Sev lists his top 10 memorable moments
This is gaming, there are so many memorable moments, which is why we keep coming back.
I started gaming with Atari, then NES, and since then I have owned every major console to be released other than the Xbox 360. So needless to say I have countless memorable moments.
Here are 10 moments that really stand out…
Beating Emerald & Ruby Weapon was an accomplishment I would never forget

OMG the wait is almost over, MGS4 is finally here. This is my final mission

Realizing you were Dracula all along...

Kefka in his multi tier form

Seeing my mother play Wii Sports Boxing, and realizing Nintendo actually made gaming accessible to everyone.

Not just Double Dragon, but any of the old 2 player games, Streets of Rage, Battletoads, etc. Gaming with my brother is one of my favorite gaming memories

The Konami Code, Mortal Kombat Blood Code, Code to fight Mike Tyson in Punch Out, among many others.

Moving my controller across the floor, reading my memory card = priceless

Barry: What is this? Thats Sev becoming a lifelong PlayStation fan

A young Sev walks into the local arcade looking for Street Fighter II... Its been replaced by Mortal Kombat? I lost to the CPU and Sub-Zero proceeded to tear my head off my shoulders.

Lol, Sub-Zero always got the best of me in the early days
July 31st, 2008 at 3:47 PM
Nice …

Ever play “Battletoads & Double Dragon” – it will melt your face.
Also, I remember playing all kinds of weird games with my brothers like Snake, Rattle & Roll.
July 31st, 2008 at 4:07 PM
Double Dragon! Those were the days!
July 31st, 2008 at 5:27 PM
Moving my controller across the floor in 2008= Bringing priceless memories back! Go MGS4! The rumble is back!
July 31st, 2008 at 7:12 PM
The Konami Code… ahhh, 8-bit Contra. That would make for another good remake, like Bionic Commando Rearmed.
July 31st, 2008 at 7:28 PM
I like the PS3 a lot!

Who invited nick here?
Nick, we are all PS fans but that kind of post/attitude doesn’t help the cause, brother. Plus it’s not really related to the post. Watch out or you will be marked as a SPAMMER.
July 31st, 2008 at 7:52 PM
Contra,Battletoads,Ninja Turtles, and Double Dragon. If not for those moments in gaming history taken with my brothers and friends. I would not be a gamer. Great read sev. Damn great read.
July 31st, 2008 at 7:57 PM
umm nick..
NO.
okay?
lol im still a young gamer so i havent experienced most of these.. i was born into a gaming family and ps1 was the 1st system i touched ‘96
but i got told never to touch it again
July 31st, 2008 at 7:58 PM
@Nick
Don’t be a fanboy, that’s never good. Every console is out there for a reason. While the 360 has a problem hardware wise, they have a hell of a library behind them. Which is the reason I own one along with my PS3.
July 31st, 2008 at 7:59 PM
and as you can see people like these kinds of post.. for the things i saw (MGS4 one and the Wii sports one, i felt those memorable moments to
July 31st, 2008 at 8:19 PM
My most favorite moment is still PONG!
My mother was quite high tech, but our family didn’t had much money. Yet, we found pong under the Christmas tree. One zillions hours played. Dang, never made so many friends that year ; )
July 31st, 2008 at 8:51 PM
Ugh…Spoilers!! I’m playing Final Fantasy VI for the first time and am enjoying it a lot.
Don’t worry, I don’t mind boss spoilers like that. I usually read ahead in the strategy guides anyway to see what kind of bosses I’m going to have to face.
July 31st, 2008 at 9:22 PM
Wish you would add the EVO 2004 Justin vs Daigo Street Fighter moment as a honorable mention , if im allowed to post youtube link, here it is.

Well its my sweet gaming moment nr1
July 31st, 2008 at 9:24 PM
Glericus, these are personal favorites lists. They’re not open to additions or changes.
=)
July 31st, 2008 at 9:46 PM
Emerald and Ruby weapon… oh so satisfying to defeat them. I’m so sad that my 3rd party memory card took a $#!t on me and lost all of my lvl 99 characters… I’ve never touched FF7 since
July 31st, 2008 at 9:48 PM
Yeah, i remember streets of rage back in the day, the way the baddies would fly in the air in a perfect horizontal line.
I loved playing it with my brother, and the boss’ were ridiculous, remember the mafia guy at the end? Great stuff.
July 31st, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Good moments all around. My personal favorite was finally beating Mike Tyson in Punch Out!! It took countless retrys and a new remote(don’t ask), but it was worth it. I even grabbed my mothers camera and snapped a picture just to have proof to show my friends lol.
July 31st, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Store is updated.
July 31st, 2008 at 11:04 PM
wow, you beat emerald and ruby?
you have now earned my complete respect as a gamer.
That is an accomplishment indeed.
I just have up after 20 + hours of leveling up materia.

stupid keyboard
July 31st, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Playing God of WAR for the first time amazed me how good a ps2 game could be
August 1st, 2008 at 2:18 AM
Giacomito,
I have 100% completion in every Final Fantasy I ever played. But I skipped FFIX, and XII
If I LOVE a game, I play the crap out of it.
Like with MGS4, I just had to get the Big Boss Emblem.
August 1st, 2008 at 4:00 AM
@sev1512
FFIX and XII were two of my favorites out of all of the Final Fantasy games. The stories in both games were amazing. You should give them a shot if you ever get the chance.
In fact, I’m going to have to revisit IX once I finish VI. It’s been over four years since I’ve played it and is sure to bring back memories.
August 1st, 2008 at 12:06 PM
My top ten:1.The end of Shadow of the Colossus.2.when I played as Kratos his awesomeness as a character and his personality.3.Super mario bros.4.The legend of Zelda experience.5.When I played Resident Evil on an arcade machine in Italy.6.When I played Monster Hunter online.7.Okami.9.The first Crash Bandicoot on ps1.10.Ive become an playstation fan because of the variety of games and the courage to produce new ideas,abstract things/experiments like Ico,SotC(ps2),Linger in shadows,Flower,africa….
August 1st, 2008 at 12:08 PM
But cant wait for Linger in shadows When I saw it the first time I was left speechless.I hope that Santa Monica makes more interactive gaming art like Linger in shadows in the future.
August 1st, 2008 at 12:13 PM
Sometimes Im worried about Sonys PS3 for some reasons.But my brother says dont underrestimate SONY.Dont worry Sony strikes back.
August 1st, 2008 at 3:07 PM
I remember finally beating Super Mario Bros as a kid. It was one of the best days of my life!!!
August 1st, 2008 at 3:12 PM
It’s sad when you start talking about Mortal Kombat with a 12 year old and they ask “What’s that?” Good to see I’m not the only one who isn’t getting old and still remembering great gaming moments.
August 1st, 2008 at 5:39 PM

August 1st, 2008 at 6:51 PM
