I definitely put a lot of time in with my Atari but I was very young and who knows if any of what I played had a win condition. What sticks out in my mind as my first is DuckTales for NES. Those Capcom Disney Afternoon games sure are something, huh?

Couldn't get it to work as a kid. In fact, it made me lose lives.The Koopa shell stair trick helped a lot.
Agreed. Just ended up being a quick way to end the game.Couldn't get it work as a kid. In fact, it made me lose lives.

I came to the NES late, being my first console at the ripe old age of 11. But those were definitely tough stages, but I did have some help in some old Nintendo Power mags that covered some of those tricks like the infinite 1-Ups, and I also had several of the "How to Win at Nintendo Games" books, which also likely covered some of those tricks. I still find SMB pretty tricky, even after all these years.I wanted to say this forum is pretty hardcore to beat Super Mario Bros so early. 8-3 and 8-4 are brutal, and we didn't have all these powerups the sequels had. I beat Mario 2 and 3 before 1.
Hrm. Thinking on it, I think this might be mine too. I played a lot of SMS, Atari, and C64 games, but I don't recall finishing any of them. I was young and dumb, but fortunately DQ just allows you to throw yourself against it over and over until you fail forward. Which I did!Somehow, I think it was Dragon Warrior
Someone else that started the NES era with SMB and Zelda II! Very cool. Of course, it was 1990 when I finally got an NES, so to say I was late to the party is an understatement.Since the Atari 2600 had so few games with "win" states, I'm 95% sure it was Super Mario Bros when we got our NES. It sure as heck wasn't Zelda 2, the other game we got that Christmas.
Uhhhhhhhh probably Hugo's House of Horrors?
