Hello, this is the Imp Zone so I assume we're all gamers here. Nothing is more important to a gaming enthusiast than that cherished memory of their first rescued princess, speaking metaphorically of course. Please, use this thread to share the first game you've ever beaten solo, no help from parents, friends, or siblings. The first game I ever beat was Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.

i beat super mario land 2 but it's more of an endurance contest than a challenge because it's easy as gently caress but it's so long and boring

Nobody ever helped me beat games even when I was a kid so it was probably either Pitfall or Dungeons & Dragons for the Intellivision, since those were the first games I remember playing that actually ended.

I had friends over and we played together/I passed my game boy around a lot whenever I got the slightest bit frustrated or wanted a break (I was never good at 2d marios...) so it took a while. way longer than I thought now that I think about it.
it's me. I'm the manbaby

I think it was Pac Man 2: The new adventures when I was like 6-7, assuming winning monopoly for the Genesis doesn't count. Sonic 2/ Earthworm Jim's defeat didn't come until later.

either Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers or Ducktales. probably C&D because it was the first non-SMB pack-in game I got for my NES, but Ducktales was way easier

I beat it again recently. Good poo poo.

Coop was the power rangers movie game on sega. By myself would be Super Mario World. Never got past the balloon special stage, though :(

never play rescue rangers co-op because your douchebag sibling will throw you into enemies for laughs

it's me i was the douchebag.

ducktales was amazing but i had the guide that was written using an early beta and all the monsters were different and i beat the game multiple times on every difficulty trying to find those monsters

yeah I don't know that my best (only) friend in elementary school and I ever advanced beyond like level 2 in C&D co-op

ducktales, though, we'd pass the controller on. got to the point where we could beat it in like 45 minutes. came up with some very elaborate theories about how scrooge spent all that money, what kind of shity gifts he'd buy huey dewy & louie to humor them

It wasn't that I missed the dash capsule it's that stupid kid me was unable to dash and jump at the same time in order to make it high enough up to reach a ledge. I am pretty sure I would just spend all of my weapon energy trying to somehow get up because I was really stupid
