What the most memorable moment from any video game?

Would you kindly..
What makes thela5 work so well is that the twist works because of the format.
It wasn't mind control of the main character. It was mind control on the person holding the controller, and it WORKED.

Lives, all mortal lives, expire
Souls go to their doom in flame
ForevermoreThere are great examples in this thread of great games from years past. But from more recent games, everyone who has played BG3 to its close (or near it) will likely agree with me. It was an amazing buildup and amazing scene when it happened.
Fools. Fools! how hard you have fought.
Brave, brave... But it's all been for naught
True souls, who couldn't be bought.
Doomed.
Detected.
And caught.

Thrilling for the time and very memorable.
It was Afterburner installed into a bespoke cabinet at Fremantle Timezone.
The servos were directly connected to the flight-control stick, without any inputs of what waw occuring in the gameplay. This meant you could be upside down even when flying level in-game, and you would have to bank and dive to level-out the game during quiet parts or at the end of stages. No chance of redout, but the harness was torso only and uncomfortable for longer times upside down.
This was created as a 'hack', probably by LAI engineers, and unauthorised by SEGA. I've met a couple of these Perth game-engineers since, and they are true pioneers. So much so, that SEGA took interest and flew out it's own engineer, Masaki Matsuno, to take a look, which inspired the creation of the R360.
Novel, but the lack of interconnect with gameplay made the experience clunky. Only played it twice.

The ending of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. It pisses me off to this day.

It was in assassin's creed 2 when the precursor address the character in the Animus. You realize at that point they they knew. Mind blowing.

Honestly the thing that sticks with me more is the scene after defeating the final boss.
The game just does such an incredible job of starting with a local problem and then gradually, believably making the stakes bigger and bigger until you have to kill gods. And then when you finally do it, you remember that all of that was just to solve your first problem, a problem so local that it exists only in your character's skull. It instantaneously gave me the scope of everything I'd accomplished. One of the greatest pieces of media I've ever experienced. I wish it had been a movie so I could do it again and again.

Zelda: Link to the Past, going through the lost woods. I can still hear the music.
