Favorite Gaming Moment

[KillerGremlin]

Oh my god.......I spent so long beating Wizpig, both times where real hard. The difficulty level in Diddy Kong made it all the more fun to play. I could never beat that T.T. guy. He was like.....really fast.

I remember playing Keen4e for the first time.....waaaayyy back in the day. If you don't know what it is, go download it. I'm fairly sure it's shareware at this point in time. Keen was a badass little dude. He had a pogo stick, and a ray gun, and the level design was awesome.

Keen was no mario though.....but mario didn't have a pogo stick either.

Not my favorite but a good one:

I had just gotten PSO for the Gamecube and Vampyr and I (With some friends) all went to a friend's house and played the splitscreen mode. The House was so freaking cold and we had to cover up in blankets. The slowdown was awful but we still dealt with it.

Yeah that was cool.

Ahhh yes, I remember that. That is probably one of my more favorite moments as well. But man...it was FREEZING in that house. I couldnt feel my feet man I was having a ton of fun. Especially when everyone else died and I killed the dragon.

A few more memories:

Once again sly and I were at the same house, but it wasnt freezing this time. We had all gathered together to play Dungeons and Dragons for the first time, and while we were making our characters we often took breaks to play video games. I remember that me, sly, and two other friends were playing Perfect Dark multiplayer style. I think after a while Sly and one of the other guys just quite, and left me and my other friend playing. Whover got the next kill would win the game, and we were on two different sides of a sliding door, and we knew each other was there.

We stood there for about a minute, waiting for the other one to open the door....or so he thought. I had played the game long enough to know that after a while the other person gets the impulse to change their weapon. About a minute into the wait, he did just that. I had also learned enough about human psychology towards the game to know that for some odd reason when they get in a nervous situation like that, they try to get back to their original weapon instead of using the one they accidently switched too. I took that small opportunity to open the door and kill him. He got pretty angry, but I enjoyed it.

You guys talking about Diddy Kong racing also brought back some memories. I had read about that game in an issue of NP, and had wanted it for a while, and I got it for christmas. My brother started playing it, and we fell in love with it. I loved driving around, exploring the island, finding hidden passages, and of course: racing. It was one of the more perfect racing games, and I probably had more enjoyable times with it than I did with Mario Kart. There was just so much to do.

Another excellent memory is when Sly and I spent 3 or 4 hours at a mall DDRing. Good times.

ah..so many memories..my best one was probably *flashback* at my friends friend's magic the gathering tournament, after almost taking 3rd, me and the host of the party played MK trilogy on the 64. him bragging about "his mad liu kang sk1llz, and how he could do every brutality/animallity etc. w/ every fighter. i just said "yeah." and asked him what the low kick and low punch buttons were, and then selected Sketor(my signature fighter next to smoke) and 0wn3d him good. he did a bike kick as his 1st move, and i was hold ing the down button, i uppercut him during the kick, flying kicked him, follow with teleport uppercut, 2 or 3 missles, kick, game. set. match. it was a 20-6 victory, with me using the 3 cyber ninjas(mainly smoke and sektor). he was pretty angry with 20 losses in 1 night..but it was just fun seing the look on his face.(note: he's a supposed Genius on IQ scaling, so that was a big blow to him) but it was all good. eventually after the 5th match, we had the whole tournament-goers watching us. it was pretty cool.

Well, playing Mario Brothers on Nes was a joy for moi, Mega man, I just loved to jump into the next screen and see the slow mo effect. Double dragons 2 was the stuff, me and my friend would play through the game and beat the crap outta each other going through the stages, or we'd beat the game just for fun.

Contra, Contra force and Gabal on Nes because of the multiplayer, man I had such fun playing those games.

Eternal Champions on Sega Genesis, that game was memorable because of the last boss, oh man was that last boss hard, I can't even remember if I beat the guy. I think I beat him atleast once.


But one game that topped it off was OOT, I remember diving off of that cliff and into the water, and feeling the sense of satisfaction of achieving goals and becoming more powerful. OOT is one of the best games of all times as far as I'm concerned, I haven't played another game that was as engrossing as that one since then.
Although i do have to give props to Banjo and Kazoie (sp?)

Oh yeah and RE1 on PS........the dogs jumping outta the windows for the first time. Classic!

My more memorable gaming moments are fairly general... First time playing Twisted Metal and Resident Evil on PS1 at my friend's house... Thinking how awesome they were and how I just had to get it...

Then going to my other friend's (who had a Saturn) house and us discussing which system would be the best... Me mentioning that I wanted a Playstation, and everyone there saying forget that, I should either get a Saturn or wait for the "Nintendo Ultra 64" (which of course wasn't out yet, hence the Ultra)... Hahaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh WEEE!!!

That and back when I was a kid, playing Nintendo and Sega Master System in the basement... I'd have little marathons where I'd pick out certain games, play the first couple levels from one, then the next, etc... Then my brother and his friends would kick me off and I'd just watch and act like a dumb little kid...

fun times...

I can't really think of a specific in-game moment... Although I know as a kid I really wanted to kill Quickman and his damn level in Mega Man 2, and playing Resident Evil 2 for the first time was special fun because I loved the first and played the demo to hell...

I remember i used to "play" with a kid that used to live on my street when i was like 6 or 7.

We had many a good day playing Double Dragon, Contra, Battletoads, Marble Madness, Skate or Die, And any of the old Nintendo Hockey games.



Good times.

*plugs it in*

two of the best moments in gaming I had was playing mario 64 for the first time (also it was the first game I ever play that I can remember away) I ran and dida triple jump into the water thing that goes around the castle and started to swim I dreamed about that all the time but I still can make it to the water. and whenI first got to yoshi on the roof it was so cool. Oh and when I first got to the roof from wall jummping.

I had one of my greatest gaming moments yesterday.

I played Free For All in WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne. I was Night Elves. I build up a kick-ass army with lots of heavy units. My 2 enemies (the 3rd was dropped out) probably attacked eachother, cause they didn't bother me much.

After a while I attacked enemy A, destroyed his army, went to enemy B, destroyed his army.
I was to weak to destroy their camps.

That's when they teamed up against me.
They rebuild their armies and came for me at the same time.

I wiped them out, 1v2.
That was great.

Edit: I have the replay for anyone who wants to see it.
