Karateka, the bird part. Frustrating and amazing at the same time (don't judge me, I was 10).

One of the first 3D games to really wow me was actually the first NFL 2K game on the Dreamcast. That was revolutionary in terms of graphics and gameplay for that day.

Jumping Flash and Nights into Dreams for the Sega Saturn. 2D -> 3D blew my fucking mind at the time.

Not counting when I was sub-10 (since I'd drool at any game I saw) - but the game that really stunned me and knocked me over, was Beneath A Steel Sky. After all the kiddy console shit I had played over the years, this was the first real PC game I got my hands on (the demo, that is): adult conversations, dark comedy, brilliant graphics and a story that hinted at so much! It made me fall in love with PC gaming and since then, consoles seemed to me as if made for the more ... mentally challenged people.

Gears of War. The demo videos that they played at E3, that summer before the 360 was even released. I saw that and was sold. I mean, I was already sold anyway, but I wanted that game.

Had to be SPACE WARS ... one of the first arcade machines. It had alot of knobs to control the spaceship, but it was the first DEATHMATCH game where you can fight against another player and try not to collide into the center star.

All of them, man... Back around 1995-1997. It was unbelievable back then. Got to play Monkey Island, Fifa, Commandos, Starcraft, Dune, Warcraft, Diablo, Doom, Fallout II, HoMM2&3, Warlords III, GTAI, etc.
One game more amazing than the other one.
Now they've kind of exhausted the genres and I rarely get "wowed." Though LA Noire and Skyrim were pretty cool. Also Mass Effect II.
