Anyone here ever the first to do something in a game?

[GaijinPunch]

I seem to recall someone in Asia (HK if I remember) claiming they beat Shenmue first... or were at least the first to voice it on the internet. Needless to say, it was only some 20-30 hours after the game was released.

So, can anyone say that they were the first to beat xxx game, find xxx in a game before anyone else in the world?

I know it's a bit hard to guage, but I guess is possible.

[EndlessChris]

I think I was the first person to throw and break a dreamcast in blind rage after the 20th failure on a Zone of The Enders 2 mission.

Good thing it was a spare.

[rolenta]

I was the first person to have a letter printed in a videogame magazine (2nd issue of the original Electronic Games) 8-)

[NE146]

For all I knew, (although I'm sure it's not true) I was the first to find the 255+ shots for an extra life in Space Invaders Part 2.

All I know is I figured it out myself when I was a kid. I did it first by shooting shot after shot after shot on level 1.. while leaving the invaders to get to the lowest level.. then finding out I had an extra man when the stage ended! I used this apparently random technique for a long time, and it was only when I got a little older and wiser did I figure it was probably a rollover trick and the machine would award you an extra life if you killed the invaders in 55 shots or less (since there were 55 invaders). It only made sense. I confirmed this in Mame by setting the shot count to exactly 55 via the cheat menu and voila.. it awarded an extra man. At 56, there was no extra man awarded.

So up to that point I never heard anyone talk about it. I didn't see it on any Space Invader fan sites. I didn't see it in any Space Invader strategy guides ( on the net or in classic books or mags). So it seemed like I was the only one who knew!

Then I submitted it to Rogers Classic Arcade Tips and Tricks (is that page even still around?). Now it's everywhere. And the thing is they all use the same verbage from my original writeup :P

So I'm sure I wasn't the only person out there who knew this.. but up to this point I haven't heard from anyone else in the classic gaming community who had done it. :?

[CRaCKeRJaCK1980]

I am probably the first, well and probably the only one to ever pee there pants while playing kung fu for the NES. I had to go so bad, but was playing so good that I didnt want to screw up, so I pee'd my pants and finished the level. LOL I feel like a unit know.

[link1110]

First to beat Space Quest 4 in 28 minutes.

[rbudrick]

I think I was the first to find the infinite lives glitch in Coleco tabletop DOnkey Kong.

Also, the first thing I ever did when I got Life Force (and before it was printed in any magazines), I did the 30 lives trick and it worked. My family and I were pretty amazed.

I think I was the first to figure out how to jump in Bionic Commando, but I dunno.

Hmmm, the very first day that Super Mario World (and the SNES) were out in America, I found the secret star levels, beat them all and beat the game. I HAD to have been one of the first in the country other than game reviewers to do that.

-Rob

[Sph1nx]

You can jump in Bionic Command?!?!?!?!? :eek 2:

[hydr0x]

well, i'm pretty sure i've been the first european/german to finish/play some games (ok, reviewers don't count) but of course i do have no proof ;)

i submitted a few new things to faq's of old games that were in NO faq for this game so i could be the first to do these things...

[MarioAllStar2600]

I was teh first person to own a PS2, out of my friends. Slightly on topic. :P

[Sniderman]

I am the first and (thus far) ONLY person in the world to break the 1 million point mark in Atari 2600 Halloween (http://www.twingalaxies.com/cgi-perl/search_scores_game.pl?&orig=game&game_id=2502&track_id=3780&Platform=Atari%202600&game_title=Halloween&track_name=default%20settings&game_titleField=halloween&track_nameField=&platformSelect=) as recognized by the Twin Galaxies Intergalactic Scoreboard. So there. :D

[Rolland]

A friend of mine does a Mario Kart 64 glitch that still hasn't been discovered by any one else. That is no easy thing since David Won has practically a monopoly on Kart 64 glitches. It's on a video tape he's sent me. Speaking of which we've been talking of posting the vid pretty soon. 8-)

[downfall]

I was the first person to break 11,000 points on all the Beginner levels in Super Monkey Ball.. waaaayy back when that competition first started. Very tough to do at the time, and it took people a while to catch up. I'm awful compared to the guys that have taken over the leader boards there now, but I at least feel like I had some kind of an impact as far as helping to raise the bar a bit for that game.

I was also one of a few people from over at the gamefaqs boards who ended up having a level of their own design put into Super Monkey Ball 2. We had a "what level would you put in SMB2" topic going, and about 4 or 5 of the levels ended up in the game, in the exact places we placed them in our lists. I do believe someone e-mailed them and confirmed that they did get the ideas from the board as well. Kinda neat anyway.

[digitalpress]

It is not documented as such, but my friend Kevin and I were the first ones to find the dot and the programmer's name in the Atari 2600 game Adventure.

Actually, I discovered the dot while exploring every little nook and cranny of the game. I wasn't looking for anything special (at the time, there was no such thing as an Easter Egg), I was just trying to see where the edges would lead me. After hours and hours and hours with the game, including taking tours with the bat while in the belly of a dragon and/or using the bridge to get behind the castle, etc, I was just curious to see what would happen if you tried to "escape" from the black castle maze. And there was that dot.

I couldn't figure out what to do with it, but I showed the thing to Kevin when we got together that weekend. Later that night, he called me up and walked me through the rest of the steps to get to Warren Robinett's name on that hidden screen.

We just figured EVERYONE knew about this, but it was months later when we read about it, in Atari Age Magazine, I think.

First or not, WE discovered it too!

[Gabriel]

I never see anyone mention the way to get Economizers for your entire party in the U.S. cartridge version of Final Fantasy III (6). It's odd, because it's really easy too. You just find the Brachiasaur and either have someone use the Esper which turns monsters into items or have Locke steal from it. It's random when it works, so you have to have patience, but it does work.

And Kefka is a total pussy when everyone in your party can cast Ultima for 1 MP.

I was also probably the first to discover that if you pressed a direction on controller 2 during the opening movie to Shining Force CD that it would play the opening dialogue in Japanese. It took over a year before gaming magazines started listing the trick I discovered on the release date of the game.

[Ed Oscuro]

I was the first person to have a letter printed in a videogame magazine (2nd issue of the original Electronic Games) 8-)

Now that's a one-of-a-kind for sure! :D

My "first" would be "First guy to figure out how to get outside where you're supposed to be in a certain cave in Zelda Wind Waker." Doesn't sound like much, but part the Zelda series is supposed to be really good at keeping the player from eploiting glitches, heh.

[Richter]

I was teh first person to own a PS2, out of my friends. Slightly on topic. :PI was the first person in my high school to own a NGPC, after winter break 5 more of them popped up o.o

[Queen Of The Felines]

I was the first person to write a FAQ on Gamefaqs for E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Riddle of the Sphinx.

Yeah, I rule.

Kristine

[Ed Oscuro]

Oh! That reminds me, I wrote the first "review" (though it sucked; I've got to update it) for the unreleased arcade game "Asylum." Suppose that counts for something, no?

[LazingBlazers]

I was the first, and to my knowlege, am still the only person that knows how to get a bat to fight the Chintai at the end of Mission 2 in NES Double Dragon.

[Cmosfm]

Though probably not, I remember figuring out how to steal from the shop in Legend Of Zelda: Link Awakening for Game Boy. I seen it in Gamepro months later, too bad I never wrote them about it. :(

I think I was the first to find the infinite lives glitch in Coleco tabletop DOnkey Kong.

Ooh, what is this glitch? :-P

[rbudrick]

To jump in Bionic commando, it is best to have a trubo controller. It's been years, but I remember holding the A and B turbo buttons in a certain way so that when you grabbed something and quickly let go, it would give the appearance that you hopped, since it happens so fast. Kinda useful in some parts.

I think you hold UP and turn it on..the score is all screwed up though. It may be UP and JUMP.

Also, I believe I am the first person to ever make a map of Solstice...other than that crappy asccii text one out there. Contrary to popular belief it doesn't overlap at all (ala Metroid II and the last palace in Zelda II...bad cartographers, bad!!). I will one day post it on my website (that doesn't exist yet), but if anyone wants it, it's about a 3MB JPG, I believe.

So how do you get the bat to beat Chin with? And why would you want to when he dies when you go down the ladders? Lol.

[Zubiac666]

I don't really know bout I think I'm the only(and also first) person here in europe who was able to beat the pal version of "Robocop 3"(SNES) without cheating. Who else would play this piece of crap till end?
:D

[DogP]

Hmm... well I haven't really mentioned it to anyone, so I dunno if other people know about it, but in Big Event Golf (arcade), I hit a really crappy shot and landed near a rock, and on the rock was a word, maybe someone's name. I took pics, and I'll probably ask if anyone knows who/what it is, but I'm kinda doubting it since it's an old crappy golf game.

[Ze_ro]

I was the first one to find the glitch in Atari Karts (Jaguar) that lets you skip cups. I found it a long time ago when I was screwing around with the game. I'm fairly certain the only place I ever submitted it to was an old Jaguar cheat list maintained by "The Mage". From there, it seems the "cheat" has found it's way to pretty much every game cheat database on the internet.

That's pretty much my only claim to fame when it comes ot video games.

--Zero

[o2william]

As far as I know, I was the first to discover the glitch in NES Ghosts'n Goblins where Arthur runs through walls and "previews" the last levels of the game. At least, I was the first to submit it to |tsr's NES Archive (back when it was still being maintained!).

Here's a site that copied |tsr's cheat list. My original submission is there with my long-dead Zoomnet email address:
http://members.tripod.com/~nesnation/codesb.html

[Nez]

I'd say I was the first person to find the flying car trick in San Francisco Rush(N64)

And one of the first to get all the cheats in Goldeneye (I have a little letter from Nintendo Power about that one)

[Crush Crawfish]

My and my friend were the first to find several linkspark combos in robopon 2. I actually wrote a guide for that game, it's on gamefaqs. We actually found the combo for Boiler, a robopon that the Gamefaq's message boarders have denounced as Gameshark only! I really have to update that guide.

[FABombjoy]

I may have been the first... or at least one of the only people to find the hidden contest in SMS Space Harrier. Too bad all I got was a letter saying something to the effect of "Way to go. Now buy a Genesis."

[vintagegamecrazy]

I can't lay claim to this, but when Mega Man X3 came out and I finished it and let my friend borrow it. he called me one day and said he accidentally discovered the gold armour in it. This was several months before it was in the classified info in Nintendo power.

[DDCecil]

My brother discovered 2 things before we knew about them anywhere else:

Mega Man X - Killing the huge Bat is Armored Armadillo's stage for a 1-Up.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - Using Cure to defeat Dark King in one hit.

I wrote the first FAQs for a few games, mainly where to find all the Fairies on Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius, before the game was able to be played on emulators.

[bangtango]

I wanted to bring this back from the dead, since I was about to post something similar.

I don't know if I was the first to ever uncover this stuff, but here are things I found out on my own without ever reading gaming magazines or the internet. So I am not taking credit for anything, just reporting what I accomplished without help.

With that said, how about expanding this oh-so-slightly to post stuff you found without the help of a "tricks" book, a gaming magazine, web site or friend.


MY HUMBLE LEGACY


-Found the sound test for "Super C" on NES, just by messing around, saw it in EGM or Gamepro about four months later but never thought to submit it when I found it.
-Found the sound test for Ninja Gaiden II on NES the same way. Also read about this one a few months later in an issue of Gamepro. Should have sent it this in, since I think them (or maybe it was EGM) used to give a free game just for reporting something this trivial. :angry:
-A bunch of stupid Super Mario Bros. glitches and secrets, which do not include the minus world.
-I know I wasn't the first person to do this, but I was messing around with names on "The Legend of Zelda" and found the second quest by accident (by using "Zelda") when I hadn't even finished the first quest yet.

[GameSlaveGaz]

-I know I wasn't the first person to do this, but I was messing around with names on "The Legend of Zelda" and found the second quest by accident (by using "Zelda") when I hadn't even finished the first quest yet.

I used to do that all the time because when I was a young, uneducated lass of 8 I thought Link was Zelda, since the title was Legend of Zelda, and therefore always named my files ZELDA because of that. Probably explains why I couldn't beat it back then, because I was only 8 and didn't have the gaming skills I have now and because it was on the second quest. LMAO.

And while we're on the topic of LoZ, when I was playing the game again for the first time in almost 10 years back when I replaced my long-gone NES, I found that in various places when you have the Power Bracelet, you can push rocks (the ones I still think to this day look like turtles) and uncover a stairway that leads to an old man saying "Take Any Road You Want" and three staircases that lead to other hidden stairways under rocks. This made it useful later in the game to get from one side of Hyrule to another. I doubt I'm the first one to have found this, but I found out that it wasn't submitted to www.gamewinners.com and quickly submitted it. It was subsequently posted and is there right now as we speak (under Cheats for Legend of Zelda for the NES). I also knew it before my boyfriend, which is a hard accomplishment because he finds ALL the cheats before me either by luck or researching the 'net. I also posted the somewhat interesting tip that when you have the Clock that freezes enemies (which also makes Link blink different colors) when you pause the screen with the Select button, you can freeze it just at the right time to make Link look blue and white, red and white (like Santa) and black, red and green (like a witch)

My boyfriend was the first person I knew (and the first to tell me) about the Ocarina of Time glitch where if you pull out the left (I think - I don't remember correctly) side of the cart, you can walk right through the Kokiri guy blocking the exit from Kokiri Village and enter Hyrule Field without ANY weapons.

Also I must be the first person to offer a lifetime of BJs just to borrow an Atari 2600 and games for a week. My boyfriend found a 2600 and about 20 games still in their boxes and 2 joysticks (also a catalog and warranty card) in the trash and to this day (it's been about 2 years) he REFUSES to hook it up or let me borrow it or even let me LOOK at it. He says he's "preserving it." I told them they're a dime a dozen and I could replace it in the very unlikely event that it broke. I'd buy my own but I have no room in my room for another console. But yeah, at one point I told him I'd give him oral everyday for the rest of my life if he let me borrow it for just a week. And can you believe he STILL DECLINED?!!!?!!!?!!! In his defense, he didn't believe me about the BJs, but still, how do you pass up that offer?!?! (And no, that offer does NOT stand for anyone on this forum that has a 2600 and is willing to let me borrow it for a week LMAO)

Y'know, I'm realizing now I shouldn't have admitted that. Oh, well, I don't care what people on the internet think of me. If I did, I wouldn't have a myspace LMAO

[atomicthumbs]

Now, I have no way of knowing if I was the FIRST on this one, but here I go anyway.

I got Tomb Raider II the day it came out. On the second day, I managed to trap the farting butler in the meat freezer.

My God. That is an excellent game.

[CYRiX]

I was the first person to use the noob combo in halo 2 lol. Well I dont know for sure but I found it out the second day it came out.

I led the glitching community for Tony Hawk's Underground.

idk if I've really found anything else.

[exit]

I was the first (and only) person to release an FAQ for the NES Ys2 on GameFaqs, but that's not anything important.

On something more interesting, I was probably one of the few people to figure out how to pass the Green Tenticle in the NES version of Maniac Mansion, without having to deal with his shit.

[Smiling Jack]

If you've ever played tag on diablo, me an one other guy started that. I had made the suggestion and he said cool lets start getting people to play. then later on I forgot about that night when a buddys freind came by talking about diablo and metioned playing tag. I asked him more about it and he said allot of people do it now. go figure!

[christhegamer]

I think I may have been the first to beat SMB with a quickshot pro XII controller (...and a game genie :embarrassed:) , but thats just me.

also did anyone hear of that insane japanese guy who beat the dreamcast version of Soul Caliber on very hard mode with a fishing controller? I can't beat SC period!!!

[BydoEmpire]

When I first got Sonic on the Genny I was messing around and tried "up, down, left, right A+B+C" and found the level select. I sent it in to EGM to try and win the free controller they always gave away, but someone else got credit when they eventually published it, so I suppose someone beat me to it. It was pretty obvious, so I bet a LOT of people found that.

Hah, I saw the video of the guy beating SC with a fishing controller - that was insane. I also saw a video of some guy doing a perfect run in Monkey Ball - every level, no lives lost. That was even more impressive. Great game, but I suck at it, especially in hard.

[boatofcar]

Hah, I saw the video of the guy beating SC with a fishing controller

Link! I need to see that!

I'm pretty sure I have the high score title on SNES Addams Family.

[FullCircle]

I can't possibly say I was the first to find this, but when I was a kid my brother sat on controller 2 while I was playing Mega Man 3. I died and thought the game had froze until I started pushing buttons and Mega Man came back out of the pit! I wrote in to Nintendo Power, but someone beat me to it.

[Psyleid]

As far as I know I'm the first person to get outside the game boundaries on Jet Moto.

[nebrazca78]

I may have been the first... or at least one of the only people to find the hidden contest in SMS Space Harrier. Too bad all I got was a letter saying something to the effect of "Way to go. Now buy a Genesis."

Could you explain more about this? I've never heard of it.

[Jehuty]

I think I am one of the first people outside of the gaming press to play the finished version of Age of Mythology.
The website of the Australian mag had a hidden obscure competition page to win a copy of the game signed by producer Bruce Shelley.

I won and was sent the marketing gold a month before the game went on sale anyware in the world, it works with every patch too. For some reason I was also sent a year old beta aswell which I have no idea why.

[Slate]

Well, several accounts:

When i got my copy of Maniac mansion for the NES (Used copy) I played it, The Green Tentacle was the one in the basement with the doctor, or the purple tentacle was in the green tentacle's place, and there wasn't a green tentacle. Something like that. Too bad i overwrote that file, i have NO EVIDENCE of it ever happening. :(

Once, i was playing Burnout for the gamecube, and i was doing a run on the freeway, I managed to get the truck into the canyon, Accidentally, AND Over the guardrail! Now someone is going to say "Anyone can do that!" But really, it is HARD to do in the original burnout. You can do it easily in burnout 2 and any other burnout game, But it is hard to do in the original burnout. I saved the replay to the crash for that, And never deleted it.

Another time i was "Testing" the code for Super Star Wars on the SNES that Tips & Tricks found out. I figured that it causes the screens before the main screen to deactivate (Wich it does) And i think it keeps them doing so even after you take the cart out. You can get the screens back by using a Game Genie with it. I wrote in, But I didn't get the hat.

Also, I may have not been the first to do this, But once i was playing GTA San andreas (I was filming this part) And i bought a car from the docks (A $78,000 car) I drove it around, And I took a chainsaw and started thrashing the brand new car! After that, I set the car up in flames with a flamethrower.
....................:devilish:

No, My computer crashed so I don't have that video anymore.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Two things.

First, I found a glitch in Rush 'N Attack for the NES back in 1989, I believe. Hold A, B, and Select before powering up the NES. Keep holding them until the game tries to go into the demonstration phase once; the screen should fade to black and then return. Once you get bumped back to the title screen, let go of the buttons and wait a bit. You'll see the demonstration screen with music! Normally, the game doesn't have music in the demo. Other glitches include the character earning a life on his first kill, and actually playing for TWO LIVES.

I managed to get that code printed in Club Nintendo (Mexican Nintendo Power) in 1992 or so, and it wasn't available on the internet until I submitted it to GameFAQs a few years back. Of course, nobody gave a damn.

Secondly, I was the first and am still the only person in the entire world who has written an FAQ for Legend of Success Joe (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/neogeo/game/575762.html). And of course, nobody gave a damn either. ;P

[Dr. Morbis]

I'm the only one I know of who's "earned" the Commander patch in VCS Space Shuttle. Even in this internet age I've never seen anyone else claim to be able to do this.

I also wrote a guide that makes it really easy to accomplish and put the FAQ on gamefaqs. The text of my faq is also copied and pasted verbatim onto DP here somewhere but without any credit (not that I care, just found it odd).

[Hounder]

I can't think of any firsts for myself but I know of one from a friend of mine. My friends dad is a hardcore gamer and entered some gaming contest through a magazine or something. Not sure how he got in. Anyways, the contest was to be the first person ever to beat a certain game and he won. The prize was a PS2 on the release date. I'd say it was worth it being the first ;)

Btw, I have no clue what the game was. I just remember it all happening :)

[WanganRunner]

Due to my hundreds and hundreds of hours of screwing with it, I'm pretty sure I've managed to get up on some platforms and other places in Mario 64 that no one else has never been on, and no one was ever intended to reach. i've spent entire days just running around in the completed game trying to access places where I probably was never meant to be.

[Happy_Dude]

I think I'm safe in saying I was the first person dumb enough
to brut force SMB/Duck Hunt with a Game Genie.
I use to have a book full of fucked up codes most where just
graphics glitches like having swimming mario on land or never
getting bigger (but still throwing fireballs :) ) Mario as a turtle .....
but a vast majority did nothing.

Oh and I was the first person (that I know of) to find the
alternate GameCube start sound. I never thought of telling
anyone unless they happened to want to play.
Like that marrige proposal on a 2600 HES multicart.
it's cool, but simple enough that you couldn't be the first
to find it.

While I don't know the exact date I received it, I got a final release of Age of Mythology at least several weeks before it was released to stores. I was a beta tester and that was one of the perks. I also was one of the first to get Impossible creatures, Freelancer, and some stupid Hoyle card game due to being a beta tester.

Also I am going to go out on a limb here and say that at least 75% of the things people claimed to be the first to do are false. Just because you hadn't heard of anyone else doing it doesn't mean nobody else has. A lot of these claims are from the 90s and before when the Internet wasn't so popular and a lot of people just played games and maybe told their friends if they found or did something. Someone across the country would have no idea what they did.

Right. Given how many copies sell of even the most heinous games, you have to figure anything you find has already been located by somebody else. A Zelda game will move at least a couple million copies, so that is a lot of competition if you want to be the first to find a trick. Even a game that only sells 5,000-10,000......that is still a lot of people who might be looking for tricks or who may have found them before you.

[TRM]

This (for Rescue Rangers on NES):

2. Invincibility!!! -This is a glitch my brother and I had discovered, very recently, after a late night of Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers. 1] You need to be playing a two player game. Play through to Zone I, the office. 2] In the room with the Zipper, do the following. Break open the Zipper crate with either Chip (it also works with Dale), though execute the "Give up screen" code above. The Chip will then die. 3] Move Dale through the rest of the stage while Chip is floating along in his balloon. 4] At the very end of the stage, before the door to the boss, Chip's balloon will break. He will now be invincible from the Zipper he collected previously. 5] Enter the door to the boss chamber and Chip will have unlimited invincibility throughout the entire boss fight!

I also figured a way to stand on the fountain in Rescue Rangers...I know too damn much about that game.

[cyberfluxor]

Feels like we have some accomplished people on here.

I am the first to do different things in games compaired to friends but they can say the same against me, depending on he game and all. Nothing too special on my end that I can think of though.

[slapdash]

For years I thought that my brother Dave and I were the ONLY people to discover the "magic kingdom" in the 2600 version of Mountain King. A couple years back, a guy showed up with a lot of info about it, so it turns out we weren't the only ones. Still, we MIGHT have been first.

Also, based on Dave's notes and trials, I was able to decipher a bit of the 2600 Survival Island password system. We may have been the first to crack that, though we haven't totally cracked the next load. I also only cracked about half of the Genesis Road Rash password system, but I'd like to think that there weren't too many others who got that far anyway...

Wow... I forgot I even made this thread. I don't really have too many good ones. When I lived in Japan, there are quite a few games that I was very likely the first white person to touch... assuming I got a beta, or went to a location test:

Phantasy Star Online I remember trying out days, maybe a week before IGN gave impressions of their beta. Virtua Fighter Evolution would be a high profile location test I was there for on opening day.
