    I think I was 8 at the time... at it night and day, its what got me hooked on RPG's :)

    Second one I completed was Mystic Quest.. about the same age at the time.

    Pools of Radiance on the C64. That's a frightfully hard game even today...can't believe I did it when I was 10 :)

    I have never completed an RPG. Short attention span, I guess.

    Yeah, Zelda for the SNES was my first. Man, I went a whole month without food, tv, toilet or social life playing that game. Without doubt one of the best game I've ever played (which isn't saying much, but still :))

    Zelda and Mystic quest on the Gameboy. Also, a few Lone Wolf books and some issues of Proteus (monthly role-playing magazine). I used to love the artwork in proteus

    The Legend of Zelda on the Nes (not Snes :P) Still remember how to do those lost woods + mountains, up, left, up, left and then up, up, up, up, up :) Came on a smashing all gold cartridge as well.

    My younger bro did zelda III in one sitting just to get 000 on the save game, he also did Super Metroid in under 1 hour(or was it 3 ? whichever gave u the special ending) and collected 100% of items in the same game, he's a bit mad at times :)

    I used to have a loathing for RPG's. That was until I actually played one. The first I played and beat was Shining Force 2 on the Megadrive. Ever since I've been hooked on RPG's and is the main reason I have 8 RPG's beside my TV ready to be beaten.

    Zelda 1 on the NES. Man alive that was a brilliant game, throwing bombs everywhere to try and blow up walls and then when you eventually completed it there was a new even HARDER version with all the stuff in stupid diffcult places.

    The SNES version of Zelda was one of the best games I ever played as well. Would Monkey Island 1 and 2 be classed as RPGs? Or are they adventure games? They were piss hard yokes never managed to beat Monkey Island 2 though I did manage to beat my head off the screen frequently while playing it.

    Oh christ .... me thinks I still have a vic20 tucked away somewhere

    /me runs off to find it and see if he has "adventure"

    Ah ... the Vic20 ... that bastion of computing on which I started my way to programming at the tender age of 9 on BASIC in-between games of "blitz" and Bongo using that 20k (yes ... 20kb) ram extension.

    "Wizards & Warriors 3" on the NES. It was a class game, I'd love to play it again but sold the console and games a long time ago unfortunately.
