Civilization: Call to Power- I had a city with lots of defense upgrades. I had built a lawyer in the city (a nice non-combat unit). Suddenly the computer attacks my city with a stack of 9 samurais. I thought the city was toast, after all, the lawyer isn’t an actual fighting unit. Amazingly, the lawyer was able to fend off nine samurai and saved the city from certain capture. Let me tell you, I wouldn’t want to mess with that laywer! :eek:
Tecmo Super Bowl- My friend and I go into double overtime. I won by kicking a 65 yard field goal
This reminds me of a most-memorable moment in Pikmin. I had led my army of 50 plant-men valiantly into battle against a horde of those huge Bulborbs. My troops managed to take one Bulborb down before being entirely demolished by the other Bulborb - that is, with the exception of one little Pikmin. I knew the odds weren’t good…impossible even, 1 Pikmin for a Bulborb, that’s not even a competition. But that little guy clung to that Bulborb’s foot giving it his all. He hung on for what must have been a good 5 minutes before he was finally victorious. I aptly dubbed him Jesus.
Sadly, he drowned a few minutes later in my search for more Pikmin. Apparently, unlike the real Jesus, this one was unable to walk on water
Playing an Evil character (2/1 Cleric/Rogue of Cyric), I’m in town, and I walk into a house. I trick the man of the house into giving me his money.
After paying, he figures out I’m not collecting for charity. So I attack and kill him and his wife. But his kid doesn’t get involved in the fight, so she doesn’t get killed. So, I talk to her after killing her parents in front of her.
She’s friendly to me. Too bad I couldn’t adopt the kid and raise her to follow in my evil, corrupt footsteps.
My immediate thought was toward the end of Metal Gear Solid 2, when it’s revealed that you’re in a VR simulation, and the controls go wacky, the game starts telling you things like “stop playing this game!” and making it look like “game over,” etc. There was a first-gen Gamecube game that based its entire existence on this premise.
Resident Evil 2, in the police interrogation room, I was checking Leon’s reflection in the mirror for a few minutes, and the Licker comes crashing through the mirror at me. I almost crapped myself. :eek:
Right before the final battle in Zelda: Wind Waker:
Ganondorf gives the typical supervillain monologue. When he’s done, he suddenly dashes towards Link, fists swinging, and beats the crap out of him. At this point, he’s free to just take the triforce piece for himself.
That game was so wonderfully evil. The one that got me the most was when you complete the second level it thanks you for playing the demo and to look for the full game soon.
… The first day I owned that game, I played it until that point…
I was tired, after a long day of playing it. I’m pretty sure I was falling asleep. My ‘codec’ in the game rings. I answer it… It’s the colonel.
"I need scissors! 61!" I looked over at the fax desk beside me… And there’s a pair of scissors sitting on top of a large pile of papers.
Slightly perturbed, I keep playing. It happens again.
Actually, I am in really bad shape financially. I pay money to my ex-wife as part of our divorce settlement, among other bills… I just had no choice but to make you pay for lunch the other day. I’m really sorry.
… Thanks Colonel… I think you’ve dialed the wrong number… ring ring
Even my patience has its limits. I just can’t leave it to you any longer. I’ll do the fighting! You can just go home!
I… am at home… ring rig
"You really have been playing the game for a long time…"
At that point I saved my game. I put the controller down, went upstairs fell asleep.
I didn’t play that game again for a week. It seriously disturbed me.
