Do you remember the first time you saved the world?

[TallanKhan]

The very first Sonic the Hedghog for the Sega Mastersystem.

 

[Wraithspine]

I Saved the Princess in Mario 64,
The the Galaxy in Lylat Wars (Starfox 64), (If that counts
Then the World in Ocarina of Time...

 

[Da Orky Man]

The first time I 'saved' the world, billions dies. Out of the entire planet's population, Only a few hundred thousand survived, and they didn't even know they had.
It looked like this:

 

[King of Asgaard]

Spyro 2. I remember being over joyed as I saw Ripto plunge into the lava on his iron bird. Ohhh yeah.

Until they retconned his return in an awful sequel.
OT: This, or possibly ridding the world of maniacal swine by throwing their leaders into magical bags in Tombi 2.
Yeah, 'twas awesome.

 

[Elgnirp100]

Spyro 3
Seeing the Sorceress slowly sink screaming into the blue...lava(?) was the first of many satisfying world-saving actions

 

[Gabanuka]

I stopped the moon crashing into the earth and wiping out life as we know. Pretty proud of myself.

 

[BishopofAges]

Definition of 'Saved' 'world' 'first' have been blurred by my brain over the years...

Mushroom Kingdom - saved - Super Mario World
Middle East - Peace Achieved - U.N. Squadron
Hyrule - Princess Saved - The Legend of Zelda
Mars - Bunny Avenged - Doom
Earth - Evolution Acheived, Dark Gaia Destroyed, Peace for the Futrue - The Illusion of Gaia

So If you call it down on the world, this world, Earth. My First would be the Illusion of Gaia

edit: The above list is not in any particular order of beaten first, just in a general 'when I can remember my earliest'

 

[saintdane05]

Ah, yes. I do. It looked a bit like this: <Youtube=o0ncJ5Ijftc>

 

[Tropicaz]

James Bond - Tomorrow never dies on the ps1. That, formula 1 '98 and the original worms were the first 3 games i got with my playstation at aged 5.

It looked like this:

What game is that? It sounds awesome

OT: Final Fantasy IX. I saved the world from a war criminal whose ego was so large that he became a nihilist due to his realisation he wasn't the best and wasn't immortal.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Super Mario Land on the Game Boy Pocket. I guess that might be more saving the princess rather than the world, but it was the first game that I completed and at an age where I usually didn't finish games due to being immensely thick (I was only like 5 at the time). So it was kind of a big deal for me, even if I may have thought him kissing a girl was gross at the time. XD

It was Homeworld, a truly excellent 1999 space strategy game, the first to have full 3d movement. A rather depressing game at times, especially the beginning, but really worth playing.

 

[Slash Dementia]

That's a tough one. I remember that I didn't finish anything on the NES, but I did on the Sega Genesis, so if saving the city counts, I did in Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage.

If not, then Croc: Legend of the Gobbos on the PS1. You save a kingdom...and it probably counts as a world(?).

 

[Myndnix]

Ah yes. Saving the world from the rule of Dr. Robotnik, atop his Death Egg.
Good times, guys. Good times.

 

[Zantos]

I saved the world from Gnasty Gnorc as a little purple dragon. Good, good times, still one of my favourite games ever. In fact, I wonder if I still have the disk somewhere...

 

[JochemHippie]

The very first time I saved the world...

I rid Albion of the horrible reign of Jack of Blades.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Wasn't Super Mario Brother just saving Mushroom Kingdom? Well ok thinking way back I guess that would be Red Alert? If I didn't Stanlin, he would of conquer the rest of the world.

 

[Sean Steele]

Convinced the Master to Kill himself and that he was not saving the world by spreading a super-mutant genocide.

 

[Xaio30]

Kicking the shit out of Lavos once and for all in Chrono Trigger. I think I was about 10

Thank you. It sounds fantastic, I'll give it a shot
