Almost everything from playing Everquest for the first time. I was like 10 and completely overwhelmed. Usually this was "Seeing X for the first time" and shortly after "Dying in X for the first time"

Seeing the tree-city Kelethin for the first time, trying to navigate it, falling off and dying and not being able to find my corpse.

Seeing a boat for the first time, getting on it for a 20 minute travel time, getting jumped by the Ancient Cyclops and/or sharks mysteriously floating in the air, dying and not being able to find my corpse in the ocean.

Trying a character in every starting city to check them out, and exploring each until getting in over my head and dying and not being able to find my corpse.

Talking to the priest of discord, following his instructions only to find out it flags me for PVP. Getting mad that he tricked me and attacking him, only to be killed like the 500 people before me (source: he was surrounded by corpses)

First time hearing "Train to zone!" and thinking "Oh cool there are trains in this game too?" and then 200 orcs rush in and my game slows down and I die horribly.

The first time I ever managed to pull off a huge bank hack in Uplink... my god. There's nothing like the first one. Sitting there wondering if you actually just managed to steal several hundred thousand bucks, if you could have possibly gotten away with it, and then your Uplink rating goes up to Professional - that is Peak Gaming.

Oh, hell yes! It's been years since I last played Uplink. It was so good though, the way everything was set up. Definitely very tense, in the aftermath of a bank hack, wondering if you've actually covered your tracks properly, or if you had been too slow. Such a good game - pity they canned Subversion (I think it was called) before finishing it.

Well between it and thumper I'm blown away with VR. Even playing the mafia shooting range game and picking up my gun, tossing it like ocelot and loading a magazine in really kinda blew my mind. I went from being a skeptic to a believer in one loving day.

I love my memories of really hard games that amazed me with what they pulled off-

I was instantly absorbed into Red Zone for the Genesis because holy poo poo I didn't think the creature was able to pull off some of that poo poo,...And the music was incredible.
Got the game on my birthday and then had to sit through a four hour car ride home, trying to figure out just what the hell kind of game I'd just bought, I think I played it for like 11 hours straight before snapping into reality and noticing it was dark outside and nobody was awake and I really, desperately had to piss.
Only reason I finally snapped back into reality was because I had finally gotten able to progress in the game and actually go through a few missions without my helicopter a smoking ruin with no fuel and ammo and more than 1 person of the crew actually alive.

It was kinda like a really hardcore sandbox game before those were around and the scope of it kind of amazed me.
Still really like the music, I always looked towards this game and Sub Terrania or whatever it was called when people said the Genesis's music capabilities were horrid.

Space Hulk blew me completely away with their graphics when you got into combat with the Genestealers and graphics overall, and the tactics you could attempt to pull off while your whole crew is screaming about all sorts of things. I still have the 3do version and haven't forgiven myself for eventually selling both versions of the console that I had the amazing luck to get my hands on.
And I was a sucker for blood that stayed on the walls, loved that poo poo.

I had so many incredible memories of that game because it was such a hardcore game to me, when I played the Playstation version I nearly erupted into a rage and then just felt sorry for the twisted and deformed creature it was.

Playing MW2 with my brother and cousin and playing with some kid with an annoying voice called "minutemaid" or something. Everyone gave him poo poo until he got like 5 kills in a row and some random guy goes " daaamn minutemaid used his retard strength!" and we all bust out laughing. That is my favorite cod memory to date

I was playing cod4 with a friend of mine years ago and there was these two black dudes on our team who were friends and one of them was absolutely pwning, so the other one was cheering like 'oh my gaaawd somebody stop him. somebody stop this nigga God drat' for almost the entire match and I cried laughing. you really had to be there though, the tone he was using is what made it funny
