First NES Game Finished 2

Two weeks ago, I finished my first NES game at 24 years old. It was Metroid. I may have been cursing the Jews the entire time I fought Mother Brain and her army of turrets and rinkas, but believe me when I say I enjoyed every bit of that game. I especially enjoyed fighting Ridley, but Kraid's battle was much less enjoyable for me. If you have played Metroid, what was your favorite part? (Aside from the Justin Bailey. *wink*) Also, what was your first completed NES game and what age were you when you completed it?

I started making my own map, but that got out of hand before I defeated Kraid and Ridley, so I just used an online walkthrough. :b

They would have been easy to find, but I did not seek all 255 because I felt that I would be able to defeat Mother Brain without them. I should have done it though. as I knew I would not make it in under 3 or 5 hours by the time I made this decisio. It would have made Metroids a lot easier to kill. lol.

You may be able to throw an NES at a tv in the 90's, but these days if you throw a 3DS at a flatscreen, they both break.

First NES game I ever beat was Duck Tales when I was 8ish. Second and third ones beat were he 2 Zelda games.
I finally got round to Metroid when I got some emulators when I was at uni. It’s a good game, but Super Metroid is still the best of the lot IMO

Metroid is still a major accomplishment.
I play through the original LoZ on an actual NES once a year. It's my favorite.

I think Contra may have been my first as well. Either that or Super Mario Bros.
And yeah Metroid is tough. Real tough. Anybody ever finish Ghosts & Goblins? I think that game caused thousands to throw their controllers through their television screens

Not only did I finish Ghosts and Goblins but I did it on the gameboy port which feels even more stiff, only took about 8 years

i think super mario 3 was my first game to beat. i remember having the strategy guide lol it had full pictures of the maps. like panoramic pics with indicators to where the power-ups were and special pipes. it was cool.
the one im most proud of for completing was BATMAN the video game. as a kid i couldn't get past level 2. i think i was 18 or 19 when i finally was able to finish it.

Anyone ever play Guardian Legend on the NES?

How about Monster Party?

I think it was Yoshi's Island or Link to the Past. I used to play with my grandma. She would always have me take on the dungeon bosses because she couldn't react fast enough. I was 8 or 9.
I never actually finished Metroid, though I can't remember why not.

Why bitch about things? If you can't change them there's no point. If you can change them then bitching just wastes time you could use for making changes.
