The 55 Greatest Moments in Gaming (page 4 of 9)

37. Ghosts n' Goblins (Arcade): Expending countless quarters and fighting all the way to Astaroth's throne room, only to find you have to do it a second time to win, this was a sickening sucker-punch back in the day.





36. Halo 2 (Xbox): Halo 2 is still the #1 most-played game over Xbox Live. There's nothing cooler than covering a buddy for a flag run, racking up 20 frags in the process, and tea bagging every single one of them. Berserker!


35. F.E.A.R. (PC): As if taking out a mob of 12 well-armored cronies wasn't cool enough, F.E.A.R. puts all that exhilarating action into slow motion for you.








34. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC): Yeah, it may be a hefty RPG and really slow at times, but the first 30 seconds of playing Oblivion is the best tasting eye candy you've ever had.


33. Street Fighter 2 (Arcade): Some people collect quarters with fancy embroidered images on the back, others fill Street Fighter 2 arcade machines to the brim with them to pit Ryu versus Ken in an epic and emotional brawl to the finish.




32. Madden NFL '92 (Genesis): Playing a strong pro football simulation was a kick in the pants, but the life altering moment was the first time you discovered a money play in Madden. With that came the realization that at long last your long-suffering Bungles...er, Bengals (or whoever your favorite NFL doormat was) might finally reach the Super Bowl.

This list is definitely missing a key moment: in Ocarina of Time, when you think you're about to acquire the Master Sword and fight Ganondorf. Instead, Link becomes frozen in time for seven years and you wake in a totally destroyed Castle Town, re-deads and all. Now THAT is unforgettable.
