The first game I ever completed

Saboteur was a great game (in 1985) and as a four-year-old I was mighty pleased with myself when I finished it on my own with no help from the grown-ups.
You played a ninja who arrives by dinghy to a huge industrial complex, intent on committing some evil act. All you really did was take one computer disc and put it in the mainframe to wipe it out or something. Honestly, it's been like 20 years since I played it. But I vividly remember climbing up and down loads of ladders, falling down lift shafts, taking out guards, going around in those cool subway trams and escaping in the helicopter.
Since I am blessed with the useless gift of having a photographic memory I memorised my way around the entire complex (yes, even when I was 4) and ended up completing the game several times over. Just for the fun of it. These days I can't even look at a game I have already finished.
For a dated game on the truly ancient Sinclair ZX Spectrum (I later bought it again on the Commodore 64 as it was a direct port) this was brilliant. Most retro games of this age I would find hard to enjoy today but I know I would have fun playing Sabotuer again. And I'd probably still remember my way around.
