ah now they’re just rubbing our face in
it
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our top 10 favorite
game over screens first you fall then
Gotham number 10 speak fighter to
kicking off our list is the
coin-operated tournament game that left
unlucky players clamoring to save their
character who has left bloodied and
bruised after losing a battle with the
spotlights on them and the ref counting
down your beckoned to pop in a few more
coins to keep the fight going unwilling
to pay well then prepare to hear your
character cry out in agony and die as
the screen fades to black number 9 banjo
kazooie in this game by rare a bear and
his bird friend must save his sister 2d
classic the premise here is that the
ugly witch gruntilda wants to steal her
beauty so when you die you’re actually
shown what happens to the hapless damsel
namely gran Tilda succeeds in siphoning
all of your sister’s good looks so while
the witch comes off looking rather
dateable your sister is turned into a
hideous monster who’s not too pleased
with you
number eight Batman Arkham series who’s
gonna save you now one of the reasons
that this is considered the best Batman
videogame series let alone the best
comic book game series is the attention
to detail and respect for the characters
here every major villain is given
several of their own unique celebratory
game over screens in which they get one
last taunt in on you before you succumb
to unconsciousness WatchMojo favorites
include Bane breaking the bat and
Clayface telling you what he’s gonna do
next
next I will become you Batman number 7
Conker’s Bad Fur Day in rares lowbrow
classic you play an alcoholic squirrel
who’s hunted by an evil Panther King he
wants to use you to replace a broken
table leg as ludicrous as that setup is
when you lose all your lives you
actually see that situation play out
with the Panther drinking his glass of
milk while conker is forced to spend the
rest of his days propping up the table
number six Ninja Gaiden ever feel bad
about running out of quarters at the
arcade hope not cuz running out of
health in this game results in Ryu
getting trapped in the film saw well not
literally but you do see him tied to a
table as a saw inches towards him while
a timer counts down failure to cough up
the cash meant painting a room ninja red
this one is memorable because it sent
you a message pay up or we’ll cut you
number five
Mortal Kombat for Mortal Kombat is known
for being absolutely brutal so it is
with this game over countdown screen
that lets you witness the horror of your
character getting randomly dropped
towards a gruesome end who would be one
thing if your character was just falling
but the spinning and freefall really
helps you feel the urgency that is
before you get impaled on a bed of
spikes
number four Sega rally
leave it to Sega to give a racing game a
boatload of personality with a simple
upbeat one-liner while simultaneously
putting a positive spin on your failure
it may just be a quick little jingle but
who doesn’t love hearing this melody
every time they failed to cross the
finish line let’s play it again
number three the Legend of Zelda
Majora’s Mask in Zelda’s dark version of
Groundhog Day and evil moon is enroute
and threatens to kill everyone within 72
hours the result of not stopping it or
looping back early is an epic display of
the moon striking termina this showcase
is it decimating everything in sight
while a shock wave of fire burns link
alive kids game my ass
even worse once you’re dead majora
laughs in your face and mocks you one
last time sheesh what a way to rub it in
number two Metal Gear Solid series
snake
the death of Solid Snake is a curious
and iconic one when getting critically
hit he lets out a pain stricken yell
before collapsing this furs not only a
flashy gameovertext
but his radio phone goes crazy with
calls as the incoming caller desperately
tries to cry out his name are you
alright
Mac I guess spies don’t text number one
total distortion taking the top spot on
our list is the game over screen from
the full motion adventure game in which
you play a music video entrepreneur that
gets stuck in the distorted dimension a
realm made up of pop culture elements
there you battle guitar warriors in
musical encounters losing one of these
fights meant getting dismissed by your
opponent in a catchy song try getting
that out of your head agree with our
list which game over screen made you
want to fail again for more entertaining
