Yeah, I know, it just makes you think you've done something wrong to activate it is all

Still, I do like when in that part, how Joker shoots Batman and it tells you in the gameover screen that you were suppose to dodge the bullet with the middle stick

Especially since there's no middle stick at all....and you were suppose to be shoot in the end

oh. i always thought thst you could move batman's head to avoid getting shot

MrDrake · **Reply #23 on:** February 02, 2010, 05:37:25 PM

Hehe, I thought that at first, till it told me about the middle stick and all

X-wing always used to have a cool "You're dead" animation. You'd get to see your own casket dropped from the hangar of whatever ship you were stationed on, and you'd get a military salute and everything.

The game over screen you get in The Curse of Monkey Island after you take the medicine:

There's a game called Fate/stay night. If you die, you get a sequence in which a hyperactive woman and a little girl cal you an idiot and tell you what you did wrong while putting on slapstick Stooge-style.

Don't really like Pokemon anymore but I always found it hilarious that when you lose all your Pokemon, the character "blacks out" or as some of the games put it "whites out". Even as a kid, it would leave me with a "WTF?!" feeling. Seriously? Losing a Pokemon battle is so shocking that they black out from it? And I thought the Yu-Gi-Oh! characters were overdramatic.

Here's one I always found amusing. It's at the end of the one and only Fridya the 13th game. "Game Over. You and your friends are dead." How lovely for a children's game...

In Grand Theft Auto 4, when you get arrested, the cops make funny (and vulgar)comments like:

1. When we get back to the station I'm gonna beat you with a phone book!

2. I hope you're ready for the prison showers, idiot!

3. Bubba's gonna love you in lockup!

4. I have found weapons! Guess who's going to jail!

5. Try to run again and I'll shoot your balls off!

I'd say the Metal Gear Solid games have probably the best game over screens I have ever seen.

The Resident Evil games have cool game over screens too.

The absoluteley fabulous ethical Game Over screen you get in Steel Battalion when you fail to eject from your Vertical Tank in time.

You go to load your character, and it's gone.

Mech exploded with you still in it? Pilot dies. Saved games wiped clean. Your face gapes in horror. Hours of progrees, gone. You lose. Friends laugh at you. The end.

...

New game.

The G.O. screen from Street Fighter II, where you see have to see your opponent's comment (Zangeif to Guile: next time we meet I'm gonna break your arms), then you have the usual countdown and if you fail to insert a coin or press start your characters portait turns black & white and you hear him or her groan in agony, I swear when I first saw this when I lost as Ryu, I thought he died.

Another Street Fighter game that has an intresting Game Over screen is the arcade version of Street Fighter The Movie: The Game, it has the usual countdown and when it goes to zero you'll hear M.Bison (Raul Julia) yell "Game Over" from the 1994 movie, its pretty cool.

Sorry to bump this old topic, but I have to share this! The best game over screen EVER!

My favorite game over screen was from the Ninja Gaiden arcade game. I think it's the only game over screen where you have fun letting the timer count down and try to decide if you should let it count to the end. X3

This game has some pretty funny "game over" screens.

Cyberlizard · **Reply #38 on:** March 30, 2011, 06:39:12 PM

For me it would have to be Total Distortion's game over screen. Probably the most straight-forward game over music ever.
