ZX Spectrum games you completed on your first go

[PeteProdge]

You pull the cellophane off, load it up, select your controls, go into it and BANG! You've completed it! Won the day! ON YOUR FIRST EVER GO!

I can't actually think of a specific commercial game I've bought where I did that, but there may well be a covertape game that I stormed first time. There's Aliens Neoplasma which I finished on my second or third go...

Spoiler

(Come to think of it, the closest I've come - and this is about ALL platforms - would be Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Second Edition for the PlayStation 2 which I 'won' a million on my second go. Alright, so it's a glorified pub quiz, I know, I know, but, same difficulty as the TV show. I'm owed a million!)

Anyway, have you done this amazing feat? It was probably Bruce Lee, wasn't it?

[worcestersource]

Very possibly Moon Cresta.

[p13z]

Yie Ar Kung Fu. - requires some kind of serious outside interference to not complete that one.
Likely a few games involving skill-less bashing / waggling - Daley Thompson / Hypersports / Track and Field style.

Terminator 2. Probably one of the easiest games ever made. Although it was thankfully "borrowed" off a friend so I hadn't wasted actual money on it.

Possibly Bruce Lee, although it might of been a couple of attempts I'm not sure, reason being I know it took a couple of attempts on "other machines"

The Manic Miner 'experience' had taught me to play simple platform games well (sort of)

[uglifruit]

Green Beret and Ghosts 'n' Goblins. Obviously. And anyone that took more than one go is a loser.

(Actually I did all the stages in Beach Head, but not on my first go)

[J. Pirés]

I remember 'Phantis' by Dinamic. I completed it on the first loading. If it wasn't on the first attempt, it was on the second.
It wasn't something common in those days.

And more recently,
Aliens: Neoplasma
Redshift (medium level)

There are many others from different platforms.
Most of them are 'Walking Simulators':
The Stanley Parable
What Remains of Edith Finch?
Firewatch
Dear Esther
Gone Home
Journey

I don't think I completed a single Speccy game on my first go. That's impossible, surely...?!

I mean even games like Bruce Lee must have taken me >10 attempts to finish.

[Nick]

I don't think I've ever completed any game first go, but I can split my collection up into four different catorgories:

Ones I completed within the first six months to a year e.g. Bruce Lee, Pyjamarama, Finders Keepers, Sam Cruise, Back To Skool

Ones that took a bit longer - Where Time Stood Still, Bored Of The Rings, Ant Attack, Everyone's A Wally, The Hobbit, Three Weeks in Paradise, Wriggler (which I completed once by a complete fluke) and Manic Miner (which I managed get through all 20 caverns a mere 34 years after first playing)

The so near but so far - Antics (I can usually reach Boris but always run out of energy on way back)

Nowhere near completing - everything else

[R-Tape]

I think I did complete Bruce Lee first time, but a few years' ago. I never played it BITD.

BITD I quickly completed Saboteur on easy. Once you've learned the map for that it's a given. I suppose it doesn't count and you have to complete it on the harder levels, but in my book if you escape in the chopper you've done the job.

More recently I remember playing the infamous Double Dragon and The Running man and making such easy progress that I wondered if they were cracked versions (they weren't).

[Juan F. Ramirez]

Cobra's Arc by Dinamic (YES, BY DINAMIC!).

[Sham Mountebank]

Equinox by Micro-Gen because like an idiot I used an infinite lives poke on my first go. I never made that mistake again.

[Oloturia]

I can't remember a game "completed" on my first go, but when I reviewed Raid Over Moscow on YouTube, I accidentally completed the game on my first run. I played it when I was a child and maybe occasionally a handful of times in the last 20 years.
