it was a local tourny, for cs... a clan match at that. on dust.
I came running out of the spawn with my awp out, too a right and went down the ramp hugging the right side... crouched down next to the box at the bottom and shot, ended up getting 3 headshots on the other team with one bullet... man i wish i would've gotten a demo of that

wasn't that the code for almost any and all games made by that company? i forget which one.
most vivid memory....i think playing EF2000 wow...the graphics in that game were nuts..i was stunned...im still looking for that game just to see what i think of the graphics now...and Half life...wow...
1. Playing Metroid on the original NES - you have no idea how much I loved that game. There's just something about it that drew me right in. Hopefully I won't be let down by the new one.
2. Legend of Zelda, Legend of Zelda 2 - the first one was awesome, but when I played the second one I was hooked. Another game that I've beat many many times.
3. Sonic the Hedghog - at that time I had never seen a game so pretty and so fast.
4. Finally getting quake 2 to work right with my riva 128 card...man did that game look awesome.
5. Playing Tomb Raider for the first time.
6. Ecco the Dolphin on Dreamcast - Gorgeous game. Life under the sea never looked so good.
7. Resident Evil on Gamecube - with the great graphics and real time lighting it made the game even freakier.
ummm, that's all I can think of for now.
edit:
how could I forget?
8. finally getting out of the blasted whale in Kings Quest 4....oy was I stuck there a long time.

The ending of Bionic Commando for NES. It was the game with the guy who had the grapling hook for a hand and you could use it to swing from ceilings and stuff.
Anyway...the ending of it has you falling down a big tube, and you have to shoot this ship right in the cabin window as you are falling. The pilot/head boss guy was an Adolf hitler look alike. In his parting message as he's dying he said the word "Damn". I was probably 9 or 10 at the time and was like "Whoa! He just cussed...IN A VIDEO GAME!....COOOL!"
and then 5 years later I played duke nukem Which reminds me...the first time I blew up somebody in duke nukem with a pipe bomb and Duke exclaims "Holy Sh!T!"
And also giving the strippers money....ah...the killing of innocence

Everyone's naming off early gaming memories: mine come form the old Commodore 64, playing Leaderboard Golf with my Dad, and beating the original Double Dragon.
But my most favorite gaming moment came from Max Payne, one of the early levels. I walked into this room and got shot, but saw that there were guys on either side of the doorway, so when I reloaded, I tried the bullet time dive for the first time. Dove into the room holding a desert eagle, popped the guy on the right in the head, then spun around before landing and popped the other guy in the head, too. Two shots, room cleared. I wish I could have saved it as a mpeg file - my all-time favorite gaming goodness moment right there.

4. Throwing two nades in the vent of cs_assault and taking out 4 people each.

The first thing i thought of when i read the thread title was "my first nade kill in CS a week ago!" ...ugh, so hard to kill people that way. lol
Yes, I played unhealthy amounts of Contra. Probably beat it after school, every day for about 3 months. Must have gotten tecmoBowl around then???
And yes, that was the code for every game by .... DRUM ROLL PLEASE ...... Konami !!!!!
You don't have to hit SELECT. It will still work.
Beating a REALLY old arcade game Ye Air Kung Fu was my favorite gaming moment.
I think it was one of the first fighting games that wasn't just a button masher.

After a QII team match where I fragged the hell out of a bunch of losers and then got to break it to em that they'd just been beat bloody by a chic,who built her own computer,that was faster than theirs and that I was also a Grandmother ,sometimes life is good
Playing the last 4-5 levels of DoomII
man.. loved the demonic midi music and revvvving of the chainsaw..
We still haven't had ANY game since the original doom that captured such adrenaline, gore, killing evil fiends....
it was just pure evil.. man still boils my blood thinking about killing those big boss Spiders with a double barrel shotgun.. with each shot popping thousands of blood clots and screams of pain...
oooooooooooOooOooo!!!!
you just know you're on emotional crack when you get Beserk medkit... Your heart starts pumping, the screen is smeared red with bloodlust.. doesn't matter what kind of super weapon u have, u just start wandering around blowing guys up with your fist

Bard's Tale - Getting to the last room and having to traverse the 45,000,000 transporters on the floor, in complete darkness, to get to the center of the room. I just got pissed and started banging the arrow keys until I got there 1/2 an hour later. This was a decade (at least) ago.

AMEN to that.
I was in college when gl quake and vquake came out.. I remember buying my diamond monster 3d card at Best buy for something like $199.00 or something similar. At this time, I was working for Walmart making like $400.00 a month and paying for my own schooling/rent/insurance, etc, so this was a big big purchase for me.
I got home, put the card in my pentium 166 system (overclocked to 200 mhz), fired up quake, and my jaw dropped. It was like having arcade quality games in my apartment.
I skipped school for the next week while I played Teamfortress. I was damn good at that game.

-Digging through the ice mountains on Dezoris in Phantasy Star on the Sega Master System (if anyone knows wth I'm talking about). Also, the 3d maze dungeons was really cool at the time, getting lost in those...
-C&C1, first time playing that when it came out was awesome.
-Frag fest in original Duke Nukem w/ levels my friend designed.
-Glide when original Unreal came out, that was OMG the first time I saw it.

Super Mario Brothers --> First game that ever hooked me. And I mean hooked.
Tie Fighter --> I played hookie from school many a classes for this one.
Final Fantasy 2 SNES --> All the secret areas, being able to fly the airship anywhere. WOW.
Dragon Warrior Series NES --> Unbelievable. Truly, unbelievable.
Might and Magic: Worlds of Xeen --> Wow that was fun.
Dune 2 --> Need I say more?
Dune CD Version --> I called CompUSA everday for a month to see if they had gotten it in yet.
Baldurs Gate II --> Epic.
Zelda NES --> How much fun was that.
----
I'm sure there were others.. but man, those were some good memories right there. I'm only 23, but I feel old and miss those days right about now... sniff..

Hmmm so many memorable gaming moments, its hard to pick just one. Guess i'll start from the beginning.
1. Playing TMNT for the NES (the arcade one). Yeah it wasn't that great of a game but I remember me and my friend playing it until we got blisters on our thumbs. Btw that code you listed before (up up down down) is the Konami code.
2. Zelda - A Link to the Past. The ending made me cry
3. Castlevania 4 for the SNES. Wow that game looked so kickass for its time. And the music was just so fitting. The only game that ever topped this one was SOTN imo.
4. Super Mario Kart for the SNES. Wow, i've never cursed so much at a game before. Yes, it was that much fun/frustrating. But if i remember correctly, me and my friends were able to beat Rainbow road on 150cc (quite a feat!)
5. Playing Unreal for the first time on my friends new P2-400 w/128 ram and I brought over my Voodoo1. My god, just the first level scared the crap out of me. There was just so much mood, walking around your crashed spaceship. And then you finally escape and take a step outside and see the rising sun and that huge cliff where the waterfall is - I will never forget the beauty of that game. And who can forget the part where the lights turn out one by one and leave you to fight a Skaarj in the dark?
6. Metal Gear Solid for PSX. I don't own the game nor the system. But my friend brought them both over one day and beat the game in one sitting. It was like watching a movie with an awesome storyline. There were so many twists and turns in that game, truly amazing.
7. Half-Life. Played it in the dark when I first picked it up. Big mistake. The beginning of the game was so awesome, too bad by the end it turned into a jumping game.
8. Deus Ex - one of my top 3 favorite games. Another game that demonstrated that a good story can add so much more to a game, especially a FPS. And the gameplay was just great too.
9. Oh yeah, almost forgot Tie Fighter.

Me and my cousin were playing MvC2, I had BB Hood, Juggernaut, and Cable. I was upto 4 meters, he was playing a team that included Zangief...
*turns into iron Zangief*
<Me> What does that do?
<Him> Makes you more powerful
<Me> How long does it last?
<Him> Forever, but you can't block
*me glances over to see a look of "OH MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!"
*me pulls off a triple taking 80% of Zangeif's 75% life (meaning he's dead)
<Him> Crap.
Not really a moment, but when me and a couple friends managed to figure out how to take two places at once in the SNES game "Top Gear". Nothing like having the series clinched at the half way point (1+2+1+2+last+last is more points than 3+3+1+1)
