D.Yancey Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Getting blown away by the Big Bad Wolf in Oink! It looks like you're being lasso'd by his tongue while you squeal like the pig you are! In Dolphin, you're the smartest mammal and you get caught by a squid? Sheesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adams_ale Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I've been playing a lot of Berzerk lately and I am well aquainted with dying. If you run into a wall or get hit your man flashes many times and if you are around any of the bad guys they will take this time to blast away at you. I can't put it into words, but the whole death sequence screams "you suck!!" and it is quite humiliating so this is my pick for worst death in an atari game. Yancey mentioned Dolphin and that would have to be my runner-up. At least in Berzerk I don't go into the game thinking I'm going to die.

rogueleader Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 For true humiliation we have to skip past the 2600 and go straight to the NES:. The most humiliating loss in any video game is having that evil bastard dog giggle at you in Duck Hunt. I'd pay fifty bucks for a hack that allows me to shoot the damn dog. I'm not 100% certain, but I could swear that in the arcade version of Duck Hunt you CAN shoot the dog. Not while he laughs at you, but sometimes he'll jump out of the foliage during the course of normal gameplay. I'm headed off to Funspot (a classic coin-op arcade/museum) sometime in the coming weeks and I know they have a VS Duck Hunt machine there. Expect confirmation either way. Yeah, you can shoot him in the arcade but I think you're right, you can't do it while he's laughing. Bastard doesn't die though, I think he hobbles out all bandaged up and shakes a crutch at you or something like that. OH Wow! That answers a question I have had for years. I swore up and down I saw someone do thatat Show Biz years ago but no one has ever believed me. How bout that! I hate any game that mocks you when you lose! Even though it is new how about Pac Man Vs. for the GC/ GBA it puts a big LOSER over the head of the well uhh LOSER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
