Spending hours upon hours playing Sonic 2 with my sisters, until I was good enough to (with their help as Tails) complete the entire game consistently without losing a single life.
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. All of it.
First win with Pokemon Blue over another player.
Call of Duty, Stalingrad, first level. The best set piece level in videogame history.
Metal Gear Solid 3. Spending an entire day and night with my youngest sister sitting by me to complete the entire game in one sitting, the second we got it.
Resident Evil 3: Me and my dad failing over and over at that water purification puzzle, my other sister coming up and asking to try, we humor her... And she succeeds on the second try. I have yet to live this down.
Silent Hill 3: Mirror room. My sisters making me vow to NEVER, EVER enter there EVER again once poor Heather managed to leave it.

Ah, have I got some memories for you kids!
Dungeons of Daggorath (Tandy Color Computer 2/3)- the first game that ever scared me (I was seven at the time). Especially in the lower dungeons, full of scorpions- small, fast creatures, deadly enough to kill you in one hit (at first), that you couldn't see without a magical torch. Problem was, at that point you could only use a Lunar torch (weaker magical torch), which meant you couldn't see them until they were almost on top of you. You could HEAR them, though... "Where is it? WHERE IS IT?!"
Heart of the Alien (SegaCD)- Out of This World was the hardest game I'd ever loved, and to see that bleak landscape once again, as Buddy (the alien) rode into view with Lester in his arms, to the sound of a harsh wind and a lonely flute... that's when I really knew that games could be art.
Dragon's Lair 2 (arcade)- beating it without a single death while half a dozen people watched. Second-proudest arcade gaming moment of my life (first one listed further below).
Silent Hill (PS1)- climbing up into that room in the schoolhouse and being creeped out by all the insane scribblings on the walls. Then climbing back down to find myself in a chainlink nightmare.
Resident Evil (PS1)- The hallway. The windows. The dogs. You know what I'm talking about.
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (N64)- my first run-in with Oblivion and the Flesh Eaters. "Your deeds... your life... your very EXISTENCE... fall beneath the great shadow of Oblivion!"
Thief: The Dark Project (PC)- The Haunted Cathedral. Standing at the door for fifteen minutes, listening to the rattling of spectral chains and the murmurs of the undead, waiting for things to sound safe. They never did. I went in anyway.
Half-Life (PC)- "Forget about Freeman! We are cutting our losses and pulling out! Anyone left down there now is ON HIS OWN! I repeat, if you aren't already, YOU are now-" *BOOM* I realized two things then. One: The United States Marine Corps wanted me, personally, dead. Two: I was trapped deep underground with something that was making them retreat.
Silent Hill 4: The Room (PC)- The hospital room with The Face. I reflexively shot at it. I know I'm not the only one.
Thief: Deadly Shadows (PC)- The Shalebridge Cradle. "It won't open. That's... not a good sign." Creeping up the stairs towards The Door. Hearing the banging. Flying down the stairs to the nearest shadow, broadhead arrow out and nocked, waiting five minutes for whatever nameless horror (I thought) was storming down after me to show itself. And then there was getting out....
House of the Dead 4 (arcade)- Getting through the first two bosses on a single pair of credits, by myself, using both guns. John Woo would've been proud.
Resident Evil 4 (PC)- The first time I blew off an infected villager's head and came face-to-face(?) with what was really controlling it. "What...? Euuuugh. DIE!" *bang bang bang*
Portal (PC)- Everything. Just everything. Especially "Wheeeeeeeeee *static* *boop!*" and the "Android Hell" statement.

The bone-chilling tapping of the 3 headed Tentacle alien in Half-Life (From the Blast-Pit Level).
seriously, everytime i made a noise by accident i'd close my eyes IRL and wait to hear the sound of the tentacles beak ripping through my flesh and scattering parts of my body across the room.
Intense.

Stupid as it sounds, the first time I woke up one of the big Bulborbs in the original Pikmin.
What? It was so big... and my Pikmin were so small... and I kind of figured I wasn't supposed to wake it up... and I was fairly young but I won't give any proper frame because my age is my business thank you very much.

All my times playing and harmlessly hacking the old-school RPG game Nox (by Westwood, before, well, you know the deal).
The man who worked at my local EB Games and recommended UT2004 to me even though I was like 13 years old. I love UT2004 for all its glorious moments on Assault games and whatnot. I'll always remember that guy, too.
Who will ever forget the glory days of StarCraft (and also Warcraft III) custom maps? Also, playing Diablo II over and over was amazing too.
I refuse to forget anything that runs on the Source engine.
Super Smash Bros. original and Melee live deep inside my soul. Also, Link's Awakening DX for the Game Boy Color - one of my favorite RPG's. Also, my first (I don't know if I can count Pokemon Blue). That was just an amazing game. In fact, it's really the only game out of the Zelda series that I like (don't shoot me!). I just loved the storyline and the fact that you weren't just going to go save some princess who doesn't do jacks#%*t for anybody except shut up.
Also, Chrono Trigger. I cried at the game, too many times. It was so touching and amazing. I just feel so bad that the first time (and only times I've ever played it) had to be on an emulator.
You know, I really can't go on. The nostalgia hits me like a brick to the face and my memory troubles (which have been worsening every year) really frustrate me. But, I know that at least these are a few that have survived the massive warfare inside my cerebral cortex. All I can say is, good times, good times.

would probably be the time my friend and i were playing wow with this random guy. he was being annoying and constantly ordering us to summon him so my friend had an idea. we got on the zepplin and my friend began to summon him... however the portal was placed exactly over the edge. so when the guy accepted he fell off the zep and died XD good times, good times.
