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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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 deluxeŠ 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 )

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".....

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.

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!

Goldeneye: 007 - 4 player all night long
Battlefield 2 - I had a friend that raided the aircraft carrier and he managed to get like 6 people killed through tks. It was damn funny. Best moment was when a guy tried to run over him with a jet, but missed and ran over one of his own teamates and the the plane went over the edge. Then the a guy in the AA gun tried to kill him but ended up hiting a semi-full Blackhawk that was behind him.

Another notable memory was playing the game MULE on the Commodore 64 with my older brother... It was a trading game, and he understood trading and I did not, and I always lost, but loved the game...
Super Techmo Bowl, a lot of fights with my brothers while playing that game...

my best gaming moment has to be HL1, had it on a LAN network at home, against my dad, who practiced lots, my sister who very rarely did aything with PC's, and my dear mother who never knew what hit her...
My fave moment was the day i crept up behind her wirh a crowbar, and swung it at the wall, i heard her shriek from another room in the house, then start swearing as she turned around ran out into the open and was shot through the head by my dad who was hiding high up with the crossbow... only to re-spawn in front of my sister who was holding a missle launcher...
she stormed off and refused to play again and me and my dad were just sat in different rooms howling with laughter...
Dad then challenged me to a one on one match, he as usual ended up in a high, area with one entrance and exit and the crossbow, after 3 deaths i gave up ranged attcks, and equiped my trusty crowbar, and ran, climbed and jumped my way to his hiding place and clubbed him to death before he could focus the camera angle to shoot me
anywho those are my 2 ... happy times

LOL,
Only in videogames can you get to say you blugeoned your mother and father with a crowbar. Then top it off with.
'Ahhhh those were my best memoroes'
lol nice one.
It raises a point with games in general. I'm of the mind that the best moments are the ones that involve other people. Even in there most mundane moments they can topple the best single player moments.
For instance when i was 5 i got so far into the Atari game defender that all the level numbers went through letters then reset to 1. I remember that night '4am' so well not because I got that far but because my mother came into the bedroom and I remember her face bleery eyed.
'Why aren't you in your bed'
'Cos..mom...the score, and the it started all over again and I got so good that they couldnt get me and cos the score'
'mmmhhmmm come on bed'
I remember it so well.
Ditto for epic matches of Streetfighter, Goldeneye, during which a friend became so frustrated he pulled the cord from his machine and red faced look me in the face and said.
'Thats it i will NEVER play you again'
I said come on one more game
F off
I swear i'll be gentle, tell you what i'll play with one hand
hahaha you can't beat moments like that.

Hmm...the two that immediately come to mind would be...
Beating Starfox 64 on the hardest difficulty with a number 1 high score while asleep from the moment I was halfway through the first stage, all the way until I beat the last stage. My friends had been watching me. They couldn't believe it. If they hadn't had videotaped me, I wouldn't believe it either.
Or the 13 hour tournament of Halo (only had the one machine, and with 17 people wanting to play, it turned into a "Winner stays in" kind of match), and never getting cycled out the entire time in 4 minute FFAs.

One of the best for me must be a certain game of starcraft:brood wars that I played when we sat up a LAN at my place. It was me and two buddies playing free for all, and they had both attacked me to the point where all I had left was one very small, but luckily enough easily defendable base in a corner. I got some breathing room when they attacked each other for a bit, and managed to build a sizeable protoss carrier fleet. After that, all their bases where belong to me...

Final Fantasy 7 was probably the best gaming experience I ever had. When I finally finished it I just sat back and thought, wow!
For space based stuff Freespace 2 seeing the Sathanas tearing up some GTVA ships for the first time was probably the best.

Hmmmmm...
Playing Unreal Tournament, I forget the map name, it was the one where you where on a set of sky scrapper roofs. Anyway, I got the big nuke weapon (Ah, how memorys fade) for the first time ever and shot it into the open space between the buildings. As it turned out I and only one other person playing the full game where not in that space at the time. Thus I was shocked to hear my game scream 'Holly ****' for my 12 simultanious kills. Havn't had a rush like that before or since.
Pretty close, though, was a single game of Battlefield 1942 where I decided nothing was unworthy of being rammed by a spitfire airplane. I never fired a single shot and yet still racked up 30+ kills. The best instance being when I swooped onto the german troop transport vehicle, taking out the 4 units inside but not being plowing through two other units runnng beside it, shooting at me franticly.
Ah yes, and dropping 15 nukes on an enemy base at the same time in Starcraft. Only 9 went through, but he had a couple pylons left in the end.

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
College, Freshman year, hearing, "Who the hell is Gurney Halleck?!", repeatedly, from various rooms on the dorm floor.
I miss Half-Life. CoD/CoD:UO are great and all, but FPS gaming reached its pinnacle with Half-Life.

A lot of my favourite gaming moments came from Ultima Online. Some due to my own stupidity but a lot to do some fun PvP fights and teamwork.
There was one battle that I remember in particular. It started with someone in my guild calling out for help in UOAM (UO:Automap). I was the first to the scene and my guildmate was already dead and looted. The (single) enemy then came and attacked me. He was widely known as an item ***** and twink but I managed to keep up the healing and occasional (weak) attack (I was a mage). Eventually backup came, on both sides, and it evolved into a massive group fight.
That was a common thing on the Siege Perilous shard but it was the first time my guild acted like a well oiled machine. We were cross healing and target calling, protecting corpses and ressing where needed, setting traps and trying new tactics. It was a classic fight.
We did eventually win but only because our usual gank squad arrived (we had many allies as we were mainly a RP guild, not a PvP one).
Ahh, UO was great. The slightest spark could lead to an epic battle. We had a popular player ran town and it was constantly raided by the big PvP guilds. We also had a popular duel pit and you never knew what side the participants would be on during a raid.
We did try raiding some of our enemy events (champ/harrower spawns, etc) but our goal was never to become the best PvP'ers (we had some really crappy ones in our ranks!).
(A shame that UO sucks so badly now...).

First to mind would have to be doom 3 for me. I played wolf 3d when it arrived. Doom was born, i would of been in the 10-12 age bracket i think. It had moments where it genuinely scared the **** out of me. Many years had passed, and the rumours were abound that Doom 3 was inbound. First day it hit the shelf I had a copy. At the time i was living in a small 1 bedroom unit in Surfers Paradise, tiny little place. Working nightshift, my days end between midnight and 3am, so i got home on saturday night/sunday morning, 3am, doom was pre-installed from that afternoon. Lights out, sound up, head first.
After a long period away from anything remotely like doom, more playing BF:DC, I think i've shaved a few years off my life (sparks death-test says i'm only getting to 42 anyway... few more... not good...) in the time it took me to complete it. Brought back some memories of the old doom. I even had a friend around to take a look cause he wasn't sure if purchasing it was worthwhile, he was halfway to gibbering watching me jump out of my skin :D The doom movie itself was a freakin flop, but Doom 3 was a better horror/thriller/action movie than it ever could of hoped to be.

My most epic moment would have been playing age of empires 2 on the zone.com. I remember a 4vs4 team where my team was completely on the receiving end and kept losing t'ill one point where we cut a path through the forest with onagers and started to hit them in the back. What followed where on of the most intens moments I ever had playing a rts game. The game took hours to finish. But we won in the end.
I had loads of epic moments playing allegiance, these days u can find it on www.freeallegiance.org . That game is all about space sim and team work, one of the best multiplayers games ever made that forces you to do teamwork to win. However a multiplayer space sim never goes without some good dogfights. Sometimes in that games I just feel like god podding everything on my path. You have those moments when u have 10 vs 10 fights bullets placing around you. And comming out on top such fights feels very good
Quake 2 was also very fun to play in multiplayer (no I am not a hax0r). Crocky gfx bunny hoping around with a chaingun/rocket launcher/ railgun u name it and blasting all on your way.
Battlefield 2 well if u play karkand 24/7 you get so many moments and is so heavy on gameplay that you say OMG after playing it for hours on end. It never bores too.

Playing Out of this World. For it's time, it was one of THE most fun and immersive games I've ever played, way beyond it's time. It still holds that record strong for me I haven't played a game quite as fun in that style besides maybe Abe's world.

In no real order:
1. The ENTIRE "Deus Ex" experience. Illuminati? Paris? High-tech underwater facilities? Playing it was spectacular.
2. Loading up "Tomb Raider 1" for the first time. The graphics in its day were....staggering.
3. In EVE, going into 0.4 a sec system with friends for the first time. I was in a Punisher I could barely afford, and HOLY CRAP was it tense. We killed some rats with bounties of about 45K and I felt like I was rolling in ISK. Unbelievable feeling.
4. The end of Homeworld 1 where the song "Homeworld" by the classic band 'Yes' kicks in and the credits come up. I actually cried

This story is simple enough.
How many people remember Ultima Online?
Well anyway, it was a PvP tourney going on, 2 mages were fighting, for those of you who remember old UO there was a spell called magic reflect which reflected one spell. Anyway one mage forgot to dispel the magic reflect of the second mage and got hit by his own spell due to reflection. Ended up killing himself.

Two I can think of:
Jumping into Tau-37 (I think) in Freelancer - the one with the two clouds, top and bottom, and two suns.
And the first time I fired 250 rails in EVE. I was flying a Thorax, with a full 250 loadout, and had the sound turned up pretty high; I think that the 250 rail sound is one of the best SF gun sounds I have heard.
I was expecting 425 rails to sound like God knocking on the door; actually the sound is pitiful.  Maybe they should have switched the two sound files?

I was about 12 or so when street fighter 2 was still in the arcades only. There was another kid in my school who thought he was the best video game player ever. I begged to differ. He decided we would settle it by a game of SFII. I had never played before. The match was Blanka (him) vs. Dhalism (me). I kicked his ass. He had no counter for the long reach of that weird dude.
I later bought SFII for the SNES. Still to this day I'm quite possibly the greatest SFII player ever. I will make your life a living hell with Ken. Only the original though. The later versions are all weird with combos and ****.

Oh no my friend, Oh no no no. You are reading the words of the greatest Streetfighter that ever was. 
Been playing since Streetfighter I and have followed it ever since. SFII Turbo still remains my favourite though, still haven't been beaten to this day and I looked exhaustively for people to play.
Shame i can't play you i'd like the challenge

Hmmm, many come to mind:
1. Bruce Lee (C64) - took me years to realise I couldn't complete it as I didn't have a joystick that supported diagonal direction. :o
2. Ghostbusters (C64) - another one that took me literally years to figure out how to catch the ghosts once you arrived at the buildings.
3. Snow Bros (arcade) - made it to level 25 on one life, and level 39 on one credit.
4. Creatures II (C64) - first time I killed the last boss without cheating.
5. TIE Fighter (PC) - finally completing that mission where you have to defend the interdictor Harpax from another star destroyer and endless waves of TIE bombers. :|
6. Twisted Metal II (PSX) - every time my brother and I would play together. I was always Thumper cos his special weapon ruled. This game belongs in the dictionary as a definition of the word "fun". :P
7. Final Fantasy VII (PSX) - I watched my brother complete it before I gave it a go, and I found a summon materia that he missed (think it was Titan) by accident.
8. Diablo II (PC) - completing it on the first two difficulty levels for the first time. Never did make it on the hardest, though.
9. Counterstrike (PC). I was never into FPSs but my classmates at the time (2003) coerced me into joining them for a few rounds at a netcafe in town. I'd died something like 25 times before I finally landed a fluke shot on someone - my first ever CS kill. _b
10. Eve (PC) - first million isk, first NPC BS kill, first PvP kill, first solo PvP kill, first fleet battle, first PvP kill in a gang I was leading, etc. No other game has provided so many memorable moments as Eve tbh.

My best moment come from the time we were playing MUD's (grandfather of MMORPG)
I played on LOC2 and me and 5 of my neighboor we would play together (that was long before triggers and macro came in).
We had 3 computer at home and one of my friend was playing alone while we were talking. He was in our Clanhouse sorting his stuff. Suddently someone just came out of hiding and backstab him.
At that time we stop talking and started to tell him what to do in the fight.
Like 10 secs in the fight we just realised: Hey why dont log on and go help him?
We did so and we killed him, he came back and we killed again, then came his clanmate and we killed 2 of them.
I must say we really enjoyed splitting the loot and gave a lot of WP (warpoints).
It's been over 8 years since that happened and we all still talk about it.
MUD gave me the biggest Adrenaline Rush (enough to shake while playing) and UO is close behind.

Some other awesome souvenirs are on Gran Turismo 2 with Phil.. Me, driving a Viper RT/10 with sports tires and sport exhaust against his Acura Type-R pretty much full-racing setup on Grand Valley Raceway.. oh the joy of 15 laps bumper to bumper (and never touching each others), tail-braking, powersliding, red-lining, drafting and fighting with my steering just to keep up with that zippy bastard around the corners.. taking back the lead on the straights. oh joy..
Also, a 1'01.304 lap on a Viper GTS-R on Red Rock Valley.. you guys try to beat that ;)

At the start of this millenium I was running a TFC clan in the UKTFCL and we played a match in that seasons cup which had a TFC radio commentary.
We played a Spanish team over 2 30 minute maps and we slaughtered them and as well as amemorable game we got a memorable commentary. Shame I lost the file when I had to format my PC not long afterwards.

I used to play for a TFC clan for 2 years as well. Best fun I have ever had really. Clan name was Bad CompanY [BCY]. We didn't get far in UKTFCL but if I remember correctly we won 1st division of PMTFCL I think it was. God I miss that game.
