The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
In a bid to improve the standard of the posts in here I thought I would make an effort with this one. Just wanted to know what games changed the way you thought of games, which you struggled to put down etc.
Perhaps the brilliant multiplayer of Goldeneye or mario kart
The wonders of metal gear solid or driving in gran turismo
The online brilliance of SOCOM, Halo or something else?
So? What games gave you your favourite gaming moments?

1. The crunch of the bodies and hearing them yell under the tank on Goldeneye
2. Winning a star on Mario 64 after a very hard task. For example, one of the slides.
3. Building a brilliant rollercoaster on Rollercoaster Tycoon which doesnt make a circuit and releasing another train of victims then watching the two collide. The SFX for that is brilliant.
4. Playing the Gamecube for the first time ever. Luigi's Mansion. I remember waiting 20 minutes in this tiny, stuff computer shop.
5. Beating your mates on Mario Kart 64. Especially on Bowsers Castle and Banshee Boardwalk.

The train ride at the start of Half Life.
Finishing the Side Arms arcade on a single credit
Finishing R-Type on a single credit
Playing Snes Street Fighter 2 for weeks against my brother.
Seeing Doom for the first time on a prehistoric 486 sx 25.
Seeing how much potential Doom3 has judging from the E3 demo.
Being blown away by the compiled Half Life 2 leaked source code and E3 demo. No artifical intelligence yet, but I'll be buying this game *no matter what* (No, I don't have the code any more to respect the wishes of Valve, and I don't want to see any more than a taster of thefinal product)

My favourite gaming moments:
Completing Sonic 1 in various different ways and various different methods.
Receiving Sonic 2 at 7am on the day of release and playing it before I went to school.
Sensible World of Soccer, well Sensible Soccer in general. Changing the names of some of the teams to add you and your mates.
Getting my Playstation.
Dune 2.
Grand Prix 1 on the Amiga.
Loading times on the old Spectrum. (Yes, I enjoyed it. :D)
Completing Crash Team Racing fully. Well, I guess, seeing all your hard work on a game pay off.
Sol-Feace of the Mega CD.
Transport Tycoon.
There are more.

I love "those" gaming moments. The moments, where you find that your money went onto a game that was worth it.
Like on Final Fantasy 7, now *that* was a true epic title with no competition - just like FF8
They was truly great titles.

Also, managing to get GoldenEye a whole week before release date.
An hour or so before I was drooling over the video of it being shown off on the big screen in Game, then I walked into a different shop and it was there sitting on the shelf!!
I made sure it was the proper official UK version, and after confirmation I bought the sucka (and to this very day, I can't quite remember exactly, but the shop keeper may have even given me £10 too much in my change?? :D).

Playing through and completing Secret of Mana.
Every second of Mario Kart on the SNES.
The amazing anticipation in waiting to get my SNES for Xmas, standing outside shop windows in the cold watching Street Fighter II playing in the window and knowing, she will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine.
Getting the SNES for Christmas, and wasting the whole holiday playing through Mario World and SFII.
Multiplayer GoldenEye.
Spending a fortune on the N64 launch date, buying every game available after working my butt off to save the money. Then playing it for the first time.
Discovering Special Reserve when I bought Wave Race 64.
Two-player simultaneous Duke Nukem 64 and San Francisco Rush.
Mastering the first ISS game on the SNES.
Buying my Japanese GBA. It was pricey, but the shock of seeing it being sold was too tempting.
Cruising around Vice City with the 80's music blaring out.
Buying my PSone and finally getting to play Resident Evil.
And many more.
