When I actually played through the entire first Super Mario Bros., I got the hundred lives or so from World 3 and played through the whole thing. By the time I faced the dragon turtle thing in the last castle for the last time, I had zero lives left and I was small. I ended up running under him as he jumped and grabbing that golden axe just barely. It was an awesome moment.


(At first, I thought this thread was about a great moment in the narrative of a game, in which case I would have went with the death of a beloved character in Final Fantasy VII...)

Beating Super Mario Brothers 3 back when I was a wee lad was a huge deal for me b/c it seemed extremely hard then and took me quite a while.

More recently, I would say getting Gold (3 Bats) on all the Challenges in Batman: Arkham Asylum. Well, that and some decent song rankings in Rock Band 3.

I agree The death of Aeris in FF7 was pretty tragic...considering there was nothing you could do to stop it.

I also think the whole of the school taking off in FF8 was pretty spectacular.

Beating your first Big brother in Bioshock too.

I was playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and I was making my way to Weynon Priory as one of the initial quests. I ran into a Khajit that aimed to steal my wares and rough me up a bit, and after a semi-close battle he begins to retreat, having low HP. I pursue him, however it takes a bit for me to catch up to him because I played as a Dark Elf, and they tend to be slower. I catch up to him finally, but an Imperial guard just happened to be strolling down the dirt path, comes up, stops me. He yells "Stop right there criminal scum!", attempts to arrest me for stealing (which was weird because I didn't steal anything), and I try to defend myself against him. I almost died, but defeated him, get a bunch of high level armor I shouldn't get until later, etc etc. But his shield went rolling down the hill, so I had to run down and get it. I grab it, a mudcrab comes up and starts attacking me, kill that, check its inventory, and it has the usual 1 ct. crab meat, however it also had a spoon on its person. This was decidedly hilarious to me at the time, and I remember laughing out loud and asking to myself "ROFL why did have a spoon?"

It never happened again. But this was the most fun I've had since FF7.

There was a game called Mountain King for the Atari 400/800. The basic purpose is to run through some mountains picking up these diamond specks all over the place. But on the lowest level you have to be very careful. If you are down there too long a huge spider will run out and wrap you in webs. Then if are not able to escape your new cocoon it will run back out and devour you. Well, being a kid who knows my mom hates spiders I have her come and play the game. My siblings and I coax her to play and "encouraged" her to go down to the lowest level. Well, the spider comes running out and she screamed and dropped the controller.

Needless to say her character got eaten.

Good times...good times.

I found gold on a wolf once...What does a Wolf want with gold?

Call of Duty, MW2, Crash, CTF.

there were a couple of guys smart mouthing me for whatever reason, so i naturally want to prove my worth through actions, i race them to the flag but one of them beats me to it. now im a team player so i try and escort him home, but he still gets gunned down by the enemy team. i waste the guys that kill him, pick up the flag and make the last run home.

now for those of you who know crash, we were running up that alley on the south side. now i've got guys on me, but im doing well shaking them. nevertheless, i almost made it to our flag before i fell. however, i had last stand on, so im down and i start crawling, slowly towards the flag, i can feel the timer ticking down. the guys are actually covering me and cheering me on a bit, at the last second i deposit the flag and score. as soon as i get the point i die. it. was. legendary!

and now MW3 doesn't have last stand, ah well.

Wow...Greatest moment?

Hmm...hmm...

Since I found this 38 second video that describes EXACTLY one of my greatest moments, I have 3. I can't decide between the two.

1. Beating Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time back when I was like, 10. Glorious.

2. Playing Gears of War: 3 on horde mode, single player (just normal difficulty though, lol): it was the 20th wave, a boss wave with 4 beserkers. I oneshot cannoned two of them, and gunned down the third. During the fighting, I got backed into a corner, and was charged by a beserker. I tried to evade, but ended up covering flat against a wall and the distance between me and it couldn't have been more than a few inches, so I ran like heck, rolled while reloading, got the active reload on the retro lancer and just aimed for the head as it charged for me again. I killed it with the last bullet. I actually stood up out of my chair, put the controller down immediately, and went outside for a smoke. I wish I could've recorded it. It was INTENSE.

3. When I realized just how magnificent the animations in KoA: Reckoning are. This short videos deals with 3 of my favourite attack styles in that game. The chakram discs, Elemental Rage (A 1-2-3 combo of lighting, fire, and ice) and Meteor. Enough said.
