There are some scenes throughout the series which have just begged to be immortalized. Whether it's a shrewd and original quirk in the game, or an unforgettable moment, or just an awesome line much-parodied, they deserve their own page. Please send your suggestions to Cidolfas!

Sadly, I generally do not have the time or resources to grab any more Famous Moments. If you can do so, though, please do! You can use emulators or TV cards to grab them (no, I will not send you any software; try Zophar's Domain). Here's the list of Wanted Famous Moments:
