Sorry to have two topics here at once but i couldn't resist. What are your top5 greatest gaming moments
1: FinalFantasy7 - Aeris dying/Sephiroth walking thru flames/humanity being wiped out at the end - dont care what advent children says, thats how it ended.
2: Eve Online - Dying or losing your battleship for the first time. You realise that wow this isn't like any other game iam actually physically hurt right now. I felt sick from the sheer gutteral anghuish i felt at watching my first bs blow up.
3:Playing my First FPS my god its its 3d and look at how the gun sways :) those were the days.
4:First time i played a playstation, the graphical leap was astounding. absolutely overpowers anything that is claimed today despite what they say.
5:Firing my first death hand in Dune2 (amiga) and then proceding to build another 7 palaces. One of the greatest games ever made.

Meeting the Sathanas in the nebula for the first time in Freespace 2 was the most OMFG moment in any game I've played.

You beat me to it. Without a doubt, one of the most traumatising moments in any game I've ever played!

Freespace 2 does have quite a lot of the fun missions such as the :
"DIVE! DIVE! Hit your burners pilot!" start of 1 covert ops mission :D
Other than that I can't seem to remember any huge "omg!" memories

My 5p worth on thoughts about gaming moments:
Truly great gaming moments are the ones that manipulate your emotions to the extent were your usual stioc sitting position in front of the screen is suddenly a hive of activity - arms flaying raised voice - They are getting rarer these days, as more and more originality is being sucked from the games we play. Once upon a time everything we saw was new everything we played was an experience to remember. Now-a-days generic shooter 6 cant give you the same fix.
Half-Life 2 was released last year to unprecedented levels of hype. Guess what i thought it stunk - the game played well the engine is amazing but there was no feeling to any of it. (If i see another barrel labelled flammable i'll scream)
F.E.A.R. just being released has given me more moments of geniunne emotional response in the first few minutes of play than the whole of Half-Life2 admittadly fear is the easiest emotion to manipulate in a video game, but its done well.
This is what we need for gaming moments things we see and remember for how they made us FEEL wether it be through the game design in single player or over the net. The latter being emotional through situation we have placed ourselves in.
We need more gaming moments in todays games.

1 - Final Fantasy 7 obviously, but less obviously - Those damn long stairs that you run up to get to the something floor of the Shinra building. That part sticks out more than anything.
2 - Ultima Online - Owning a house for the first time (back in the "good" uo days) and setting up a shop. Damn cool!
3 - Metal Gear Solid - Meryl being shot + the torture scene. Oh. Em. Gee.
4 - Eve online - The first time I warped and the realisation that this game was a full galaxy. I honestly expected to press warp and it would cut to a movie or fmv to show my ship "warping" while loading the place you want to go to. Very cool.
5 - Mario Kart (original) - Just the whole damn game. *drools*

For some weird reason, the first alien city from MDK2. I don't really remember it now, but I just remember staring up in dumb awe at it for like 20 minutes.
Uh... One of the early marine missions from AvP2, when you have to go into this Aliens-style base and find your squadmate, but when you find her she dies and the hive stirs up. You have to run up backwards through the entire base shooting a neverending wave of aliens. Excellent.
The first time I played Doom3, I guess, but just because it looked awesome.
And, of course, all of Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9. Weird thing, I just remembered about emulation a few days ago and decided to go grab an ISO copy of Xenogears and Final Fantasy Tactics (they never came out in Europe) so I'm hoping for some more 'wow' moments from them, Xenogears especially.

no final fantasy tactics is awesome, prepare for some really tough fights. especially, man i wish i could warn you, but dont want to waste it.
I didnt like ff8 and 9 was passable nothing compared to 7 FF10 was good though.

The blast pit monster in Half-Life where you had to creep pass it.
Playstation version of Doom - the sound creeped me out
Sam Fox Strip Poker on speccy - square nipples! **** wasn't easily available at school in those days!
Dungeon Master on Atari ST - first time I ever played a rpg and watching my torch go out just as the mummys were coming up the corridor towards me.

EVE: After weeks of doing nothing but ninja mining in a Probe with my first corp, I got into a Rifter, fitted some guns and went to a belt :)
Quake: Finding the Star Wars Capture the flag mod. Lightsabre melee 4tw
Starcraft: The first time one of my Seige tanks fired :)
Safari Hunt: I actually beat it. Took hours and hours on the old Sega Master system, and there was no ability to save. Stupid in retrospect, but was proud of it at the time.

Too many to list here, but I'll try to name a few...
Doom 3 : MAde me paranoid of mirrors for a week, and I never entered a dimly lit room(yes, I did leave lights on at night for a while after that).
Final Fantasy 7 : Of course, the same reason everyone remembers that game so well. The first time I saw her die, I actually broke down into tears...
SWAT4 : The adrenaline rush of breaching a door with C2 and charging into a room with squad members with MP5's and .45 SMG's, only to be met with the suspects camped in behind barricades with AK-47's... Lots of bodies after that one...
America's Army : Looking through the scope on your sniper rifle, and lining the crosshairs on your target, only to see him aiming his own sniper rifle directly at you.

PlanetSide: The first time I logged in. I was instantly spoiled to what a FPS should be, in respect to Multiplayer. I rarely play BF2 because of this. Also fortified my love for PVP.
Earth & Beyond: Such an awesomely fun game, for it's simplicity.
Wing Commander: Prophecy: Yeah, it sucked. But that last battle with the BAJILLION bugs flying around... OMG.
FF7: Been said. Not to mention the story. I don't think I've ever read so much intoa game.
EVE: Logging in for the first time, doing the tut, and realizing the sheer size and capabilities of this game. Everytime I get a new ship or gun, I'm further amazed. I still zoom in on my ship during combat to watch the dual rails fire, because it's SO EFFING COOL.

1: FF7 - the scene where.... i forget which weapon, but one of the Weapons approaches... the cannon (oh my GOD i forgot the name) and the cannon shots it in the face and it made me laugh. *ahem*
2: Duke nuken 3D - 2nd boss, where duke proclaims 'Once im finished with you, im gonna rip off your neck and **** down your neck' - then proceeds to do so.
3: Eve online - the stargate activation sound
4: FF7 - fighting the big version of sephiroth with 4 of my mates at 1am, then ma mate's dad come in and says 'what are you doing?' and we reply 'almost done'. then he says 'ok' and walks off.  - proceed to beat sephiroth into the ground

Man, there have been some great ones. Here are the ones I can think of off of the top of my head:
Starsiege TRIBES - My first FPS game and favorite FPS of all time. Hands down. Damn I miss that game.
Privateer - Getting chased by that damn Steltek drone, that you can't yet hurt, and a ton of enemy fighters through an asteroid field at afterburner speed trying to jump before that bastard punches through your last bit of aft armor.
Final Fantasy VII - Aeris' death scene. Never before have I been so moved by a character in a game.
Homeworld - When you warp back to your planet after the hyper drive test only to see the world in flames. Very moving, especially with that haunting choral version of Adagio for Strings playing.
EverQuest - Logging in to the game for the first time in beta and being blown away by this new (To me anyway) genre of game.
That's all I can think of right now. I just know I'm missing something important...

ooooo tough one, ok here goes:
Total Annihilation: watching my first kigroth(sp) walk off int gantry and thinking omg that rocks (followed shortly by it single handedly wiping out the enemy base)
Quake: Installing the shareware, starting the demo on hard with the sound up loud and the lights off, getting through to the 2nd level I think untill when the shambler stepped out from behind the piller and omgwtfbbq;d me. I literally screamed like a little girl and died in seconds, still makes my heart race that bit just from the memorys.
leagend of zelda - ocherina of time: killing ganondorf, escaping the castle and meeting gannon outside, and thinking OMG!!!
there are so many great games i can still list but there ar no other moments that stick in my head from all of them.

If you were old enough to find that humorous at the time Horace games were around, we can figure it out

1. The Mothership launch scene in Homeworld as your planet is consumed in flames. Just love the music with it.
2. Also in Homeworld, the part where the Kadeshi emerges out of the Great Nebula, the Gardens of Kadesh, and the tribal battlemusic plays as the Kadeshi Motherships disgorge their Swarmers.
3. FF7 Aeryn deathscene.
4. The final Medusa bomber run through a warp tunnel in Freespace.
5. The final charge in Freelancer, as wings and wings of fighters descend upon the alien base.
6. The first time I warped in EVE.
7. The Clans descend for the first time as the invasion of the Inner Sphere began (Mechwarrior 2).
