The slow grooming of the Player teaching them about the moon powder followed by the game ending where you shoot the moon is a big fat core memory for me. I still get goosebumps. I'm not a hardcore gamer but it felt so awesome.
Dude I'm stupid and didn't really pay attention to the moon dust stuff, but it's ok because that game is so good, they frame that scene so well and have the moon just visible over GladOS's shoulder (so to speak), I still realized exactly what I needed to do. Probably one of my favorite "ah-ha" moments in gaming.
Walls painted with moon stone, to be precise
