    God this is a hard one, I would have to say it was finally finishing Theme Park on the mega Drive.

    It took ages!

    Capturing the flag twice in a clan game of QuakeWorld Team Fortress, in a 3-1 victory. Our clan was mediocre at best, our league opponents were renowned kings of the map we played on (Well6).

    They could lock down this map tighter than a badger's arse, but I managed to sneak in as a spy, grab the key, jump out of the tower and into river below before swimming to safety. Twice. It caused utter chaos in their defence.

    And all this before I learnt how to use a mouse for FPS games.

    I won a sega T-shirt by completing the first level of sonic the hedgehog in 28? secs ( I think) resulting in a huge score, at a computer show when I was about 14 ,

    felt very proud...

    (I think my dad took about 3 mins...)

    coming to the aid of a mate on AOE2 by smashing through a fortified position, decimating the attacking force and battering both our opponents bases single handedly.

    A river of war elephants, ill never forget it.

    Doing an all weapon combo in DoD. Single handedly wiped out 3/4 of the enemy team, pre primed nade out window killed 3, closely followed by me falling out same window firing mp40 (another 2), quick switch to pistol (another 1), lastly pulled out a spade to account for a further 2. Unfortunatelly got shot in the back by my own team sniper about a sec later

    Or there was that ultra lonf range sniper shot I did again on dod, it hit Romanov who was about to cap the last flag for my team. Still sorry about that mate

    In one of the first on-line gamings I ever did: UT2004 deathmatch holding my own pretty well against howard and some other hexus regulars... some of the time. clearly they were beyond my abilities but I made sure I gave as good as I got.

    and I'm on a really difficult part of Farcry (where you get chucked out of helicopter with one gun), and I got here with no help/cheats/guides etc and its on the 'fairly difficult' setting...

    ah and completing any zelda game...along with the slight anti-climax that follows !

    I think CS original - on the plane, only CT left with full (7 man) T's team and took them all down with shotgun.
    Alternatively getting jumped while solo by a full group in WoW with levels from 4 below to mine and nailing the lot of em inc a mage that blinked away to hide behind a tree and heal.
    Never buy a dwarf with learning difficulties. Its not big and its not clever.

    When I was at Uni I was so good at the Star Wars arcade game I could play it for hours on one credit ... one handed!

    It was downhill from then on.

    Taking Kettering Town FC to the Premiership in Championship Manager 3.

    Ok, ok, I cheated and gave the club a £3million cash injection, but it was still great.

    Successive promotions to Div3 and Div2, languished in Div1 for a couple of years then got into the Prem.

    Then the computer borked. Damn Windows 98 needed reinstalling. Oh well!

    Mine has to be playing CoD, on a HPP (Happy Penguin Playground) server, the ones where people only seem to use mp44's and tommy's. I used a sniper rifle and got well over 50 kills with very few deaths. Damn that was funny!!

    Trying to hit people running round in circles from a distance is pretty difficult, but popping off guys hiding in other buildings is easy!

    Either that or playing Carmaggedon 2 with my friend till the early hours of the morning, completely wasted, and trying to kill as many pedestrians as possible, whilst making our cars fly for miles and trashing them as much as possible. Such good fun!

    Then there's the first time on Eve Online where I took part in a fleet battle, the adrenaline was pumping so much and I made it out alive, along with one other batteship!
