember when I'm on my death bed. :lol:

The Sentinel... using the 'cheat' is the eariest I remember.

Most satisfying/memorable was Cannon Fodder :)

Obviously not as memorable for me as some people, but it was possibly Thing on a Spring back in about 85.
Is this going to take long, only my foot's gone to sleep and I'd like to catch it up.

Superman on the Atari VCS2600 :), but then I must have hit a dry spell, because the next one that comes to mind is Pyjamarama on the Speccy 8O

I'm sure there must have been others in between though....no, really...

Jesus. Some of those latter levels were hard as nails, even with a cheat mode 8O

It was probably Adventure on the Atari VCS, followed later by Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Pitfall II, all on the same machine.

Then most likely it was Pirate Adventure on the C16, and Impossible Mission on the C64.

It was either Revenge of the Mutant Camels or Manic Miner, both technically unfinishable but you know what I mean.

I think it was Police Quest, I remember sitting in front of the computer at the age of 7 typing in words of a language I didn't even speak. :)

I got some help from my bigger sister, and soon I knew all of the tricks, from how to get towels to racing on the highway. :)
