Gaming Images that stick in your mind

[ReaXan]

One of my favorite is this part of Grandia 2 when Melfice and Ryudo are gazing at the sunset when they were younger promising basically
to use their abilitys for good,for some reason this image really touched me,I guess it is because it represents those times in your childhood when your close to someone,and I guess this image represents a pact to always do good to each other and mankind

This particular Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike combo.

It's hilarious hearing a crowd of 10+ people shouting "EI!" on every hit that connects. ROFL

Just as i was waiting for the thread to download i was gettin google open to find the exact same images! This totalyl shocked me to death! Actually shook me a little, as i had no knowledge about FF7 at the time which made it so amazing!
I always thought she would come back some how... i was disapointed! :(

anyways another from me would be this:

http://www.planetdreamcast.com/sonic/learn/vgames/gen_sonic1/greenb.gif

If your askin why... IMO Sonic is one of the best games ever made, and the first Boss just sticks in my mind, so simple yet so well thought out!
At the time i didnt have a megadrive, i was an Amiga boy as dad couldnt afford £40 per game, we had to go the car boot n get dodgy Amiga disks at £1 each... So everytime i played sonic i was totally taken in by it!
Colours, Speed, Graphics, Sound (I love the music!) and just the coolness of sonic in general!

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Definately the end of the first disc of Final Fantasy VII for me!!! Most memorable definately!


Others include (Although some technically not images):
Ryudo shouting "Millennia..." in Grandia II
The bit when you die in Metal Gear Solid "Snake... SNAKE!!!"
In Goldeneye when 006 says to Bond "For England James?" and Bond reply's "No, for me!"
In Resident Evil when those dogs come through the window!
The exchange Conker has with the scarecrow in Conker's Bad Fur Day - "Beardy? But you don't have a beard!"
The rather sad ending to the afore mentioned game... (Almost as sad as FFVII)
The music to Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle as well as the Rock, Paper, Scissors game!

[SegaAges]

the picture that sticks in my mind is the end of conker's bad fur day on n64. it is where he is sitting there all pissed off with a crown on his head drinking a glass of milk.

i don't know why it sticks in my head, but it does

[El CiF]

wow i have a lot...
my favorite would be the ending to the final "game" in Kirby Superstars. the credits going with that music and dreamland in the background...
also the opening cg scene in FFX. incredibly awesome...
also the ending to Super Mario RPG, with the parade going on.
many from Metal Gear Solid: where Gray Fox fights against Metal Gear Rex, where Snake kills Psycho Mantis and he reads Snake's mind...
so many awesome moments

I KNEW someone was going to post about the nude patch for DOA: XBV. LOL

But of course, you may just have destined this thread to get knocked into the pub for posting that. :P

[neoroking]

The most displayed animatd image is the ending of SMB3.

[Jasoco]

Ignoring that above image, I'll never forget the first time I met Bowser in Mario 64. Finally, Mario's arch-nemesis in glorious 3D.

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!




OR!! Man, I'll never forget the emotional scene from Beyond Good and Evil when Jade returns home to find the lighthouse destroyed and all the children kidnapped. I literally almost cried. I did shed a tear. It got to me that badly. That game deserves a sequel badly.

[Dahne]

When you first meet Fortune outside the Big Shell.

LOL nice one
the ys intro and the begining to castlevania sotn begining , and terranigmas ending

[jdc]

There are SO many......but there are some above all.

The moment where I realized that Ganon was FINALLY dead in Ocarina Of Time......and Link was sent back to regain the innocence of being a young boy again. Sent back in time with a brainwashing as a blessing. That little boy went through SO much in that game. It was nice to see him be able to finally return to being just a little boy. That was THE first video game where I'd felt as if I'd ACCOMPLISHED something huge.

Winning the final boss race in Tokyo Extreme Racer. Those races are bitches......IF you can figure out how the hell to unlock him.

[Maddrox]

I like in ninja gaiden for xbox when that weird angel looking thing busted thru the church glass. And also when that one chick gets spit out by the slug monster.

http://www.eurogamer.net/assets/converted/pics/screenshots/metroidprime_gc/a_med_e3-01b.jpg Seeing Samus on Cube for the first time


Seeing the inverted Castle on CastleVania SOTN was the shit for the first time....my first impression was "what the hell?"

[DDCecil]

Definetely Irene getting stabbed on Ninja Gaiden 2. Watching the blood drip off of the Sword of Chaos... Awesome.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

the picture that sticks in my mind is the end of conker's bad fur day on n64. it is where he is sitting there all pissed off with a crown on his head drinking a glass of milk.

i don't know why it sticks in my head, but it does

Lol. Technically that is also the beginning of the game too! Except at the beginning you are none the wiser why he is like that.

It's much more meaningful at the end though, as you have the image of that final battle with you know what and then also the knowledge of what happened to you know who... Can you blame th epoor bugger for feeling like that!

Apparently though, the Xbox version is rumoured to have multiple endings... Which would be nice, but it would mess with the beginning slightly methinks...

I think the best thing is to actually have a sequel which has a time travelling plot or something...

[Algol]

-Link in the dungeon fighting random things
-The PS1 startup screen
-The fighter coming out of the mothership at the beginning of Ikaruga.
-The batters in Nintendo Baseball.
-The Xbox startup screen (blublublublublublublu-WHOOSH)

[Jasoco]

The GameCube start-up screen and the Saturn screen are my two favorite startup's. Especially the Cube with the really nice lit glass effects. Very memorable.

[GobopopRevisited]

When I decided not to fight Magus in Chrono Trigger and he... JOINED MY PARTY!!!

When I realized, that there was more game in OOT after pulling out the Master Sword... I thought it was going to end, I was so disapointed.

First seeing two kids do the Bowser Toss in Super Mario 64 at a Best Buy Nintendo 64 Kiosk in 1996.

[SkiDragon]

Well, most recently, since Ive been playing Halo 2 alot, I just imagine me sitting in the corner with two guns waiting to kill anyone who tries to steal the flag.

Not the most memorable of all time, but it sticks in my head now.

[Jasoco]

So you're a Camper. Damn Campers! LOL

[NESaholic]
