Mine was playing twisted metal on the good old PlayStation, split screen I was one point away from winning and my mate I was playing against tried to ram me off the roof, but I knew a combination of buttons that made your car jump up on the spot, causing my mate to drive straight off the roof underneath my car! Silly really but one of those 'yes' moments!!
Firing up Golden Eye for the first time.
I spluffed in my pants when the music started.
Best game ever, and guess what...!?

Gran turismo 4 on the PlayStation 2. I'm driving a BMW Z4 on the Costa di Amalfi track. Approaching a tight upright hander. I turn in and give it the lot. The rear slides, I throw some opposite lock and j-u-s-t catch it without crashing into the wall. Felt a buzz afterwards.
Another track this time trial mountain, I'm in a Toyota gt1 race car. Cornering into a hard left just before the start of the tunnel, the car initially turns in at a amazing rate but in the middle of the apex the car does a 180 before I even register oversteer.
Other games.
Grand theft auto also on the ps2, listening to 'gold' while cruising Vice city.
Medal of honour, storming the beaches of Normandy.
WWF Smackdown on the orgianl PlayStation. I used to spend hours on that game.
Far cry 3 on the PS3. I loved the beach environment and thinking how beautiful the game looked. And flying using the wing suit of course.

Always makes me chuckle when that sample comes up at the start of a One Epic Knight run. https://youtu.be/ZxN75FGn54wWith my old gaming clan we used to play a lot of COD. One night we all changed our names to something involving the words chip or munk, the chipmunk movie had just been released. We then set the voice controls to high pitched and went online to troll the world. Some people got it, some really didn't.
Things we discovered that night:
Things like this a lot funnier when drunk.
The Americans take gaming too seriously.
The French don't like being insulted in a high pitch voice.
It's really hard to shoot someone when you can't breath from laughing.
The other notable gaming moment was Gran Turismo, can't remember which one but I think it was the first one on the PS2 but I've had them all so hard to say. Seeing the detail was just a revelation, glowing brake discs being a standout memory.

Playing CS on Aztec, I wasted the entire T team of 11 players.....without taking a single hit!!
Mine was in cbble, all out team got wiped out apart from me and I was in the left side tunnel when I heard the enemy coming, I dropped to my knees and killed 2 with one bullet headshot, turned 360 and shot another two the same way and as my gun had run out of ammo I threw it and picked up the enemy AK before it hit the ground fired and hit another coming into the tunnel, hopped out and headshotted the guy planting the bomb.I got banned for cheating but it was genuine.

Classic moment and still happens.I used to play Live For Speed (PC Racing Sim)
I had a G25 logitech wheel pedal and shifter setup.
I would have some BRILLIANT close, clean races with some excellent racing drivers.
Some of them were racing drivers in real life racing leagues. It was all tracked by an application written by some very clever people who ran a team called CTRA.
Very good, decent races and I was sweating by the end of the night and had achey arms.

Off the top of my head, the Metal Gear Solid games have given me a lot of satisfaction. I'm fairly terrible at the stealth so it's a great feeling when I actually manage to do anything without being seen by a guard. Also the ending from Snake Eater.
More recently, Dirt Rally. The feeling when you get round a few corners quickly without crashing. It's exhilarating. Until I crash. Which happens a lot.

A few years back,flying in the round the world air race, I had the relay baton,coming into an unlit airport,late at night in poor weather(in a P-47 IIRC) , gripping the joystick like crazy, terrified of f
king it up,eventually got down in 1 piece, my hand was sore from gripping & I was shaking from the tension but really proud to have got it down.
Coming from dead last in a FM4 race,and winning by a bumper's length,that was a good race

Used to play rifle only on MoH:SH (medal of honor) religiously through my years at school. Eventually joined a 'clan' after an accident had me home bound for a few months and pushed the team to the top of the league we were in as the designated sniper.
Something quite proud knowing your handspeed is quick enough to headshot someone jumping from a balcony as you drop down into a river with a split second to shoot!
