Games that made you go WOW (graphically)

I think the first memory of me being like that would have been Shadow of the Beast on the Amiga...

Then maybe John Maddens Football on the Megadrive, the very first one.... I seriously hammered that game to death!!!!

Past that... I think seeing Quake 1 in 640x480... the first true 3D FPS... then getting a righteous 3D and playing glQuake :eek:

Then I would say Dark Age of Camelot... quite a few times, most memorable was when I first saw the mid dragon making my way to malmo

Quite a few since but those really stand out in my mind.

For me, with a Voodoo 2 card, Quake 2 was on another level completely in the graphics dept.

I remember watching the lighting of the pistol shot for the first few minutes of getting in the game properly.

Tiberium Wars was the first really detailed game I played. Back when I had the PS2 and the most graphically intense PC games I owned previously were Theme Hospital and Red Alert 2.

CoD4 because it was the first game i bought for my ps3, before that all the games i had were ps2 level.

For me it would really have to be the original farcry... I don't know how much time I spent just running around the map not on any real mission. Farcry 2 sucked incomparison.

I agree. As impressive as the graphics are in Crysis in simulating real life they are no match for the more interesting level design in Far Cry.
