Just wanting to see if we can collect some funny stories of our gaming moments of "oopsies!"

Here's mine.

When I was little my brother and I were playing a game called Lethal Enforcers. It's a shooting game using a light gun, you're the cop shooting bad guys. And of course there's the typical characters like civilians that you can't shoot. The penalty is deduction of life.

My brother had already used up all his life, so it was game over for him, and all up to me to go on. He had helped me get to a really high level, and this was the farthest we gotten in this game. I was hyped, I'm so close to beating the game's story mode.

I'm down to 1 life point as the next level started up. The scene was in a subway or outside on the streets I don't remember. But there was a homeless person lying down on a bench. He rolls half-way over and looks at me from over his shoulder to say: "You can't shoot me." I don't know what came over me. Mebbe I was being cocky. I said out loud: "You wanna bet?" And proceeded to squeeze the trigger on the light gun. The screen flickered, the homeless man rolled and fell off the bench... and I lost my last health point... game over.

Now... couple things. #1 I reacted because a video game was giving me attitude. Rolling Eyes

#2 to this day I still don't quite understand what triggered that emotion in me that would make me react that way.... to a stupid video game! I was doing so well, then my ego got in my way.

After that we never got to that same level again. It wasn't easy. I never got a second chance. But it is funny looking back at it now.

You didn't specify it had to be a PC game so....about 3 yrs ago me and Beanz and his pals were at a LazerTag place ( nowhere near as much fun as Paintball but a lot easier to get to etc)...anyway...they have a fog machine which sometime has a bad effect on people with breathing problems. There were about 30 people in this game of Deathmatch and We were all running around . I came upon my son standing over a kid of about 8 or 9...kid was laying on ground...it looked odd so I asked what was going on...Beanz tells me the kid is complaining he cannot breath and marshal has been informed and Beanz was supposed to stay by him until help arrives. We all scored points off of kid. He was OK in the end.

I remeber my dad almost killed me. He was on the fifth labrynth in Zelda. He had finally recoverd the flute and was proceeding to whip ass on the boss, I was wrestling with my cousin and hit the reset button on the NES. He hadn't saved for hours, and had been fighting that labrynth the whole time. He was furious.

My brother had a playstation(original one) with some funky ass memory card with multiple pages. I wanted to play FF7, but needed to change to a different page so I wouldn't screw up his game which was probably about halfway through at that point.
I have no idea what happened, but apparently I erased the card instead of switching to a different page. OOPS! He was pretty pissed at the time, I had no idea what went wrong but oh well.

I set a N64 loaded memory card on a subwoofer, a poorly shielded one.

Alien vs Predator (the first one). Playing as the Marine, it is dark and I have lowlight on. BTW it is the very very beginning of the game. My radar starts telling me that an alien is close. I can't see it and the radar is going balistic. All of a sudden this friggin alien jumps at me. I scream, the mouse goes one way and the keybaord the other.

I had to go buy a new mouse and I never got past stage 2. Damn that game scared me.
