Oh well, then how about the "game over" screen in Uplink? It just says that you have been caught, and your computer and password have been revoked. We don't know you.
The only problem? It's permadeath. If you try to log in again, you get another game over screen. So you have to start ALL over again.
When you shoot yourself in Eternal Darkness. Isn't really a game over, but it feels like it for a second or two.
did anyone put this yet?: the game over screen for Sega Rally Championship 2
here's a link for those who don't know what it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6aRwky0W5Y
it's like saying: "even though you lost, at least you get a satisfying ballad for all your troubles".
until it got annoying

How's about the "blob" endings in "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream"? If you think about them they are easily the worst possible ways to (never) die, and the artwork onscreen is awesome.
The first time you die in Conkers Bad Fur Day and end up meeting Gregg in hell is hysterical...
lol, that was sure one hell of an ending, wasn't it? What with Hale being the way he was, I kind of expected something like that to happen, but they really slap you in the face with it, don't they?

This isn't the player, but when you shut down turrets in portal.
I don't hate you.
In fact all their quotes are sweet.

You aren't alone. If your stomach didn't turn during the Nazi War Camp surgery bits, YOU HAVE NO SOUL.Wildrow12 said:
I remember in Chrono Trigger, when you died at a certain point in the game, there was a HUGE long cutscene showing the games main boss guy destroying the world in the future and stuff. It was like, five minutes long, and then, when it was all over, it showed a still image of the earth going dark, and then a pendulum slowly swung to a stop, and the words "And time ceased to change" came up all epic on the screen.
Obviously spoilers.....
but I guess my favorite is the ending of Shadow of the Colossus. You finally finish killing the final Colossi, and it ends up that you were helping the bad guy, who subsquently takes over you body and attempts to kill all of the warriors who raided the temple. Sure the bad guy is sealed before the credits, but leaving the main character as a baby......yeah....

I preferred the one where she is driving away and sees the giant scissors rising slowly from the back seat.GamingAwesome1 said:
I say the one I just said because you both succeeded and yet failed at the same time.
Clock Tower on the SNES has already been mentioned, but I prefer the H ending [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymh5G8ivf4g] (it starts at about 6:00 on that video, but go here [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smu9Pwb0C_w&feature=related] if you want to cut to the chase). I love the genre homages in the game ("it's only a cat", running and tripping at the worst possible time during chases), and this ending is just a perfect little knife.
The old King's Quest II also gave you an encounter with a priest, whom you could order you character to kill. Doing so, however, prompted a message from the programmers to the effect that no one who would kill a man of the cloth was fit to play the game, so they would therefore end your game (and kill your character) for you. Man, times were different.
ETA: ::looks at above post:: Dang, that was not planned.
