Line 48:
* ''[[Dragon Fable]]'' (from Artix Entertainment): Nythera apparently kills Warlic, thanks to the potions you helped her make. The fact that Warlic exists in the ''[[Adventure Quest]]'' game doesn't necessarily mean he gets out of this situation, since Nythera then shapeshifts into Warlic. Meaning ''she'' might be the Warlic we know in ''[[Adventure Quest]]''.
** Warlic eventually gets better, in no small part due to Nythera biting off a lot more than she can chew and having to resurrect him in order to take out some really nasty monsters that she can't defeat with her magic.
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind]]'' has one when the player contracts the 100% incurable, [[Body Horror]] [[Nightmare Fuel]] corprus disease.
* ''[[Eversion]]'''s World 4 takes this to [[Nightmare Fuel|horrifying levels]]. The stage starts off innocently enough as World 4-1, but after hitting the first block [[But Thou Must!|(which you are required to do)]], the stage suddenly everts to World 4-5 -- the backgrounds get a lot less colorful, the music becomes ''much'' creepier, and blocks now have freaked-out eyeless faces. And as if all that's not unsettling enough, now you have '''[[Wall Master|giant demonic hands]]''' grabbing at you from water pits.
** How could you possibly forget what happens when you first hit that block in 4-1? {{spoiler|'''[[Eye Scream|OH GOD ITS EYES FLEW OUT]]!'''}}
Line 151:
*** Link finally catches up to Zelda, and instead of simply saving her/seeing her get captured, he's ''reprimanded'' by Impa for being too late and not being strong enough to watch over Zelda, as well as having to watch his childhood friend disappear, ''yet again''. Ouch.
*** When Link catches up to Zelda once again, this time after proving he has enough strength to help Zelda, you'd expect a happy reunion, but what does he get? A stab in the back when Zelda confesses she manipulated Link with his feelings for her, as well as the awfulness of having to watch Zelda seal herself in a crystal for goodness knows how long. The look on Link's face says it all.
* ''[[Hellgate :London]]'' attempts to end on one -- YMMV, as some players played the character in question less attention than [[Diablo|Deckard]] [[Play the Game Skip the Story|Cain]] -- but whether you got the full shocking effect or not, it was [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|an excellent end scene]].
* ''[[The King of Fighters]] XIII'' is considered to be THE [[Wham! Episode]] by many fans.
** The entire "Tales of Ash" [[Arc|saga]] was one long string of WHAM: [[Complete Monster|Rugal]] has ''children'', Ash Crimson [[Brought Down to Normal|steals]] Chizuru and Iori's powers, [[Standard Evil Organization Squad|Those from the Past]] [[Brainwashed and Crazy|manipulate]] Chizuru into breaking [[Sealed Evil in a Can|the seal on]] [[Orochi]], etc. ''XIII'' and its climax just happened to be the icing on the cake.
