Game Over screens

Through far and wide since around the 80s to the present us gamers had to face the dreaded Game Over screen. Yes, the screen that pops up when you've lost all of your credits/lives/continues/etc. so that when the next time you played, you knew yer chances were limited. Back then around the late 80s to the 90s, we were presented with 'different' Game Over screens. These 'different' screens had the habit of scarin' the sh*t out of us because something gruesome or horrible had happened if we didn't continue the game within 10 seconds. One of the notable examples was the Ninja Gaiden arcade game in where Ryu was strapped down real tight as a buzzsaw slightly descended down to his chest, threatening to rip the shinobi apart if the player didn't continue. If not, the screen would go almost completely red as the ninja howled in pain (OOOOOoooooooh!). Mortal Kombat had a similar Game Over screen where the player's character would fall down a really steep pit and would be brutally impaled by the spikes below if the player didn't continue. Resident Evil put a twist on Game Over screen, which indefinitely scare the sh*t out of people. If a player gets killed by zombies or flesh wounds, the screen would white out and fade into a circling angle of the dead character with his/her flesh torn apart, accompanied by the now famous 'YOU DIED' words superimposed and written in flesh blood. Resident Evil 2 followed the same vein, but accompanied by a Fatality-esque move that time around. Nowadays, they exist just to annoy us


So next time you play an old game, please DO NOT LOSE, OR ELSE! D:

 

god of war style


YOU
ARE
DEAD!

 

hmmmm personally i enjoy the game over sequence of Castlevania Symphony of the Night where the screen fills with blood then drains then the screen shows a skull with cross in it and it says the night is still young shall we go for another run whilst a creepy laugh is playing in the backround

 

I couldn't bare to see a GameOver screen in LoZ. I had completed it without dyin' n' i killed Link to see what happens (I know, so cruel of me). Never again! Seein' him fall to he's knee's n' then his face almost brought tears to my eyes. *sniff*

 

I love Conkers Bad Fur Day/ Reloaded game over because you are a new leg for a chair, or a bag of blood.

But the first time you die is priceless because the grim reaper gets to yell and at u and cats

 

KH1, it bores me to see Sora floating with his heart out of him.

 

i personally actually hate the xenosaga episode II G.O
it seems to take forever

 

Mgs4, it kinda wonders me what would they all do...

 

I like how in Halo, when you die, you just lay there and everyone else runs around like you didn't even die. D: Or a body comes flying out of no where lying next to you. Tis fun...

But in GAME OVER terms, I still like The Legend of Zelda OoT. Because when you die Navi comes out of no where. xD

 

They sometimes say,
"OH MY GOSH, THEY KILLED MASTER CHIEF!"


Also, I hate the game over screen of DMC4.
All those sounds....
*shudders*
they kinda scare a little bit....

 

Devil May Cry has that same text and is red.

 

Friday the 13th (NES). The first game I remember telling me I had just died and not just lost.

 

You want to see a bad LoZ G.O. screen, play one of the older NES Zeldas. I can't think of which one it was off the bat. Ganon comes out of nowhere and stares evilly with glowing eyes, and the music makes you cringe, cry, and curl in a fetal position all at once.

 

Halo respawn screens lol...your enemy can be shooting you while your dead...or multiplayer...tea bags.

 

i hate the ones that say "Game over" in a creepy voice

 

i love the LOZ:TP game over
the whole

orchestral defeat

 

I love how when you're fighting against the Shao Kahn statue in MK: Armageddon, he makes sure to tell you that you suck everytime you die.

 

Castlevania Symphony of The Night was too creepy to behold when I was a kid...

Ya know, I still might be a little scared... >;[[

 

Most games i've played are just the simple "Game Over...kthxbai" But I don't play many horrors or anything. Most kids don't wanna see "YOU'RE DEAD!"

I'd absolutely love it if a video games, Game over screen came up with "www.ufail.org" XD
