When I finally got all 120 gold stars in Super Mario 64. That game was a labor of love. Sometimes me and my brother would set our alarm clocks a couple hours before we were supposed to go to school and we would game until my parents woke up. That game was my life throughout most of Jr High school, and it was a big f'ing deal to me once I finally 100% completed it.
Also, beating the Water Temple in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. While the level itself wasn't my most favorite moment, the feeling of relief as I beat that level (especially in the day and age without strategy guides) is a feeling I'll never forget.
Playing Resident Evil 2 on N64 was also one of my favorite moments. For years, the battle between PS1 & N64 always seemed to favor Sony since they were able to incorporate FMV sequences in their games and Nintendo cartridges didn't have room. Having an N64 game that allowed for FMV was a pretty big deal back then and no one thought it was possible.
Most recently, if anyone has played The Walking Dead Ch 1 game for Xbox 360, that's been one of my favorite games/stories recently. If you haven't played it, I'd highly recommend playing it. It's pretty controversial some of the decisions you have to make, and its one of the few games that actually left me feeling a bit traumatized and uneasy as I played it. I'm hoping Ch 2 continues the trend.
