Oh, allright.

Dungeon Master on the Atari.

I'm sitting in my friend's house and he says "Oh, it's a new game,
watch this !" He killed a mushroom monster, then picked up a piece of
it and ATE it ! He then picked up another piece and clicked in the
middle of the screen. The piece left the cursor and flew down the
corridor, until it hit a wall with a THUD. I remember thinking "Oh my
God..." IIRC, it was my first real-time, first person RPG.

 After that, the Gold-box games just weren't the same...

Meeting the marines in Half-Life

I ran down the corridor, and peeked through the railings. A group of
human soldiers were below me. We spotted each other, and I ran back
into cover. I switched to the SMG and reloaded it. I ran back to where
I spotted them thinking "Ah, another easy kill." As I got to the spot
where I'd been, a hand grenade sailed over the balony and rolled to a
stop at my feet. I was paralysed, and just stared at it. My last
thought was "Well, THAT's something that's never happened in a game
before..."

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes !
They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses !
And what's with all the carrots ?  
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway ?
Bunnies !  Bunnies !  It must be BUNNIES !
