Black Holes Suck: Difference between revisions

** Also, {{spoiler|there's a castle in it.}}

* The blackholes in [[Spore]]. They're covered in lightning, you can fly right up to them and, with the right upgrade, ''through'' them and out another black hole. Another wormhole confusion example.

* You can create a black hole in ''[[Scribblenauts]]''. It sucks in everything within a certain radius and destroys anything that touches it. And it evaporates after a few seconds.

** That's actually fairly realistic, if you're willing to fudge the masses and timescales by several orders of magnitude. Although it really should evaporate in a very loud BANG, to be strictly accurate.

** And in the sequel, spawning a black hole causes it to suck up any nearby objects for a few seconds. When the few seconds are up, it expands and consumes the entire stage, protagonist included. And it cannot be removed once spawned.

* [[Bomberman|Bomberman 64: The Second Attack]]. Where to begin. The big bad uses one to suck in planets and store his army and sustains it with gravity generators located on captured planets INSIDE the black hole and his interstellar warship (also inside the black hole). Then there's <s>Regulus</s> [[Do Not Call Me Paul|Bulzeeb]]. He attacks with black hole bombs which are, as you may have guessed, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|bombs that create a large (compared to most explosions in the game) black hole upon detonation]]. Of course, the black hole only compresses anything in its blast radius that's not the ground. And apparently <s>Regulus</s> Bulzeeb's armor is black hole proof since he can enter the black hole without being compressed or harmed.

** To give the game credit, at least they show death by compression into a singularity when it does hit you.

* The [[Nazi Zombies]] mini-game of Black Ops has a small hand-held device<ref>Named the Gersch Device</ref> that when you press a few buttons and throw it the device generates a small black hole which sucks in all nearby zombies and which closes within a short period of time. Realistically the entire facility the character was on would have been sucked into the black hole if it were anything like a real one. What makes it even stranger is that the creator of the device notes that it was meant to be a portable teleporter which is proven if the player decides to jump into the black hole as it will teleport them to a random part of the map, so this makes you wonder why it acts as a destructive black hole on the zombies but only functions as if it were a worm hole if you touched it.

* ''[[X-COM]] Interceptor'' has semi-realistic black holes that can adversely affect travel on the interstellar map. They can suck in probes (and do so from a surprising distance away) and ships traveling near them are slowed by a significant amount as they try to escape the event horizon. The plot itself is set off by the discovery of an intercepted alien message that shows massive fleets flying into a black hole. It's initially suspected this is some kind of bizarre disposal method, but eventually it's discovered that {{spoiler|the aliens have figured out a way to turn black holes into wormholes to a [[Pocket Dimension]]}} where they are building a literally indestructible superweapon. The rest of the game turns into a race against time to find a way to counter the superweapon.

* The ''Space Cadet'' pinball has a kickout called "Black Hole" (oddly enough, it's white). There's also a mission named "Black Hole Mission" where you've to lit all the engine lights [[Captain Obvious|and send the ball to the "black hole"]]. When you accomplish it, you get the message "Black Hole eliminated".
