4rc4ng3L Gallente DarkSide Inc	Posted - 2006.08.16 17:56:00 - [1] Edited by: 4rc4ng3L on 16/08/2006 17:57:24 Okay whether your 9 or 59 you've must have played quite a few games before you ended up here in EVE. SO with all those years of gaming what has been the most memorable moment, something that if asked the question you will always look back on and remember even though in modern times it may seem abit dumb.... Il start it off: I was about 14, got my copy of Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. Wasnt expecting much even though i was a massive starwars fan. I remeber the very first time i loaded up a multiplayer game and right infront of me were multiple jedi all battling each other. The colors the movement, it was all those years of bouncing around pretending i had an actual lightsaber, presented to me and finally allowing me to participate. At the time it was the best thing i had ever seen in my life. Now a good deal of years later it makes me think.... God i was such a geek! Either way il still remember it many, many years from now. Death is the only true freedom, brought on by our own ignorance.... Welcome to the "free" world in which we live...
Benco97 Gallente On Ravens Wings	Posted - 2006.08.16 18:07:00 - [2] For me the game itself is secondary in my most memorable gaming moment. Years and years ago when my mother was around she used to play tetris and i'd sit and watch her, she was really quite good. I miss that.

Tripp Orsam Dragonstar	Posted - 2006.08.16 18:25:00 - [3] A notable moment for me was when I got my first gaming device the Atari 2600, I think I was 10 years old. I had played on a friends one for months and finally got my own. 23 years later I'm still as addicted to games as I was back then Another one has to be the part in final fantasy 7 when Sephiroth kills that girl and that ball of light falls out of her hair and then your character carries her into the water and lets her drift away. Made me cry. Sadest part is that games are nowhere near as emotional these days, either that or im just alot older and less likely to cry about stuff like this. Also when star wars galaxies was announced that got me excited like a 5 year old at christmas (you know, those christmas when you KNOW theres a kick-arse toy coming). Little did I know what it would actually turn out to be there are many nice moments for me but those are the best, or at least the best I can think of right now. ----------------------------- EVE Online perfectly strikes all your free time wrecking your 1994 marriage.
Lluthiunne Atalaron	Posted - 2006.08.16 19:06:00 - [4] The first time i hear the Boom Clink Boom Clink of a cyber demon stalking around in Doom. Completing the first track of Wipeout 2097 at the highest possible speed with the unlocked fastest ship the Pirahna. I never braked once and never even scraped an edge. I got 5 perfect laps and a record lap time of something ridiculously low like 16 seconds. I seriously consider it something like a world record Nailing that first ridiculous headshot from a mile away in Unreal Tournament and hearing the now legendary 'Headshot' Been addicted ever since. The move from Atari etc to Commodore 64 - First game played was Midnight Resistance - I couldn't belief graphic like it were possible. Gaining first place in a Time Crisis booth when it first came out - Although when shooting out my name at the end I missed the Z in GAZ and hit (yup you guessed it) Y Final Fantasy 7 Streetfighter 2 Turbo Being up against 7 players in counterstrike and with adrenaline pumping managing to take out all 7 of them to here your team say OMFG that was awesome on the next round. Getting banned for the first time cos your too good for the noobs. and of course popping my first player in EVE. "What?? I barely tapped him. Old people go down easy."
Krandor87 Gallente Ore Mongers Pirate Coalition	Posted - 2006.08.16 19:07:00 - [5] Too many to name but one of the first game i can remember playing with my cousins was Wolfenstien 3D. 3D at the time consited of rather large blotches and it ran on an old IBM 386.(computers that had a power switch not a button) We use to use one guy for the mouse to fire the other guy moved around aimed and opened doors. But that was like 12 years ago. --------------------------------------- Whats a sig good for?
HolographicEntrypoint The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2006.08.16 22:17:00 - [6] When I undocked and the 14 ASCN who were camping the station warped out... Seriously, when my team managed to turn a 0 to 6 game into 8 to 7 win and thus made us win the DL 4n4 Season made me hop. --- ^ Custom Sigs for ISK, learning rights on sourcefiles My custom Sigs Gallery

I must confess I played the online dueling matches, and the FFA's, far far too much. Those days died when my disc got too scratched.
Jenny Spitfire Caldari LoneStar Industries Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2006.08.16 22:29:00 - [8] Chef in Burger Time gets squished by food. --------- In the blindness, a streak fiery thread violently cuts the horizon. Bleeding golden mists, engulfing the blindness from within. Burning the darkness. The touch of dawn.
Caethes Adain Minmatar The Descendents	Posted - 2006.08.16 23:05:00 - [9] Playing elite on the archimedes, I think it was the best version ever created. I own an archimedes but am still looking for a copy of elite. Purple saturn days on the amstrad, ooooooooohhh, and sentinel!!!!. I remember how hard the game was ad the old 8 bi t computers really couldn;t do 3d graphics, lol. It kicked arse. Alien V's predator in the arcade, that cost me lots of coinage, it was a great game though. First mmo, got a trial of the original everquest and was completely sucked into it. I didn't have a credit card and the rest is history. Sooo many gaming memories, i've been an addict since the 48k speccy's with the rubber keys. Aaaah, those were the days... People dissapoint me. End my dissapointment.
Corphus Sha Kharn Corp Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.08.16 23:26:00 - [10] Edited by: Corphus on 16/08/2006 23:29:03 when i was 16 or so playing wip3out 64 on my nintendo 64 and fulfilling the last challenge before the quasar weapon upgrade becomes available (100% more weapon effectivness to ur onboard weapon systems). i played the game for weeks to a level of absolute "zen" like perfection and aquired all possible upgrades like the team piranha ship, or the velocitar moon race track. after finishing the last challenge i knew that there where additionlal challenges available in the weapon, time attack and championship classes designed for players who are not satisfied playing this game in extreme hard mode...so those where a lil more extraordinary hard deluxe¦ type R ones. i looked at the watch..saw that it was 4 o'clock in the mornin and simply did it. totaly conscious and aware of the fact that i didnt had a memory card and all what was achieved was gone if i would cut the power supply. it was an achivement for sure but in this moment of total self-awareness it didnt mean to me anything anymore and so i pressed the off button and never achieved this level in wip3out 64 again till today. some years later i realized how totaly buddhism-like that was and thot often about it as a sand mandala which is destroyed after finishing by sweeping it together knowing the fact that everything made even with the greatest dedication and arduousness is persihable. i think this was my one and only moment of real gaming enlightment in my life so far.

Grimster Body Count Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2006.08.17 00:15:00 - [11] Could yada yada about playing Elite on a BBC/B in 1986 etc. but best gaming moment for me was probably winning Millennium 2.2 (Atari ST) and then even better, Deuteros (on the Amiga). Click meh if you don't know what I'm ranting about. What a bleedin' slog that was. More modern stuff although technically far superior just doesn't give me a buzz anymore tbh - or maybe I'm just getting old.
Handon Guild Exotic Dancers Club	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:19:00 - [12] I must have been around 10-12 yearsm when I went to the shop with my parents and bought a Super Nintendo, with Street Fighter It was the most awesome thing I ever experienced. Funny how things change with age. When Gran Turismo 4 was released, I went and bought a PS2 and the game...without any remarkable feelings whatsoever. What I'm looking forward to these days, is when we go to Sportscar Event to drive exotic cars...same feeling as when I got the Super Nintendo
Tao Han Caldari Crucial Electronics	Posted - 2006.08.17 13:40:00 - [13] Edited by: Tao Han on 17/08/2006 13:41:31 Playing R.C Pro Am Racing on the old NES with my father after faking sickness in school, long time ago but man was that fun. I must have been 7 or 8
Crumplecorn Gallente Aerial Boundaries Inc. Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.08.17 14:33:00 - [14] Edited by: Crumplecorn on 17/08/2006 14:36:24 Edited by: Crumplecorn on 17/08/2006 14:36:05 My first time playing Super Mario Bros. on the NES, my first video game. My first time playing Tomb Raider, which was on someone else's PSX, in another country, a year before we got our own one. My first PSX game. 2 games that are simply the best at what they do. Also my first time playing Tomb Raider II, a year later, my first PSX game on our PSX. ----------
Xeaon Minmatar A.W.M	Posted - 2006.08.17 14:34:00 - [15] Probally when i had ran out of ammo on a CS pistol round, so i knifed all 5 of their team solo instead Or in planetside when i hot dropped into combat for the first time ------------ Originally by: Righteous Fury Eve is not about the old preying on the new, its about the smart preying on the utterly incompetent.
Lexen Dragovich	Posted - 2006.08.17 14:35:00 - [16] outside of some jump out of your chair moments, I think making our own doom levels was really fun. We pit ourselves against each other to make the most difficult ones possible and then see if the other group could beat them. The rule was that it had to be possible to beat.
Firequill Gallente The Black Ops	Posted - 2006.08.17 15:00:00 - [17] I remember playing battle-tanks on the Intellivision as well as pac-man and some obscure dungeons and dragons thing.. which my dad beat btw :P found him the next morning after getting it and he had just beaten it, with bloodshot eyes and a big grin
Suze'Rain	Posted - 2006.08.17 15:20:00 - [18] Moments that stick in my mind: Watching the loading screen slowly get drawn, one line at a time on an Amstrad 464 - and being amazed at the graphics. First launching a nuke in Civilisation.... (1) Half-life2 "water hazard", when you're running through the river on the airboat, and a gunship's dropping mines, you make a turn, and there's an explosion, and the power station chimneys start to collapse just in front of you... and "will I get there before it lands-ohshiii" first time I saw that it was a incredible buzz. probably the best scripted event I've ever seen in a game. GTA: Vice City, and just stealing a car, driving out to a quiet place, and listening to the radio. that and GTA: SA have some of the best audio in any game I can think of. Rockstar's a company who understand that it's not just about the latest graphical effect... and back in late 2000, seeing screenshots of some daft multiplayer game made by a bunch of people from iceland. Who the hell plays MMOs? and Iceland? what sort of bunch of lunatics come from there? And those images have to be faked. no way is that in-game... but wow, it's like Elite all over again! wonder if I could... (the rest, as they say, is history )
Vyger KarWal Corporation	Posted - 2006.08.17 15:38:00 - [19] So many memories... Sat around a BBC/B with the family when I was a nipper playing those 'text' adventure games. No graphics, it was all about what was in your head and using your brain to solve the puzzles. Sitting for hours in one session playing Asteroids on an old Atari games console and achieving a massive high score. Little did I know then where this would lead many years later Elite ! Many a long hour spent in my wire-framed ship. No pixel shaders need back then. Doom....revolution...revelation...and keep the lights on if you want to keep your sanity. Sneaking back into the office after work hours with other work mates to play Command & Conquer into the night on the office LAN. That moment when a friend in Earth & Beyond said, "hey there's this new space MMOG starting soon called EVE we should all join when it goes live".....
Adoro Reunited	Posted - 2006.08.17 16:04:00 - [20] The day when I won a COD:UO competition and won several nice goodies :) -------- "I'll trade you my sleipnir for your sleipnirs."

Brutus Julius	Posted - 2006.08.17 16:13:00 - [21] When I create my character and jumped into the world of Ultima Online. I never saw anything like it at the time, first mmo I ever played

Desired Username Legio Immortalis Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2006.08.17 16:21:00 - [23] Edited by: Desired Username on 17/08/2006 16:22:48 I used to love the Dizzy games on my old rubber-keyed 48K Spectrum Bloody annoying when you died and had to start the whole game over though. Doom was the first game I stayed up all night playing without realising the time though. Also the first Tomb Raider when the T-Rex appears. ___________________________________________ Please do not read this sig
nahtoh Caldari Bull Industries	Posted - 2006.08.17 16:22:00 - [24] Ah for me it was my first LAN party when playing unreal turneryment hearing someone shout "who the feck is waylander?" as kept one person of the topspot each round by about 1 or 2 kills ========= "I am not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why can`t we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem fix its self
Glassback M. Corp Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.08.17 16:22:00 - [25] Street Fighter 2 on the Nintendo 64, up all night, un-defeated, stoned to the bone. G. I've got an idea--an idea so smart that my head would explode if I even began to know what I'm talking about
Michuh Vortex. Maelstrom Alliance	Posted - 2006.08.17 16:54:00 - [26] For me it was completing The Secret of Monkey Island, for the Atari STE, I was so impressed at the time, I just sat there reading the credits.. then it ended with blinking Turn off your computer and go to sleep. blinking With a satisfied sigh, I did just that. Long live games! Maelstrom Recruitment
Oosel Nightmare Holdings	Posted - 2006.08.17 17:46:00 - [27] ive had to think so long and hard about this and have 3 fond memories of what i think are classics......jeff minters revenge of the mutant camels on the c64. pogo on the speccy and elite on any version even the spectrum once was awesome.....i wasted years of my life playing elite on all formats but the achimedes one was very very cool for when it came out
Border201 Caldari Elite Storm Enterprises Storm Armada	Posted - 2006.08.17 18:10:00 - [28] Oragon trail for the Apple GSII That was the first game I had ever played. 14 years later I'm still going strong! Originally by: Tuxford once tried to kick my brother when I had my pants around my ankle. Probably not my brightest moments.
Kurren Farscape Mining	Posted - 2006.08.17 19:53:00 - [29] Finding out that BoB is not a bunch of devs from THIS game.. they're a bunch of devs from OTHER games... --- --- --- --- SobaKai.com
Datsun Achura	Posted - 2006.08.17 20:02:00 - [30] Must be Max Payne 1... when for a moment, he realises he may actually be a character in a computer game - most surreal gaming moment ever!
