Nonstandard Game Over: Difference between revisions

* In [[Star Control II]]: The Ur-Quan Masters, the Ur-Quan, being the reasonable people they are, will allow you to surrender them and spare the lives of your crew. They're not going to let ''you'' live, of course, and even if they did you wouldn't have your plot-necessary [[Cool Spaceship]] anymore, so if you accept the conversation cuts directly to a [[Game Over]] screen. Still, quite a magnanimous offer considering that everyone on you ship is currently engaged in fully voluntary rebellion.

** The game has a time limit, in that eventually the Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah who have an agenda of total genocide will triumph over the green Ur-Quan and begin moving to exterminate all sentient life in the galaxy. You can monitor their progress on the galactic map as they move from species to species. Eventually they will head for Earth and if they arrive before you eliminate their flagship and halt their advance, the population of Earth is eradicated and it's game over.

* In the first [[Stealth Based Mission]] of ''[[Soldier of Fortune]] II'', if a guard spots you, Dr. Ivanovich is immediately captured and you get a slightly different [[Game Over]] screen. In the level where you are escorting a team of soldiers, disobeying orders or accidentally shooting one of them results in them executing you on the spot.

* In the original ''[[Time Crisis]]'', running out of time caused an instant game over, unlike the sequels.
