101 Most Unforgettable Moments In Gaming History

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.

[@phoenixfaze1]

For me the most unforgettable has got to be Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid. Having to change controller ports so he couldn't read your mind was next level clever at the time. As was him being able to tell you what was on your memory card too

[@corylyonsmusic]

I remember playing Halo 3 with my best friend when we were younger and that final mission where you whip the warthog around had both of us losing our minds. Such an awesome ending to one of the best games of all time

[@christianlorre]

I don't have much experience gaming but when I was a little kid and played super Mario 3 and going through world 5, the first time I found out there was most of the world is in the clouds... that shocked me so much. Nobody told me, and the first time I had the skills to do that was a magical moment.

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Oh yeah, Super Mario Bros. 3 had So Many different things that i thought were so cool when i first learned about or saw them, like Giant World, the Tanooki suit, warp whistles, the inventory slots, all the new costumes, Mario 3 was special. Super Mario World on SNES had an area that i thought was awesome the first time i found it, the forest zone was something i had only ever seen on TV during an episode of Hangin With Mr.Cooper, one of the characters in the show was playing SNES and it was in one of the forest zone lvls. A year later we finally got SNES with Mario All Stars+ Mario World and like 2 months after that i found it and thought it was the coolest thing to interact with the new enemies and be in the same area i saw on a TV show. It was a simpler time 😄👍

[@PowuhToSeven]

​@@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269 I always forget how hard world 8 is. But such a lovely game

​@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269 your story literally just took me back! Simpler times for sure. ❤

[@freshlysqueezed2099]

Once again one of my favorite gaming channels easily hands down. Hope you guys continue to grow the channel.

[@joshjohnson6891]

I dunno, I'd say Super Metroid's big unforgettable moment was the final few moments of the game. "The Baby" begins to drain Samus, realizes who she is and hurries away, only to come back in the Mother Brain fight to save Samus and drain Mother Brain of all of her power, sacrificing itself in the process. That was some great 16-bit storytelling right there and I'd say it was a much more satisfying and unforgettable ending than just showing Samus without her suit on at the end of the original Metroid 😅

[@patricknl7845]

I have to say that this is my absolute favourite game ever. I remember buying the game that came together with the book with all the information to the game. I just loved the sound and the atmosphere of the game. Absolutely epic. At least for that time 😅

[@paleo-bites-podcast]

The first time a roller coaster of yours crashes in Roller Coaster Tycoon...

[@Ivotas]

Fun fact about Roman's invitations. There was an easy way around them without suffering any consequences. Just accept his invitation and after you end the call, call him right back and cancel. He will always understand and your relationship stays the same.

[@thewolfofmikawa8535]

Not gonna lie, Sarah's death in The Last of Us made me not play the game for like a month. Something about how well scripted and realistic her death was made me check out early. I later finished the game but damn,talk about emotions.

[@michaelthomas6108]

I almost forgot I was playing a game at that point. Was like watching a movie.

[@mjdf122]

I can understand top 5 or top 10 but 101 now that’s dedication thank you Triple Jump

[@synthetic20]

This list is a really cool look at gaming history. The only moment that I'm stunned about is Final Fantasy X. A kiss is more iconic than learning that the summoner is sacrificed? That entire sequence is one of the best cutscenes I can even remember, and it's the emotional fulcrum of the story. I'm shocked that it didn't at least get a mention. I would be happy to see another list like this though. I definitely feel like there would be at least 101 more moments that would be worthy of this kind of spotlight. The final story reveal in To the Moon, The final transformation of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and the appearance of junimos for the first time in Stardew Valley would up there for me.

[@slickloose8795]

I would also argue that the stupid Tidus laugh was made more unforgettable thanks to Internet memes. I suppose it's how you look at the question.

[@Josh.C88]

@@slickloose8795true lol. That is one of my fondest memories cause of how ridiculous it was to my 12 yr old self. And also learning that Yuna is supposed to die had me scared to continue the game 😢

[@rosecity_chris]

The Elephant mission from It Takes Two will always be one of the most memorable moments in gaming I've ever had. That game was such a great time, with a lot of inventive, beautiful set pieces.

[@dobostorta1941]

That moment in Conker’s BFD where a Great Mighty “villain” starts to sing and throws some questionable stuff at you.

[@RamblingsOfAJackass]

One of the best gaming moments for me was in Final Fantasy 4 (corrected). I played it as Final Fantasy 2 way way back on the SNES. In the final battle, the entire party is on the brink of defeat (1 HP each). When all hope looked lost, you received help from every character who had joined your party throughout the entire game.

[@AlanFehr]

That's FFIV 😊 5 wasn't released in North America until many years later.

[@rustytanks]

One of my favourite gaming moments was in CoD Black Ops, it happened in the "Roof Tops, Numbers" mission in Kowloon China, it wasn't about the gameplay, but the background music that was played, simply loved it.

[@LuccianoNova]

The 2nd map pack had kowloon on MP. Use to like that map alot

[@michaelanderson6394]

Honestly, a list like this could help bolster the argument that video games are art. The fact that we have more than 2 hours of content here, detailing iconic moments in games from across the years, that leave an impact as big as any movie, TV show or song, it really shows what the medium can do and the kind of impact they can leave when done exceptionally well.

[@carlgriff]

I’d say that argument has long gone now. It’s like arguing if cinema is art. I think it’s widely acknowledged that video games are art. However much someone wants to value it as an art form is the bigger question!

[@kriscynical]

That is such a non-issue at this point. Beyond all of the merits of videogames themselves, game design is a major at most _ART SCHOOLS._ Even if you don't major in game design, the big studios go to art schools to recruit computer animation and illustration students every single year. How anybody could argue that something taught in art schools isn't art is beyond me at this point, honestly.

[@michaell7778]

My boy Lavitz dying in the Legend of Dragoon absolutely would've made my list but you guys still did a bang up job. I can think of quite a few more if you ever feel like doing a "101 more" list anytime soon.

Delighted to see Deadly Premonition represented with a moment. ❤

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

Most overrated game ever made.

[@BradYoung87]

@Jarl Whiterun while acknowledging and even appreciating your opinion can I ask you approximate age and why you say so? It was the first 80 (yes 80) dollar game I bought in Ontario Canada with our wild inflation rates on games at the time, I was a year behind the hype train on ocarina, barely knew it existed. Again it was 2000 and I was 13.

[@Tokoreos]

Me who's forgotten a majority of these, but will probably remember all by the end

[@qactustick]

Not so 'unforgettable' if you forget about them though, eh?

[@gethspectre66]

Seeing HD for the 1st time and realising the horses in red dead actually left hoof prints BLEW MY MIND. Bit of a step up from the 8bit I started gaming with

[@partofthetribe3277]

Loved going to Canada in the stick of truth. Loved everything in that game honestly. Great game.

[@Jessejesselewis]

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.

[@mgiebus1869]

So true

[@drc6418]

One of my favorite game moments was in Metal Gear when the weight limit on the elevator made you realize that you were not in the elevator by your self then the invisible Ninjas reveal themselves.

[@DamnedSilly]

Around 17:00 the hubris of referring to anyone other than the hero and claiming "...that sword must be compensating for something..." is legendary.

One of the moments I love is when in Pong your paddle touches the white square and you hear that "plink" sound ... Epic

[@GodKnowsWhatIsInHere]

One of the most memorable moments for me was [that moment] in Doki Doki Literature Club. Playing through the whole game blind thinking it's just a fun dating sim visual novel type game is really something when that moment suddenly hits you in the head like a sledgehammer. And then everything else following that is just icing on the cake.

[@markkodzoaziakou8532]

Vaas' speech about the definition of insanity in Far cry 3 is the best moment in gaming history ever

[@dirtysnakesnu]

Bringing up portal only for companion cube - was waiting for 'the cake is a lie' or the song. Good video, and enough things I felt obligated to skip past and add the games to my list of games to play

[@Jawby]

Bioshock Infinite is a work of art. So many good moments.

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

Final Fantasy VI has one of the most notable worsenings of an excellent line from a more modern localization. While superior in almost every other way, the modern translation of the Emperor's last words, "The world is about to learn the meaning of fear." used to be the vastly superior impotent plea to Kefka, "There will be no one left to worship us!"

[@AlanFehr]

What?? Really? I have a printed copy of Lena Darkstar's fan translation, and I don't remember that. Now I wanna unbury it and review. ❤

was kinda hoping for Cayde-6's death in Destiny 2 Forsaken as that was a super iconic and unforgettable moment for most of, if not all of the D2 fanbase, but that list was amazing regardless! hope you guys are able to continue to make these types of lists in the future!

[@neilholmes8200]

I'll never forget the first time i found myself really invested in the characters in a game. I was playing System Shock 2 and loved the little stories you'd follow in the auido recordings. You follow Delacroix for most of the game and she seems like a great character. I was devastated when Shodan betrayed her to her death.

[@MarcoLoewenherz]

So many of these are totally on point. You've gained another sub.🖤

[@americansuperdad5769]

That's crazy. I was wondering if the Revan reveal was going to be on here. That was answered quickly!

[@bearmountain9990]

Really, you're going to do us like that BAP? Back-to-back RDR2 and FFVII, the two most heart-shattering moments in gaming history! Had you not squeezed a Zelda moment in there before The Last of Us, it would've been THREE! But seriously, amazing list, keep up the absolutely epic work!

[@lithiasaur8219]

Such an amazing list, guys. SO full of nostalgia and gaming moments I shared. Plus that 'Azure Dreams' in whoever was playing Metal Gear was KILLING ME. I finally found the only other human to play that game.

[@partofthetribe3277]

[@qazhr]

My ten most unforgettable moments in gaming: 10 . Jean Descole is Hershel Layton Brother (Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy) 9. Stanulerins ending ( the Stanley parable ultra deluxe) 8. Your parter is shot and killed ( beat cop) 7. Cole Phelps death ( LA Noire) 6. Goldfels was already dead (Orwell) 5. The first time you relive the moment of death ( return of the obra dinn) 4. Episode 47: lawn wax ( you don’t know jack 2011) 3. The death of Emile Chaillon( Valent Hearts) 2. Giving up your life to save hers ( the last day of June ) 1. The internet get flooded with a virus (hypnospace outlaw)

[@BlackyBlackerson]

Great list, folks. When you named Metal Gear Solid 4, I thought for sure you’d mention the fistfight with Liquid Ocelot at the end. After all of the guns and gadgets and sneaking around, this slow paced bout of fisticuffs was the last thing one would expect, and the music made it over the top dramatic. Stuck with me for a while.

[@ytcomment4242]

Outstanding list. Obviously a lot of other great moments that didn't make the cut, but what can you do. I would have voted for the Green Hill Zone, which was incredibly fun but also a mind-blowing tech demo, really showing off what the new Sega could do (that Nintendon't). And while it's not everyone's favorite twist, I still remember getting MGS2 on launch day and realizing I wouldn't be playing as Snake for most of the game.

[@ciotay5469]

Omg yes! I remember being hyped about the game and was so disappointed when I started playing as Raiden 😊

[@clarathebandicute]

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.

[@hitachimiku6998]

I would love to see one of these Triplejump videos in the old Vidiots style. Still my favourite era of Ben and Peter. Pure, uncensored banter. Perfecto ❤

[@jamesianhutchison1165]

It's a fairly middling game, but the moment in Rage when you first open the door of your Ark and step out into the world. Seeing the moon hanging in the sky, nearly cracked in half and with chunks floating around it is a great payoff for a pretty solid opening cinematic.

[@louiseogden1296]

Favourite personal moments for me in gaming: - Booting up Lemmings for the first time in almost thirty years after having found it on the Microsoft store. I also remember back when we played it as kids we made up dirty lyrics to the catchy tunes in it. Let's just say that even today I can't hear She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain without wincing... - The sad time when my cousin narrowly escaped a maniac with a flame-thrower in her school (yeah, this was crazy real for Britain! -- there were a couple of mass shootings at that time which forced the government to implement very strict gun control). We were playing Superfrog, a cartoonish 2D platformer on the Amiga and in one level the wee amphibian has a flame-thrower. My cousin insisted it was squirting orange juice and making the enermies all sticky. My sister and I understood and turned the game off so as to avoid triggering her any further. - Asking my dad for memory expansion for my Amiga 500 for Christmas. Catching him later loading a demo of the Elvira game where you could see her melons when she jumped, because the demo needed 1 MB of RAM to run properly. - Watching my mum and nattering with her in my bedroom while she played a game called Squigs (similar to Columns) on the Amiga. Loading a cracked copy of Sim City up so she could play it only to find that ratbag brother of my friend who'd copied me the disk had put porn on it instead. We switched it off immediately before she got upstairs thank goodness. - Gaining a whole new group of friends after looking for Gabriel Knight hints and tips on the old PC Gamer UK forums in the first few weeks of my third year at uni. By the time I graduated the following summer, I'd become utterly obsessed with Baldurs Gate, had my first ever cybersex session (this was 2000-01, so this was very much a novelty for both of us) then had real sex together a month or two later, then split up just before my finals because we weren't really on the same wavelength. - Starting to play WoW. It got me through a dark period of my life simply by distracting me from other issues, and years later after ditching it and coming back years later when I had both the time and money to play again, my husband, dying of cancer, asked me to get a pink ostrich like Sheldon Cooper had on his favourite TV show, Big Bang Theory. He didn't start playing at all, but at least he got to see me riding the ostrich. - Walking into Dublin in AC Valhalla. I love this game because I'm English (with an Irish mother) and so roaming from Hadrian's Wall to Winchester (not far from where I live now) was somethjng more special than simply pixels on a screen. But the Dublin bit was special because my first job out of uni was there and it was the time I was most like Eivor IRL -- exploring a new world for the first time as an adult, building a new life for myself and exploring to my heart's content. I literally cried :). - Winning my first game of Fortnite. I was hooked on Battle Royale and am even playing ranked on Apex Legends (because people play more strategically on ranked so you're not wiped the minute you hit the ground but make better decisions about positioning yourself and gearing up). - Learning to play with keyboard and mouse on FPS. I have very floppy wrists, so although I'd make a good badminton player, I find it really hard to get to grips with the Wiimote or anything like Valorant that requires precision aim. It sounds really counterintuitive, but controllers feel more solid and because they're slightly more weighted, they are easier to control without slipping and sliding everywhere. I'd like to get much better but I feel more comfortable using the mouse to walk around like in WoW than using it to aim an FPS gun.

The Broken Neck Ghost in Fatal Frame. There’s a lot of great moments in those games but that ghost really stuck with me. Especially the reveal.

Love your work guys ❤️

[@PowuhToSeven]

Love all the effort put into this video.

Mike Tyson's Punch-out was the original Dark Souls. You had to learn to recognize the pattern, and then counter it - we just weren't quite at the point of having full environments in the NES days, but it's clearly the predecessor to Dark Souls.

[@evannewcomb6041]

Ngl, when I heard Shepard's death I was assuming it was the Modern Warfare 2 finale and not the Mass Effect 2 intro

[@stephenjacewicz4594]

Crossing into Mexico in RDR, The Giraffes in The Last Of Us, the suprise bomb in CODMW, "Would You Kindly" from Bioshock are some greats.

[@leighkenyon3090]

Love your work Triplejump!

Some other moments for me: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. No spoilers on this one. If you haven't played it, just play it. It's 3 hours long and worth every penny. The moment is near the end and you have to cross a river. After crossing it, I wept openly for 5 minutes and I can't go into detail to this day without tearing up. Do yourself a favor and PLAY IT. Xion's death I'm Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Not only does she die, all memories of her from all of her friends are gone. Since she was my favorite character, this made me cry. Xion's appearance in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. Near the end of the game, as Sora traverses The World That Never Was, Xion briefly appears on a staircase and Sora asks who she is. A single tear rolls down his cheek and she is gone just at quickly as she appeared. Square just jamming the knife in my heart farther and farther. Xion's remembrance in Kingdom Hearts 3. When Lea (formerly Axel) and Kairi set off to learn how to wield the keyblade together, Lea says Kairi reminds him of someone he can't write remember, at which point Xion classes over the visage of Kairi, again with knife in my heart. ( I adore Xion)

This was absolutely fantastic 🎉 I'm listening while at work

[@0leander410]

Need to add Ultima Online, when Lord British (literally the games creator, Richard Garriot) had his character killed with a glitch in the middle of a public ceremony. He was typically invincible, but someone exploited a glitch and stabbed the game’s king to death. Not only wasn’t it scripted, it wasn’t supposed to be possible, and hundreds of people were there watching live.

[@jadynfey7743]

"Its Teedus!", he says followed by "Eon" in a game with voice acting that says the word Aeon several dozen times. LOL

[@Doomcheese]

Can you bring back the "what it means to me" series. It was a really good show and I got to see a more personal side of the people that make content I enjoy.

[@mktrill]

26:16 thanks for the they might be giants reference

[@Apollyon214]

No Russian in MW2 was pretty crazy and all, but the betrayal and death of Ghost and Roach definitely sticks in my mind more so. “Do not trust Sheperd! I say again, do not trust Sheperd!” Man……Ghost.

[@kingnoob7311]

Y'all give me so much nostalgia from early whatculture gaming days, and Ben talking about Adamantoise from final fantasy 15. Possibly the funniest, moment that channel will ever have. Thank you Ben.

Just found your channel and really enjoy your content.

[@LunarWingCloud]

*****Spoilers for Nier:Automata***** Did... Did I miss something? I didn't see the death sequence of 2B, which you play through the entire viral contamination sequence of, anywhere in this video. It's going to be in my mind for forever

[@mattysey]

Well my Alexa’s response to Ashton’s question about wiping out all life was ‘I’m not sure about that’

[@jamesborb4255]

No books. No wisdom. Just you, fratello mio. Brb gonna replay the whole assassin's creed first 4 games

[@blainy-o93]

Forget the Tidus (not Teedus, fight me) and Yuna kiss, the most vital and pivotal moment in Final Fantasy X is as follows: "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

[@benhaney9629]

Damn the OG Resident Evils, especially 2… Those graphics really hold up in their own way. Incredible art direction.

[@piper2534]

I love you guys. Thanks for the great content. You cheer my days up in a dark age of the worlds decline.

[@Misterobozo1]

16:28 I remember getting angry as I had buffed Aerith with so much power thinking I would always have her to keep my team safe and healed during battle. And when THAT happened I rage quit and restarted from the last savepoint thinking I could have done something different to get a different outcome. And oh man did I miss her for the rest of the game.

[@michaelkeller5927]

Her death didn't really hit me. I was like oh well I'll just use a Pheonix down on her and I couldn't understand why I couldn't bring her back.

[@AlanFehr]

As someone who has hardly played any FPS games in his 35 years of gaming, I skipped through most of this list. I remember reading in an issue of Nintendo Power that you could play as Samus without her suit on. My reaction was "Oh. Neat.". Iconic? Sure, but not mind blowing. I was way more impacted by the finale of Super Metroid. The death of the baby Metroid was stupidly 😢 and my sister had nightmares about the escape sequence for years.

[@Boardsksyou]

Man, I think one of the most memorable moments for me was actually a flash game called Motherload where you are mining N alien planet for minerals. Basically a digging Sim. But if you had the free time take it all the way to the bottom there's a hell like place where you fight Satan.

[@BOBINDUN]

DUDE I REMEMBER THIS. I couldn't beat the game legit so I played it hacked and I was shook

[@handleunavailable]

Just started, but Aerith's death and Shepard betraying you in the original MW2 have to be on here.

[@partofthetribe3277]

Pumped to spend the next two hours this way!!!!

[@DoorsInTheLabyrinth]

yeah, Breath of the Wild has so much that is just amazing, and that opening sequence sets the stage better than anything I've ever seen. However, my favorite moment of that game was finding the Lord of the Mountain for the first time. It was magical and felt sort of sacred, like I shouldn't have even been seeing it. That I didn't find any clues about it until afterwards made it more special. As if I was trying to piece together what it was I just witnessed. I can't remember ever having felt quite that much in awe from a game. Also, there's a great Hobbit easter egg in the first Drakan game on the PC. Fortress of goblin/frog people. Secret door, leads to a big cavern. In the middle, a lake, with a small island. Only one monster in the room (on the island) and a sword named Sting

[@revwroth3698]

For your out-of-game list i suggest the moment we all saw the ten minutes of gameplay from TOTK. my jaw literally dropped when they revealed the new Fuse ability.

[@JazzyBongo]

Agro 'dying' in shadow of the colossus is the most heart-breaking horse death

Max Payne 3 Airport Hallway Shootout. Still gives me Goosebumps to this today.

How can Link waking up in BOTW be on this list, and not stepping out of Vault 101 in Fallout 3?
