Line 8:
Note that it's ''always'' possible for extremely contrived stupidity to result in a player death - mundane cases like failing to properly jump or steer your vehicle around elementary obstacles during the tutorial level are [[People Sit On Chairs]] [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|unless the designer thought to put in]] a special [[Have a Nice Death]] message or [[Nonstandard Game Over]] for it. In the same vein, [[Unwinnable]] user-created content isn't worth mentioning unless the deaths are funny or interesting.
{{examples
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 36:
* The first ''[[Space Quest]]'' (original) game on a modern computer: Set speed to "Fastest". A few seconds later, the Arcada explodes and it's game over.
* In the second ''[[Space Quest]]'' game, you can die ''earlier'' than shown above: Walk east on the first screen and fall in to Xenon's atmosphere. Naturally, no one helps you and you are DEAD.
** In the third game, you can die on the first screen by cutting yourself on a piece of metal trying to pick it up, or fall into the shredding machine shortly after by not jumping off the [[Conveyor Belt O' Doom]] in time. In the fourth game, you may run into the Cyborg and subsequently [[Drop in Nemesis|Droid of Death]] on the first or second screen; both also randomly appearing based on hardware speed.
* In the second ''[[Police Quest]]'' game, you can die in a similar fashion as ''Leisure Suit Larry'' above by crossing the road in front of the Lytton PD.
* In [[Fallout New Vegas]], at the beginning of the game you can try to head directly north to New Vegas from Goodsprings. Just ignore those signs saying the area is infested with [[Boss in Mook Clothing|deathclaws]] and that you should stay the fuck away. [[Tempting Fate|You'll probably make it just fine.]]
Line 57:
* One player in ''[[Nick Arcade]]'' actually got a ''game over'' in ''[[R Type|Super R-Type]]'' in the 30-second time limit.
* Combinations that cause this appear in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (Tabletop Game)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' on a regular basis. Luckily, however, any consistent examples get banned on the next banlist.
* [[Refusal of the Call|Not responding to Illias]] in the beginning dream of ''Monster Girl Quest'' will have her fry you with lightning even before the [[Good Morning, Crono]] sequence.
