Well, I was just playing some campaign on legendary in Halo 3 over X Box Live with my buddy. We played on the level "The Covenenant." Anyway, we make it about a quarter of the way through, when my buddy gets called up for dinner. I think, "Fine, I can probably make it about twenty minutes by myself." Well I fend for myself pretty well. And I normally play on Normal by myself, so doing this well on Legendary got me pretty excited. But then my friend comes back later and says he has to go. This is right as I'm about to take on the two scarabs. So there I am, having to take down not one, but two scarabs by myself, on Legendary, and I'm freaking out. Well, long story short, I eventually beat the level by myself and I'm unbelievably happy. This is easily one of my happiest moments in gaming.

So what I want now, is list your happiest moments of all time from when you were gaming. You don't have to go as indepth as I did. I'm just a little bored, so I felt like writing a whole lot.

hmmm for me it would have to be when I first played the first Phoenix Wright game. It was awesome and I immediately started liking the series since then.

The first time i played on xbox live with my own account, with my friends... and was able to talk to everyone who i haven't seen in years.

and the time i beat Halo 3 on legendary by myself, that was cool too but the special ending sucked

Good Post.

The one's I can remember the best are the first time I played Mario 64. The jump to 3D, and making it work like no other 3D game had done yet, was just amazing for me, and I loved it all. And beating my brother 5 - 1 on the original International SuperStar Soccer on SNES. First time I'd ever truly thrashed him on a football game, and proboably haven't done it again since.

There's just so many to list I can't even think of half of them right now.

My happiest moment in gaming? Completing Final Fantasy VIII. That felt like such an accomplishment, and since I personally thought the story was superb, the wrap up was awesome.

1000/1000 Halo 3's achievments.

Not exactly hard to do but it's my first 100% completed game, minus easter eggs.

Beating the last boss in Puzzle Quest. For those who don't know Puzzle Quest is the first(and maybe only) game that has created an AI that can mimic the emotion of Hate. The game literal hates you and will doing everything in its power to cheat for the AI. Beating the last boss is considered glitching.

not whilst gaming, but, when kingdom hearts 2 came out, I had waited for over 3 years for it, then that day came... I rushed down to wal-mart (my parents wouln't let me camp out) and found out I needed to come back at 3:00...I was like "NOOOOOO!" so I came back and was there exacly at three, and became the first person in my town to own it/play it, I was so happy when I got it.

Beating the ends of both One Shot, One Kill and Heat on Veteran felt pretty good. They're probably not my happiest overall, but that's a tough choice to make.

To go way back, when I finally beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Blue Version it was awesome.

This is going to sound weak, but here goes. When I was 8 I got a computer with windows 95 and the origianl prince of Persia. Anyways, my dad and I could always get the sword, but never figure out how to use it. Anyway, the greatest feeling in the world, was me, showing my dad how to kill the guard after I figured it out!

Oh, and getting the PS2 is up there

Indeed, that is the exact feeling I had while playing the game. I haven't finished it yet, but I had a feeling that the computer wanted me to break down emotionally.
