I dunno. The worst death I could possibly imagine would be getting dipped in boiling oil. The closest video game equivalent I can think of is in Metroid Zero, where Samus is slowly burned to death by the intense heat generated by lava in some rooms. Heaven help you if you go into one of these rooms without the Varia suit.

Right on! The spike death immediately came to mind when I read the subject. That would just suck.Originally Posted by Gamereviewgod
Some other worthy mentions are getting whipped to death by whores with purple afros, ala Double Dragon... and getting beaten to death by a gang of chicks with purses that's led by a big fat lady in a red dress, ala Renegade. To perish in either of those ways would just be wrong.
I haven't played some of these games you folks are talking about, but I always thought that in Lode Runner when you accidentally fall into one of your own holes and it slowly closes around you... that must suck. Not just painful but humiliating!
I'm pretty sure the Space Quest series had some of the most annoying and horrible deaths I can remember. Like: looking into a hole in the rock only to have a claw grab you and pull you into it and throw out your bones after the creature had eaten you. Or: playing the slot machine, only to have three skulls pop up and have the machine shoot a laser at you that turns you to ash. There were lots of others I don't remember, but I hated all of them.
You are startled by a grim snarl. Before you, you see 1 Red dragon. Will your stalwart band choose to (F)ight or (R)un?
I think Sniderman's mention of Pac Man takes the cake.
For me, though, the worst would be losing all honor by dying at the hands of a bunny rabbit. Name the game.
Secret of Mana (SNES)
being swallowed by one of the dragons in atari adventure and then spending the rest of eternity wiggling in his stomach. I always hated that.
