What's the most EMOTIONAL moment you've ever experienced in a video game?
May 7, 2025 03:51(nothing hits like minesweeper expert. Sure, I'm excited every time I solve some new puzzle in Blue Prince or clear a final boss in any of my favorite tales games, but like... Minesweeper dude. Minesweeper.)
the catharsis
😂😂 I won that three times in a row, and deleted the app. I was like: I can never rise higher than this moment.
My buddy and I were playing Donkey Country for like, an entire two days, and we were on one of the snow / vulture levels — one life remaining. One of us had the controls and fell off a cliff. But... we didn't die. As second later DK exploded out of an offscreen barrel and we nearly wept with joy.
Donkey Kong country lol
The first time I realized the ball could bounce around ON TOP of the bricks in Breakout. (A transcendent religious experience for a 7yo)
Still holding out waiting for, "Pong - The Movie!"
This but it hits *ALL* pixels
Fuck me the wave of nostalgia I felt over this LOL
It doesn't feel as good when you beat it on a good computer. Like, 30 years ago, when the cards dropped, they dropped slowly. You got to savor the show. Now, you get to play 52 pickup as all the cards explode in an instant.
🤌🤌

Especially when you'd get lucky and the cards would cover the whole window
FreeCell or Klondike though. My respect for this win depends crucially on this and I will not explain why
Naw bro, it’s when you win and then the floating cards fill the screen, with the upper left corner hitting last.
Playing “The Prisoner” on the Apple II. After hours of play, we found the path out.
The screen went black, and then displayed a single word:
Freedom
We celebrated, cheering wildly.
Then the screen suddenly reveals two more words…
Is Slavery
We almost threw the computer out the window.
SOL-TAR????

kick ass fighting games with action missiles

Spot on
Ah you place the spades in the rightmost column so that the ace with the largest icon bounces unobscured across the screen at the end you are clearly a creature of distinction and culture.
Being stoned out of my mind and playing Angry Birds 2. I hit one of the magic potions that changes the materials, it changed them all to stone with that funny explosion sound. I completely lost my shit and didn't stop laughing at it for about 2 hours.
Waow I love Balatro
(I know this is Solitare and you just did the thing)
All my most emotional gaming moments are connected to corrupted saves

When some ahole says “green” is sus and you’re green, and / or say they saw you kill and you didn’t do it
Yup. That's the funniest answer. Time to mosey.
The good shit
