Hi Members!

It is most certainly clear that most of you have been "Gamers" for a LONG time.Can anyone remember some of the awesome highlights that gaming has introduced into your lives?

For me,it was winning a small tournament(10-12 Contestants) that a local video rental place hosted to promote their business.One of the challenges was to see who can get the most points in "Super Mario Brothers 1"(nes)within the 20 minute time limit.Of course we all went for the big points you can score on the staircase at the end stage 3-1,I think,it's been so long since I played it,where you just repeatedly jump on the turtle for all the free men and the high score.

I managed to win,and won: A Pepsi Windbreaker(Like the good people that make Pepsi,care about some weenie tournament.All about the advertisement. :lol)
10 free movie rentals
And 1 voucher for "Brunch" at a pretty upscale Hotel/lounge.It didn't matter,I sold it to my mother for $10.Not a bad deal for her,the voucher was worth $20 or something.

God Bless,
Kaz

Amen!!!!
 
I can't really share what some have called my best moment of gaming... I'll just say it involved Starcraft.

I have had some great moments in Quake (Mega Team Fortress mod and deathmatch), Tekken, and Castlevania games as well...

Here was a nice Quake moment...

I was ]DW[Betrayer at the time. And yes, I killed four enemy opponents in one second.
 
In no real order at all.
- Picking up my first game, which just so happened to be Sonic the Hedgehog.
- Playing Perfect Dark, James Bond: Goldeneye, and MarioKart with all my friends and cousins. (I will never, ever forget those times)
- Finding the editors in Starcraft and Warcraft 3.
- Beating the Halo series on Legendary.
- Beating Perfect Dark on Perfect Agent.
- Sticking with the Soul Blade-Calibre series, as well as the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors series.
- Playing through various Resident Evil and Tomb Raider games with my dad.
- having the chance to play a bunch of different systems from different generations.
- The many multiplayer and LAN matches I've been able to play.
- The online matches played on Counter Strike.
- Back in my early childhood days, when I could pick up a game and find that even after a few months, I may not have been able to finish the final level, and then being able to go back to them later in life and play them again to see just how far I'd come.

Can't think of anything else.
 
What a cool idea for a thread. Now I have to think about some highlights.

1. Marathon all nighters with Legend of Zelda, a bag of cheetos, dr. pepper and my cousin.

2. FINALLY getting the perfect ending for Final Fantasy X-2 and
seeing Yuna get back together with Tidus.
You have no idea how hard I fought for this! :)

3. Playing Duck Hunt on my very first console with my sisters. Yes they cheated.

4. Racing my tricked out black chocobo 'Mearas' on Gold Saucer in FFVII. "Eat my dust chickens!!!!"

5. My paper sister and I crying over the ending of Crisis Core.

Mine were chosen I guess not for the accomplishment but for the fun moment that came with it. I love gaming. :D

Now THAT is living on the edge. :D
 
Oh God..I just remembered one.

It was Griff, my friend Patrick, and me. We were all playing Madden (I don't remember what year it was) and on the opening kickoff, Griff says "LET'S ALL GET IN THE MIDDLE! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!"....computer ran it around us for a touchdown. THANKS GRIFF! :lol

It doesn't seem like much, but it's the little funny moments like that, that make party gaming so worth it.
