* The true extreme is ''[[You Only Live Once]]'' a flash platformer which is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. No extra lives, no continues, you only live once. Oh, and you can't play again, as it will remember that you died. And deleting cookies won't help. And purging your cache. And reinstalling your browser. The only way to truly restart the game is by going [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html here] and deleting the files uploaded to your player, but it's [[Completely Missing the Point]].
** In its sequel, ''The Execution'', the player commands a firing squad aiming at whichever between Pink Lizard or the hero had been arrested, depending on the ending gotten in the first game. Execute them, and that's it. They're dead.
** There is a much simpler way to restart the game, however. {{spoiler|When you die, refresh the page and quickly click on the Kongregate before starting the game.}}
** It may seem like there are a number of death sequences, but actually, the death scenes remain fairly static - the only thing that changes is the location and circumstances of your demise (which are sometimes alluded to by the paramedics). Otherwise, it's precisely the same sequence... unless you beat the game, in which case {{spoiler|you're arrested for killing Sir Giant Pink Lizard (and your character says [[Memetic Mutation|"Don't tase me bro!"]], no less), and the Goomba [[Expy|expies]] have a funeral for him}}. See [http://cs.redeemer.ca/~ckeefer/kCMSv2/index.php?f=viewArticle&ID=12 this blog entry]{{Dead link}} for some screenshots.
* ''[[Mega Man X]] 3'' is notable for that. If you play as Zero and Zero dies, that's it, he's DEAD FOREVER AND YOU CAN'T USE IT ANYMOAR!! ...actually he is just "really badly damaged and therefore can't help you anymore", but the idea is still there.
** But you can cheat him back pretty easily: {{spoiler|Get your new password, enter it in, then keep adding 1 to the last digit and pressing start. Eventually you'll get one that works where Zero's back.}}
