good pick. that was def. a "what have i gotten myself into" moment, even before you start playing. i really should get back to playing that game.

here are some more obvious and a couple of not-so-obvious picks:

- the first time i played the SNES mario kart's rainbow road was prob. a similar WTF moment.

- the first time you cross the bridge in FF1 was a great moment, as was the apocalypse at the end of the first half of FF6.

- the first time you see phendrana drifts in metroid prime.

- the part in ico where the kid is suddenly on his own, and then the part where he's back in that crypt room and you realize ... ... ... it's a brilliantly chilling moment. if you've played it you prob. know what i mean. here's a video of it if you've forgotten: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3mcpar0ApE. the epilogue was also great.

- the last level of ghosts 'n goblins w/ all the bosses in a row was less of a WTF moment and more of a F---- YOU, CAPCOM moment.

- when you hear the chainsaw in RE4 and also when the town bell rings and the town square suddenly clears.

- the first time you go back in time in marjora's mask was also great.

and not really "Oh #@$%!" moments, but two more really memorable moments for me are:

- the first time you play wii sports, specifically swing the tennis racket, was great.

- the first time you do the hula hoop move in warioware smooth moves was great. that and moving the elephant trunk to put apples into a basket. ;)

That same afternoon the N64 was sat under my TV with a brand new copy of Mario 64 in it. Absolutely amazing. I feel sorry for anybody getting into gaming these days. They will never ever have that first experience of true revolutionary 3D freedom in a game. They all take it for granted now. Poor souls.


So true. My N64 came with Mario Kart 64, and my brother and my own jaws both hit the floor when we saw the initial Nintendo logo.

- The ending in RE4... the Ada Wong stuff. Actually, anything with Ada Wong was always amazing and holy wtf. I played the games a bit out of order honestly and it was really awesome seeing some notes about her in the labs of RE1. Honestly I'd say those were some crazy cool moments as well... the mansion is so huge and you just don't expect to end up in crazy sci-fi like facilities in both RE1-RE2, I loved it. It's silly but when I was playing RE2 I couldn't help but think it felt a little like Metroid, haha. You just kept going deeper and deeper underground, the atmosphere was so amazing.

Out of this World was pretty much WTF, considering it's French-developed it's par for the course.

The MGS2 ending was the biggest mindfeck of them all I think. Pretty hard to top.

The underground labs in the first two STALKER games. RE4 is child's play compared to them. (I don't know about you people there was nothing horrifying about that game, except its pace)

The first 1-2 hours of Doom 3, then it became pretty samey.

A few select moments with Seaman

The first encounter with a Strider in HL2.

Those shadow baby things in Silent Hill.

Playing Final Fantasy 7 for 8 hours straight while running a fever of 104F and being stoned on cough medicine. I had some really weird dreams afterwards.
