So I have an image idea: Any Magic the Gathering card that can cause a game loss. Pact of Negation, Chance for Glory, and Final Fortune come to mind.
Removed (that's Fission Mailed):
- Lampshaded/Inverted in Eversion, where "GAME OVER" shows on your screen sometimes, as the "READY!" screen after you get to X-5 or later.
'M not Crazy, just Raven
removed this, because it isn't an example. Getting killed by the shopkeeper simply triggers the normal "game over" screen
- The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening: If you steal more than once any shop on the island, the shopkeeper will fire a bolt of lightning at you and kill you instantly.
There seems to be a lot of similar examples, and the page's quote and picture don't help. I'm going to make a discussion.
It's funny though. I was wondering where all the "Scare'm Straight" examples where here. I guess if you still get the standard game over, it doesn't count. But there's a few, like where you trap yourself in Portal (Meaning the one time you're /not/ let out) that it's certainly a "game over" for you.. Without the screen at all.
That Link's Awakening example is a case of One-Hit Kill. It should be moved there.
