Best Ever Videogame Moments

Further discredit for the noble profession of market research as "nuking your first lemming" comes top of a poll of 'best videogame moments' - "completing Tetris" came second, odd since you cannot do it.

Any better suggestions?

(Thanks to John M for this timewasting story)

Making it look like Mario was flying by timing successive jumps just right in Donkey Kong Game & Watch. Has infected my dream life ever since
Finishing primitive Defender rip off on Spectrum (forget name) to be greeted with fireworks and 'CONGRATURATION YOU SUCCESS' message. (early All Your Base moment)
Making it look like a whore is giving you a blowjob in Grand Theft Auto 3.

The Defender rip-off was the hilariously-named "Penetrator" from Melbourne House.

Winning the battle with The Transcendant One in "Planescape: Torment".

The appearance of the T-Rex in the original "Tomb Raider".

The final battle of "Baldur's Gate II: Throne Of Bhaal".

Others will be listed as I think of them.

Penetrator = SCRAMBLE ripoff.

Will this appear in a Channel 4 3-hour remember-how-a-thon with links by Shigeru Myamoto? Mine would be:

t-rex in 3d monster maze (obligatory mention)
Blowing up the Death Star in the original vector arcade game.

I fear Alan may be correct in his pedantry.

Every damn thing about NINJA GAIDEN (on the NES). The cutscenes floored me. Plus actually killing the boss @ the end of the game was a task bordering on the Phyrrhic (sic).

― David Raposa, Tuesday, 12 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dan... Torment has three different endings, y'know, each with different cool movies. That game is mad cool in terms of plot and payoff.

Tom: tetris for gameboy could be completed on the "B" setting and you got this penguin and a space shuttle and other weird things.

Remember the first time you played mario one and went down that tube and were like... damn there's just coins all over this room! That was a great moment.

Destroying a Tiger with an armour piercing round from my T34/85 at a distance of 1500 metres last night was pretty cool on Panzer Front, I had to go round the side of him cos his front armour is too thick.

I think I may be developing an unhealthy tank-based obsession.

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 12 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The multiplayer mayhem of 8-bit beat-em-up, Target: Renegade. Amazingly, caused a bit of a furore in the media for featuring *shock horror*, red blood. A hasty piece of reprogramming changed the red blood to green, thus saving the hearts and minds of a nation's youth. Rebellious programmers secretly preserved the red blood feature, accessible only by a cheat.

Ah, the eighties. Such innocence.

Beating the first boss in Super Mario Bros. I actually thought I had beaten the game! If I ever beat the "King" in Virtua Tennis I may have a new answer. My pinball moments are far more satisying, however.

Oh believe me, I KNOW. That game just blew my mind all the way around.

Another great thing from that game; switching from fighter to thief to mage and back, eventually becoming frighteningly bad-ass at all of them. Also, the conversation with the old witch in her weird lair was out-of-control cool.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 12 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

pah. When you find the black red-cross box in DOOM, and yr gun is replaced with a knuckle-dustered fist, & you punch one of the ev0l soldiers - splaaaat! Alternatively, when the monsters turn on each other in quake, that always makes me laugh. Getting little lara to do the swallow dive into the pool in tomb raider was k-k3wl too (me=easily pleased)

My favorite video game moment is at the end of the Double Dragon video game where the two heroes, after vanquishing the last boss, have to fight each other to win the girl. Red Guy bashes Blue Guy with Lead Pipe in DD Shocker!! sadly, that plot point was left out of the movie with Scott Wolf as, um, Blue Guy?

― dave k, Tuesday, 12 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ascending in NetHack would be by far the coolest thing ever, assuming I could ever actually do it.

Some of the great lines from Grim Fandango make for hilarity: "Run you pigeons, it's Robert Frost!", "It's the mug rack... at the end of the world!", "Say hello Mr. Rag" ("hello Mr. Rag!").

The first time you get Cool on Parappa the Rapper, and you get to go off on some herky-jerky freestyle shit. Yeah.

The Fatality.

Getting the scrolling message GOOD ZAPPING TURKEY! after finally finishing Uridium . Which may be my greatest achievement as a gamer, save some goals with Fifa 99/2000 (esp. that old-skool endless passing attack ending in a unstoppable Johnny Rep shot with Holland '74).

― Omar, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

In Tomb Raider, I think the first one, where Lara is inside some building with lots of stairs and platforms with a bottomless drop to the sides and making Lara do a dive into the abyss.

― alix, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sterling: You're right about that flashkick; freakin' impossible to play someone half-decent and use that as a viable move.

That's why I always plumped for Ryu: perfectly balanced.

Best Gaming Moments:

- Shoo-ryu-ken (Ryu's Dragon Punch) - Haa-do-ken (Ryu's Fireball)

Poetry.

― powertonevolume, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I bloody hate Ryu, he was such a goody goody with his fireballs (oh they're hard to dodge) and that dragon punch - yeah right!!! Punch your way away from ME you bastard. Now Chun-Li, she managed to kick some arse. I prefer the MONSTER BLOKE - what was his name?? BLANKA, yes, he was entertaining with his electric shock ways. Also the EVIL BLOKE (Russian!?) was lots of fun with his glowy punches and and and AND he had a CAPE!!!!!

― Sarah, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dhalsim and Blanka were THE ANSWER in SFII.

That would be the mysterious M. Bison.

Zangeif the wrestler was the Russian guy. I don't think M. Bison had an ethnicity.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

M. Bison was Middle Eastern, I think - his background featured some sort of Bhuddist monastary (?) with a big bell (?) and stuff.

Props to Chun Li for having the simplest, most powerful move - keep pressing KICK, yeah!

― David Raposa, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

M Bison was just a mystery man, the final fight was in Thailand but I don't think he was supposed to be from there.
I totally lost interest in SF2 when Mortal Kombat 2 came out, that was way more fun, especially with all those weird friendship/'babality'/'animality' moves that were INCREDIBLY difficult to do.

― DG, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

From "Nope, those machines weren't defective and you weren't seeing things. The truth is that Capcom decided to switch around the names of the bosses when they released the game in North America. In the Japanese original, M. Bison was really the name of the boxing character, which was a caricature of Mike Tyson. A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet, right, but Capcom was concerned about causing a stink. This solves another mystery about the "M" in "M. Bison," because it originally stood for Mike.

"So, with the switcheroo that transformed M. Bison into Balrog, the Spaniard Balrog became Vega, and the Vega in the Japanese version became the infamous final boss M. Bison that we all know and love (beating up, that is). Sagat remained Sagat. "

― Phil, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(Oh, crap. Moderator, delete that?)

From "A boss by any other name":

"Of course, nothing could beat the feeling of beating up one of the bosses, the infamous rogue's gallery composed of Balrog, Vega, Sagat and M. Bison. But do you remember scratching your heads in wonder because some arcade machines apparently messed up the names of the bosses? Everyone knew the high-flying Spaniard with the nifty claw was named Vega, but in some machines he was called Balrog, while Balrog the boxing character was called M. Bison! What gives? A glitch or did someone drink too much sake?

To answer the question, by the way, I'd nominate Level 3 of the Color Computer 3 game "Dungeons of Daggorath". There are scorpions all around that can kill you with one blow, but you can't see them until they're right next to you because you can't use the Solar Torch yet. Meanwhile, you're running like hell from the Wizard's Image, and your character's heart is pounding. It's pretty nerve-wracking.

― Phil, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

two years pass...

In Chrono Trigger when you first battle Magus. Oh my god. I can't even begin to decsribe how emotional I get when I get to that part of the game. The music is so great.

Sorry to go all non-retro but:

In Halo when the Flood first appear and there are those creepy Aliens ripoff cut-scenes and then the whole game does a sort of backflip because having become adept and lets face it probably a little cocky at fighting Covenant over the previous levels suddenly there are spores everywhere and zombie-things and you are shitting yourself and you get killed out of sheer panic straightaway......wow.

There's a moment in "Medal of Honor: Allied Assault" where your character finally battles his way to a room where he's greeted by a trim brunette. I, a gentleman, holstered my gun in deference to the situation. She says "there's no use for your gun here, it makes too much noise!" and your character immediately DRAWS his silenced pistol in her face! Cut to loading screen.

One of my favourite 8-bit games was a slightly bizarre 2-d hunt-the-objects thing called Starquake. And, one of the best - and strangest - bits, was that if you selected "quit" from the main menu, it would display a picture of an octopus in a space suit for a few seconds, with the message "Say goodbye to Olly!", before resetting the computer.

it did? this almost - almost - makes me consider firing up the iMac, where Fuse lives, to check. was this the spectrum version?

i think my single favourite gaming moment ever was seeing this:

http://www.bhlegend.com/screenshots/Spectrum%20Jet%20Set%20Willy%20Screenshot%2001prev.gif

simply because my mate's copy somehow didn't have the little protection card thing, and rather than go back to the shop and ask for it, we spent most of an afternoon guessing at colour codes, reloading, guessing, reloading ... until suddenly, with odds of ... it can't be as low as 256 to 1, surely? ... we got in.

of course, we ended up in the attic on the first go. and you know what that meant ...

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 00:03 (nineteen years ago)

Grimly, that's genius! Turning copy protection into part of the game.

I used to draw those cards out with felt pens. It would take hours but I'd get to steal the game and so worth it.

Actually my Amiga version of Elite was a non-cracked copy that asked for a word from the manual when you loaded it. I would keep re-booting until the word was 'TEH'.

No, the Amstrad one.

I was so pleased when I finally managed to win on Starquake. I can still remember most of the useful teleporter names.

Nah, cheops wasn't a teleporter, it was the little object-swapping pyramid things that you could only use if you had an access card. The teleporters were all five letters:

1988. After having staying home ill with mono for several days I booted up the family "personal computer" (with the cruddy orange monitor) to play a game of centipede. I proceed to blow away all previous scores. By the time I was done the entire family had returned home from school/work and were cheering me on. Lamest "best video game moment" ever but it's the one that sticks out most for me.

I have to say, the slow-mo jumping in Everything or Nothing on the cube. It's James Bond meets Max Payne. Quite a solid game. Piercing the butt, anyone?

Also: ICO, the entire game. Grande classique, as the French wouldn't say.
