What is your greatest Video Game Memory? - GoFuckYourself.com

MrPopup · 01-05-2003, 04:58 PM

Whether it be that time you got 99 men on Super Mario Brothers; actually playing a Vectrex; burning your first Utopia Load Disk; or the first time you played Halo.

I am making a collection of best video game memories and moments and would love the input of fellow GFY'rs who I know are usually witty and intelligent (! WARNING: Ass Kissing Attempt !)

My personal favorite memory....MASTERING THE OLD ORANGE COLORED STRIP POKER GAME ON ATARI 800.

-watching my atari explode.
-beating everyone in duckhunt
-playing sonic for the first time(the graphics & music kicked ass)

quiet · 01-05-2003, 05:04 PM

ultima 5 (i think it was 5) on a tandy circa '87 with no hard drive. my brother and i played it all day and night till we finished it.

KingK7 · 01-05-2003, 05:04 PM

Finally figuring out the last portion of the Indiana Jones III adventure game. Leap from the lions head, or something like that

WendyB · 01-05-2003, 05:04 PM

Humm, that is funny because I was amazed the first tome I played Pac Man. I thought is was such a cool game.
the truth is I was so clueless.

I sometimes am asked to sit in and Gran Tor auto race (PS2) with my daughter.

how did it explode?

remember turning up the brightness to cheat in duck hunt?

Sonic was badass....especially the speed burst

Although many true diehard video game enthusiasts might not consider this to be a true video game.

I remember playing Dragon's Lair when it first came out. The graphics were way beyond anything else available at that time.

SPIKE326 · 01-05-2003, 05:32 PM

When I had my nintendo and the original Mario. I was in a level which turtles walk down these stairs and if you jump on it and stay on it for countless minutes you get a crazy amount of lives, and I actually did it. It was a joyous moment in my young life.

Gutterboy · 01-05-2003, 05:32 PM

Playing "Hunt for Red October" on my Commodore 64 for 20 hours straight to beat it.

I still think that was one of the best video games ever made.

I don't know I just think it was one of the best RPG's ever released. If you dont have it I suggest you grab the ZSNES emulator and the chrono trigger rom.

MuleScrote · 01-05-2003, 05:35 PM

I had played Super Mario 2 all the way through and had just got to the final battle with big boss Wart. My mom got home from work and shut the game console off and said "I'm sure you've played enough video games for the day."

THANKS A LOT MOM!!!

Morgan · 01-05-2003, 05:37 PM

When I was young I would play Metroid on Nintendo for days. I loved it because it was sooo extensive and made you think. Zelda as well...

About 4 or 5 years ago when Unreal came out I can recall pulling all nighters playing with just a few other people on this map called DM_City, which was taken from the Intro on Unreal. Its fucking HUGE and would allow you to travel to places that noone would ever go. You could stay in there for hours/days/weeks and the level would never reset. Just keep going and going and going.... It was crazy...

jojojo · 01-05-2003, 05:41 PM

First time I played Soldier of Fortune multiplayer demo on my new pc which was coming from a 486 to a p3 with a 32mb video card - it was also the first time I ever played multiplayer and what a game to experience it in...

it was the first thing I played on the new computer after reading abotu sof...

NoCarrier · 01-05-2003, 06:27 PM

I reached 1 million in Tron Deadly discs (Intellivision)

Oohh.. and also defeated the Nazis in Cinemaware's Rocket Ranger (Amiga 500). If you don't remember, it was impossible to save the damn game.. I almost started crying when I finished it.

x3guide · 01-05-2003, 06:30 PM

And I would have to say the most memorable moment was getting my first Atari. I was just a little kid, but I will never forget hooking it up and playing my first video game at home. It was Space Invaders. That was pure bliss.

A close second would be the first time I played a MUD against other real people on the Downtown BBS.

Another very memorable moment was my first online Quake deathmatch.

candyflip · 01-05-2003, 06:38 PM

Beating Halo on the hardest difficulty with my girlfriend.

LadyMischief · 01-05-2003, 06:39 PM

I think my very first really awesome memory of gaming has to be Pirate's Gold.. that game was the bomb!

I think the next would have to be some of the gaming tourneys I played and won... Duke Nuken, Heretic, Warcraft, etc etc... I miss those days.

LOL I remember doing that. Used to play all day on one quarter. Just keep flying straight up and shoot the rocks as they come LOL Great game.

Some people would "cheat" and do the old "hunting game" where you would leave one small asteroid floating around and just sit on the edge waiting for the small UFO to come out so you could kill him for an easy 1000 points. Myself, I didn't have that kind of patience

However, at some point, you could get so many free ships racked up that you could actually take a break for a few minutes and just let some of them die, and then come back and go some more

Exxxotica · 01-05-2003, 07:03 PM

Robbing the Turtle in Nintendo-Super Mario Brothers

on one of the levels, if you jump on a turtle just right, you trap him against the stairs and will begin bouncing on him many, many times... which gives you multiple lives.

I did this by accident, I think I had an orgasam when it happened.

01-05-2003, 07:11 PM

Figuring out the last puzzle spelled INFINITY on Ultima 4. Hardest fucking game I've ever played.

LadyMischief · 01-05-2003, 07:16 PM

and old Zorkk games... mmmm

Me and my cousin rented a snes when they were new... and we played Mortal Kombat for 12 hours straight(sure we ate some candy.. maybee a sandwich). Damn at first i couldnt play well because i thougt the graphics and animations were so awesome hehehe.

Edit: And I cant forget thoose sleepless nights in front of the NES... MegaMan 2, Super mario 1-3, castlevania and so on...

mistressofnite · 01-05-2003, 07:55 PM

Atari Adventure (yep, I did say that) - sometimes when the dragon captured you (which usually spelled game over) there would appear to be a glitch in the game and you would go sailing around the castle in the dragons stomach. That was pretty cool.

frankfortuna · 01-05-2003, 08:12 PM

I was a River Raid addict as a kid.

phantom · 01-05-2003, 08:13 PM

finding all 120 stars on N64 mario bothers

funniest memory is my little bro playing River Raid on my atari 2600 when he was about 5 years old. the TV blew up and smoke started pouring out the back of it and he thought it was part of the game when he shot something down

dude, i hear that game is very, very realistic, and you can get instructors to fly with you online. sounds very cool, gotta get it after i get my new joystick (the old ch flightstick leaves something to be desired).

oh yeah, i was tlaking about '02 ver...

iroc409 · 01-05-2003, 08:15 PM

actually, some of my best memories were what started me the most into computer games.. the wing commander series. i've been trying to get Privateer to work for sooo long!

but i hear microsod is coming out with a newer version of it... just not as cool.. i think it's called freelancer, should be out soon.

but a mouse-controlled space sim? eew.

Dildozer · 01-05-2003, 08:31 PM

The first time i played monkey island was awesome. I played it forever.

Trying to beat Mighty Bomb Jack for the NES and never achieving it

One time i played command and conquer on dialyup with my buddy. Prior to the game in the afternoon, i gave him some weed to smoke up just before the game. Then when we got ready we smoked up on our one and played. It was too funny.
