Great stuff. I hate credits that are just a black screen with a bunch of names. No one wants to watch that. I like it when they goff off or even continue the story (like Portal).
Portal? Bunch of lazies. I'll contend with the end credits of the Neverhood Chronicles.

(Just a names and concept art presentation, but awesomely annoying music)
The end credits of Warcraft 3 are also stellar in amount of wtf. (Exploding sheep? Check. Electric guitar-playing units? Check.)
Commander Keen 1: Marooned on Mars ended with Billy taking an alien home to keep as a pet.
I'm remembering some game that featured a rail-shooter credits, in which one could shoot at the names as they flew past. Can anyone enlighten me as to what that was, since I can't remember?

portal! " Even though, you broke my heart, and killed me... and thorn me to pieces... and threw every pieace, into, a fire" now thats awesome.
Metal Gear Solid 3. I was crying due to the events right before the credits, and starsailor set the mood fucking perfect.
"OH!I'VE GOT A HOLE INSIDE MY BOAT!!!!"
"OH!I'VE GOT A HOLE INSIDE MY BOAT!!!!"
EDIT: Oh yeah, i like the MGS3 one too! The Song is not quite as great as "the best is yet to come" from MGS1, but still pretty
Of course portal, but i also really liked the one of Devil May Cry 3.
The game ends (minor spoiler) with one of these typical "oh, there are still endless enemies to fight" scenes, and during the credits, you actually take on endless hordes of monsters.
Also, when you managed to kill a certain number of enemies, you got some bonus (i think it was a small epilogue cutscene, but not sure)
A bit silly, but fits the game.
In terms of sheer beauty, there's the ending credits of Shadow of the Colossus, even if it's a bit of a cheat since the credits start to roll before the story/game is really "over"

Obviously Portal, I can say that much without thinking.
I still think the Butterfly ending in Rez is one of the most touching endings. I've only ever managed to see it once because it's so bloody hard to get, but it was a thing of beauty.
Also I'll nominate The Dig for being one of the most atmospheric. I found myself open-mouthed in wonder as everything wound up, and it still gives me shivers down my spine.
Oh, and for sheer fun, Beautiful Katamari. How many other games give you an 8-bit shooter to play as the credits roll? Very thoughtful and entertaining.

damn I should go and play portal I guess... For the sake of end credits!
I love the castlevania end credits great music... also like the Urban Chaos credits they were pretty cool.
Also love the credits of MGS but most of the times... I don't really care for all those names.

I have to agree. It's the fact that the credits roll on just as the happy ending is established and then then you get to hear Garnet's song with lyrics, and you realise how apt the song is for their story.SimuLord post=9.69924.675653 said:
Also I'd like to say Killer7, even though it's just a black screen with names scrolling down it. I say this because the game's final cutscene is so dramatic, and confusing that I was literally in awe at it. I couldn't talk, I just sat there trying to figure out what the hell just happened. Then, before you know it, the credits are gone, and you're still left in the dark.
I must be mad but I didn't particulary enjoy the portal credits. Song was annoying and they dragged on longer than to complete the game.
I guess a crash bandicoot (can't remember which one) and they dance. It's so simple it's brilliant.
