The 55 Greatest Moments in Gaming (page 8 of 9)

13. Pac-Man (Arcade): Finding that nook, just up and to the right of the starting point, where the ghosts never, ever find our bright yellow hero.








12. Golden Axe (Arcade): Screen-filling magic attacks? Check. Epic mounts? Check. Kicking the crap out of thieving elves? Check.


11. Prey (PC): We won't ruin it for you, but suffice it to say that the big reunion with your abducted girlfriend isn't quite what you were expecting.

10. Guitar Hero (PS2): There's no feeling quite like ripping through a shred-fest of metal riffs while waving your axe in the air like a glorified tool of rock-but it could use a little more cowbell.

9. 007 GoldenEye (N64): GoldenEye multiplayer mode let the world know that first-person shooters for consoles were here to stay. But the crowning moment was when playing as James Bond you turned the corner to face--mini-Odd Job!

8. Seaman (Dreamcast): Here was one of the most unique experiences in video gaming. Your thought processes had to be a little wacko from the get-go just to make the decision to purchase this game, setting into motion a chain reaction of bizarre moments that culminated in you being verbally dissed by a grotesque, hybrid man-fish freak of nature. Sweet.

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.
