Kings of the Beach on NES. I don't know why, as a three year old, I had decided to master a volleyball game, but I absolutely ruled that game.

Either Adventure, Yars' Revenge, or the Star Wars game where you're flying the Millenium Falcon all on the Atari 2600.

...One of the first three Mario games--I can't remember which, but my money's on the first one.
Was I supposed to put something here?

Chip and Dale for the NES. I couldn't beat any of the games I owned at first, but I rented this one day and finished it in 2 days.

Super Mario World.
I got it and the SNES for Christmas so I got around to beating it sometime the next year, I'd say '93 to be safe.
Found the quick way to Bowser's castle and was floored that I beat it so fast.
Must have been 6 or 7.
If you don't want to count that one because I found the quick way through, then I believe it was either StarFox (SNES) or Kirby's Dreamland (GB).

The first one I can remember besting was Batman on the NES. Yes, the Sunsoft Batman game. I must have had savant-like abilities back then as I tried repeating this feat recently and failed miserably.

I have never beaten that game. Granted, last time I played it was about 15 years ago when it came out, and I haven't tried to play it since then. But the furthest I got when younger was the guy right before the joker

Sunsoft's Batman, like Tim Burton's, came out 20 years ago, not 15.

Ok, twenty years ago then.

I love how an Intellivision game has advanced in the title.
Donkey Kong Country, I think it was. First game I ever owned (not counting those NES games someone gave me for the SNES I got for my 4th birthday). I generally sucked at games as a kid, though, so it took me a while to get through it. But I did learn how to curse pretty creatively in the process, so the experience was all worth it.

The Intellivision was advanced!
It was the 1st 16-bit console, and another one wouldn't come out until seven years later.

For me, well, with prior knowledge, I did Zelda: OOT.
Without prior knowledge, the first game I beat was probably Zelda LWDX (though I can't remember whether or not I just looked up hints onlne or beat it legit)
Beating legit, I'd say Sonic Advance on GBA (though I never got the chaos emeralds, and the Sonic series is too easy to even consider having really beat, but I did it with all the characters, even the infamous Amy Rose).
Confirmably beating legit, due to the limits imposed on my game time during childhood, I can't say exactly which game I beat legit first, though I might try digging into more games to beat legit (right now I'm working on System Shock 2).
But if I remember something, I'll post again.
