Hands down for me its always been illusion of gaia read the entire story line to my little sister while she watched me play the entire game I was like 16 she must have been 4 or 5. heart felt moments in that game. Fucking epic
Playing Super Double Dragon. I just bought it because I thought the music was the best I'd ever heard in a game at the time, but... it turned out to be my favourite beat 'em up ever. That game blew me away.
Street Fighter 2. Hearing Guile's theme fo rthe first time and getting to the bosses. OMG.
I remember when I first played Super Mario World on the SNES when I was really young and I got to the SPECIAL WORLD, one of the messages that displayed went something like "Congratulations player, not many have made it this far or even know about this World" and I remember smiling like a dope thinking how much of an achievement that was- and then I realized that all my friends got there too after talking with them- and then the internet happened. Needless to say, my confidence was shot that day :-[
The first time I "heated up" in NBA Jam. I'd never been so hot before!
Playing Super Probotector that I had lent from a videogame lending shop. I had it for my pocket money for three days and had to make the most of it.
The moment I learned how to draw both weapons at once!!! A a a a a h!
Next two months I was trying to draw the robots from the game's cover. I still have these drawings somewhere!
Bought that game only recently, I think at least 12 years passed since !
I always preferred Probo to Contra myself.
The first time I ever played the SNES(I was a Genesis guy back then). My friend had just gotten the new(at the time) Zelda game, it blew my 5 year old mind.
The first game that made me cry: Super Metroid.
When the baby hatchling came to save me and was killed in the process. I couldn't help but shed tears and mash the controller with anger to kill Mother Brain. Mind you, I was only eight years old at the time....
I have been saving Super Metroid to play all these years and that's one hell of a spoiler :)
You need to watch the opening to Metroid: Other M if you haven't yet.
The baby....

I'm trying to forget that game ever existed. Team Ninja turned a bad ass bounty hunter into an emo, whiny bitch. Add to that some of the shoddiest controls I've ever played with(try going from 2D to 3D to launch a missile in the middle of a frantic boss fight or enemy wave), it was the WORST Metroid game I've ever played.....
What? I really liked it! It is what Metroid Prime should have been! The story is great and Samus is not whiny or emo in the Japanese version at least (which is 100% dual language with Japanese and English btw). I would say she is like she always have been. And Samus can actually do platform jumping properly unlike in the FPS-like Prime series.
Shooting a missile is like the first-person view in the 3D Zelda games when you shoot with your bow but the game slows down so you get more time to aim. But I often go into first-person mode in the wrong direction and it takes forever to turn around in first-person mode (just like in Prime) so I have to use sensemove dodging a lot.
I don't understand why Samus can't absorb life- and missile-energy from enemies any more though.

I happen to like whiny, emo bitches. Jut sayin'
I just remembered:
Would wanting to strangle your best friend with the SNES Controller cord after he beats you with no life left in Street Fighter II count in this topic?
Playing Famicom Tantei Club II, close to midnight and with all the lights off, with the volume turned up. I reached the climax of the story and was immediately scared to death! :'( My brother was there with me so at least I wasn't alone... (still didn't help though, since BOTH of us were screaming!)
Also another incident - while playing Sailor Moon: Another Story - my brother laughed at me after my weakest character (Sailor Pluto) got a OHKO during a boss battle since she just joined my party and I couldn't equip her with anything good at that point. And my nephew was joking about how the bosses had toenails on their foreheads... ???

Even worse, I played a tense VS. that went to the 3rd round, and we were so intensely fighting that the end match ended up being a draw because we both lost the last bit of life at the same time. Ouch!
Another painful memory is challenging my friend to first to 100 wins in Super Mario Kart Battle Mode only to find out the counter stalls at 99. :(
Seeing Emperor Gestahl steal Terra and killing her wounded mother in the most underrated scene of Final Fantasy VI.. The ending too but I won't spoil it.
^This. Yes.
