* 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.]]
* Start the boss battle against CFW Judge in ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk 2]]'', he goes first, moves up to your party, and kills off your entire party ''before your first turn'' in some cases. The player could, however, get lucky and only have half of their party taken out. In a [[New Game Plus+]] or after grinding, however, this is no longer an issue.
{{quote| '''CFW Judge:''' To ashes!}}
* At least one of the ''[[Kaizo Mario World]]'' hacks tries to kill Mario in the opening scene.
 
== All Others ==
* In [[Chess (Tabletop Game)|Chess]], the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Fool%27s_mate:Foolchr(27)s mate|Fool's mate]] ends the game in two moves, the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholar%27s_mate:Scholarchr(27)s mate|Scholar's mate]] in four.
* The ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (Tabletop Game)|Dungeons and Dragons]]'' module ''[[Tomb of Horrors]]'' places its first inescapable [[Death Trap]] at the entrance door, so a lot of parties die by [[TPK]] before they even manage to enter the dungeon.
* In ''[[Traveller]]'', character generation is done in stages. The first part of each stage is rolling to see if your character is still alive. Yep, your character can die before the game even starts.

'''Milhouse''': What a rip! (hesitates a second, then deposits more quarters) }}
* Spoofed in ''[[FoxTrot]]'': after convincing Paige to play ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (Tabletop Game)|Dungeons and Dragons]]'' and a week long set of strips setting up the game, Jason [[Killer Game Master|kills all of Paige's characters in the very first turn]] via a [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies|collapsing trap in the entrance]]. (possibly a reference to the aforementioned ''[[Tomb of Horrors]]'')
* Both Iji and [[Hero Core]] have the impossible hidden difficulty "Reallyjoel's dad". The first just overpowers enemies and locks a door, making it impossible to leave the first area. The second locks you in a room with [[Oh Crap|every boss in the game]].
** The boss room has been completed but only on a tool-assisted run.
