Me seeing the starting screen "These are the end-times... There was no hope of survival... This is how you died." For Project Zomboid the first time. The one and only Zombie-Survival-Game that absolutely hit the nail on the head in relation to an atmosphere of despair and gritty survival.

I'm surprised that game is over ten years old already. I've always thought it looked really cool but I've never been able to bring myself to spend the money on it. Maybe I'll catch a good sale someday. Patientgamer syndrome here

There's Survival Crisis Z, it's free but old. https://ska-studios.com/2007/09/07/just-a-friendly-reminder/

I think it would be been more popular today, with it's atmosphere and horror.

I died sooooo many times to the zombies in the castle town.

The ReDeads? Wooden faced shamblers that hump you to death?

Star Control 2 on the 3DO, playing that before I'd seen a PlayStation, was this for me.

And later, FF7 was this for me.

I'm not entirely sure what scene I would've said had me similar when I could still more surely remember those first years. Possibly a game I've forgotten since. Maybe one of the Bionicle Mata Nui Games or some other big online game. Or Imperium Galactica 2.

But a moment that will always stick with me is from the first Homeworld game: when you return from your first hyperspace voyage. That entire game was epic, including the intro sequence, but it's that sequence that I think can stand forever as a masterpiece.

Me with Bioshock when you descend for the first time with Andrew Ryan introducing rapture.

But tbf, imo that’s a modern game as in I don’t see much difference between that and the latest AAA single player game.

It’s nearly 20 years old now bro.

But you know what? I swear it just came out.
