Apparently you can see the G-Man in at least one title screen, as pointed out by DaStalKer. He spotted him in the ruins of the City 17 title screen. As this isn't really part of the game, per se, I've created a separate section for title screens. If you see him in any others, let us know.

A new one from d1_town_05 thanks to discoman! After this, I won't be able to update until next Monday. Sorry... But I'll definitely update then. Just keep posting whatever you find.

Got a new one from the canals posted by ArmchairAthlete. We need a map name, though.

New rule: I'll wait for a screenshot to list and link the pictures in this post.
skace also gave us a few more. Thanks!
I also added map names to the link text for easy referencing.

Thanks everybody! If you have more, post em! BTW, sorry for the belated update. I've been busy recently.

ORIGINAL POST:
I've beaten the game, but I only saw the G-man once. If you saw him (and I'm sure some of you did), share! I'll compile a list in this post. If you can confirm any of these, please do! BTW, two people is enough for confirmation in my book.
----------------------------------------


So far, we have seen him (in order of appearance):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

TITLE SCREENS:

In the City 17 title screen, you can see him through the windows between the F and L of Half-Life 2 every few minutes.
Screenshot (background06)



IN GAME:

Introduction (of course!)

On the security camera in Dr. Kleiner's lab the first time you're there.
Screenshot (d1_trainstation_05).

Near the beginning when you drop into a cargo container that had a man and a vortigaunt, the vortigaunt was charging the TV and G-Man was on it briefly before it turned off...
Screenshot (d1_canals_01).

At the red barn at the start of the airboat chapter, he walks inside, and then disappears, and there are 2 zombies left inside.
Screenshot (d1_canals_06).

After you get a weapon mounted on the airboat, you can see him in a corridor that forks at the end (there is health and headcrabs to the right and the level continues to the left). There are barnacles hanging from walkways (one of which the G-Man occupies).
Screenshot (NEED MAP NAME).

After fighting the helicopter in the airboat. When you get out of the building on the plateau and head towards the damn, he walks behind the corner and disappears.
Screenshot (d1_canals_13).

Right after you've dealt with the first of the snipers at the end of the trainyard. In the left corner you have to crouch to see him.
Screenshot (d1_town_05).

Somewhere on the coast (when you have the buggy) and look through the Combine binoculars across the bay.
Screenshot (d2_coast_03).

In Nova Prospekt you can see him at the first security monitor. He's on the third camera to which you switch.
Screenshot (d2_prison_02).

After Dog lets you through the combine wall, you enter a bombed-out building. In a small room down the hallway, you see the G-Man on a TV. The TV is sitting on a pile of rubble and eerie music is playing.
Screenshot (d3_c17_02).

Endgame... duh! 😉
 
He's also at the red barn at the start of the airboat chapter, he walks inside, and then disappears, and there are 2 zombies left inside.
I'm sure I saw him somewhere else before that too, but I can't remember where.
 
I reloaded like 5 times at the beginning at the barn to try and catch him, no luck though. Anyone try shooting him? :-x
 
I played on Medium and only saw him once... shown on a computer screen in Nova Prospekt that was showing what a security camera sees. Like usual he walks out of view.
 
After fighting the helicopter in the hoverboat. When you get out of the building on the plateau and head towards the damn, he walks behind the corner and disappears. *UNCONFIRMED*

This is actually the only time I saw him.
 
near the beginning when you drop into a cargo container that had a man and a vortigaunt, the vortigaun was charging the tv and g-man was on it briefly before it turned off...
 
Ok, I updated the list a bit. If I remember correctly, he was also on a TV is an apartment building in the city. I think the TV was on some rubble in a small corner room. Across from it was a stairway blocked by a couch on its end. Am I remembering this correctly? I'll have to check when I play it again.

I saw that one too. One of the few times I managed to spot him in this game.
 
I also remember seeing him sometime later in the 'Route Kanal' level, where you're in the swapboat, and he walks across on some overpass. You are going really fast at the point, but for some reason I think I saw him. I'm not really sure exactly where; you'd have to replay that whole part for it (I know it's after the barn).

I saw a figure from extreme range and fired my pistol at it, it went around the corner.

But there was no combine soldier or body, so I guess it could been the G-man.
 
anticitizen.. right after Dog is carried away, in the ruins there's a TV and gman is on it briefly before it turned off... there was also this wierd music in the background.

Yeah I saw him there and on the dam. I didn't know it was the Gman on dam until I saw the other peoples SS's though.
