<strong>I recall one part of Max Payne that took me probably a dozen or more tries to complete - it was in a big parking garage. I had to go around a corner, kill five guys, heal myself slightly with one painkiller before killing four more guys. This without being able to take more than one hit and without running out of ammo on my Ingrams.
Crashing a fire engine into the front door of my office in The Getaway, then getting out and shooting the living doodads out of the building. Then doing much the same to many of the clients that I dislike...
Some kind of racing game for DOS on an 1989 portable bondwell computer (four shades of grey. Yehaa).
The game was really advanced since the physics was very real and you could build your own race track. I had done this and tried it out. I made a long jump that ended where on the top of a hill (an upgoing element meets and downgoing one). Suddenly I didn´t get any frames. It happened when the graphics was too advanced for CPU, so I waited. I could hear the motor spinning, but after twenty seconds I still didn´t get any frames. Strange. But just before I was to reboot the computer my car was crushed on the track.
I was eager to see what ha happened so I saw the replay (really advanced for that time). When my car had hit the track after the jump, the nose had gone directly upward and the car with it for what must be like 15 miles (the track had become very small below it), then it very gently flipped and it accelerated for the ground which it met at a speed of 1000 mph.
Really impressive bug and I still have the saved replay (incredible advanced for that time) on a 360 kb disk somewhere .
I was playing halo with 2 friends 2 on 1 me being the 1. They came flying at me in a warthog and I shot them with a rocket One of them came flying out and over my head and the jeep went over my head to it was great. The second guy died...
Halo. Me and 3 of my friends. We had it on a smaller multiplayer level (battle creek) and we were playing all rockets, every man for himself. I eventually won, but I managed to score the first-ever triple kill on my machine! I was so proud of myself. I think I killed two with one rocket, and the third about 2 seconds later, it was great. Funny thing is later in that same game someone else scored a triple kill as well.
Another great thing about halo is the "warthog jump" movie. Go see this if you haven't heard about it...
early 90's.. brother father and i sitting around the boob-tube playing the original and yet to be bested mariocart on snes... i am playing as princess toad stool, and my father as second player as toad... about thrity seconds into the race and my brother says that i have lapped toad, i look at the bottom of the screen and toad is rebounding off the wall repeatedly as if his accelerator is stuck, asking what my father was doing:
'I am princess toadstool, I am princess toadstool, I AM!'
Just recently in Marathon Infinity (who hoo Aleph one finally got internet support!!! Greatest thing in the world!!!)... beat my roommate in several net games, and he beat Jason Jones at a Macworld in Marathon. w00t!
Well amongst my countless Marathon conquests my favorite would be the total devastation I laid upon my foes in one match where I had 22 gruesome kills before I fell. I was like in a Michael Jordan "zone". I can still see the bodies disintegrating from my Missiles.
BTW, have you guys ever heard of Halo jousting? hehe... Two players ram into eachother as fast as they can with a tank, warthog, ghost, etc, and then when you crash only ONE of you gets flung up into the air, randomly........then you run him over. So many hours spent with my friends on this one....

OMG we used to do the same thing :eek: . Thing is we called it "hog-wars".
New games on GC, XBox, heck even N64 don't compare to Super Nintendo. That had to be the best darn system ever created. :cool:
FIFA Soccer 2002, I was just learning. Finally I thought I had gotten the hang of it, game goes into sudden death OT and I score on my own damn self. I was laughing for a while.... I suck at video games.
My favorite gaming moment was when my friends and I were just getting into LAN parties and threw a huge one. We all loved Total Annihilation and had the game, every third party map, unit, mod, and everything else you can imagine.
We had this game that lasted about 6 hours straight. I mean we had nukes and anti-nukes, hundreds of units apiece all being flung into battle after battle all trying to gain inches. We had 4 on 4 teams with full sharing of resources. It was just amazing.
<strong>lol same thing happened to me once in a game of SC, only i had a machine shop left. i built a shit load of tanks, then sieged them all, and flew my shop over his base. 20 tanks opened fire at once. totally wiped that sucker out before i got mauled.
it's a one trick pony unfortunately.</strong><hr></blockquote>
In War3 there's a beautiful unit called the Steam Tank. They alone make up for any human inadequacies. Send 5 or 6 in as a one way mission. . . . They can usually raze just about any town to the ground without escort.
(Disclaimer: Some of you younger folks here may not understand the following statements, as you were too young to remember what is being talked about. Proceed with interest in history.)
Burnout 2: The first time you play, so much better than the orginal, faster, and generally great fun, had a riot racing with other friends, 6 minute race, I was 1 minute ahead of anyone else. One of the view racing games that don't get boring quickly.
Total Annihilation on the Mac, great game. 1v1 game, my opponent attacked me with 300 units, such as tanks, mechs etc, he found one weak part of my base. I was building Krogoth at the time (massively destructive mechs) I crushed his attack with 5 units! The I played my typical counter attack... LOVELY.

Well, a long time, anyways...
One of my friends won four player Rock and Roll Racing games on the SNES using his feet.
In a Total Annihilation match my opponent built his commander a 3x3 castle using the defensive wall. It was in range of my artillery

Tanks rule
Contra for the original Nintendo:
Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A-B-A-Start
The best feeling was getting the 30 guys, but making it ALL the way through the game with only one. I think I did it three times.
Feeling the thrill of victory as the helicopter flew away from the exploding island...ah, the memories.
