What was your first game that you tried to finish, but failed and you just gave up.

My first game that I gave up on was proably Super Mario N64, but a couple years later I came back and beat it. :)

I think Eve of Extinction, I got to this part where you had to get across a lake. I tried like 100x and then finally gave up on the game.

Advance Wars 2. The last mission was a pain (and Sturm was a bastard in general with the most broken stats EVER) and I basically gave up. Never beaten it even to this day.

Megaman 3, Ecco The Dolphin, Sonic 3 (stupid barrel from Carnival Night) and Kid Chameleon.

BTW I did beat Sonic 3 once I figured out that obstacle when I bought the Sonic Mega Collection.

It's been so long I can't even remember. However, with a lot of the games I played as a kid and gave up on, I eventually got my own copies and then finished them.

First game I actually gave up on was probably Clay Mates on the SNES. Great game, very fun once you get into it. I need to give it another play to finally finish it off, got stuck in the last level as a child, some mad scientists circus or something.

Like acouple of others stated, Ocarina of Time. It stands out because of it's reputation and the fact that it (my indiffrence toward the game) marked a sabbatical into actual human interaction for me. Not to worry though, I've been subsequently re-addicted to what really matters, videogames. Still, no drive to finish OoT.

Donkey Kong 64, when the battery on it died when I was like 2 b ananas away from beating it 100% I never beat it again, I still casually dabble here and therebut Im always afraid to commit myself to it againin fear that the battery will die and erase my save again.

I think it was Raiden on the Turbografx-16. That's a hard game when you're 4(or any age, for that matter, I still can't beat it 10 years later...XD)! D=

I think Castlevania 64 was the first I gave up on as a tyke. But I am going to finish it sooner or later now that years have passed and the old 64 is looking more enticing than ever before...
