2 important things: In the Mortal Kombat clip I had to change the song of the fall into the pit because absolutely all the music of this saga has a very restrictive copyright (thanks Warner Bros...); And some continues were too long in length (more than 20 seconds), so I've cut them a little bit to make the video more entertaining to watch. I hope you can understand these little "creative licenses". Enjoy the video!

Looking at it from another perspective, the Fatal Fury Game Over, can you imagine if the creators had put the phrase when you defeat Geese? something like: "Andy Bogard dies in hospital 3 hours after falling from a highrise" that would have made it too cruel for the player.

This got me to thinking on these Game Over screens, in Ninja Gaiden, the words were (neatly) arranged in entrails. Sly Spy is also an underrated Game Over in it's simplicity in showing the consequences of your failure. Capcom's screens ranged anywhere from coercive (Final Fight) to pleading, as in a doctor or healer can't revive you without paying up. The mahjong screen looked like a toned-down Ninja Gaiden for the "step on me, Mommy" set. Comparing Mortal Kombat's screen, which is iconic for the series, if the Ninja Gaiden fate was used in Splatterhouse, would it have made that game more impactful? And on a lighter note, y'all think Tecmo's Team Ninja helped "revolutionize" game physics with the Dead or Alive franchise to atone for their nightmare fuel imagery? Overall, we also have memories of beating the end boss and seeing some good endings to counteract the defeats; perseverance, reflexes, and patience are all qualities in gaming that can be leveraged in the real world. And it's still possible to be a reasonably sane human being after reveling in fictional violence.

As a kid, my broke ass used to feel bad when the blue s journey fairy called me a bad guy for not having coins to continue 😂

All these are cruel game overs but there's 2 cruel game overs that actually make you feel guilty for not continuing >Take Blue's journey, one woman ask you to continue for raguy but if you don't for atleast few seconds she call you a bad guy because she think you are just another person that don't care pollution and also think that you throw trash everywhere you go, and when it reach zero you see this image that everything in the sky messed up and now you become a monster of mother nature by seeing good air turns into bad smell from smokes and eventually nature is dying slowly >Sly spy is that you see a dozen of missile nuclears is about to launch by multiple locations and once it's fully launch you see everything on the ground destroyed by the nukes, killed countless of innocent people and also it's almost impossible to recover due to dozen of missile nuclears and all around of the planet becoming a nuclear earth war where you cannot breathe so good because of radiation life death threatening, and environment is falling apart and massed suffered damage from the nuclears, I think it's might takes centuries to recover but humanity is also suffered too so all living lifes will unable to live in peace with the PNDW (post-nuclear destruction weapon) thing. Who knows what century will continue after the recover.

Many of these weren't that brutal, IMO. Also I'd love to see some more modern ones. it's always retro ones they keep bringing up, but I'm pretty sure there must be some brutal and/or cruel ones from recent years in indie games.

7:36 Great, you also gave those poor people heart attacks lmao

Nice. I think I would have given a runner-up award for the Alien Versus Predator arcade game over screen that shows Predator arming his suicide bomb.

0:38 I remembered playing this as a kid and seeing this game over screen tried to press continue repeatedly to no avail got traumatized for a while later realized you need credits that were three if I remember correctly to start again and no save points too Great now I want to play these games again finish them.

I don't remember the name of the game, but it was a fantasy beat em up. You played a warrior with a weapon like in Black Tiger/Black Dragon, a flail like weapon, and can fight monsters....as you beat em up, the monsters' faces got more bloody. The game over screen had the hero in the mouth of some big creature with big teeth, and when the timer reached zero, the mouth closed and you hear the hero screaming. Edit: 2:27 Nevermind. :D

The one from Jojo jumpscared me when i was younger

2:35 as soon the video started, I remembered of this game and I was hopping you woudl include it :) Great work

The irony of "2nd A" appearing as the high score name entry after your character is shot in Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.

Did losing in Slam Masters really get to Haggar so much that he got a heart attack? Well shit. That makes the dynamite in Final Fight rather pointless.
