    In this topic, we share with others the experiences we've had while gaming, good or bad, that have stood out in our minds years after they've happened. I'll start with a few:

    * The first time I booted Super Smash Bros Melee, back in 2001. It was friggin' magical, and that game dominated my life for the better part of about 10 months. I sorta miss that game, to be honest. :X

    * Super Smash Bros Brawl. Boss Battles. Intense. 'Nuff said.

    * Setting foot into the open areas of Mizar's Palace (Jet Force Gemini) as Juno. Epic.

    * The entire ending to Zelda: Twilight Princess, starting from setting foot into Hyrule Castle to Midna disappearing.

    * The first time I played through Ocarina of Time and pulled the Master Sword. I don't care for the game much anymore, but it was responsible for skyrocketing my interest in art and that twist was amazing.

    * Finding out what was in the "lost treasure" of Old Rogueport in Paper Mario: TTYD. Priceless!

    * Booting practically any Mario game for the first time. SMB1 and 3, Mario 64, and Galaxy stand out the most to me.

    * Beating the pants off of your rival for the championship in Pokémon. Any version, really, but it had more impact in Red/Blue/Yellow. He acted SO smug the entire game, even when beaten, only to have the championship for mere minutes; not even long enough for his grandfather to come congratulate him. Blue receives such a thorough pwning, and when you're in the heat of the moment it's like elation when his last Pokémon finally falls.

    I feel similarly whenever I beat Lance. Dragonites are a pain.

    That's enough from me, now! >_>;; What do you guys remember most?

    For me its reducing an enemy unit's HP to 1 in Super Robot Taisen.
    To do that you need a lot of luck

    Memorable gaming events. mmhh, "magic moments"...

    In Metal Gear Solid when Deep Throat died (FooooooooooXXx!!!!). And only half an hour later Meryl`s dead Body...and those innocent views of mother nature, combined with a nice little poesy at the end gave me the rest. *sob*
    The whole Game was an emotional trip for me - But especially those scenes.

    edit: 1989/90 my first Game for my brandnew Gameboy was "Super Mario Land". Was amazing to get in just one try straight to the Extro, the end-sequence were this catchy Music starts to play. ;) maaaaaaan, I was proud.... :)

    edit: oh...one thing almost forgot. I am a huge (HUGE!) Turrican-Fan. And i bought both "Super Turrican" for the Snes, just the day when they were available here in Germany. Can`t explain it in words, what i felt first playing it (and then for weeks nothing else ;)). Just awesome.

    I guess I'm the old man here. Playing the first Super Mario Bros. on my friend's brand new NES back in '85 was epic.

    I can remember games like Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Metal Gear dominating my teenage years. I actually spent 13 hours straight playing Zelda one weekend. A personal record that stands to this day. Playing through and beating Metal Gear was very rewarding too.

    I'd also spend hours after school playing friends in Tecmo Bowl tournaments.

    Nah, you're not the only one. I picked up gaming in '87, when I was 2. That's about as early as anyone could, really! :p My brother and I used to play Tecmo Bowl... it was the only sports game I enjoyed.
