We have all had them. They will forever be with us. what are yours?
I remember mine very well.
1.Seeing Sonic 1 on a massive RPTV megadrive version after having only had the master system version for a long time. At first i didnt know what it was or why it looked SO much better than my sonic 1, thats when i realized, theres a new console out.
*i actually didnt really feel any wow moments in the 3d bit era. things were cool, but bad 3d was always bad 3d
2.Mario 64-at the booths at target. Holy shit. Could not believe what i was seeing. Such freedom. Incredible. First console was the atari 2600 and now this. What a time.
3.Dreamcast-holy shit, Soul calibur, in 480p PHOTO REALISTIC< how can it get better? Going from n64 to this was the biggest leap to me, beating even the jump from Snes to "3d" psx/saturn.
4.PSP-Mobile tech is already pretty strong now but back then, from the GBA to the psp and the other contender was the DS (which i know, has a much better library) But at the time the screen was incredible and i swear, that was ps2 graphics in my hand to my younger eyes. Everywhere i took this people would ask me -"wow what is THAT??" (Had an import one)
There have been wow moments since then but i have not felt anything as strong as i have for these. Sure, games look incredible now, but the wow moments like before dont happen to me anymore. VR did come close, though :)
