1) The moment your car lands on a group of pedestrians, taking the first guys head clean off, before hitting an unsuspecting woman full on, resulting in a 'BONUS FOR ARTISTIC IMPRESSION' (CARMAGEDDON 2)
2) The moment you see an FBI car heading for your general direction, shortly before you open fire with your M16, hear a few
3) The moment you aim your nuclear missile at a group of four enemy power plants and a war factory, and click the left mouse button (RED ALERT 2)
4) The moment you skillfully guide your redeemer rocket into a room full of victims and click the left mouse button, resulting in the inevitable 'ULTRA KILL' (UNREAL TOURNAMENT)
or perhaps something else?....

I would say unloading a nuke, weather storm and psychic dominator onto a single foe is the ultimate gaming moment. It is just total destruction.
The fun came out of realising how good it was.
Nothing can beat it.
My most impressive moments have to be on UT. There are so many great times that I can't recall the very best one, but here are as few.
1) Defending a base in Assault single-handedly, as all my team-mates had been killed. I got every single one of the incoming enemy AI (masterful) with my trusty Flak cannon and notched up a well-deserved Monster Kill.
2) I love sniping, and my record is achieving four consecutive Monster Kills through head-shots alone; fabulous.
3) Running back to my base with the flag in a CTF match with four AI bots on my heels and no support from my human team-mates. Started out with full health and shield belt, and finally back-pedalled into the base to win the match with just 6 life remaining.
So the moral of the story is like the Robert the Bruce inspired saying;
if at first you don't succeed suck harder.
