Has absolutely nothing to do with "iconic" so not that.

aaaaaaa of course
It's either that or just sad, but I didn't want to slap it into your face.
Now this is a good choice people. You pretty much know something will jump through a window in any horrorish game after Resident Evil.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
So many bad choices in this thread. But then again, some people don't know what iconic really means.
Excellent choice.
Where is your Iconic Video Game Picture?

Eh, most of them has already been mention in this thread but there aren't many. Most noticeably the RE-picture I quoted, the SMB 1-1 picture and the picture of Cloud standing infront of Shinra HQ. Those are iconic.
I can hear that awesome tune getting played in my head, clear as day. Used to have it as a ringtone. It sits proudly alongside a lot of logo boot screens that I fondly recall: Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Dreamcast, Capcom 90s intro, QSound logo, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Konami's Metal Gear Solid startup with Policenauts ending theme complete with /swoon.
Realistically too many to list, from GBA to PSP to GameCube and back. We usually take it all for granted until those things are no longer heard and the absence isn't felt until we hear it once more 5-10 years down the road.
One more for the old folk:
Delicious. I think this is the same one I ripped and use on my phone now.

Sometimes I can't believe I saw lots of cabinets with these games when I was a pudgy little kid.One more for the old folk:
Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, World Heroes 2 Jet, Samurai Shodown IV, Primal Rage... sigh... I miss the arcades.

Essentially, what people are looking for are official screenshots/artwork that we all recognize from our favorite publications when these games were first announced, right?I don't think everyone knows what iconic means.

Can you spoiler tag images btw? I've got an FFX image lined up.
Description:
Tidus and Yuna kissing in the lake
edit: That image came out bigger than I expected. What's the best way of quickly resizing images you don't own?

Some liberal interpretation of the word "iconic" in this thread.
Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninjas? Catherine?

Also I'm cheating, because this is not a picture, and not iconic in the way that not many people have played it (it is iconic to me though), but this is I think one of the most awesome cutscenes ever that can't be summarize with just a picture

Also, the ending of The Conduit 2, you will say wow

*CLAPPING* Couldn't say it better -_-
Streets of Rage: Title Screen
Final Fantasy 6: REMOVED SINCE ALREADY POSTED >_<
Let's also not forget >_< in FF7, the Dead Midgar Zolom outside the cave too. I carefully picked this screen to hide the full awesomeness and avoid spoiling...
Parasite Eve: I think I was 14 when I played this
Rat transformation, ahh the memories...
Vagrant Story: Man would I love a remake >_< Original V.A.T.S. system in a game, Fallout 3 I am talking to you...
PoP 1989: pick a frame
Another World
Enough from me >_<

Well fuck me. This just reminded me of playing through this game on my cousin's megadrive years ago, since I specifically remember getting stuck at what I'm pretty certain was this exact spot. I'm pretty sure I spent about a day trying to find different routes and yet I kept coming back to this stupid cylinder thing, so I gave up and never went back. What the fuck was the deal with this?
