    Oh forgot about a ISS98 moment was down 3 -0 at half time ,clawed it back and in dying minutes my bro was pissing about with his keeper timewasting ,i dispossed him but hit autopass and ball shot back to my player on half way line, time was in 00.00 for ages ref was about to blow so shooting would half missed as all the players were knackered only thing was to lob with it in the general area ,which i it flew in air for ages hit the post he jumped up said NAH NAH the player who made the original pass launched into a super human diving header and squeezed it in.


    Also just reminded of how SHE got the 1st hole in one on MArio Golf and it sat on the high score page for months until we erased it off by getting them ourselves.

    I can't believe no mentioned this.
    In the dungeon when all those ghouls come out of the smokey ground.
    All you hear is the movement of graves and your wondering where it came from.
    It gets me every time.

    Gunstar heroes - playing it and wondering how a game could be so good and how the hell was the megadrive able to handle it.

    Final Fantasy VII - playing the whole game was a magical experience.

    Final Fantasy X - ditto

    Grandia - ditto again

    Super Metroid - having the **** scared out of me by one of the bosses

    Suikoden 2 - The beautiful opening and also the only game that almost made me cry, twice during the game no less!

    Also
    Luca blights death scene was brilliant and then realising that the game hadn't finished

    and
    the death of one of my favourite characters in the game

    Super Mario 64 - No blocky textures! I didn't have much faith in 3D games until I played this. The first game to have a fully 3D world and still be a great game.

    Shining Force 2 - my first RPG!

    Mega Man 2 - Game design perfection

    How could i be so remiss as to forget Metal gear solid. That game had so many memorable moments. The fight against vulcan raven, the ninja, psycho mantis and the vibrating controller bit/switching controller bit, Gray fox appearing at the end, absolutely legendary stuff :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,181 ✭✭✭✭Jim


    Fighting the Ghosts in Metroid Prime....they looked so purty.

    Also Zelda OOT, final fight with Pig Ganon.

    Ye... what's the point of doing all those little missions and not getting anything:(, still a great game :D. Oh and right now I'm playing Far Cry, the FIRST time I have ever been outflanked by computer A.I.. I was clearing out a room from above and I had killed two of the armoured mercs and the rest just disappered out a door, I just stayed there (crouched & aiming) to see if they would come back into the room - so I could finish the job:) - next thing I knew I was being attacked from my side. they had gone out through another room up some stairs and down a corridor to get to me :D. They killed me quickly enough - I got a real surprise.

    - FF9 - Beating osma
    - FF5 - Realising how great FF was even without the gfx
    - Half Life - The three headed sewer thing that responded to noise
    - Sonic 2 - Spinning for the first time

    It was because of playing Resident Evil on the Gamecube, for what could be said for a longer time then was a good idea. I was looking outside through tall sliding windows, spoted a group of bird (crows I think) on a tree, at which point I said “fuck, they’re going to get us”. And after that I probably said ‘fuck’ again, because I had left the game controller down about an hour ago and was standing in the kitchen of my friend’s house.

    Collecting all the chaos emeralds and going super-sonic for the first time.

    Also have to agree with the resident evil bit where the dogs jump through the windows... so unexpected :)

    Getting a job as a forklift driver in Shenmue... excellent.
    If only working in real life was so much fun.

    Bladurs's Gate - Having my reputation go from 18 to 5 in the space of 5 minutes after thieving every house in Beregost :D

    Baldur's Gate 2 - The rush I felt after beating Kanggaxx The Demi Lich, if you've played the game you'll know what I mean.

    Resident Evil - Encountering the first zombie with just the knife. The dogs bursting through the windows in the eastern L-shaped hallway. The weird music played in the outside area between the guardhouse and the manshion.

    Resident Evil 2 - Being persued by Mr.X through scenario 2 and nearly having a heart attack every time he comes through a wall.

    Ultima Underworld - Beating the game before my dad or brother who were both as heavily into the game as I was at the time. And the gloating :)

    Streets of Rage 2 - Getting to the very end playing co-op with my brother only to be felled by the last boss.

    Half Life - Having to creep past that giant green stalk monster thing in the rocket test chamber without making noise and throwing grenades to distract him.

    Street Fighter Alpha 2 - Watching the look on my friends face after I annihilated him with Akuma's Raging Demon move for the first time.

    Street Fighter 2 - Finally mastering Zangief's Spinning Piledriver move after many long hours and two very sore thumbs.
