There are so many moments that stand out in my PC gaming history.
Who can forget the sheer excitement that me and a mate had when we connected both our PC's together via a rs232 cable on his Mum's dining room table and Duke Nukem 3D fired up. We were actually playing against each other, setting up trip wire bombs on doorways as booby surprises, trying to find the best spot to fire a long range shrink gun at each other and logging into the cameras to find each other.
A great game in single player as well with it's shootable walls, toilets, prostitutes etc etc.
Another game that grabbed me by the short and curlys was Geoff Crammonds Grand Prix 2. Sure the original GP came out on a PC but it was slightly flawed and sometimes ran like treacle. The new game was a tour de force. Me and my mates absolutely loved it replaying hot laps over and over, laughing at the crashes and trying to complete a lap with no driver aids turned on.
A brilliant game and still around if you look.
Grand Theft Auto comes next on my list. I had played the 2D versions, including GTA London which was cool man, but nothing had prepared us for what was to come. It was in fucking 3D. It had fantastic music and radio stations. The plot was brilliant. You could drive anything, blow most things up and the gangs really, really hated you. I played this recently and it still stands the test of time, although Vice City beats it in my eyes. Just. Mainly for the music.
Next up comes the original Battlefield 1942. I still play this game from time to time, as my do previous clan mates. Just for old times sake you understand. Not because it's actually any good. I mean, what fun can be gleamed from playing on a 64 person server with some mates, chatting shit on teamspeak, before trying to fit as many people on a B17 wing before taking off and crashing into the desert CP? None. Obviously.
We did that in a clan match once against some top Swedish team. We were losing, heavily, on our home map, Market Garden, so we decided to all spawn at the airfield and B17 surf. After a bit of banking and staying away from the church we bombed and all bailed out on the Stone Bridge CP, much to our, and the lone bloke guarding it's amusement. We still lost.
One of our friends made a map, which led to jeep races and fun nights where we would join our server and drink, abuse each other verbally until we passed out. Oh the joy those memories bring back to me.
Jump forward a few years to Left for Dead. Another game that as a clan we played to death. Loved this online, and the sequel, as nothing could come close to being shit scared as a mate roaring at you over teamspeak as his tank charges in and batters you to death. We had some fantastic moments playing this at 2am on a Friday night, ravaged by scotch and blaming the scotch for not killing a smoker.
Next up is Trackmania. For some reason I really loved this game, with it's stupid courses made by stupid people. I made one myself. I thought it was ace until some bloke pointed out a huge flaw. The rotter.
Special mention goes to Audiosurf for combining my music collection with a twisty track collecting blocks race thingy.
Last up in my gaming moments/ games I love/ I'm so sad it's untrue is Oblivion. I had just bought a new PC when this came out and it did the game justice. The moment you step out of the sewage system and have a good look around truly stunned me. It was bloody lovely. I called my Wife into the computer room to see, She just said "very nice" and walked away. I sat there amazed. How could she not see the beauty in front of her very eyes? Mad cow.
Sure I have owned every Playstation released, I still do, the PS4 is in a box waiting for xmas, the PS3 is in the lounge attached to the big fuck off tv, the PS2 is under my PC desk, plugged in and attached to my main monitor and the PS1 is in the cupboard next to me, but PC gaming has provided much, much more than those little boxes can ever offer.
I have no idea why this is, but it is.

Some of the scenes in red dead redemption were / are simply stunning.
Especially sun rise and sun sets when you're roaming around the desert hunting coyotes or armadillos!

Some of the random events in GTA 5, and the first moment you realise they have based their wanted level system on Drive. The first cut-scene with Trevor in the dessert.
