Mine: There is a mission in Ace Combat 5 where you are supposed to escape from the enemy, "8492". Let me quote some FAQ: quote:Well, I killed them with an A-10, and if you know planes, you know that the A-10 is not a dog fighter, I have never ever been so much on the edge of my seat...

5 minutes ago, playing the 'Night of a Million Zombies' map on Half-Life 2. Turned on god mode (hehehe), and sat on top of one of the ammo spawns. I killed over 1600 of them (it keeps track) before I turned off god mode and let them kill me. It was very fun, and intense. Dead zombies everywhere! Well, dead-er zombies.

Playing a survival VR mission in Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance as Metal Gear 1 Solid Snake. You were given little ammo for your guns and enemies could deflect your bullets. Some foes carried shotguns that killed you in one hit. Never did beat that mission. Real intense fighting, but the end boss killed me in the end. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

There are many, but I'd have to settle on a clan finals match of TFC (mod for Half-Life 1). One in particular, on the map Dustbowl.

Hmmm. The last time I really was getting almost a heart attck, was when my F-16 was shot down by some Mig. BTW, the A-10 is one of my favorite aircraft.  I like it because of the elegantly placed engines and the soft roaring noise of the canon when shooting at a tank, and the engine roars and gear squeeking when touching the runway after a brilliant mission, after which you got shot down by some stupid mig. The F-18 also is a quite beautiful aicraft:  The positioning of the tail is what I like best, the slightly bending down of the tail, if you see what i mean. But anyway, we were discussing something else here. (But you noticed by now, I suspect, that I like aircraft) EDIT: Now I think of it, a long time ago I really could handle the A-10, but slowly by slowly I'm forgetting it. Pity. once I could shoot down quite a few migs at once.

Playing Total Annihilation with 8 enemies and 1 ally. I just stood in a corner on my island, built up ressources, built thousands of planes and went in with about 20 planes to kill the enemy chief (when you kill the chief the whole side goes down). I got all 8 enemys with the loss of only 50 planes out of 500! And I got my khighest TA score ever. -------------------- How many shapers are there? Why is Drypeak controlled by Zakary?

Holding off three rushing armies with a Bloodmage and four footmen for a whole ten minutes, in a 3v3 LAN game of Warcraft III of course.

My most intense gaming moment ever would be while I was entering the Fortress in the Mechanical Age in MYST. I was literally shaking with a mixture of creepy uneasiness and anticipation. That was almost exactly 10 years ago. Even E3 didn't live up to that, although it came close a couple of times - in the same situations, ie. entering some dark, unknown dungeon of unspeakable power or evil. Combat comes as a cathartic relief in that ominous, tense atmosphere.

The most intense, eh... Perhaps the time I battled Sa-Matra with an Utwig Jugger, and won. Or the time I fought Metroid Prime core form in hard mode with only 3 energy tanks left. Or when I battled Ganondorf the first time in OoT master quest. Memories, sweet memories...

Now I think of it, although it isn't really the most intense gaming moment, I always got very scared upon entering that tower in Avernum 3, that's at the beach. Where you eventually find the entry to the Slime pit. I really hate that background sound. In the mean time i got over it, though. -------------------- Thralni's almighty Avernum pages: My webpage, containing scenario's and graphics made by me (And maybe someday the homepage of the almighty chicken gods).

Ah yes. The background sounds in GF and A3 did a lot to add to the atmosphere. That "whispering" that was always in the Undead dungeons was creepy... But I find it weird that everyone here lists some kind of battle as their most intense moment - doesn't virtual combat get repetitive after a while?

Not if it's different all the time. For example, fighting the invisible monsters in FarCry was very different than fighting the Striders (50 foot tall monstrosities that can only be taken down with exlosives) in Half-Life 2, and both battles were fun.

You don't know what you're missing. Really, you don't. I used to play that way too, but making it to XP level 47 and a depth of 3500' before dying in OAngband was more satisfying than the time I managed to win by extensive cheating. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

The second to last Zerg mission in Starcraft (not Brood War), where you have to bring the crystal to the Protoss temple. Holding off the Protoss forces for the required period of time was very overwhelming. Especially when that Arbiter zipped by and froze my Guardians in the stasis field, and I had to rely on the paltry few Hydralisks and sunken colonies for defense during the last few seconds. A close call would be the last mission in Battlezone, where you have to destroy that Fury rocket ship in a short period of time. Believe it or not, in the last few seconds my tank was destroyed and I had to finish off the rocket with just my little pea-shooter! My roommates and I were ecstatic with amazed disbelief. -------------------- The A.E. van Vogt Information Site My Tribute to the Greatest Writer of the Science Fiction Golden Age Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

I play with Angband edit files shamelessly. While there really is something in facing a dracolich with one purple dot left in its health bar when you're down to 20 life, getting killed by something breathing from offscreen for the 332nd time just gets old. (I regard Roguelikes as very similar to Tetris and Solitaire in many ways, and I feel no compunction about changing the rules to the latter either.) —Alorael, who can't think of many gaming moments that he'd describe as intense unless they involve other humans. The sudden sound of everyone getting another bite in NetFungus when everyone has monster bites and important sections only three blocks wide is priceless, though. It's enough to make you start taking monster bites out of furniture, actually. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

My memory isn't good enough to pinpoint a single most intense gaming moment, but it must've happened either in Starcraft, Ares, or one of the Escape Velocity games. I remember taking down one of those huge carriers in the original EV with a far weaker ship; it took quite a while, but by the end I got frustrated and just charged right in at it. Definitely the most satisfying explosion I've ever caused. In Ares, I remember taking the last enemy planet with a single ship remaining just as the majority of their rather large fleet descended on my homeworld. Starcraft... man... one time in a battle.net game I came back from literally one building and, with the help of a friend, got back on my feet in time to destroy the faction that had almost destroyed me. That was a good feeling. Great topic, by the way, Sauron. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.
