I remember when I first loaded up Half-Life 1 and thought "Holy shit, this looks amazing!"

Then when HL2 came out, it blew my mind...

Now, some games are making HL2 look like crap.

What about you, what was the first game to make you say "Holy Shit!"?

Graphics just dont make a game. Look deeper into 007 then reply once you understand.

Age of Empires. Coming from games like Red Alert and C & C it was just so... fresh. Totally changed the way I looked at graphics.

Wouldn't it be weird to go into a comma and wake up 15 years later to find games that make Crysis look like the 1st doom game.

thats what I feel like thinking the past games I have played were AWESOME! I feel like an idiot because by today's standards they were crap

I can't believe I used to play games on the Atari and thought they looked cool

Shame they won't be re-releasing it on the Wii Virtual Console, that would be amazingly cool

EDIT:
GoldenEye 007, that is

Max Payne 2, the first game was pretty awsome, but Max's second coming not only blew off my socks, it set fire to my ankles as well....

at the time nothing came close to what I experienced when I popped that game it, defending several star destroyers while also trying to take out several mon calamari cruisers WITH fighter escort was amazing. At the time the screen seemed flooded with ships and lasers. I was floored

Hitman actually.

Not because of the graphics, but because it was one of the first games (that I played) that had "interactive" environment.
Leaves would move if you went by them, when you dropped someone in the gutter and didn't drag him far enough, only his chest would hang down and the rest would still be lying up there.
It was stuff like this that really blew my mind back then.

Final Fantasy 7. My first wife and I got into the story line on that in a huge way. She would get so mad if i started to play it before she got home because she didn't want to miss anything. She ended up crying on and off for over a day when Aeris died.
