1: The very beggining of HL2, when you get off the train into the whole opression rules area. With no idea what's going on. Then later on walking down the big city square where you can barely get a glimpse of a strider lumbering down the street.
2: The huge before the citadel in HL2 as well. Where you are in the burnt out building surrounded by striders and combine in all the close by buildings. Good stuff.
3: Building a Big Bertha in Total annihilation and watching as it randomly decimated my enemies base from the other side of the map.
4: Firing a nuke in Command and conquer generals, also using the fuel air bomb is up there as well. Love those explosions
5: Sniping somebody out of a helicopter in BF2 for the first time with my M95, it's hard to match that kinda feeling of accomplishment I felt as his helicopter started flipping over in mid air until is smashed into the side of a building.

OMG! I haven't played TA in years. I remember building my first rack of Berthas on a custom map, much pwnage ensued. :D

Edited by: Lluthiunne Atalaron on 21/11/2005 11:16:00 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.

Earth and Beyond : My first trip into the fishbowl as a level 150 Progen Warrior. Killing all the bosses, then seeing Aren'Zael The Master spawn and looking at his hitpoints and nearly peeing myself 
Eve : Joining Omega Corp with a friend named Kiono, not knowing how notorious it was 
Starsiege Tribes : Sitting on one side of a large gap with a sniper rifle like weapon (dont remember what it was now) and sniping people to death as they tried to cross the gap with their boosters, every time one would die Id make a whistle and a crash noise 
Eve : Finally getting 100 million isk via my own blood, sweat and tears 
Earth and Beyond : REBOOT! If you played on Pegalag like I did, you'll understand. Oh how I miss thee Area, oh how I miss thee.
As far as MMOs go personally I find the community much more enjoyable than certian aspects of the game, the last experence shows that.
I miss EnB, despite eve being a vastly superior game, EnB was a lot of fun, and I think any player who really stuck with it until the end like I did would agree, it was fun in its simplicity, in the ability to go out and just blow the crap out of stuff without much preperation or hassle. TBH EnB was the sandbox that I used to prepare me for the big bad world of Eve.
BTW, I havent bought an Electronic Arts game since EnB closed

Edited by: Wrayeth on 21/11/2005 17:18:19 In no particular order:
AvP2 - Turning off the lights and playing as the marine in single-player (with 5.1 sound) is the creepiest thing I've ever experienced from a video game.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - The part where you find out your character's true identity. "Revan? WTF?!!!"
Star Wars Galaxies (before I cancelled my subscription because SOE ****** it up) - Taking on five Imps at once in Coronet and owning them all repeatedly for about 10 minutes (until their cloner zerg finally overwhelmed me).
Battlefield 1942 with the Desert Combat Mod - Shooting down a MiG-29 with the abrams; much ownage while flying jets and choppers.
Baldur's Gate - discovering you're the bastard offspring of the (now deceased) God of Murder, Bhaal.
Baldur's Gate II - the whole thing with the dark elf chick was amusing.
Master of Magic - Casting "Call The Void" and watching an opponent's entire city implode.
Hexen - The entire gothic ambience of that game was badass.
Original Doom - 'nuff said.
EVE - The first time I undocked a battleship; the first time I gutted another player battleship; the first time I one-volleyed a player frig from 120km in my tempest. -Wrayeth

I think my single greatest acheivement was beating SFII Turbo (with Guile) on hardest dificulty without conceeding a single round on my SNES. Remember reading that as well as all the various different endings, finishing it without losing a round got Chun Li to speak at the end. Took me a lot of tries, and after watching the end thing for ages, gave up on hearing her speak, hit START to return to title menu, heard a "Yah Ta" and fade to black... -------------

Which one Hippo? Fleet Command shuffling off her mortal coil or Kharak burning?
(I'd hazard a guess at Kharak burning....Barber's Adagio hits the spot rather too well)
(I was close to blubbing both times)

Quake: 1.) Firing my first ever rocket in multiplayer and watching some poor guy explode in huge great messy chunks and 2.) Finding the Painkeep mod

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 :(

Originally by: Confussled Bugger 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 :)

Strangely enough, all of mine happened in Everquest...
1. The first time we killed the frog for the druid epic quest. Everyone on our server was using two groups to beat him, we did it with 5 people...
2. four maning the bridge trap in Chardoc. I'd set off the trap, Enchanter Friend would mez all the mobs and my warrior and a friends Shadowknight would kill everything while a druid healed us.
3. First time we downed Aten Ha Ra. Cleared to her in record time, pulled her by accident and slaughtered her with a vengance.
4. First time we downed Ralos Zek. It took 12 tries before we got it right but when RZ died the whole guild went crazy:)
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

played gazillions of games the past 20 years, but this scene wont go out of my head ^^
jin
I soooo agree with that. One of the best moments in gaming history, for sure.
Have to add that I made a character named Felix Furlow in WoW just before I stopped playing it. I made him a Paladin, as that's what my friend loved playing(In another game). Using his name, in respect to him and his life. He was a good friend to me and we played together for 2 years, he died from diabetes last february. ------------------------ Gamer by nature, poet by heart. |

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. -----------------------------------------------

1: Commander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy series finish 2. finishing Wolfenstein 3D ^^ 3. the singing scene in the Curse of monkey island 3, (on the boat :¦) 4. Opening scene in Command and Conquer Red Alert 2, (where the red army invades New york) with the music and all, was an awesome scene.

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 ?

Half-Life, first time i encountered them commando's...hid behind a barrel.. then hear them throw a grenade over it and it rolled just in front of me. Fantastic! Tomb Raider(yeah i know..) when i first met the dino. Realms of the haunting, sweet mother of holy **** that game scared me.. I had several complete nervous breakdowns during that game. Didnt help that i was playing it at 70 degrees north winter time either. X-Wing - 1 of the first A-wing missions where you were supposed to recon a enemy fleet, and zillions of them kept warping in. 2nd or 3rd mission in first Hitman game, where you kill the guy in the restaurant. Syndicate(had just gotten sound blaster 16) and used a shotgun for the first time on a bunch of people.

When I was playing an Age of Empires II 4v4 team game online with some random people I'd never met. I was getting crushed and was about to be out for good when a massive cavalry charge from my allies turned up, was just a really cool moment
