Half Life. The resonance cascade was one thing, but more of a what the hell is happening, this is super weird kind of moment.

But the single best moment is when the tentacle smashes through the glass and carries that scientist kicking and screaming out the window. I was fucking terrified. I remember trying to go back on myself, sneaking around and failing, absolutely shitting myself as you have to go round and round the inside of the blast chamber with the three tentacles gunning for you.

Brilliant game design. It was the first non-cutscene event I'd ever seen. So so cool and really immersed you in the story. No longer is it a run down the hallway guns blazing to the next epic cutscene. The big danger is happening to the space you are in. It's difficult to describe, as before that games were almost simplistic and didn't carry your emotions.
