Title: Re: DEATH. Post by: William Broom on June 13, 2008, 02:08:56 AM It's hard to beat Heart of Darkness for sheer deathiness. Practically everything in that game had a new way to kill you. Now I think about it, the whole game was pretty disturbing underneath its kiddy exterior.
Also, the HoD video was cool, but it's kind of creepy how all the 'related videos' seem to be vore fetish stuff... Title: Re: DEATH. Post by: Guert on June 13, 2008, 02:38:45 AM Excellent thread! Now, I must find all those cool Game Over screens somewhere...
I always liked Death from Conker's Bad Fur Day on the 64, the Super Punch Out retire screen (very moody), the possible way to kill your characters in Maniac Mansion and the car explosion in F-Zero on Snes. I just need to find some screens or vids... I'll search around... Title: Re: DEATH.

Mystical Ninja. Me and my friends laughed so hard the first time we saw that. Title: Re: DEATH. Post by: moi on June 13, 2008, 05:08:29 AM It's hard to beat Heart of Darkness for sheer deathiness. Practically everything in that game had a new way to kill you. Now I think about it, the whole game was pretty disturbing underneath its kiddy exterior. It's not a surprise as it comes from the same guy who did Another World. Remember all the very detailed deaths in that game? (the pool tentacle, the beasts, the slugs, the lasers,etc,etc...)Title: Re: DEATH. Post by: Gainsworthy on June 13, 2008, 05:22:48 AM Those Space Quest deaths are pretty outstanding.
AND YES! Another World. Wow, the ways that killed you. Wonderful game though. Title: Re: DEATH.

Post by: Melly on June 13, 2008, 07:04:01 AM Heart of Darkness is awesome. Frustrating, but awesome.
Title: Re: DEATH. Post by: Alevice on June 13, 2008, 07:31:02 AM Metal Slug 3 had also loads of death sequences (including, but not limited to, horrible plant mutiation due to spores, eaten by piranhas, transmuted into gold, zombified and afterwards slowly descomposed and incinerated), albeit most of them were short, specially given the nature of the game. Too bad I don't seem to be able to find a video for all of them.

Title: Re: DEATH. Post by: cyber95 on June 13, 2008, 07:36:46 AM Heart of Darkness is awesome. Frustrating, but awesome. I lovvvved that game. Have it on my computer, and still haven't been able to get outta the water cave. I was always paranoid that something was gonna eat me whenever I would play it. I was usually right.Title: Re: DEATH.

Title: Re: DEATH. Post by: William Broom on June 13, 2008, 10:27:14 PM Someone should have mentioned Oregon Trail by now. I'd do it myself but I've never actually played it, just heard about it from others. At my school we got to play Stunts and South Park Mario :D

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4MARAsx1Vo) Wow, Neverhood's graphics really are amazing. I'd never seen it in motion before.Title: Re: DEATH. Post by: Gainsworthy on June 13, 2008, 10:45:54 PM :o
That settles it, I'm buying The Neverhood like, right now. Ish. Coulda bought it years ago, nice new box, all pretty like, from the store but NO. No I didn't buy it becasue I was STUPID and waited for STUPID games and I just occasionally looked at the box in the stores and thought "oh that looks nice" and didn't act on it and went and bought Croc AND WHERE DID THAT GET ME? Gobbos? I'll give you Gobbos. Sure it was fun at the time but look at that! It's all Clay and Moving and Wonderful. Phwoar. I bet it's rare now. Rare and expensive. No I'm not pirating it. Oop, there's one, from the You Ess of Ay. No box though. I bet it has a really nice manual. I guess I'm just going to wait again, like last time, TEN YEARS AGO. And when I finally get it, it won't work on Windows XP. That'd be right. Yeah. Or Vista. So I'll have a pretty box, and an awesome manual, and NO GAME. I'm a mess. Bloody Hell. Title: Re: DEATH.
