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.

And then you got outside, there’s a fiery volcano and zombies that make Link shit himself.

I remember a friend of mine got an N64 with Super Mario near release date and I hadn't seen anything like it at the time. First time playing that and jumping through paintings and just playing a game in 3D

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

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.

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.
