I guess I died a thousand times in this game but the game over-sequence was sooo beautiful.

Man, I love the soundtrack and atmosphere of this game so much. It's still got one of the best art styles and presentations 20 years later. I wish Sony would do a HD version on PSN, with the complete soundtrack (and perhaps easier difficulty!).

Totally dreamy sequence...

Best "You have failed horribly" screen ever. I never got tired of seeing it and hearing that haunting music.

"Fry's Turkish Delight....Full of eastern promise"

I'm appreciating this more now than I did in 1989 for some reason. Quite a poignant little death sequence...

Back in the day I just wanted to press fire and start again as quickly as possible. I don't think I even noticed the skeleton lying there.

@SergeantLuke I just came from the Donkey Kong Country game over screen video :)

The walking away silhouette could be the soul of the dead beast. In the end, death was the only way to release from their miserable existence.

Does this remind anyone else of the Game Over screen from Donkey Kong Country?

I cried at the game over because my main character died and in my mind it just tells me that his mission for vengance is a failure and he lived like beast and died like a beast. Damn you cant get quality games like this anymore
