The whole family watching on a 13-inch TV is the part that really dates it in the best way. 😂 Beating a game could feel like an event because everyone in the room had watched you slowly get closer for days. We did the same thing. My first 3 were Bruce Lee, Ninja, Pool of Radiance all on C64.

Prince of Persia, played on a 286 AT with a Hercules card. Yup, this is how it looked. Can't remember being elated over it, as if it was like this big achievement or something.

I’m not 100% sure but i believe it would have been Super Mario Bros 3. I was in kindergarten when it came out and spent sooooo much time playing it at home or at friends houses so there is a very good chance it would have been this.

Stargate (Defender 2) on the Atari 2600. Clocked the high score so it reset to 0. That counts as beating it, right?

I recently picked up an Atari 7800+ and played this for the first time. Its gameplay is fun, nuanced for its time, and addictive. Once you start going on some runs you want to keep upping your high score.
