Beating Breath of Fire II: Breath of Fire II was one of those seminal games for me. The first Breath of Fire was also my first RPG, and I beat it fairly easily, but the sequel was another matter altogether. The biggest pain was Barubary, the second-to-last boss and royal pain all around. My brother and cousin would gather around as I attempted to beat him go after go, but but it never happened. Easily took a whole month before he went down, his sprite disappearing from the screen with no sound effect, and my heart stopping for a few seconds. Everyone was stoked; it was great! You can imagine my excitement when I found out about Breath of Fire III years later (aka, the sole reason I bought a PS1).
Getting my GameBoy: My eighth birthday would have been pretty bland If I hadn't gotten this. My grandparents got me this, Super Mario Land, and a polyester carrying case I still have and use to this day. Tetris was insanely engrossing in of itself, by the whole package was really special
Playing Bad Dudes: It's not a great game, really, but I remember the day my brother and I, on a mission probably inspired by God, were determined to beat the arcade version of Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja. Fueled by soda and pretzels we played on, and five dollars a piece later we left with failure, but oddly enough, we felt like we had actually accomplished something that day.
Playing Duke Nukem 3D: Not my first FPS, but the only one I've ever enjoyed. I guess because it doesn't play like a normal shooter; there's just so much to find, so many secret areas to explore, weapons that, although not exactly useful, are insanely fun to use. The codes, the deep-as-you-want-it level editor, the humor, the bots; it was all so well done. I hadn't played the game in forever, and was still able to beat my friends at it during my first death-match session in college (My home internet was never good at that sort of thing). Easily my most played PC game.
There are plenty more, but I'll save 'em for later!
