12. Killing The Nemesis – Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

He’s stalked you non-stop throughout the game, and he’s been shot, burned, blown up and melted in acid, but he still won’t take the hint. So in the last section of the game, after you’ve blown up his final form with a massive laser weapon, the Nemesis is still dragging his sorry !*$% after you.

The game gives you the option to leave or finish him off, and any self-respecting player seizes the moment to finally put him out of your misery. Jill grabs a magnum and blasts what remains, capping it off with an awesome / groan-worthy final line.

It’s a moment of intense satisfaction, having finally bested the unstoppable monster and surviving Raccoon City.
