Line 53:
* In ''[[Leisure Suit Larry]] 6'' you could attempt to open an underwater door from the inside. Larry does not survive the following increase in air humidity.
** If you flush the toilet in the restroom of Lefty's Bar in the original, it overflows and causes you to drown. Other easy ways to die are shoplifting, neglecting to pay the taxi driver, or wandering into a dark alley.
* In ''[[Paper Mario:
* ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''
** You can die before the game even officially starts. Just tell the character telling you about the rift in the world that you don't want to do anything about it. He will ask if you're sure and tell you the world will end without your help. Say yes and he asks if you are REALLY sure. Say yes again and he then says something like "Well... I guess there is nothing to be done about it then. This world and all who live in it will be destroyed." And you get a Game Over, even before you can officially control your character.
Line 188:
* Many [[Death Is a Slap on The Wrist]] multiplayer games have a [[Slash Command]] for this, like ''[[Unreal]]'''s "siucide", which broadcasts the message "[player] had an aneurysm."
* ''[[Homestar Runner]]'''s ''Peasant's Quest'' lets you simply type "die". The game insults your intelligence, then carries out the command. So does ''Thy Dungeonman''.
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind]]'' you can get a scroll that boosts your acrobatics to insane levels. For three seconds. This means you jump like Supes. And then die once you hit the ground. Oh, and did I mention you get the scroll from the corpse of the guy who was testing it out, crashing-and dying!- ''right in front of you?''
** Of course they are called the "scrolls of [[Genius Bonus|Icarian Flight]]."
** Not a perfect example, since it is quite possible to find a use for it - Slowfall, at any power, removes ''all'' falling damage (and synergises well in other respects), and a spell of levitate halts the fall in favour of, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|levitation]].
