Well after a long time playing games I would like to name a few moments and memories that I will cherise for the rest of my life, these range from all consoles and are all kinds of games:
In no order:
1) It was at the end of Secret of Mana on the Super Nintendo, my brother, my sister and me were playing at the end, and didn't expect the flammie dragon to be the final boss, it was an incredible final battle, with us talking to each other and helping each other charge up and defend, my character was near death, and my brother told me to charge up my weapon, so I did, he and my sister were defending and I had the only weapon that could hurt the dragon, it took about forty seconds to charge up and then I ran to the front and let out the attack at the same time as the dragon attacked me... we hit each other at the same time and my character died but the game was complete, this memory has stayed with me because I just can't remember a game that I have managed to complete and play through with two assistants.
2) In 1988 I recieved a Nes console with DuckHunt and a gun, it was a Japanese import and after a long time of my dad playing around getting it to work he managed, and I was glued to the game for about elevon hours without pause, I was three years old and this was the game that made me know that gaming was only starting....
3) In 1997 the Guiness Book of Records issused a challenge to all owners of a Super Nintendo and Mario Kart, it was to beat the time in the magazine and send it in, the time was on the original Mario Circuit in TIme Trial mode (no cheats apart from boost at start). I played it for over seven hours without a break, I was determind to beat it, I had two excellent laps and then ruined it on the last and new it would just be a matter of time... which it was because a few goes later I changed my character from DK to Bowser and smashed the time by two seconds, and my excitment was not contained I sent the time into Nintendo and companies to get theirs back and I beat the tester of the game at Nintendo and he was extremely impressed, it still remains my biggest achievement in video gaming, very close to the Goldeneye championships...
4) Last year I was sent an email by Nintendo (who were still probably impressed with my MK time) it was asking me to attend the UKCC in London and see how far I got in the Goldeneye qualifiers and then let them no, I was already quite good at Goldeneye and decided that practicing the game before going would have been a bad idea, I played it for four hours a week before going and that was it.... I went to the Posthouse Hotel in London and saw many many people who looked way too good, my moral was damaged when I was beaten in the practise session 0-1, I actually got quite annoyed and beat the stage one elimination person 7-0 in five minutes.... hours later I found myself being given the ranking of 12th best in the UK with my results of only one final defeat, (I mucked up by shooting the body armour onto him when he was near death so I lost 0-1). That was my second greatest gaming moment.
What are your top four memories of gaming? Any special ones?
Thanks

My favourite memory was when i was probed by aliens they were friendly.
I thought of that idea before you even became a regular!! :) I can prove it but can't be bothered as I know I am right!

Tony is seriously thinking of this, as it now falls in with one of his plans (strange, that, isn't it?!?!).
Anyway, I thought I thought of that idea. Ah well.

Lets hope they show the 'users currently posting' feature that I suggested, then we can know to talk in the WLT!
