btw my dentist appointment was fine, phew.
good wow moments sswift and good point.
Seeing Paperboy in the arcade was a bit of a wow, but I think that seeing Golden Axe was even bigger, also Guantlet! oh and Flying Shark.
Gran Tursimo 3 on the PS2 was wow, it was a next gen console with a next gen racing game, very neat.
Getting Ultima VII Serpent Isle to work again in DOSBox in XP after not playing it for 8 years (due to incompatible OS/hardware) and then managing to complete it was wow.
I gotta also say that Quake was wow when it first hit the shelves and I really went wow at Hexen (better game than quake actually). Also the start if Unreal was pretty wow. Outcast was pretty wow, wonder what a modern equivalent voxel game would look like now! An early game, Bioforge was wow, really neat graphics (pre-rendered though), beating up the guard with a severed arm froma cell mate was fairly wow, oh and Blade Runner, just the start wow.
Classic gaming moment: playing 4 player C&C on LAN (or Red Alert) and totally winning, or just storming an enemy's base and winning (or losing horribly lol).
Actually I've had some very funny and classic moments playing early FPS games coop. I wish they'd bring it back more.
Screamer on a P133 made me go wow.
Bullet Time in Max Payne!
Seeing the bomb heads all running over the hill in Serious Sam!
Having the swordfight with tha Japanese assasin in the airbound trailer in No One Lives Forever 2. The first and last levels looked great. Actually seeing people fall down stairs or over balconies (pre-rendered, no live ragdoll) in NOLF 1 was pretty cool.
Playing Rogue Squadron on PC! Also loads of stuff in the Nintendo Gamecube Star Wars games, like the Jet Bike scene in the woods or controlling the AT-ATs.
Oh yeah Forsaken (Descent clone) was great when it first came out.
