Being ecstatic at finally beating sepiroth at the end of ff7 then disapointed at realising the game I had just put a 100+ hours into was finally over

Jaysus, I forgot long long nights of ISS on N64, This is football on PSone and various Pro Evos on PS2.

Me and my mate would get a rake of cans and play for hours and hours, both on the same team winning world cups etc. I remember he scored one from off the underside of the bar with Patrick Vieira in an Ireland shirt (we did a half arsed effort to get Arsenal and put them over Ireland - doesn't make sense to me either) from miles outside the box. That was in 1999. It's one of my favourite memories of any game ever.

Good times. F*cking good times.

Lemmings, Mario, Half life death match, CS, TFC and DAOC.

Ah now. Doom on the saturn was the worst conversion of it. Even the GBA, jaguar and 32X versions were far better. It had missing levels, crap framrate and only the front view of enemy animations were included (the Ps1 version had full animations despite it having less RAM). I think it was programmed by those shams at probe software.

sounds like the SNES version

Retr0gamer

At least the Snes version was a playable technical achievement. It also ran better than the saturn version. The saturn was capable of much more, just look at the excellent Duke 3D and Quake conversions.

For me it's gotta be:

SFII
Zelda: OoT
Half Life 2
RE4
Various Pro Evos

And the ultimate, FFVII! What a game, so many hours well spent playing that masterpiece!

So many games to think of ..... so little time.

Donkey Kong 1,2,3 on Snes.....wasted so many brilliant hours on it.
007 Golden Eye on N64......wasted so many brilliant weeks on it.

Half-Life 2 was a top game but my best experience was playing the first Call of Duty . I had just got a 21" monitor, new speakers and the bird had gone out for the night . Sat down, turned off the lights and installed the game. That first sequence when the boys are parachuting down beside ya accompanied but the deafening sounds of the nazis blasting rounds at ya ... I was numb......best buzz ever!!!!!

Can't wait for Call of Duty 3 by the way

Final Fantasy 7 : After probably ten - twenty hours of chocobo rearing, when that little gold chocobo was born and I ran across sea and mountains to unlock Knights of the Round and unleashed the devestating force of that attack. I probably peed a little.

Half Life 2 : After 3 hours installing the blooming thing, the GMan came on the screen and my jaw hit the floor. Then I walked outside and was hit with the most spectacular sight in computer gaming history : City 17 in all it's glory. AND THEN running across rooftops while getting fired at. Why it instantly registered in my Top 2 games of all time.

Resident Evil 4 : The siege. After five minutes of frantic fighting i got my head chopped off by a chainsaw in the most gory effect id ever seen in a game. I litreally had to pause the game for a while and just sit in stunned silence as the terror and excitement of what Id just played finally kicked in.

10+ screaming people (most of whom never before and never since) have had the slightest interest in computer games.

Alot of fun

Ocarina of Time, when I got out onto the fields and the morning dew was beginnning to settle on the grass. Or climbing to the top of that windmill in Kokiro <???> village. Wouldn't have the same impact anymore.

Or figuring out the dungeon pattern in Mario 1 on the NES, and beating Bowser. Don;t think I'd have the patience anymore for that.

shinzon

god so many

but 2 standout like bright rays of sunshine

Space rogue on the commodore 64 - spent an absolute fortune buying the 1541 11 5 and a quarter inch disk drive for the 64 just so i could play that game

and

Midwinter on the amiga

Lost hours of my life o those games

I have two Pro Evo 5 on the Ps2 and Conflict Global Storm on the Xbox.
I remember playing Pro Evo 5 till about 2 in the morning with my Dad even tough I had school and he had work the next morning. We done that for about a week straight on Master League. Brilliant.

I rented out Conflict Global Storm and was staying at my mates 4 of us playing the campaign on Split Screen. We started at about 7 and stopped at 6 in the morning. We only stopped because we had finished the game.

Good Times.:)

The first time I booted up Quake on my brand spanking new PC with a brand spanking new rendition graphics card back in 95/96, blew my socks off, great soundtrack too.
Then playing Doom on my PS1 at 3 in the morning while visiting a mate on night duty.
Beating WipEout at a Sony party late in Gamesworld on Liffey St, while hammered, quite a surprise actually, first time I'd done it!
Seeing SuperMario64 for the first time.
Getting to the latter stages of Halo, watching the rather insane Monitor twittering along to itself, then later watching your dropship, the Foehammer, get shot down and that run along the length of the Pillar of Autumn in the Warthog, sweet!
But most of all was getting my 3DO, must have been 94 or so and buying The Need For Speed, while everyone else was playing MarioKart I was racing along the Californian coast in a Viper, and while I think of it, playing Star Control 2 on the same console, some of the best in game dialog and music ever!
