THe first game I'd ever beaten was actually Super Mario Land on the classic Game Boy. I remember when almost everyone had that game but couldn't get past level 4. The second game I'd beaten was Elevator Action, also on the Game Boy. Flash forward about 10 years and the third game I beat was Halo 1 on the PC. The only real consoles I've ever owned was the classic Game Boy and the 360. Ever since getting a 360 though, I've beaten all the games that I've bought. It seems games nowadays are definitely more centered around story than before. As I said earlier, most people I knew of that played Super Mario Land just stopped playing after the third level. Now, games give you infinite lives because people want to reach the end. I'd prefer it that way.

And a side note that's completely unrelated, the ending of Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 left me scratching my head more than ever, but the story for the games was still interesting.

One more thing, I remember watching Gargoyles as much as my beloved Power Rangers. Those were the days.
