Playing Kirby's Dreamland for the first time...the first video game I ever played. So many good memories behind that, its a good quality game too another huge memory for me was Super Mario World, and Zelda 3. The first games of those series I ever owned, and it was just so wonderful...it got me hooked for life. The best moment ever, though, was when I finally beat Kirby's Dream Land for the first time. I remember finally defeating that retarded blimp thing....it was not easy for a 5 year old, but I didit, and then King DeeDeeDee's ass was mine. My babysitter (I was 5 ) also owned the game, and I used to think she was insanely skilled at it when she helped me (she was probably about my age now, so of course she was better at it )

I wouldn't call it a favorite memory, but one that definitely stands out is beating Ninja Gaiden for the first time on my own...and throwing up immediately afterward. I like to joke that the horrid translation made me sick.

Favorite memories include finding out who the Goddesses of Ys were in Ys II, and the ending of Phantasy Star II,

...Was he DeeDeeDee back then? I can't remember.

Of course, now it's DeDeDe which is much... well, easier to type out.

I remember staying up all night to beat Wizards and Warriors actually. Didn't have any problems with the final boss sadly.

Man the memories... I remember when my mom bought me Link to the Past at a garage sale... she thought it was some cheap game that would keep me busy for a couple hours... ended up keeping me busy for a couple months... (I was probably around 7 or 8)... I remember finally getting to Ganon, my little brother sitting on the floor screaming and yelling cause I was there (he was probably about 3), and my hands were so sweaty I could barely grip the controller...




....and then I died... and tried again and beat him that time...

Hm.. beating Donkey Kong (the GB one. You know, with the keys and doors stuff), I guess.I'm pretty sure that was the first video game I beat all by myself. Really great game, and just the right difficullty level for an 8-year-old like me. Back then, I didn't know much about video games, and only got the game because the store clerk said it was good. I was really surprised when I noticed Mario was in it.

Another memory...the best I ever ogt out of my n64, was playing Mystical Ninja starring Goemon...rented it for the summer once...late fees were a bitch, i didnt care. i was hooked. I got to the last boss, and couldnt beat it, returned the game...bought it used just this year, turns out my memory card has a corrupted save on it. SOO. i had to start over. but playing that weird crazy game again...and now getting the "humor" because I'm older...its so great

Kicking my cousin's ass for the first time at Street Fighter.

I always was E. Honda, and he was always Blanca. So, I'd use Thousand Slaps, I was a kid, didn't know better. I always got wasted. Then I disovered Ken, Ryu, and Guile and projectile attacks. Of course, he still owned me. Soon I discovered how to time my attacks, and then I found the almighty Zangeif and his awesome flying Power Bombs. Soon, my cousin could not touch me in a fighting game. To this day he cannot defeat me, in anything...Except golf, but that is a totally weak ass sport.

To him, and for him, it is a sport. If you met him, you'd understand why I allow him to think of it as a good and wholesome sport.

Beating the crap out of "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" is one of my best memories.

And a really recent one (5 day old), would be my completion of Tales of Symphonia.

The opening day of Vitura Fighter in the arcades. There was a line at the larger screen and I walked up and started to play against this one guy and I beat him, so the next one in line went, and I killed him, and then another guy came up and he went down, until the four one came up and I was beat. It was the first time that I played that game.

There's more, but I won't waste time here, mostly yours. Maybe later.

When I saw The sims for the first time. It was so magical game back then, I did cheat whenever I did play. But later on I actually stopped cheating competly and have only played without now.

The sims and it's succesor The sims 2 it's not very hard games. For some reason I get sucked into the game becuse of the creative part of the game. I love building houses and see the Sims interact with it.

Besides that, SMW. The first time I played that game... so magical it was. Full of secrets... back then.

Um... a few years ago when I beat Ocarina of Time. May have been a bit newer than most of yours, but really, after I beat it, I messed around with it for hours and hours and hours.

Then Majora's Mask pwnzed its replay value.

We had Virtua Fighter on our old 166mhz computer many years ago and it was amazing.

Though, I beat the crap out of the game on expert. No challenge at all. My favorite character was Kage Maru.

Well, I'm sure there are many more than this, but at the moment these are the first and best ones that come to mind.

- playing Double Dash for the first time (getting three giant chomps in a row; realizing waaay before anyone else that you don't need to push the button repeatedly to get the speed boost)

- realizing we could network X-boxes

Playing videogames with my mom back in the day (she hates the new controllers, haha). It's the most mother-daughter time I've ever experienced, and I still hold those memories close, as pathetic as they are.

As far as a specific game goes.. beating Megaman 2 was one hell of an acheivement for me. Actually playing it in general. Awesome fun times.
