A game that moved me was Unreal. Man, you had to walk alot.
Seriously. You sometimes found datapads with logs next to dead humans.
You could find one of those dead body's with a log hidden next to a gigantic fortres. The log told about the guy escaping the fortres, and he just needed some rest to get his strengt back. He never woke up. And you had to go into that fortres!
Or the soldiers that crashed on the planet as well and tried to travel to a safe place. You tried to catch up. You never did, of course, because there were no safe places any more. It made me feel angry and lonely.
This and the torturing of the passive Nali really motivated me to kill the Skaaj. Unreal 2 and other shooters failed to show motivation.

This must have been the 4th time I wrote on these forums that I like Unreal.

Neither adventure games, but Breath of Fire II and Terranigma both moved me. Particularly Breath of Fire II has moments that bring me to tears every time. It's one thing for a game these days with orchestral music and gorgeous graphics to do that but quite another for a very early tile-based RPG to do so.

Specifically in BoFII, there's a scene where an older sister has to turn permanently into a bird to aid the quest, but during the night before the ceremony, her little sister locks herself in a room and becomes a bird instead, with the older sister screaming at the door. Another scene has a seemingly heartless, cruel mother sacrifice herself to save her son who nearly dies being crushed by a huge stone block. His mother shoves him out of the way and get splattered right before his eyes. That one always gets me.

I'm trying to think of other games that make me cry... hmm, can't think of any others specifically.
