Seeing the "It's Thinking" Dreamcast commercials and seeing all the new games.

Gran Turismo 3

Oblivion was very impressive when I first saw it.

Super Mario World.

I was blown back when I jumped in a cave and the woop sound echoed.

The first Madden on 360. I remember my eyes getting dry when I first play CoD 2 on Christmas that year.

Wario Land Shake It.

I'm a sucker for hand drawn sprites and its not often you see console games go that route.

OoT

This. First 3D game I had ever played. It didn't impress me - it amazed me.

Bioshock Infinite was impressive too, but that's because it was one of the first higher-end games I tried out on my current gaming laptop so I was able to push it almost to its limit. It was pretty.

EDIT: Riven too, when I first saw it. It was a little bit before playing OOT for the first time, but that underground/water cart ride blew my goddamn mind.

For consoles, I remember being very impressed by Gran Turismo for the PSX, and being blown away by Silent Hill 2 preview screenshots for the PS2. Halo 2 for the XBox looked very impressive for its time as well. Gears of War for the 360, as well as BioShock. I also couldnt believe Max Payne 3 looked as good as it did on 360/PS3 when it released, as by then console hardware was pretty outdated. For PS4, P.T. and Uncharted 4.

For PC, id Software games, namely Quake III Arena and Doom 3. Unreal Tournament 2003. Max Payne 2. Call of Duty 2 and F.E.A.R.
