My proudest gaming moment is when I realized that my gaming skill was improved after a lot of training when I was 13.

Two of my best gaming moments came playing Battlezone. The first was doing my first live game with my son, who had been practicing. He also has far superior twitch skills to mine. He bomber rushed my camp and destroyed my recycler, so I could no longer make tanks or scavengers (resource gatherers). However, he left me three scavengers, which I quickly used to rebuild my camp with much larger and more powerful defenses. By the time he came back, my guns made short work of him. To top it off, I sniped him without a tank a couple more times to pull off the win. The second was in a deathmatch game. He was in a Grizzly (heavy tank); I was in a missile tank. The missile tank is a poor deathmatch selection due to slow targeting. I got a couple of seeker missiles off at him just as he blew up my tank. He then dodged my missiles. However, as I was coming down from bailing out of my tank, I watched the seeker missiles curve around and hit him in the rear, destroying his tank. His cry of dismay was classic. He generally beat me more than I beat him, so I raised him right ;).

My proudest gaming moment was playing Sniper Ghost Warrior and getting this crazy shot. The guy was hiding behind a fence and I couldn't get him to pop up for more than a second. Finally he ducked up and I said to hell with it and fired. The shot hit him so hard that we dubbed it the crucifixion shot. He fell straight back, arms straight out and the bullet hit the dirt behind him which exploded into a cloud! Fantastic day indeed.

My favorite gaming moment was being to finally buy the first two fallout games and New Vegas as I been interested in them for around 3 years, watching videos and reading the lore about the world of Fallout. Being able to play games that I such a deep appriaction for and love for was very exciting and joyful.

My proudest gaming moment was when I finally beat Left 4 Dead 2 in single player on advanced

My proudest gaming moment is actually playing The Witcher 3 all the way to the end. Unfortunately, I tend to jump to the next, new 'shiny object' rather than stick with a game all the way to the end. Witcher 3 is the first game I had completed in about 10 years. Now I got the bad ending, but I didn't care because I actually thought that end was fitting for what happened to Geralt and Ciri and I would not have changed my dialogue choices to manipulate the outcome.

My proudest moment in gaming was when I was finally able to complete Shinobi on the Playstation 2 on the hardest difficulty. It literally took me years to finish that game because of how challenging some of the levels were that I would take months off because of how frustrated I'd get that I could beat certain levels. Once I completed that game, I felt like I had accomplished something and was so relieved.

Mine would be unlocking all the powers and upgrading them fully in Dishonored 2. It took like 3 playthroughs to get there, but then I was able to use any power I wanted to deal with any situation. One thing I would do is cycle through them as I go through each mission, so that I would get to use all of them throughout the game.

My proudest moment came in 2014. In 2014 I bought my first smartphone. My friends asked me to download Clash of Clan because they all were playing it. I searched but it wasn't available for me because mine was Windows Phone and very limited apps were available on Windows Phone Store.When I searched on internet if there is any way to download CoC and I came around some people recommending a game named Royal Revolt 2. I downloaded it and I loved it. I formed a clan in the game. After around 6 months my clan reached the world ranking of 12 out of many thousands and that is the moment I consider to be my best.
I later slipped through rankings I was happy that I reached this high.

All of my friends uninstalled CoC and download Royal Revolt 2 to be part of my clan and show off.

My proudest gaming moment was beating Bullfrog's Magic Carpet 2. I'm still reminded of that game when I hear their WHOOSH sound effect in newer games, movies and TV.


Here's the sound from gameplay of the original game.

There's a Reddit thread about this that appears on Ycombinator.com if you Google search: magic carpet whoosh sound

As I posted in a limited form on twitter
the 'proudest' moment that comes to my mind (or at the least the moment that always comes to mind when I try to think of a non scripted event that stayed with me) was in Xcom enemy within.

THAT chrysalid infested mission with the chrysalid infested whale, my first time doing it in fact; Mission went well until we got to the ship, There I fucked up the positioning of my troops and had no real way of making it back with them all in time without possibly loosing them all to the endless waves of Chrysalids... It looked like I'd either be failing the mission or be loosing a lot of really good veteran soldiers, most of which had been genetically modified or cybernetically augmented at this point

When it comes to it I end up having no choice but to leave my one non-augmented heavy, a grey haired French guy I had either renamed or mentally nicknamed Jean (I don't recall which) stay back and hold the line... and hold the line he did.

Somehow, I don't remember exactly how, he alone managed to hold back the endlessly spawning Chrysalids that the rest of the team was able to move far enough that they were going to almost certainly make it to evac in time... And when they were all far enough, and Jean was completely surrounded, He pulled out a grenade... Better to burn up than become infected with Chrysalids... One explosion and he killed or wounded most of the damn bug things around him, the ones that survived and rushed the rest of the team and were easily taken out.

The entire rest of the team made it out with minimal injuries.

And to this day I remember Jean and his sacrifice, no other run of XCOM EW or that mission has ever been as memorable... Hell, nothing I ever did on XCOM 2 was as memorable.

My proudest moment was in Minecraft in its early days. I went on a long trek to explore a while, and got completely lost. I used a plug-in to create a map of the whole explored area - which was massive as it was several days of play already - and tried to correlate where I was and find my way back. It took four hours, but I am glad I stuck with it; the feeling of pride in managing to find my way back with a low-detail map after so many hours was amazing.

My proudest moment in a video game was when I completed the main story of Watch Dogs 2. With my skills maxed out and practically everything I could buy already in my possession :D

Mi momento más orgulloso fue cuando logre pasar Alíen Isolation en el modo más difícil, cuando lo compré empece a pasarlo en modo difícil pensando que iba a ser fácil pero que equivocado que estaba, fue la primera vez que un juego me puso tan nervioso y ansioso, y eso que llevo más de 20 años jugando video juegos, no podía caminar sin que el xenomorfo me atrapará, ni siquiera podía esconderme ya que siempre me encontraba. El hecho fue que nunca me rendí y después de tanto sufrí con ese juego lo logré terminar. Ha sido uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en mi vida pero después de pasarlo y haber sufrido tanto prometí nunca más volverlo a tocar XD

My proudest moment was when I managed to pass Alíen Isolation in the most difficult mode, when I bought it I started to pass it in hard mode thinking that it was going to be easy but how wrong I was, it was the first time that a game made me so nervous and anxious And I've been playing video games for more than 20 years, I couldn't walk without the xenomorph catching me, I couldn't even hide since I was always there. The fact was that I never gave up and after so much suffering with that game I managed to finish it. It has been one of the best games I have played in my life but after passing it and having suffered so much I promised never to touch it again XD

My proudest moment may have to be several years ago, at PAX East. I was wandering the show floor agape at all the booths and the games getting shown off within. If something intrigued me, I would go in and try out the demo the devs were presenting that day.

One of those was an intriguing puzzle platformer called Mushroom11. You basically have to control this mass of algae (or whatever sort of amorphous creature it is) by essentially erasing it to make it grow in the direction you want it to go. I thought it was cool, and sat down to play it. They had two laptops playing it, and the one I was at happened to also be hooked up to a large TV for other con-goers to watch.

So I am going through the demo, doing most things easily, when I come to a really tricky part. I attempt to maneuver the creature through the obstacle, but fail again and again, falling down back to the start of the obstacle. It's a toughie, but I am also persistent. Unbeknownst to me, everyone waiting has started paying attention to my attempts!

I keep at it, though. again. again! and then one of the devs offers a quick hint... armed with the new knowledge, I attempt it another couple times... AND FINALLY I MAKE IT THROUGH! A cheer goes up amongst the spectators! I had to sit satisfied for a few seconds, and then continued on to finish the level/demo.

But overall, that was one of my favorite and proudest moments not just in my personal gaming experience, but also with the slightly wider community around our hobby.
