Considering that the video game industry is now over fifty years old (you know, if you count Pong as the point where it all started), then it’s really not surprising that it’s given us gamers plenty of big moments that have stuck in our collective memories. But have you ever sat down to wonder which ones are the most iconic? We certainly have, and it’s for this reason that we’ve decided to bring you today’s big list. Every entry is something that’s happened in one of our favourite games that has stuck with us long after the credits have rolled. They can be as small as a single quote or as big as the death of a beloved character, but what matters, is that they’ve stayed on our minds and in our hearts in the years since their respective games’ release. Here are the 101 Most Unforgettable Moments in Gaming History.

Thanks so much for watching, everyone! Which iconic gaming moments are unforgettable to you? 🎮
'We've seen a lot of tragic stories here at Triple-jump' *SHAAAAAAUUUUUN! Sorry that is all I ever hear when I see that game now.
The identity of the origam-SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUN!
Never played any Final Fantasy game ever. Are they all separate from each other story-wise? Like could you start with say 10 then play 7 etc?
Tidus is pronounced
Tie-dus
Not
Tee-dus
🤷♂️
There was no choice for a starter in Pokemon Red and Blue. I see turtle? I pick turtle!
So the cake is a lie?
I was stuck on Through the Fire and Flames in GH3 for ages. The problem wasn't even the whole some. It was the opening segment. The rest of the song was almost the same as the previous difficulty. I ultimately did it on the hardest difficulty but NO IT WAS NOT WORTH IT!
Gta4 – 2008
Not sure about adding Turkey to the equation but i've had Peanut Butter and Cinnamon Toast Crunch sandwiches before and those are really good.
😄👍
Devil May Cry 3's over the top opening cut scene shows Dante at his stylish best killing demons with pool balls while chowing down on a slice a pizza it's the perfect opening for an action game.
Sequence breaking Metroid Fusion on accident, falling thru a floor and landing at the feet of a Cryogenic suspended Ridley. Scared the plops outta me. 😮😂
What is this? Are the gangs voices going to be bouncing around in my dreams, narrating my falling into a warm bath, again? 🎉😅😊
The white phosphorus scene in Spec Ops is worthy of being on the list but I’d heard about it too many times before playing the game. The scene that’s stuck with me in the game is when a crowd of civilians are angry and trying to get through them without killing anyone. You absolutely can shoot people to get through but I morally felt so wrong that I absolutely couldn’t. I’ve never experienced that level of guilt from a video game.
You guys should do a video on Top 100 Worst Moments in gaming history.
Anyone notice that the Metal Gear Mk III could have breezed through that microwave corridor and opened the door without Snake? The only contribution Snake gave is being a decoy for the bowling balls as the Mk III uploaded the virus. So … that's something.
Nice list – but really missed a moment from Nier automata there 🙁
Love all the effort put into this video.
My personal most memorable moment has to be the giant scary eel in Mario 64.
I'll just say Zelda, Journey and Resident Evil are beyond overrated.
Great list.
My most iconic moment in gaming is walking around the RPD in Resident Evil 3 jumping at every corner waiting for Nemesis to jump out.
Oh yeah, here we go, list time.
Can you say the name of the game before the entry in future videos? The spoiler warning for a video referencing 101 games with no way of knowing what the next entry is means we'd have to skip the entire video just to avoid one game being spoiled
I'm a grown ass 35 year old man and I still looked away during the Moon segment from Majora's Mask 😢
Wow fat shaming Big Smoke? And I thought Triple Jump was progressive
Quick reminder sephiroth did not kill aeris. Genova did. All sephiroth ever does is get emo burn a town, fall in a, river of planet cum and try and get all the other failed clones to blow up the world for him
Yes! Bioshock received the top spot! Would you kindly not shit on this post.
In my opinion the most memorable part of gta v is actually an Easter egg in which you can see 3 characters riding bmx’s near grove street. One is dressed like cj, another looks and dressed like big smoke and another looking like rider from San Andreas, it’s relatively unknown apparently so there you go anyone who didn’t already know
I didn't see a barrel roll 😢
Im surprised that liu kangs death in the opening of deadly alliance wasnt on the list
Having no nostalgia for the NES, I had no idea about the Zelda quote. We were too busy playing the likes of Manic Miner etc here in the UK at the time. Americans go gaga over Zelda though, you would think no other games systems existed the way they go on about Nintendo and Zelda.
I had no idea this list was being curated and was being supplied by fan suggestions.
If i had, i would have suggested the ride into mexico in RDR, so I'm really happy to see it here.
Jaw dropping stuff as you crest the hill and the vista of Mexico greets you.
There is no way you are 30 something's. All 3 of you look 25 max.
Love that idea.. but don't want to watch it…would like to have a complete list of games with the minutes in the comments to avoid spoilers and just saw the games that we played and the one that need to be played to understand.
Dom finding Maria is one of only two times a video game almost made me cry
….we don't talk about Through the Fire and Flames. My hands ACHE just thinking about that shit. I love the song, hell, I love DragonForce in general. But that song is UNGODLY HARD.
Kinda surprised you didn't go for "Your precious Moon!" from Portal 2, such a high tensity moment that lets you feel brilliant for thinking of portalling to space
Ashton is the best one because she pronounces SNES correctly.
