Your favorite enemies of all time

[BustaMike]

My vote is for the little ghost babies with knives from Silent Hill 1. Those things were creeeeeeepy.

The mastermind guy from Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic. After weeks of playing my way across three planets, I found his invisible space fortress, battled my way through it to his throneroom, and then went one-on-one with him in psy-combat, destroying him with little difficulty. It felt soooooo good.

Of course, there was the little matter of the self-destruction device he triggered as he was dying. Ieeee, run away, run away.

I've said it once, and I'll say it many times more:

Most Annoying Voice Actor, EVAR!

Miriam.

There are none that give me more pleasure to destroy than Miriam. After a while I didnt bother to attempt peace with her because she would always provoke me.

The Guardian!!!

Except in Ultima Ascension, since, like everything else, he was ruined by a hurried, second-rate plot.

[NeOmega]

Bandits in Baldur's Gate with Black Talon Elites as back ups, had ice arrows.

manic miner... one of my first games. i think i played it on sinclair's ZX spectrum with 16kB (that's KILObytes, not megabytes!!!) sometime around 1984. believe it or not, but the animation above was the real animation, just enlarged a lot ... notice the detailed facial expressions of willy the miner. not even HL2 gets so much details

but now that you mention it: the mad telephones and some other 'units' with awsome AI (move up, move down) where cool enemies in manic miner.
scan of the package:

There was one level towards the end of the game I couldn't do as an 8 year old. I downloaded an emulated version a couple of years back to play through the game all the way.

Akuma's 1st appearance in Super SF2

The 3 blind tentacle claws in Half-life.

Manic Miner was one of my first game too. I played the C64 conversion, so I've never tried it on it's true platform.

Man...that was 1984

I'm starting to feel old.
