Max Payne has some beautiful writing and good narration, I remember:

But dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you're not looking. The sun went down with practiced bravado. Twilight crawled across the sky, laden with foreboding.

"Treachery and doom! My brother will unleash a great evil! Britannia is in peril!"
"Welcome to Chuck Yeager's Air Combat"

As already mentioned, Vae Victis!
Powerslave/Exhumed intro on PC. It starts with a wimpy laugh showing lobotomy’s logo and then right after that *** skull thing shows up and goes MUHAHAHAHAHA!
Random fart noises in Atari 2600 games, usually those meant you did something wrong.
Lots and lots of fighting game sounds and voices

I like spotting sound samples from games in other places - I've heard the rusty door open / close sounds from FarCry in countless movies and TV shows. And of course the various monster groans from DOOM - some of the imp sounds are often used for camels 😀

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

Yes, this is interesting and I have done the same after I watched a documentary on the Wilhelm scream years ago.

NES Contra level end jingle. Doom baron of hell acknowledge sound. And somehow I just love Carolco intro sound.

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
