Top 10 Boss Fights

FF IV.. Dancing Calcobrena Dolls *shudder*

And afterwards when Golbez attacks and Rydia saves you.. wow, warm fuzzy feelings from that one Although my game was bugged once where no matter what, Golbez would always kill Cecil. I had to reload a save game from a few hours earlier to fix it.. you can also screw that part up if Kain jumps early enough in the fight with Golbez so he doesn't get hit by 'Hold'.

not quite sure if space sims count here, but anyway.

freespace2: pretty much any encounter of anything bigger than an enemy's corvette, the enormous dreadnouts in particular (in contrast to most other space sims, in FS1/2 capital ships have quite an anti-figher defence)

and especially memorable to me, those missions in the gass nebula where radar use is hindered - imagine you're patrolling your route blindly in the 'fog', just flying by the nav point, then you start picking a week signal on the radar close to your course, you have your orders to look at it, so you approach, closer, closer... and then.. you realise the truth -- the closest parts of the monster slowly start to shape in front of you, now you clearly see all those cannon and launcher towers, while the rest of the behemoth is still a dark mass in the gaseous mist (which doesn't comfort you as your are perfectly aware of the proportions of the beast).. in this short moment the sense of menace is damn real.. and then, oh well, hell breaks loose
