I've also got to throw out any night missions in X-COM. Turn based terror, I just started waiting for the site to end up in the sun before going for it after a while. Or the first time you intercepted a battleship and it one shots your interceptor from maximum range. Damn.
Or the first time you take the hover power suit onto the battlefield, rocking a heavy plasma and kicking ass and taking names.

So many great games.
When I look at space simulations, I'm still just a huge fan of Wing Commander, then the X-Wing series, then Free Space.
And the first X-Com game was awesome, When you did the first couple of missions, you thought it would be easy as you blasted those little Gray aliens, but they kept ramping up the aliens to terrifying levels, like the ones that laid eggs in you, or the ones the hovered over you and killed you. Or the ones who would take over your mind.
I never used the plasma based weapons, because Elerium was really tough to come by in that game. The worst though was the first time the Aliens invaded your base.
