My favourite gaming moment was defeating the Lich King in WoW. After 2 months and many wipes with the guild raid team we eventually got him down Such a sense of acheivement which I have never felt in any other game

My favorite game moment was at a friends house when I was in I think Jr High seeing his PC and seeing/playing Starwars Dark Forces, Tie Fighter, and Starcraft.

I did not have a computer yet and compared to the stuff I had like an Atari it was just ultra amazing. Dark Forces to this day remains one of the most nostalgic games I have ever played.

If you sit back and analyze the old shooters like Dark Forces, Doom, Wolfenstein as well as others. It is kind of sad the direction they have taken. Its more graphics driven than experience driven, I miss those long winding corridors with tons of secrets to find and huge open maps that you could get lost in if you didnt find some way to memorize your path.

Absolutely How long did it take developers to come up with the concept of the minimap :P I remember playing Metroid 2 on the gameboy...that game was HUGE, and I had to memorize the entire layout.

Very nice giveaway! I entered, in spite of some trollish comments

One of my favorite gaming moments is playing Need for speed: High Stakes with my older brother. We played this awesome game alot. A true classic in my eyes.

It was also the first game we downloaded any mods too. I remember download a couple of extra cars. One was a big semi-trailer that was extremely heavy and had insane acceleration. When we started a race in the last position, we would just hit Drive and the trailer would ram it's way to the front, leaving wrecks behind it. Hilarious

Favorite gaming moment... when I was kid playing Final Fantasy 3 (6), and the transition to the World of Ruin after I thought I had just beat the game.

Was playing through Mafia 2 recently, and there was a part that I really liked.

Spoiler :

I loved the part when you kill the protagonist of the original Mafia game, exactly like in the last cutscene of Mafia 1 (a game from 2002).

However, this has to be the most epic Battlfield kill I've ever seen:

My memorable moment was the first time that I launched free 4 all in Xwing VS Tie Fighter, man I was alive for the whole 3s

Another memorable moment was when I was playing C&C generals zero hour, with some pals on LAN, the first game lasted a whole 15min before I blitzed with some choppers and nailed both friends, after that they have swapped strategies, both went for the chopper blitz, however I went for some chinese tank rush, it was done before they launched their 5th chopper in the air, lasting less than 10min

Favorite gaming moment is beating ganon in Ocarina of time. So satisfying and the end of my game of the last century.

I am not entering the giveaway, but I still want to share one moment, not very crazy moment though

The start of crysis 2, especially the textures in the sub, I was instantly driven crazy, considering the 90s games we experienced, 15 years of development brought us this far, it is magical, never thought this kind of graphics would be possible.. keeps me wondering what will happen in the next 10 years
