    Had pretty much all the same experiences listed in this thread, mad to think how many games you got through if you were born in the eighties.

    Ill never forget getting a secondhand MegaDrive as a surprise from my parents one Christmas when I was very young, it came with a stack of games, it was replacing a knackered C64, F22 Interceptor is still burned into my head as the best flight sim ever, just the feeling we were in a whole new era now. Light Crusader, Sonic and Knuckles, random JPRGs, it seemed like Star Trek tech at the time.

    I was pcmasterrace since the DOS days but another time a new console gave me the whole new era feeling was the first Halo, we played that around the clock over and over again in college, never got bored of it.

    I think Metal Gear Solid and FFVII will always be the ones that blew me away the most though, just the pure genius of them.

    The Zelda game you’re thinking of is Phantom Hourglass.

    The DS allowed for some great moments like this which used the same mechanic of closing the lid. In Hotel Dusk, you have to perform mouth to mouth on an unconscious character - Your face is on the top screen and hers is on the bottom one, and you have to bring them together to complete the puzzle.

    One thing I haven't seen mentioned on this thread that was to my mind one of the ultimate gaming Easter eggs when it happened...

    This little sequence before GTA Vice launches into video killed the radio star!

    It really was the perfect game intro!

    One of my favourite multiplayer moments was on Castlevania Harmony of Despair on the PS3. The game was much maligned because it launched with only a handful of levels and characters with extra stages and characters released as dlc. Everything was made of reused assets from the other Castlevania games. While the game was full of paid content, it was all quite substantial and if you bought everything it came to the same price as a full game. The thing is it's was definitely a full games worth of content and was a really great looter.

    By the time I played it the game was old hat but there were still a lot of dedicated players still playing it. I got into a game with a load of Japanese players and when they saw I was playing the character Maria, a ten year old with the power of nature, they all changed to maria and started spamming voice commands and doing choreographed movements with her. It was really bizarre. We eventually stopped messing around and went into the level were I proceeded to play terribly and lost the level for us with a terrible performance on the boss.

    When I exited the game I found that those Japanese players had sent me a load of Castlevania related fan art and themes, one of which is still my wallpaper on my PS3.
