Super Mario Bros. 2 I think.
I remember watching my dad beat Phantasy Star around that time, or even before that, though.

I can't lie, that first game you beat on your own is definitely a feeling that sticks with you.It was probably one of those Fun School games on the ZX Spectrum? Deep cut I know.
Barring that, most of the games on speccy were hard at my age, but Kirby's Adventure on the NES meant a lot to me because that was a game I could beat all by myself and it had save files as well. Probably one of the best games on the system, and certainly the best one I owned.
Completely alone? Donkey Kong Country 3
Before that I remember completing some games with the help of my mother like Mario World.
It was the first game I finished and one of the only games I ever played with my mom. The Genesis 3 and all the games at Toys R Us were on a stiff clearance so one day my dad surprised us and came home with my first video game console and bags of games. Fun times.
— one more for the club!
It was my second NES cart after the SMB/DH pack-in cart.
I have fond memories of my father arriving home with it on his way home from work one day. Don't know if there was a specific occasion attached to the gift or if it was "just because".
