Favorite Gaming Moment

Fox 6 · 08-18-2004, 01:48 PM

My favorite was fairly recent, I was playing Halo, I was driving a Wart Hog and there was a guy in the Gunners seat and i guy in the Passenger seat. I drove up to a building and an elite throws a plasma grenade on the Wart Hog. The passenger and i jumped out, but the guy on the Machine gun stays in there, the grenade explodes and sends the Wart Hog over a cliff, as its fallling the guy on the Machine gun says " Is that all you got?!" Then he fell off and died.

My brother and I were like 10 and 9. Our parents made us go to a party with some of their friends and we were the only kids over there so naturally I decided to bring along my PS1 and NBA Live 99. My brother chose the Pacers and I chose the Jazz. The game was back and forth the whole time. I used Antoine Carr most of the time because I favored him and he usually made all the clutch threes I needed even though he had a horrible percentage

10 seconds left and I was up by two. My bro had the ball. I D'd him up when he passed half court then he passed it around till it got to Miller with about 3 seconds left. He pulls up. I jump for the block. He makes it with no time left! I screamed like a new born ogre.

Even though he won, it's still my favorite memory because that was when we used to play together. Nothing is more fun than multiplayer. NOTHING.

Me and my brother always used to play NHL '94, ( or whichever year we were in at the time) when the Canucks games wernt on TV. We'd turn on the radio, play the teams, and listen to the game. Those were fun times.

But if its a single game, it would have to be with one of my friends ( Kehlin) and it was about 5 years ago, but we decided to play NHL '93. I was St. Louis, he was Edmonton. We played 20 minute periods, and the game ended a 0-0 tie. It doesnt sound fun, but it was super fun. It was the longest, double shut-out game i've ever played.

Either when I got the highest score possible on Crazy Taxi for Dreamcast or when I beat Wizpig on Diddy Knog Racing. I remember I lost that game a week after I beat Nintendo Power's best time on Star City by almost half a second.

Or the barnyard scene in Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Or getting all 20 secret seashells in Link's Awakening without a guide.

My most memorable game of all time would indeed have to be Ocarina of Time, for a while I thought the game was God-like.. I must have beat it 20 times at least. I don't know why or how, but it just did what ever other game I played up to that point couldn't do. Opening up the game (it was a surprise present) for christmas would have to be the best moment though, honestly, even though I wasn't playing the game yet.

Other memorable games are Chrono Cross, Suikodens... and Final Fantasy XI had it's fair share of funny moments too... it's just insane how stupid people can be in that game.

Damn that Wizpig.

It took a looooooong time before we beat him.....

Did I get all the seashells?? I never use guides btw.

KillerGremlin · 08-21-2004, 08:34 PM

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.

That's why you use Pipsy. She's the most manuverab....Why is this coming out of my mouth?

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!
