What are your Best and Worst Video Game Moments???
Tom Hayes
if I may say so myself. What is one moment in your life of playing video games
are you most proud of ? What is that one shining moment in your life of video
games that you could look back on and say "Wow I can't believed I did that"? I
am sure we all have our stories. The best stories, however, are the ones that
we can really relate to, leaving us with that satisfied feeling. Please share
with us those stories, and perhaps even your worst video gaming moments. After
all you can't just take all the good with out any of the bad. ( Be nice as hell
if we could though ) So if you have 5 minutes to spare, please don't hesitate
to leave a story or 2. Thank you for your time.
My best gaming moment:
The day I got my best on score on Mr.Do! the arcade game, it was 595,630. Boy
did that leave me entirely satisfied.
My worst gaming moment:
The day I rented Superman 64, oh geez I just get nausea thinking of that. That
game, I most say is really bad.

of all people. Then all the crazy rumors of resurrecting her on the 'net. It's
still kind of funny that she gets killed from being impaled, yet when she gets
crushed by a giant living house, she loses 36 HP.
Worst Moment: Playing Darkstalkers 3 on medium difficulty. Shit, that game is like
the hardest fighting game I've ever played. Both my hands were sore from button
smashing and I almost cried :(

Best: Beating Ninja Gaiden for the NES (it took me weeks.) It got tough in the
later stages, but it always kept me coming back for more. Great music, and cool
ending.
Worst: A buddy of mine and I stayed up all night in college, looking for the
infamous pink puffs in FF2. We each had a TV and a SNES hooked up in the same room,
and we just hoped that ONE of us would be able to #1 encounter some and #2 be able
to beat them and get the super item they had (sad that I can't remember...) We
stayed up all night, running from the normal battles, walking back and forth in the
final dungeon. We each had one encounter with the puffs, and BOTH of us
accidentally ran away, having been conditioned to run after encountering 1200
useless monsters. And then we both had to work 8-5 the next day with no sleep and
nothing to show for our efforts. Ugh.

Rise of the Dragon,sega cd...Figuring out the code to the safe in (?'s)
house,turned out to be the last 4 digits of the guys phone number,and
the last 2 of his address from his file.
Dragonforce,saturn,any one of the countless times,i went into a battle
with less men then i should have,and won.
Shining the Holy Ark,remember the "statues to jewels" puzzle? you had
to divide 7 jewels between two statues,and the clues were like "Ruby is
worth a sapphire & emarald,it was,and still is the onl time i've ever
needed algebra out of school,let-alone in a game,and btw,i solved it 40%
algebraicly,60% by luck,lol
Virtua Fighter,saturn...dont hit the arcades much,and i found the ring
out feature a lot of fun,especially against a friend,nothing is better
than being near death,then kncking a near healthy opponent out of the
ring for a cheap win,lol
Virtua Cop(1&2),saturn...these games were so much fun,shooting "John
Woo-style" with both stunners,shooting the bad guys in the knee,and then
they actually clutch their knee,better yet,the groin-shots,lol,and whats
better than purposely capping a few of the hostages/innocents.
Worst...Plenty of games suck,but i put what i found frustrating
Dragons Lair,sega cd,i had a hard time with this,and barely played 5
minutes into the game cause i was so frustrated at the press r,l,l,r,etc
memory-type game this was.(QuickTimeEvent),hopefully,that was just
because i was young,because that is the type of game shenmue is.
Suidoken,psx this one's a mystery to me,i go and meet the liberation
armyin the sewer,and they all freeze up on me,i could walk around and
leave but i had to talk with them to advance the game,so,i brought it
back,got another one,and same thing happened.
And the the absolute worst has likely happened to everyone whos ever
played on a cd based system,you're playing the game,and it freezes on
you,wasting from minutes,to hours of time.

My best moment would have to be beating Black Tiger in the arcades, with
only one man. Too bad only one other person in the arcade saw that though,
cause it was always fun to get the high score, and then realize that there
were a dozen people watching my achievement when I turned to walk away.
The worst time I had was with an import game I rented for the NES,
labelled "Super Mario 5". The clerk assured me that it was a new game, just
released in Japan. So I paid for it and brought it home, only to find it
was a clone of the first game (which came with my NES) called Mary Mary
Sisters, and that the adapter garbled up the graphics so bad as to make the
game completely unplayable. So an hour after I paid for the game, I was
back at the store with the game and video tape of the game footage. The
clerk denied ever saying anything about the game, and told me that all of
the VCRs in the store (for seeing my tape) weren't working. A letter to
their head office came back months later telling me of what a wonderful job
their staff do of looking for games, that none of them can be responsible
for what their customers pay for, and told me of the famous latin phrase
"caveat emptor" or "let the buyer beware".

between two, (1)going to the arcades after beating Strider for Genesis on
the hardest setting, so many times I was bored with it, and beating the
arcade version with one token. (2) Renting Streets of Rage 2 and calling my
friend over, all the while freaking out over the then insane amount of depth
for a beat-em up game.
Worst: Selling all ten of my classic Sega Master System games for less than
$20, for gas money after losing my job because of the recovery time after a
major surgery.
Solid Snake
Rd Ninja69
it for about a year. Try playing this game from start to finish without a hint
book, it's insanely difficult.
worst/funniest moment: Me and my friend were playing ready 2 rumble after the
second day i got it. We were training a couple boxers up to 100% everything
for a few hours and my other friends were playing ping pong at the other side
of the room. Miracalously the ball traveled 30 feet around a wall over a table
onto the ground and landed on the power button of the dc turning it off...We
were pissed...but after the initial anger we appreciated the shot.
Dilpimp
I don't know if these are THE best, but some fun ones:
1.) Going all the way thru ToeJam and Earl with no cheats!!!!!!
2.) Kicking Mike Tyson's ass in Punch Out
3.) Road Rash - getting hit by a car, then smacking into another car, then
tripping over some roadside obsticles and then smacking into a
cactus...and then getting hit again after getting up to get my bike back.
That was FUN!
WORST:
1.) Finishing NES Karnov only to have it congratulate me in Japlish.
2.) Playing Kid Chameleon for like 6 hours straight and getting stuck in
a wall and having to reset!!!
3.) Having to play a single game of SNES Zoop for 8 hours staight while
bugtesting (well, Iwas getting paid, so it wasn't THAT bad!)

> What are your Best and Worst Video Game Moments???
Best Gaming Moment:
When I inserted Persona 2: Innocent Sin into my Playstation
for the very first time! The tense anticipation, the awesome
power, and the 90 hours I spent reaching the ending were
my greatest moments in gaming... EVER.
Worst Gaming Moment:
(An RPG Player's Nightmare)
As my sister looked on, the Dragon Lord swiftly brought
my long journey to a close (It took me literally years to
finally face him). My sister calmly said: "Go back to that guy,
let me fight him." I chuckled. "Sure. Go ahead and try."
I had played the game YEARS... And she never played...
There was no WAY she could beat him... No WAY!
I trekked through the dungeon and faced the dark wizard of
the Dragons... I handed her the controller... and she
beat him...
Years... YEARS of my blood, sweat and tears... so my SISTER
could slay the Dragon Lord as I watched in disbelief. Dragon
Warrior was my first RPG... It was my first chance at beating
an RPG... And I blew it as my sister walked away the victor,
and me, a shattered soldier with no glory to claim...

My best: When I was little, my uncle loaned my family a Missile Command
machine he'd purchased a while back. Of course, I was thrilled; sure, I
could have gotten Missile Command for the 2600 or Intellivision, but this
was an arcade cabinet, it was AWESOME! What impressed me though, was that
my uncle was really good-- so good, in fact, that he could 'flip over' the
game, resetting the original sequence of colors used in the stages. (The
skill level kept getting higher, though.) I played a few games head to
head with him, and he destroyed me.
After six months of practicing almost every day, I played him again. And
I beat him. I beat his high score. By nearly TRIPLE. I could flip over
the game twice. :-)
My worst: Playing and enjoying Rygar immensely-- until I reached the
final boss, who I just couldn't beat. I ended up shutting the machine off
in frustration, and never finished the game. I even tried it again with
an emulator a couple of years ago-- no go, I just can't do it.

Playing Crash N Burn (which was included with my $700 3DO). I was having a
great time playing it but then realized this was because I had just spent
$700 on it...If you spend that much on a game you BETTER love it.
This is when it became my worst gaming moment.

Dj Duodenum
Hmm...So many memories....
Best:
-Beating Gunstar on regular diff without dying
-Beating Mania diff in SOR2 with regular # of continues
-Finally clearing the extra dungeons in Grandia (SS), esp the crazy long one where
you fight multiple bosses one after another at the end. I always called this one
the pyramid, but it may have been the warrior's tomb (or something).
-Finishing PS2 (Gen) with my friends after months of on/off playing
-Finishing Smash TV (SNES) over and over with my friend, having it speed up after
the first time, and finally quitting voluntarily 'cause our eyes were burning :-)
-Watching my pal smoke Bionic Commando and reeling at the usage of mild profanity
in the ending. Didn't the ultimate baddy's head explode too?
-Beating the Super Shinobi (used the old pull out the cart/replace with something
else trick to get the Japan ver) for the first time, and seeing the added segment
of the ending where the credits scrolled.
-Seeing Rambo III (Gen) freeze when I purposefully lured mass enemies into one spot
and dropped insane amouts of timebombs. Man, I loved that game.... The haunting
steel drum.....
Worst:
- My SSFII (Gen) obsession. I was set on beating the game on 8 stars without
losing a round. Invariably, I'd get cheesed by DJ's low sliding roundhouse.
Finally, I pulled the win out of my ass :-) No real reward, tho.... Strangely, I
went back for more soon after and was frustrated all over again. DJ was the final
"regular" opponent before the bosses, and he ruined my perfect round record with
the same damn kick. The loss, combined with his garbled win taunt, was too much for
me. I tore the cart out of the Genny and smashed it with a weight. Luckily, that
cart was a dime a dozen in the days of Capcom's prodigious overproduction.
-Forgetting to open the chest on the roof of the aforementioned most difficult
extra dungeon in Grandia. Oh well.
-Playing Friday the 13th on the NES, and, even in my youthful innocence, realizing
that not all games are created equal. In fact, some are utter crap.
Lots more, but I'm rambling....
Chad Faber
Atari 2600:
Best - River Raid and Pitfall; no major accomplishments here, just playing
them was a joy at my young age.
Worst - Pacman; very disappointed. Even as a youngster I could see it was
less than arcade perfert.
Early 80s Arcade:
Best - Beating all levels of Star Wars Arcade. No better feeling for an 8
year old than to hear Obi-Wan say, "The Force will be with you, always" as
the Death Star explodes.
Worst - Making it to the last mine car level in Indiana Jones and the Temple
of Doom (before the bridge) and have my sister distract me with, "Chad, its
time to go!"
C64:
Best - Being the Thornapple Drive World Champion in Boppin Wrestle. Shooting
the little kid in Law of the West after he smarted off to me, then capping
his mom for getting mad at me for shooting her kid.
Worst - Any wrestling game that tried to compete with Boppin Wrestle.
NES:
Best - Actually getting the unit in 1987 was good enough for me! Also,
beating my friend's copy of Metroid before he could while I was home sick
from school, recording it on my VCR and bringing it in for him to watch the
next day. Ahhh..grade school. Also, renting MegaMan2 before it was widely
available in stores and beating it in one night, as well as renting and
beating Rygar, Metal Gear and Bionic Commando all in one night as well.
Making it to Mike Tyson without the code and finally beating him. Finally,
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start.
Worst - After school walking to the video store to see that Bases Loaded was
finally in! But, it was a weekday, and I was only allowed to rent games on
weekends, so it wouldn't interfer with my homework. I rented it anyway, got
caught and had my NES taken away for a week. Oh the tourture!!
Mid/Late 80s Early 90s Arcade:
Best - Beating Double Dragon. Playing Gauntlet with three other friends for
hours. Playing WWF WrestleFest with two friends as we ganged up on the forth
stranger in the Royal Rumble mode
Worst - The closing of many major arcades in my area. :(
Gensis:
Best - Winning a drawing in high school which gave me the necessary cash to
buy a Gensis. Playing EA NHL Hockey and Sega Sports Talk Joe Montana
Football '93. Staying up all night my first night in college playing Shining
Force with my roommate. Beating my friends at Mortal Kombat 1 while drunk
and with my eyes closed.
Worst - nothing bad about the Gensis.
SNES:
Best - Beating Super Metroid.
Worst - Buying Killer Instinct
Playstation:
Best - Receiving my first credit card with a limit of $600, allowing me to
buy a PSX. Beating Resident Evil while having the crap scared out of me.
Playing Tomb Raider and getting a sense of vertigo while playing it. Playing
all the way through Metal Gear Solid. Playing all the way through Soul
Reaver.
Worst - Buying FF7 only to have my Playstation lock up before the end of the
first disc. Sure Sony, there's no problems with those first generation
machines.
Saturn:
Best - Virtua Cop 1&2. Beating Dragon Force and NiGHTS.
Worst - Selling it so I could buy an N64 (NOTE: recently bought back entire
package for under $50! :D)
N64:
Best - Foreseeing a price drop to $199, selling my Saturn, buying an N64
before the price drop, which would make them impossible to find. Having the
price drop in the next 5 days and getting $50 back to buy Wave Race 64. The
Thanksgiving weekend Zelda came out was a gamer's dream.
Worst - Having my roommate find all 120 stars before me in Mario 64 and
beating some of my times in Wave Race 64!!!!!
PC:
Best - Kicking ass on Network Doom at the CS computer labs. Kicking ass on
Internet Quake while working as a lab assistant at the MIS computer labs.
Worst - Not having the money to continously upgrade my computer everytime a
new generation of games come out.
Recent Arcade:
Best - Beating Star Wars Arcade Trilogy with one credit. Being King of Star
Wars Arcade Trilogy at the Cincinnati D&B and to hold 30 of the top 50
scores on the one machine. Also holding the high score at the Columbus D&B
on two machines, the high score at the Las Vegas Gameworks on two machiens
and the high score at the Maumee Showcase Cinemas.
Worst - To return to the Cincinnati D&B 6 months later to find out that most
of my high scores have been beaten; then at that moment announcing my
retirement at Star Wars Arcade Trilogy.
Dreamcast:
Best - 9.9.99. The day I bought a VGA adapter. Staying up all night
unlocking art work in Soul Calibur. Playing NFL2K, getting my butt-kicked,
and not caring because it looked so good. Recapturing that zeal for gaming
that I haven't had since the early days of the PSX (1996 - 1997).
Worst - Had to take Sonic back twice to get a working copy.
That's all, ;)
-Chad or
CCF (to that bastard that destroyed all of my records in Star Wars Arcade
Trilogy).
Steve Harvey
Best moments:
- Visiting my mom's cousin who had a (then cutting-edge) Intellivision
hooked up to a giant screen TV, staying up late playing Baseball,
Sea Battle, and Astrosmash.
- The sleepover during 6th grade where we stayed up all night and
found the hidden room in Atari 2600 "Adventure".
- Finishing the first set of levels on the "Scramble" machine at the
local grocery store. I was about 10-11 and this was my first
experience "beating" an arcade game.
- The Atari 800 lab in my junior high school, which was site of many
great afterschool games of Centipede, Canyon Climber, and MULE.
- Getting good enough at Street Fighter II and Eternal Champions (both
Genesis) that I could sk00l most of my friends pretty consistently.
- Losing many, many hours to internet play of "Quake", "Quake2", and
"Total Annihilation".
- Discovering MAME and other classic system emulators.
- Getting a Dreamcast and having Soul Calibur re-remind me of how much
fun face-to-face console gaming can be.
Worst moments:
- Getting thrown out of Sears by a store detective for kicking an
"Astro Blaster" machine after a bad game (at around age 10). My mom
was not amused.
- Getting my dad hooked on Madden '91 (Genesis), which resulted in him
playing it for hours on end with the volume turned way up. Those
half dozen sound bites do NOT age well, espescially when you're not
even the one playing.
- Countless SNES/Genesis era games which show great promise, but can
be beaten in about four hours.
- The frustration of knowing that no one platform will ever have all
the killer apps (i.e. my Atari 800 was the bomb, but it still didn't
run Wizardry; no Sonic on Nintendo or Mario on Genesis, etc.)
- Having progress in a game rudely halted due to decaying media (bad
sectors on a floppy disk), corrupted savefiles, system upgrades, and
soforth. This has happened more times than I care to remember.
MOGERUA
Getting Shenmue, bringing it home and starting it up immediately and being
immersed in a virtual, living world.
Worst-
Remember that I don't know any Japanese while I watch very interesting
cutscenes I can't understand (Doh!).
Isaac Kuo
My best moment: Getting an incredible lowest time on a friend's
N64 cart of San Fransisco Rush. The name I had entered was
"EEEEEEEEEEEEE". That high score is still on the cart, and
he'll NEVER bump off my near-perfect time.
My worst moment: Getting creamed in a (sort of) virtual reality
racing game by my girlfriend (she placed 1st, I placed last).
Actually, it was pretty good because she had lots of fun. :)

Talking trash to a few guys at school about my Street Fighter 2 prowess,
only bringing $0.50 to the arcade, and then beat on them for over an hour
on my only $0.50. :)

Getting to the very end of Super Star Wars (SNES) and having the plug fall

My memory is a bit foggy on this (I haven't played this since the X0mas
after Rygar came out), but bear with me-
First of all, the better you are, the harder the game gets, simply because
if you race through without dying, you will have conquered fewer opponents,
and will thus have lower stats. If you absolutely aren't getting anywhere
against the last boss, go slaughter monsters and buff your stats for a
while. It isn't exciting, but consider it to be a training montage, minus
the montage ;).
Secondly, make sure you reach the boss with your full complement of potions
(which was what, one?) and full spell energy (or whatever it was that
allowed you to heal yourself). That means crushing the enemies before the
final boss without getting hit. Run past those you can, only fight if
necessary.
Third, when you reach the boss, immediately play the flute (or whatever the
musical instrument was). This should make his giant snakes disappear. Run
over and triangle jump off of him (bounce off him) so you end up behind him.
Don't attack him until you are back there, because the second you hit him,
he gets his snakes back. Once you are behind him, keep hopping up and down
smashing him with your diskarmer as fast and as furiously as you can. Heal
when absolutely necessary. With a full quota of healing supplies and
respectable stats, you should be able to make it, though it may take a few
tries. The most painful thing, as I recall, was the trip to get potions,
then trek back through the floating citadel again each time you died. As I
said earlier, my memory is a little foggy (this game came out a loong time
ago) but I do remember beating it the day I got it. It was a marathon sessio
n, and naturally I had died many times, but my final stats were very high
(around 5000 or so) thus I had little trouble defeating the main boss. The
second time I beat it was a couple days later, and since I knew what I was
doing, I reached the final boss with stats of only around 1500-2000 (I
think)- comparatively much lower. It made beating the boss very trying. The
third time I knew better (about a month later), so I took my time
slaughtering and enjoying the various stages, thus I had respectable enough
stats to beat the final villain fairly handily. For it's time, the end
sequence was quite nice IIRC. Emphasis on 'for it's time'. I seem to recall
it ended with a giant open window looking over the saved kingdom.
JCKnife
Couple months after SFII for SNES came out, my best friend and I went halves
on it at Babbages, "just to see what all the hype was about." We played all
day until our thumbs were blistered; at the end of the day I couldn't bear
to part with it so I bought out his half.

-Sword Quest Fire World.
-My first PSX game skip experience.

Sir Lancealot
crazy long one where
you fight multiple bosses one after another at the end. I
always called this one
the pyramid, but it may have been the warrior's tomb (or
something).<<
Yeah, I loved playing Grandia (Saturn) and I also really enjoyed
beating up those multiple bosses at the end of the one you call
the pyramid...it was very tough but eventually I did it <g>T

2) Beating Out-Run for the Sega Master System
