Sonic the Hedgehog on my Master System, aged 6.

A few weeks later, I managed to finish it with all of the emeralds, too.

Shadow of the Beast II on the Amiga (with the 'ten pints' cheat, of course)

EDIT: Actually, no, thats bollocks. Creatures on the C64.

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

The music drew me back to the game constantly, so I just played and played

Adventure (Atari 2600)

First game I owned in the 1980's that had a proper ending to it.
Haunted House did too, but I didn't bother playing through it until a few years later.

Sorcery on Amstrad.
At which point the cassette tape holding the game split in two and I never played it again.

I don't think I ever got passed the 2nd or 3rd screen.

Couldn't work out how to use the lifty thing and was just stuck in the corner of the room until I ran out of energy.

I think I hit the 2am "Backup Lag" window.

You know, I've been thinking...the first game I ever finished would have been Sears Pong (rebranded Pong). When I whipped my brother at it in the mid-1970s somewhere.

Well, IIRC you have to travel to the right at the start of a game and collect the lift powerup (obviously

)

Powerups? I didn't even know there were powerups in the game. In fact, I've didn't even know you could pick stuff up?!?!

The attached screenshot show's as far as I've ever been in the game. ie. room 2.

Hints please!
