I loved that game.

The multiplayer = win¹⁰.

It was always a mad dash to get to the uber rpc90.

oh, and oddjob(?) was always popular 'cause he was a harder to hit midget running around.

Yeah, it was oddjob, you moron. Anyone who doesn't know that and supplies another bond name is officially labeled a stupid geek. My first game to knock my socks off was of course (cliche, I know) Goldeneye for N64. Who gives a crap if the graphics are completely terrible? Nobody can truthfully say that, at the time of the N64, they weren't impressed with those graphics, anyways. My favorite character was the jungle commando guy, and then I sometimes played the girls, 'cause even with those graphics, I thought they were hot. I was like six years old anyways. Also, guys, who in their right mind would rush for the RPC90 when you could get the Golden Gun????? Anyone ever done that bunker multiplayer thing where you could make remote mines float? That was the coolest thing ever. lol

Oh, yeah, Ken Griffey Jr Major League Baseball for the N64???? That game should be on the "Hidden Treasures of the N64" list, 'cause i've never met anyone who's heard of it. Totally kick-ass game.

FF7, that remains my favourite game ever.

As to goldeneye... that really did suck, its only a fav to people who hadnt played FPS before.

FarCry.

Just because it was the first game I got when I MEGA upgraded my computer years ago. My comp couldn't even play MoH:AA at all because of the graphics, but then upgraded and tried FarCry just to see if it worked. My god! the first level was fantastic. But as soon as it got stupid it really turned me off.

I can truthfully say that I was way more impressed with PC titles as far as video quality was concerned.

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!"?

Starcraft

Well the VERY first game that amazed me was Pac Man, you know the one that started it all. But, on the PC I would say Doom.

Dang, I played almost all those *the memories return* Those were good time. Anyone here an old school gamer?

Remember Chuck Yeager Air Combat? That game was awesome! I used to play that when I was like 6 years old or something (I'm 24 now).
