That reminds me, does anyone remember some sort of "game" where you had a plastic ship and a pilot who would be ejected if you got killed? I recall commercials for it. Fuck yeah! Captain Power. Man I wanted it so bad. Never even played it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Morbis | 2,088 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Probably SMB on the NES, but I don't really know for sure since I was so young. I do know this for certain though: the first game I ever recorded the completion date for was SMB 3; I was so damn proud of myself after playing it non-stop for months (I didn't know about the warp whistles) that I wrote right on the cover of the manual that I still have to this day: "Finished May 8th, 1990."

GPX | 1,369 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Would have to be some game on the C64. The problem is, my memory cells can’t recall which titles! If it’s the first console game, then it’s definitely Alex Kidd in Miracle World, with the Master System being my first console entry and Alex Kidd was a built-in game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremiahJT | 75 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 6 hours ago, JeremiahJT said: Sonic Fury on Action Max? Maybe The Rescue of Pops Ghostly or .38 Ambush Alley. If you mean something that took more than making it to the end of a VHS tape, then probably Super Mario Bros. I did have the 7800 before the NES, and one could consider finishing a race on Pole Position II finishing it. I do not recall if I ever finished Suzuka (I am 90% sure I did), but I finished Test, Fuji, and Seaside lots of times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radagast | 21 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I'm not sure if it was Adventure on Atari or Sonic the Hedgehog on Genesis but it was definitely one of the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodysGameRoom | 2,008 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Off topic my my second game was Mickey Mousecapade. Well, actually it was probably Sesame Street 123. But idk if that counts. But those were the first two games we had, my nostalgia for both of them is huge of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you think? Well I didn't even get started in gaming at all until I got my first NES for my tenth birthday in 1990. I sure did get my money's worth on that Zelda 1 game though as well as Metroid...remember back then if you didn't have the POWER, Nintendo Power you had no other option but to make your own maps as you went along...and I did in fact make some nice ones for the Zelda dungeons if I do say so myself...I wish I still had them...
