First game you ever beat

As the title says, the first game you ever beat.

For me, Double Dragon on the Atari 2600. Horrible game that was NOTHING like the arcade game at all. Me being in primary school I didn't care and played it endlessly till I beat it, then never played it again.

Second was Alex Kid in Miracle World on the Sega Master System.

Shortly followed by Golden Axe on that system as well.

I'm guessing mine was Adventure for the 2600:

Don't remember if I ever completed Pitfall, always wanted to though.

I think it was Dragon Ninja on the C64.

The ending: you rescue someone (the president?) and he says "let's go for a burger. Ha ha ha ha." They don't make em like they used to.

I don't have a specific memory, but it was probably Ducktales on NES because that was easier than the two other games we owned, Super Marios 1 and 3.

I never could beat that game either. At the time I thought the goal was just to get from 1 side of the level back to it's looped (back around) beginning. I think the actual goal was to collect all the treasure like in the second game.

Mine was probably Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars on the SMS. Not the best Alex Kidd game, but definitely the weirdest.

I also had Cookie, but never finished that one.

Simpler times.

Mine was either States and Capitals or Star Raiders on the Atari 800, though difficult to recall if I ever reached the end of the latter game.

Yeah, pretty sure that's mine too. I think the arcade games at the time basically didn't have endings, a la Pacman.

I think The Goonies on my old 800XL might've been the first game I beat. It's possible I finished another beforehand, but it's the first that pops into my mind when I think back to those days.
