Proudest gaming moment had to be playing Silent Hunter 3 with the Grey Wolves mod and having to do the calculations by hand to aim a torpedo at a convoy ship. As soon as I saw the explosion and the resulting damage done I felt a sense of great elation and realized that maybe I was not as useless at math as I had thought.
My proudest gaming moment was when I beat Cry of Fear back in 2020 after being so terrified of it as a kid. I first discovered the game when I was 9, playing on a toaster of a laptop (and not getting far because mouse aiming with a touchpad doesn't work well on most laptops -- at least not any I've owned.) It was my proudest because the game always seemed really interesting to me, despite scaring me to the point that I remember having nightmares about it. Having it blocked out of memory for so long only to come back experience it 8 years later, now a horror-buff and FPS fan, it was surreal to experience it, realizing there was so much more to the game than I first knew, and also experiencing the story that I was probably too young to really grasp the first time.

I still remember my first time playing, traversing the apartment complex and fighting the eyeless, screaming girls with metal points for limbs. Not to mention when you go further down towards the basement, and encounter ghosts who turn your guns back on you.

I do remember being slightly disappointed with the boss on my revisit, because I always remembered him as being this six-limbed creature with chainsaws on every one of them...not the case. He has to limbs, carrying one chainsaw.

As I went further, the story and gameplay only pulled me deeper from there and I loved how abstract the visuals got towards the end and played into the narrative.

It's a game I will always remember now and hold as one of my favorite horror games.

My proudest moment was Resident Evil 3, I was 14 years old (so it was almost 16 years ago). I remember my cousin and I (he is 2 years older than me btw) were playing the same level for almost an entire week, I don't remind the exact level, but I can tell you, that was the level where we saw Nemeses with a bazooka, we knew where he was waiting, the exact moment he was supposed to jump in and scare us, we knew we were supposed to reach the next door, open it and run/explore into the next level, but we were stuck because we tried to defeat nemesis -we played the game with a PS1 simulator in my computer btw-, also every time we saw nemesis around we got scared-af/freaked-out and our fingers never worked like we were expecting, so because of that we died countless times doing the same level over and over again, and yet, with all that information we knew, we couldn't make it through -we played by turn whenever any of us died-.

One day we didn't wanna play the game anymore -frustration-, but we were bored AF, so I told to my cousin "let's try it again, let's see what happens" so I turned my pc on, run the game and started moving around saying out loud "COME OOOON!! STUPIIID NEMESIS!! U THINK U CAN DO SOMETHING?! U CAN DO SH*T!! HERE WE GOOOOOO!!" my cousin was laughing, I was thinking "there's no point, so let's make fun out of it I'm going to die anyway".. and then I run to the supposed impossible level, started walking slowing thinking "maybe he comes out every time we run", and then BOM! nemesis was there with that F bazooka! and prepares to shoot, so I run back! the shoot gets me closer, I got hit but then recovered immediately -did it by instinct- my cousin screams! "YES! COME ON! YOU GOT IT! COME ON RUN RUN RUN RUUUN!", but I run towards nemesis by mistake my cousin screams "NOOOOO!!! YOUUU A**HOLE!!!" and I scream "I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!", nemesis was about to catch my head but in time I run back again! so nemesis starts running behind me, and my cousin screams "NO NO YES! NO! YES YES! DO SOMETHING!", so I run back towards nemesis and avoid him and I got finally to the door behind him! my cousin screams "YEEEES!!! YEEEEEEEES!! OPEN IT OPEN IT!! HURRY UP!" but, once I opened the door I kept running, a few dogs came out of nowhere and I died in that moment, because I was still processing what just happened! hahah.

It was epic because we were stuck and didn't know how to proceed (silly us), and yet I somehow "passed" the level in the first try, once we passed the door it was like a magic book was opened before our eyes haha, so even when I died we were celebrating hahaha!
The most satisfying moment was whe,n 15 years later, I finished the nintendo game street fighter 2010.

The one that springs to mind from recent times is beating Sigrún, the Valkyrie Queen, in God of War (2018). She's the culmination of everything that has come before her. She is an extremely challenging opponent but the developers did an excellent job of ensuring that the fight never feels unfair. I got a great sense of accomplishment when I finally defeated her!
Proudest gaming moment was the day I platinumed Twisted Metal on the PS3 before the servers shutdown. 28 days of non-stop playing in order to proc one trophy while doing other crazy requirements for all the other online trophies and on top of that you have to deal with terrible lobby matchmaking system, griefers, hackers, contant crashes/random disconnections, and boosting leeches/stalkers that follow you in order to coerce you into giving into their demands. You also have to worry about the possibilities of said trophies not popping up due the previously mentioned statement. Once that platinum popped I was overecstatic and almost in tears due to all the effort I put into the game with my friends, while dealing with very toxic gaming community. Perseverance pays off and cheaters never prosper.

God this is a hard one...

I think my proudest gaming moment was beatng Subnautica. I had been following that game since pretty much the beginning,since the beta, playing it every update and seeing what was new each time. I essentially saw that game grow and become the thing it is today. It was just awesome experiencing the ending and seeing how far the team had come since when I started playing it.
Now that I am a dad, my proudest moment is watching my son develop a love for games like I did at his age. He still has a lot to learn, but he is way more into Minecraft than me and he can hang with me in Mario Kart. He has beaten me a few times.

I've had many proud moments in gaming, but I think passing the love of gaming to the next generation is what I am most proud of.

GOG.com: tell us what your proudest gaming moment was
I cut my teeth on games like Bard's Tale and Ultima III-V, playing on a friend's Apple II. (As one of the other Ultima Dragons recently reminded us, Ultima 5 is a lot longer ago than it feels like...) But that meant that I had access to their notes and maps - and for Bard's Tale and Ultima III, their characters to help level my newbies up.

So, one of my proudest gaming moments was finishing Ultima VI (which ran on my IBM PC!) without assistance, with my own personal pile of notes and maps. (Some years later, when the games were gathered into collections and re-released for PC, I did go back and beat the games I'd played on their Apple II, starting from fresh.)
My first and maybe my most memorable moment in gaming was when i finish Ghosts'n'Goblins on my ZX Spectrum 48k, back in 1986. It was a very hard platform game.

this go's back a bit but being on holiday and holding the top score on hyper sports for 3 weeks or beating sonic on the day it was released lol
Going to the arcades in the late 80's with my best friend. We played through Double Dragon, I was Billy (blue) and my mate was Jimmy (red). We worked as a great team throughout the game, taking on everyone of the henchmen and bosses to save the girl. Of course, at the end we had to faceoff and I summarily beat my best mate with a baseball bat. But hey, at least I got the girl!
