Although it was quick, I found the death noise in Fahrenheit 3000 super annoying. It wasn't so bad every now and then but some rooms were so hard you'd lose 50 lives in them and you'd be hearing that high pitched squeel only seconds apart from each other.
The "Oh no!', followed by 'Yeah!' whenever you died/respawned got very annoying in a short space of time.
And as much as I love it....Olli & Lissa. The lengthy animations of Olli being dazed/tapping his head & Sir Humphrey smacking him with a broom when the time limit expired were only entertaining the first few times....

Well talking of annoying speech in deaths, Space Harrier II "AAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!"..........."GET READY!!!!".
Seconded, many a time did my TV almost get a foot through it, because of that!
It's good that you didn't, though... Otherwise your TV would've been "fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinished"!! :grin:
Another annoying death/game over scene was BMX Racers... when you did crash, you had to sit there looking at that picture of the dude with the wheel around his head (quite nicely drawn though, I might add), and listen to that annoying bleeping for what seemed like an eternity!!
Any game in which, where you die, by jumping into a room, and get re-spawned at the same spot, i.e. jumping into the room repeatedly (i.e. the usual three times), and this, which my opinion is, and mine I call, as I have made it, thereby rendering it solely mine and hereby also being told, and relayed to you, this theory of mine, which I made and have come to conclude, and include in my life's work.
I like the Resident Evil games, and some of the death scenes are pretty good, but I've always thought it was just a bit unnecessary to have a huge 'YOU DIED!' message appear. Like, duh! :p That would certainly explain why my character is no longer able to continue after being decapitated or eaten then. :wink:

Creepy I was going to write this in yesterday, but I decided against it, but you're pretty much bang on with what I was going to write. Freaky thing is the "like, duh!" bit, admittedly mine was going to say "Well duh!", but the bit about decapitation and stuff.
I'm going to be cheeky and mention a PS2 game: Virtua Fighter 4. If you lost to the final boss - the game ends and you have to restart all over again, no second chances!!!
I am surprised no one has mentioned the terrible scream when the ninja was hit by an arrow in "Ninja Master".. :)
D'you know what? I've never played that game, but from all the screenshots I've seen posted here it doesn't look like the greatest game. The ninja doesn't look very mean, does he? He looks like he's getting ready to "do the time-warp", or something.

"ARGH! Rest in peace" was cool the first 3 times...
Enough to make you hairs stand on end.

Wasn't that in Narc? At least the coin-op version I recall it having that message.
yeah a bunch of arcade games had them.
Yeah, I know. It was that D.A.R.E. campaign which started it (I think).
i thought it was mr t or hulk hogan, something around the time of regan.
I think they were spokes-dudes for the D.A.R.E. thingie.

I may sound confusing but I know what I mean :D
Wonderful, just wonderful

You should try it! :)
It is quite bad, but fun to at least try for a round or two. And to listen to the screaming of course...

Just tried it. Loving the sound effects!! "Heeeeeiiighhh" "AAAAGGGHHH" :lol:
Technicaly not bad from the Spectrum 48k beeper I think!
True. It's not the worst game I've played either... As far as ninja games go, I'd rather play this than Kai Temple, for example.
ISTR Pheenix as being quite irritating too.
