Line 118:
* The quote above is from the 70's Bond-parody level in ''[[Time Splitters]]: Future Perfect''. Where your sidekick's partner/girlfriend had been captured and tied to the tracks. After beating the boss, they manage to stop the train...nowhere near close to hitting her.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|The player]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDL_GcXoQIQ can do this] in ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]''. There's even an achievement for it.
** To elaborate: To get the achievement ([[Dastardly Whiplash|"Dastardly"]]), you tie up a female NPC and watch her get run over by a train. This actually caused a minor kerfluffle over the net because the video that first showed it just happened to use a ''nun'' as the victim, and many people assumed that was part of the achievement. Truthfully, it can be ''any'' female NPC, and it's not as easy as it sounds, you need a lariat first, and getting one requires doing the "Wild Horses Tamed Passions" mission.
* Played in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' with an optional GF the player can acquire. Literally flaming tracks appear after barriers appear on either side of the enemies and the background morphs into unintelligible [[Swirly Energy Thingy|space vortex-y swirly things]]. Then you see his light…um…light up and see him zooming down the tracks at a rate of knots, and seconds before contact is made it zooms in to give you a shot of his demon face before he slams through the enemies, and before long all returns to normal and the enemies receive damage and a huge number of additional status affects. You can see all of this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4VjvBaMHJg here].
* In ''[[Nancy Drew|The Haunted Carousel]]'', the villain arranges for Nancy to get her foot trapped between the rails of a roller coaster's tracks, and she must free herself before being splattered by the oncoming train of cars.
