Sorry to have two topics here at once but i couldn't resist. What are your top5 greatest gaming moments
1: FinalFantasy7 - Aeris dying/Sephiroth walking thru flames/humanity being wiped out at the end - dont care what advent children says, thats how it ended.
2: Eve Online - Dying or losing your battleship for the first time. You realise that wow this isn't like any other game iam actually physically hurt right now. I felt sick from the sheer gutteral anghuish i felt at watching my first bs blow up.
3:Playing my First FPS my god its its 3d and look at how the gun sways :) those were the days.
4:First time i played a playstation, the graphical leap was astounding. absolutely overpowers anything that is claimed today despite what they say.
5:Firing my first death hand in Dune2 (amiga) and then proceding to build another 7 palaces. One of the greatest games ever made.

My 5p worth on thoughts about gaming moments:
Truly great gaming moments are the ones that manipulate your emotions to the extent were your usual stioc sitting position in front of the screen is suddenly a hive of activity - arms flaying raised voice - They are getting rarer these days, as more and more originality is being sucked from the games we play. Once upon a time everything we saw was new everything we played was an experience to remember. Now-a-days generic shooter 6 cant give you the same fix.
Half-Life 2 was released last year to unprecedented levels of hype. Guess what i thought it stunk - the game played well the engine is amazing but there was no feeling to any of it. (If i see another barrel labelled flammable i'll scream)
F.E.A.R. just being released has given me more moments of geniunne emotional response in the first few minutes of play than the whole of Half-Life2 admittadly fear is the easiest emotion to manipulate in a video game, but its done well.
This is what we need for gaming moments things we see and remember for how they made us FEEL wether it be through the game design in single player or over the net. The latter being emotional through situation we have placed ourselves in.
We need more gaming moments in todays games.

no final fantasy tactics is awesome, prepare for some really tough fights. especially, man i wish i could warn you, but dont want to waste it.
I didnt like ff8 and 9 was passable nothing compared to 7 FF10 was good though.

First time you see and fight a cyberdemon. Why exactly was i afraid of a 2d sprite ?!? - I do not know but i was. remember this.
BOOOM Clink, BOOOM Clink, BOOOM Clink as it got louder and louder :)
and yes get FF7 greatest game ever made, its a little dated now but hey thats what you get for playing it when it was released. I hope and pray that they will do a re-make for PS3.

The ganandorf fight in Zelda Ocarina of Time was amazing, 'aha i have defeated yee' ill just run away down through the castle and 'what the hell' The dramatic lightning flashes. Perfection :)
SFII Turbo was just great from start too finish time and time again. Its rare to see a game like that anymore :(
Getting possible the fastest track time in Wipeout 2097 EVER. the first track at fastest setting and the fastest ship (piranhna). Every lap perfect think i got 16seconds for each lap after the first.
I think i fried half my brain doing it.
I saw a list of records in a magazine for all sorts of games and i smashed the Wipeout one, but then its hardly official. My score or the magazine :(

1 - Final Fantasy 7 obviously, but less obviously - Those damn long stairs that you run up to get to the something floor of the Shinra building. That part sticks out more than anything.
You do realise you could have taken the lift inside :) no seriously you didnt have to climb all 113 flights of stairs :)

5. The last time I logged out of Everquest just over a year ago. I took my Ogre warrior back to her home city, picked a nice cave with a view, sat down and logged out. Never thought quiting a game could be so hard but I'd been playing with many of the same people for more then 5 years:)
Damn,  that is one of the saddest things ive ever heard in a game. I dont know what i'd do if and when EVE stops. Mine one last cycle of ore, attack anyone and everyone? or fly out to a sun and await the last shut down of the server
Koodos on a gaming moment your number5. is a good un

Eve- The first time you open up the map and think OMG how big is this game!!!!
KOTOR- As has been said.....Me,Revan, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Halo- The first FPS on a console that i thought Holy s**t!!!!!!!
Max Payne- The dream sequence with the bairn crying in the background, Freaked me out.
At this point i could go back to the speccy and amiga days, but that would show me as the old fart i am.
No amiga days were brilliant, lots of fond memories. Dune2, UFO. and even the C64 Midnight resistance. Brilliant. and im not that old.
As for Max Payne i forgot about that, plus the the first time you slow mo kill a room full of guys. with bullets flying all about you. Only to restart and do it again, cos it was cool. How many games make you do that ?
