It's hard to describe these moments without spoiling it, but I'll try... Mouse episode in Prince of Persia (I was shocked as a kid  ) Dark Prince in Prince of Persia (Apocalypse in my mind  ) One time I summoned the tornado in Castlevania II completely by accident. This. Fighting the first Colossus in SotC (What the hell I should do??? What the hell I CAN do??!! ). Realizing Dune 2 is not an adventure game... (because the first one was) |

- competitive Tekken-, Killer Instinct-(snes), and Street Fighter- (snes) matches - competitive Time Splitters 2 matches back in the day - the moment a neighbor ran through the neighborhood with a copy of MK2 shouting loud "Mortal Kombat 2 is out!!!" to let everyone know - watching Super Metroid trailers before it was released - playing pilot wings on snes back in the day - the first time playing Secret of Mana was the most magical moment - the first time playing Super Mario World - the first time playing Metal Gear Solid 2 Tanker mission - more recently, playing Dark Souls for the first time before realizing how poorly designed it is and get disappointed That's the power of "first time" and "not knowing"  |

I'd have to say the first time I played EverQuest was a completely mindblowing experience. Simply experiencing a 3D world with day-to-night transitions and other players running around in real time was huge. At that time I was playing games like Starcraft and Quake 2. EverQuest was something else.

Going inside of a home and reading about how the people who lived their were sent to their deaths and then encountered the creepy plant boss that did it in Breath Of Fire 2.

Playing Dungeon Master on an Amiga 500.
It was late at night, in the wee hours of the morning. I was stumbling down the first couple floors. The computer was hooked up to a fantastic stereo system as well as a luxurious 27" tv, because Amiga graphics hardware was way ahead of its time. Suddenly, thump-thump.
Thump-Thump.
THUMP-THUMP OH GOD THERE'S TWO MUMMIES BEHIND ME KILLING MY PRIEST!
OH GOD THERE'S FOUR MORE!
AAAAAGGHHH!!
(party dies).
Had a similar moment with X-Com (the original) and it's heartbeat-like music, too.

Most recently played through hotline miami 1 & 2.
The after taste is quite delightful. Hotline Miami 2 last level is mind blowing.

I have really fond memories of my dayz exploits.
One time I found a working bus spawned in a town (very rare) and I drove that bus around the coast until I crossed a small bridge. I thought it would be clever to jam the bus across the bridge horizontally, forcing any vehicles to stop where I could ambush them from the hills.
Before I got a chance to rob anyone a server restart happened. When I rejoined the bus was nowhere to be seen! The a few friends logged in and started making their way to me in their car. Crossing the bridge at full speed their car froze for no apparent reason, then exploded killing all of them.
Turns out the bus had actually just been moved under the bridge where it's roof was still blocking traffic
After learning this we drove the bus out from under the bridge, grouped up with the others and wreaked havoc on the server in our party bus of death.
About half way through our murder tour, we noticed that some random player had somehow gotten into the bus without any of us noticing. He had just been sitting silently in the back of the bus for almost an hour, watching us go out and slay towns, then pile back into the bus to move on.

I think this is the reason why we still play video games as adults.

Ah just remembered another one.. Once I sneaked out of my bed to play NES Zelda well after midnight and I got to beat Ganon for the very first time. The battle was so tense, I went back to bed still shaking from the adrenaline. Good times  |

Getting put in charge of rooting out the secret society of warlocks, that I was secretly leading at the time, while playing on a RP Neverwinter Nights 2 server.
Leading a 12 man squad to take a worthless hill in Planetside 2 from a 20 man group.
kiting a boss monster into an enemy camp while testing a game beta, and then watching it slaughter all the enemy PCs (The game dev got a kick out of it too)
