Games You've Beaten on the VERY FIRST Try

[Ascending Wordsmith]

Have you ever put a game you've never played into your console, picked up the controller, then went through the game without losing a single life?

As far as I can remember, I've never done that before. Two lives yes, but never on the first.

Has anybody ever done that before?

[maxlords]

I know I've done it before at least once....but for the life of me I can't remember WHAT game it was..

[portnoyd]

Felix the Cat for the NES. It's... too... easy.

And, uhm, at the rate I'm going, Wind Waker. Yikes!

[AB Positive]

Wild Arms for the PSX. I just picked up the controller and played through. I saved a few times of course but I never died throughout the entire game. I've at least died playing pokemon blue a couple times...

but still, I love Wild Arms for the plot.

[Raccoon Lad]

Well, I died a few times, but I beat Dynamite Dux on the Master System in about 15 minutes the first time I played it.

[ArnoldRimmer83]

Ghosts and Goblins














just kidding.

[Sylentwulf]

Wind waker for sure, no question.
Final Fantasy X - don't recall dying on this one.
Actually, Final Fantasy 8-10 I really don't remember ever dying, thought they were all pathetically easy, althought I think I DID die once in FF8, don't remember.

I'm sure there are 5-10 more RPG's that I never died in, just don't remember. As far as NON-rpg games go, I doubt I've finished any in the first life. If there was a chance of that, the game was probably so boring I shut it off.

[Raedon]

Ghosts and Goblins














just kidding.

:-D

[Raedon]

Yoshi's Story N64

[Ruudos]

None I think. I died a few times in Felix the Cat for instance, but when I finished it I still had 23 lifes left.

[digitalpress]

Two games that I can be called the MASTA on, first time I picked them up.

ColecoVision Dr. Seuss' Fix-up the Mix-up Puzzler. Ha! I am far superior in the brain than this game ever expects! I breezed through the 16-piece puzzle in less than four hours.

Atari 2600 Strawberry Shortcake. Ha! They thought making the clothing different colors would baffle a super-human mind such as the one which I have?! Fools! I defeated this in a mere ten hours.

[Mr-E_MaN]

I don't think I've beaten a game on the first try, but I come close. Zelda WW for the cube I died once. And the stupid part was I died from a pig because I wanted to see if I could kill it... but it killed me. Didn't even give me a chance to get away too. It just killed me in one shot.

[ManekiNeko]

Y'know, Strawberry Shortcake is into jeans now. And threatening comic writers with lawsuits.

JR

[bargora]

...and after Ghosts 'n' Goblins, I moved right on to R-Type.

JR
Funny, I thought she was into whips and leather 'n' stuff.

[ManekiNeko]

The new Bandai dolls have jeans on... I guess they wanted to contemporize the character or something. Not that I'm a Strawberry Shortcake fan or anything... I just watch a lot of Cartoon Network and Nick and they show the ads constantly.

[Daniel Thomas]

STUN Runner on the Lynx. An amazing copy of the landmark arcade game, and almost insultingly easy. It was a trade-off, I suspect, for playing on such a small screen.

[carnage6]

Robocop for Color Computer 3.

PG

[Masco73]

Clayfighter 33 1/3 n64. Me and a friend played through all the guys in around 30 minutes. It was a disapointment to say the least.

[zektor]

Road Avenger for the Sega CD. I don't know what it is, but I played through the game entirely the very first time I played it, without losing one life. Maybe years of Dragons Lair type games has to do with it :) I then used to pop it in and win it this way at least once a week...sort of a relaxation ritual. I remember friends always coming by to watch me play through it...sort of like watching a cartoon!

[bizounce]

Monster Party - NES

[Videogamerdaryll]

Adventure..Atari 2600...........................(a long time ago)

[Starcade]

Well, lets put it like this, it wasmy second try, but, in FF9, I got the excalibur 2.

[Wily]

I have beaten Mega Man 2 for the NES without losing a life at the first time... AFAIR it was the only game I made that...

Wily

[Six Switch]

Wind Waker and Yoshi's Story,and I think I only lost one life in Fighting Force or something like that.

[RetroYoungen]

Incredible Crisis. Took me probably an hour.

[TheRedEye]

Earthworm Jim 2, believe it or not. I'm not sure I could do that NOW.

[Gamereviewgod]

I breezed through Bonks Adventure on the NES when I rented it way back then....Never died. I could probably do that again since it is ridiculously easy..

[nesman85]

ka-ge-ki for genesis.

[Saturn Sensei]

Two actually:

Soul Calibur 2(arcade) - Although I had played Soul Calibur on the DC to death, but I only lost like two rounds going through the whole of SC2. too easy.

Kabuki Warriors(Xbox) - paid $8.00 for a used copy, knowing that it would be a travesty. Beat it first time though, and only lost a couple of rounds.
Oh what a game. Who thought: Let's make a fighting game with one move button, and essentially one stage.

[ozyr]

Space Invaders for the Playstation - most difficult level. Played all the way to the end first time! I was suprised as hell, but will stil love the game.

ALso, Bust-a-move 2 and 4 - got through these games the first time also. I'm just kick-ass at these bubble pop type games.

[Dayewalker]

I only died once playing Wind Waker. I think that's about the closest I've come to beating a game without dying.

[hezeuschrist]

Never died in wind waker... never even used a faerie. Whee, Ganon got me down a whopping 7 hearts. Ugh.

I'm sure there's a whole load of RPG's I've gone through without dying once in, but I just can't remember.

[The Captain]

I can't remember if I lost a life or not, but I know I beat Duck Tales (NES) the first time I played it.

[rcs7127]

Soul Calibur DC- first time, first time using the dreamcast. this made me really question what was the point of button mashing fight games.

[digdug]

I didn't beat the whole game on 1 life, but I just beat Return to Castle Wolfenstein on X-Box end boss on the very first try. He was a joke, only hit me 2 times. Great game otherwise.





Dig Dug

[autobotracing]

I beat the following games on the first try



giga wing
giga wing 2
metal slug X

doa 2
doa 3
yoshi's story
soul calibur
mk 1
mk II
MK 4
street fighter II ce


im sure there are alot more I just remember them all

[Zaxxon]

I almost got to the end of Space Channel 5 first time I put it in. I tried to make my game end because I didn't want to play it, I just put it in to see what it looked like. I had no idea what I was doing. I never looked at the manual.

[AB Positive]

Having never played it before, I just beat Bonk's Adventure for the first time, on the first try. A bit simple but very very fun. Now I want to play the rest of the series. Damn eBay prices...

[NE146]

NES Battletoads.. on one life. What a ripoff! >:(

[jose.yoshitake]

I have beaten Mega Man 2 for the NES without losing a life at the first time... AFAIR it was the only game I made that...

Wily

I can not believe that!!!!

You cheater!!!! :P

Emulation does not count!!!! :-D

[jose.yoshitake]

Come on guy, bring your disdain over me.... :(

The only one that I can remember is The Little Mermaid for the NES!!![/b]

[nesman85]

NES Battletoads.. on one life. What a ripoff! >:(
you seriously beat battletoads on one life? that's crazy.

[Ed Oscuro]

NES Battletoads.. on one life. What a ripoff! >:(
you seriously beat battletoads on one life? that's crazy.

Lol!

[Daltone]

Tekken 3 defintely. Ummm....bah, there's probably some more that I don't remember. I don't think I ever lost an ISS game to the computer on the N64.


Road Avenger for the Sega CD. I don't know what it is, but I played through the game entirely the very first time I played it, without losing one life.

I still can't do that :embarrassed:

[nesman85]

NES Battletoads.. on one life. What a ripoff! >:(
you seriously beat battletoads on one life? that's crazy.

Lol!
is beating it on one life actually not that hard, and i just completely suck at the game or something?

[NE146]

Beating Battletoads on one life your first time through is sort of like beating NES Ghosts and Goblins on one life your first time through.. which is... I don't think so.

i.e. It was a joke ;)

[Dan Iacovelli]

well, I haven't beaten the game but with out looking at instructions
I have beaten the other player on Flag capture.

i thought it might be a joke, but wasn't sure. i still haven't beaten battletoads for nes :/ .

[dave2236]

Dreamcast 18 Wheeler

[devilman]

I beat the following games on the first try



giga wing
giga wing 2


Don't these two have infinite credits? I remember them both being stupidly hard.

[devilman]

Oh.. waltzed through Parrapa the Rapper 2 first go. Um Jammer Lammy is much harder.

[ECWSandmanECW]

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Genesis)
WWF Wrestlemania 2000 (Game Boy Color)

[adaml]

The NES version of Shinobi by Tengen. This game is pretty basic.

[atomicthumbs]

Contra - Shattered Soldier (PS2)
and
Shinobi (PS2)












just kidding

[Neonsolid]

Gone.

[Berserker]

Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers.

I was about 8 or 9... and I think that was what ended up nullifying the whole "I'll buy you a new game when you beat one" deal my dad had in place at the time. LOL

[bargora]

Actually, I beat the Playstation "Space Invaders" on my first time through. Don't remember if I lost a life, though. Probably

[PhoeniX]

Breakthru for the NES, I had never played it when my roomate brought it over, I picked up the controller and beat the game in 15 minutes without dying. My roomate was kinda pissed as his nostalgic memorys from childhood were completely dashed.

Don't you hate it when you think/remember being the master of a game only to realize when you play it again years later that the game wasn't that hard in the first place?

[izret101]

All the Pokemon games, FFX, Mortal Kombat Special Forces, Mythologies,and Gold, Space Channel 5,Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Mortal Kombat Gold, Worms World Party(52 and 0), Shooting Range, Point Blank, Super Metroid(had help though). The list goes on and on.

[VinnyT]

I remember popping in Double Dragon for Genesis, and basicly breezing thorough it, until I got to that damn bridge.

Damn did that piss me off, I was doing so good, but Abobo just kept kicking my ass. I got so mad I just started pressing random buttons, suddenly.

"what the hell, the game glitched up, and he flew behind me! The hell, he did it again! Wait, it's a back elbow!"

I then kicked his ass and proceded to beat the game in less that 20 minutes, on the first try.

[SMB]

Mario Kart 64 :)

[Emily]

Godzilla the Animated Series-Gameboy Color

I bought the game at the same time as my gameboy color at TRU, and after playing it on the ride home(30 min) I beat it almost as soon as I got home!Pretty lame, it took me almost a year to save up for the gameboy color,and couldnt afford to buy any new games for a while.(I was notorious for buying expensive,shitty games :/ )

Street Fighter 2 Turbo- GBA

I had always thought I sucked at at 2D fighters...ah well

[alexkidd2000]

Sega Ages Outrun for PS2. What a letdown...

[jdc]

Retro system........Streets Of Rage 2 for Genny. I was amazed and satisfied that I actually finished it, since I find that the older games are far more difficult.

Modern system......Need For Speed Underground for PS2. I finished it in one sitting.

[XxMe2NiKxX]

Streets of Rage 2 for Gamegear, and Sonic 2 for Gamegear if you don't count the numerous deaths on that vile first boss.

[retroman]

i would have to say PitFighter for the Gen. and DjBoy for the Gen.

[Bluteg]

Let's see... I know its mostly fighters.


Street Fighter 2 (SNES)
Street Fighter 2 Turbo (SNES)
Tekken 3 (PS)
Xenogears (PS) (Not counting battles you could not win)
Gauntlet Legends (N64)
Dead or Alive 3 (Xbox)
Soul Calibur 2 (Game Cube)

I am almost sure of Garfield (Genesis) but it's been a while though.

[Sibs]

The only one I can remember right now is Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers for the SNES. Got it Christmas Eve, beat it Christmas morning.

[briguy578]

Who can guess what game I beat the first time through?

Any guesses? Anyone?

Well, it may shock you to know that the game I beat on my first try was none other then....

Walll Street kid.

shocking.

[briguy578]

sorry to +1, but I just realized. much to my consernation, that I misspelt "Wall Street Kid" in a forum where you can't edit posts

:( :( :oops: :grrr:

[Overbite]

the arcade game Leprechaun. I beat that game 3 times over before i killed myself on purpose just to stop playing 8-)

[Ninja Blacksox]

"Space Channel 5"

I think I beat both "Tekken 2" and "Tekken 3" on my first try, as well.

I'm positive of "Space Channel 5," though.

-A Boy

[max 330 mega]

i would have to say PitFighter for the Gen. and DjBoy for the Gen.
holy hell, i cant even get to the second level boss in DJ Boy, much less beat the damn game. @_@

[Lord Contaminous]

Almost EVERY Capcom game on NES and SNES that bears the Disney license. However, I remember on my first stint at Darkwing Duck (NES) and Aladdin, Goof Troop & Bonkers (SNES) I died alot on some parts so those 2 games sorta took awhile. Most of these Disney Capcom games had some pretty unique boss patterns but they were so easy to catch on to.

[charitycasegreg]

All I can think of is TMNT4 for snes, final fight 3 for snes, and monopoly for nes.
