Related to the First 3D:

I was wondering- During your times of programming- What were the biggest moments for you? The best acheivements?

For me, this ones long, and mostly un-needed!:

1990: Drawing a boat with Line commands in BBCBasic on the BBC.(Hahaha!)
1992: Den Bros platform game in BBCBasic on the BBC. Hahaha again!
1992: Den Bros 2, learnt how to side-scroll on the BBC. Wahey!
1995: Got a new bbc, Figured out how to use assembly! Wrote a sprite system that enabled me to make way better looking games. Wrote pro looking plastform games, Simpsons, Bomberman, (I was not original!) Leo Lemming.
1996: get the BBC to play real music using just two cables and some clamps, and some Assembler. This felt awesome! I followed it up by creating a hardware amp and popping it into the BBC internally and adding a MIC socket where the BBC's reset switch was supposed to be. (Anyone ever had a BBC with a reset switch actually installed?. It was great hearing my compuer go "OW! MY ASS!" when i landed on lava in Den Bros 2.

2001/2: Blitz3D! I actually did dream of making mario64 clones! Thanks Mark!
2002/3 (forgot when): Started using ODE in blitz thanks to Vorderman and got the Racing Engine up and running. thanks vorderman!
