The end music in Mega Man 3 used to move me to tears, but I never avoided beating the game because of it. I liked the effect, and I think that's part of why being a musician was so alluring to me. The ability to emotionally affect someone else, and even myself, for better or worse, is a powerful thing. There is NOTHING like the high of playing with other musicians and connecting so deeply it's transcendent.
Nowadays, though, I try to elicit the 'FUCK YEAH!! Headbang!!' emotion. =)
