Strange Cookie Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hey everyone! My post in another topic led me to this: let's bring back a topic so often used you couldn't sell it for newt in edible form to a poor, hungry homeless chap at a garage sale. I was wondering, if you had to choose one single moment in your personal gaming history, one moment of utter delight and amazement, one gobsmakking moment you just know you'll carry with you for the rest of your gaming life... you can see the question coming from miles away... what would it be? My personal favorite has to be in, rather unsurprisingly, Ocarina of Time. The first time Link jumps to the future, and you leave the Temple of Time. Hyrule in ruins... The deserted marketplace... The mumbling zombies... The foreboding circle at the top of Death Mountain... The hovering castle above the lava... The darkness... And worst of all... Ingo running Lon Lon Ranch... How did it all come to this... Cheery start! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caris Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Welcome to the boards. Mine would have to be... Seeing Hyrule field for the 1st time in OOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzer16 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Mine is this .......(and dont laugh...) N64, Goldeneye, The Dam (....yes the first level). Remember the gate after you killed all the bad guys in the bunker, the towers and the tunnel, before you got onto the actual dam? Remember how you get through it? Shooting the lock right? It took me almost a week to figure out how to get past that gate, and when I did I was so thrilled, so pleased with myself I nearly cried 'cause it was so simple..... Greatest Gaming Moment EVER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerMonkey Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 great gaming moment for me was killing the first boss in blackwing lair on World of Warcraft . When the dungeon came available all guilds found the boss hard and to kill him after 15 good attempts was amazing as all the people on microphones were yelling YESSSSSS AT LAST etc. Great stuff.

Roostophe Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Completing OOT. Winning the WEFA Championship on Pro Evo with Villa. Finally taking control of Stilwater on Saints Row. Final Fantasy IX. The annual hunt in Lindblum (I forgot the name). I love the music in that. I love most of the music in the game anyway. But I love doing the hunt in Lindblum. Especially if you have The Ogre equipped. Kills 'em. The end of Super Mario 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roostophe Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I never got to that bit. Not even when I got it on Xbox. Ah, while I'm here. Shenmue 1. I loved it all, the fights and the QTE I liked, the only thing I didn't like was the Gollum-inspired character who you battled at the end. I just didn't like him, and I was glad when I kicked his arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 We've done this before - My finest gaming memory, and indeed the finest gaming moment to be had, is when I stepped out into truce village in Chrono Trigger in 600AD and the music plays, experiences like that are not had often.
