Here it is: another gratuitous death-related thread, but I think this will make for some interesting reading if enough people contribute to it.
Anyway, the "Notable Film Deaths" Thread in the Film, TV, and DVD section got me thinking of some of the more memorable deaths in gaming history. What characters can you think of who really bit it in grand style?
Spoliers are a s risk, as always, but most of the games I listed are quite old.
Apart from the obvious one in Final Fantasy VII, I came up with:
Golden Axe: The final boss collapses and falls victim to his own giant axe in an early example of arcade-era gore.
Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger -- The hero's girlfriend, Angel, escapes execution by disintegrator only to be ritually disembowelled by a Kilrathi prince. A hologram of the deed is later used to taunt the player.
Wolfensetin 3D: The end boss, who is none other than Adolf Hitler in a mech suit, whimpers a tearful goodbye to his beloved Eva Braun as his skin melts of his bones:
Duke Nukem 3D: After being subdued by Duke, the alien Overlord suffers the ingnominious fate of having his head ripped off and his neck defecated on (or rather, down).
Burger Time: The protagonist is overwhelmed, beaten to death and devoured by giant walking hot dog weiners.
GTA: Vice City: Ricardo Diaz is killed execution-style by Tommy Vercetti and Lance Vance. The player views the scene through Diaz's POV as the fatal shots are fired.
Half-Life: The many gruesome and darkly comic deaths of scientists at Black Mesa, particulalry the one who is grabbed by the tentacle creature in Blast Pit and whose body is later discovered near the creature's corpse.
