I would choose the scenes where you break into the govenor's mansion,
struggle with Shinetop, and finally meet Gov. Marley, only to come over
all shy, "Ixrl,"  "Qrsl,"  "Flffr?".   :)
I also liked the scene where Elaine gets kidnapped, with Guybrush's vow
to save her, and the over-the-top romantic music combining really well.
A special mention also has to go out to the facial close-ups in SoMI, as
they were the best graphics of the series, IMO.  I can still picture the
smiling visage of Mancombe Seepgood anytime I close my eyes, and the end
shot of the 'happy' couple was also memorable.

>more than many excellent scenes appeared in The Dig.

Good choice.  Very reminiscent of the Wizard of Oz.  I loved Loom, but
the crystal city is the only part I can clearly remember now...

>MI 3 - the pirate song.  My brother adores it.

Has to be the Battle of the Banjos for me.  Just thinking about that one
makes me want to play the game through again.  The first sequences of
the game were excellent as well.

Sanitarium:
The way you build up the memories of your own childhood by talking to
the poor critters of the village was really well done.  The whole
recollection of what was going on with you and your sister was
surprisingly moving.

GK3:
I didn't like the game as a whole, but the Serpent Rouge sequences
really had me enthralled, and made me wish the rest of the game was like
that.

HHGttG:
The babel fish puzzle.  ;)
