iconic moments in gaming
Warshrike:
The final cutscene in Starcraft when Tassadar steers the Gantrithor into the Overmind. The first time I saw that, I actually cried.
On a TBS, Holding out against a force of almost a thousand men using nothing but my Pretender God while I conquered the rest of a continent. It took them over 50 turns to kill me. I love Dominions.
Mageslayer to Anti-Flags For Blood and Empire cd. They just go so well...
Alien Versus Predator(Orig) To Teenage Dirtbag. Stfu.
Beating 400 Zerglings without losing a single Seige Tank while I built a fleet of Battlecruisers and Valkyres.
My first game of AoE. I never made it passed the Stone Age and, though at the time I thought I hated strategy, looking back on it now I realise that it is what makes me love them. I remember the moment my Clubmen ran into a force of Archers and Axemen. Let's just say it wasn't pretty.
ARC. And everything it entails.
Especially being called a hacker or toggler when you win.
Especially when you always flag.
Especially when it's 1v4v4v4.

Earthbound Spoilers Ahead:
The very end of the game, during Giygas's second form. Ness is dead, Jeff has been brutally robo-raped, Poo is dust, and Paula prays, and everyone in the game prays with her. On the very last prayer command, the game says, "Liam prays," and I really did. And I was raised Atheist.
That fight is just so powerful, because everything else in the game kept at least an element of goofiness to it. Even in the toughest, darkest parts there was an element of play to it, but once you actually faced Giygas, it was gone. The truth was, without help from God and everyone, Giygas was going to kill you.
I'm getting all choked up. Go play Earthbound.
Scytale:
The opening video for Command and Conquer: Red Alert where Einstein uses the chronosphere to kill Hittler, I always thought that was so cool.
Zork Nemesis: I've never played a puzzle game with that amount of atmosphere ever, completely amazing and the story that weaves it way through was really awesome. Backed up by the incredibly well written manual that game with it (which was more of a story book then a manual).
The Crusader series, no remorse and no regret, such an awesome storyline and series, so much fun to play.
I had this old school game called XF5700 Mantis, was the most realistic space flight sim I've ever played. Flying that thing around was so freaking cool, I was an 8 year old kid when I first played it and to this day I still remember all the physics stuff I learnt like radial velocity, rate of closing, thrust and propulsion.
SilentJ:
Honestly, when you get scared shitless by a game, it's good, but not nearly as good as the moments that don't scare you shitless, but still make you look over your shoulder the next day. One of my favorite of these moments are in Medal of Honor: European Assault on the last level when you enter far enough into Von Schrader's bunker and suddenly there's a VO of him and he goes "William Holt. Yes, I know who you are." I heard that and was like "WHOA!" I also liked at the end when SPOLIERZ LOL you leave Von Schrader's bunker and a guy runs up and goes "Sir! Didn't know you'd make it out alive! Orders in from OSS, new assignment just went out." And Holt's just like "And I'll be with them." and walks away.

Oh god. I remember I was playing the game at my friend's house for the first time and I was in the village, and they were like "just keep looking around", and I was like why? Oh, there's a guy I can kill. Then he chainsawed my head off and I just sat there in stunned silence while my friend was laughing.
Also, when you inevitably kill the merchant because you can't stand his smarmy ass and find out that you can't buy anything for the remainder of the game.
In Halo 2, when Cortana goes "bet you can't stick it."
