What's your favorite 'satisfying gameplay' moment?

If people are throwing in pinball I would say destroying the ring in Lord of The Rings and the jackpot shot in Twilight Zone.

Both are pretty fun..

Jackpot shot isnt the easiest in Twilight zone and sound effects etc are pretty cool (i.e. super loud) when you hit it. Getting to "Lost in the Zone" is pretty cool also.
 
ULTRA COMBO in Killer Instinct ...

I was going to ad this one as well as the adrenaline rush you got when you heard FINISH HIM!!! (As well as pulling off the finisher) during competitive play back in the vs fighting game heydays in the MK series....

(Cool accomplishment though!) ;) (And just kidding, I just really wanted to use that gif.)

OK, since you've set the bar lower, I'd say getting max cars on Spy Hunter before losing any is a good accomplishment. :)

In the extreme example I mentioned earlier I just got 200K more points before losing any.

I'd add that reaching sector 10.x on Star Trek where the game stumbles when pronouncing the number 10 is a good accomplishment for me as well.

Dammit, all the ones I was going to post have already been posted, lol.

Shooting lights out and squishing enemies in Elevator Action, all characters with one rock drop in Dig Dug, Pterodactyl slaughtering in Joust, Killing Sinistar.

Some new ones: Getting the "Leader" sign lit up in SF Rush for being in the lead.
Shooting little space ships in Asteroids. (Especially when it's with one shot, which I constantly try for)
 
A couple for me:

1. Getting a perfect delivery on paperboy and gaining a new customer. Also crossing the finish line

2. Approaching the rally point on Roadblasters as you skid out at the end of the track! :)
 
Breaking 1M on Robotron

Getting past the 3rd Elevator level on DK

For sure!

3) Making it to level 17 in Tempest.

Why this? I'm not that familiar enough with the game.

Starting multiball in Addams Family, "Show-Time"

THIS! Those sounds, and the thunder, ALWAYS put a smile on my face. There's just something about it.

OK, since you've set the bar lower, I'd say getting max cars on Spy Hunter before losing any is a good accomplishment. :)

What's the max # of cars you can get?

Killing Satan with one shot in Satan's Hollow.

Yup!

Nailing the wizard in Wizard of Wor.

Yup! Love how the screen and sounds go bezerk. One of the best parts of the game.

1. Getting a perfect delivery on paperboy and gaining a new customer. Also crossing the finish line

This was the first thing that came to mind when reading the OP....the perfect delivery.

Good one.
I remember playing just to accomplish that.

hitting the center thing in Star Castle

From that era it was always awesome to clear the first maze on Crash.

You get 2 initially if you get to 18K before the timer runs out. One at 30K, 60K, 90K, and 120K.
