What games feature the Grim Reaper?

[Gemini-Phoenix]

A few games spring to mind when you mention the Grim Reaper.

Grim Fandango is the obvious one. Then after that...???


Discworld / Discworld II / Discworld Noir - What a great character! Funny, and um, funny.

Conker's Bad Fur Day - If you are good at games, chances are you'll not see this guy until you're halfway through the game. I know I didn't. If you suck, you'll see him early on, but that's a good thing, because he is useful. And funny. By far the best Grim Reaper in the history of gaming!


After these, I am lost. What other games feature the Grim Reaper? Or even references to our scythe carrying friend...

[Sotenga]

All Castlevania games (except for Haunted Castle) feature the Grim Reaper as a boss... 'cept for the first two Game Boy adventures, but a strong enemy known as the Zeldo is Reaper-esque. Oh, and Kid Icarus too. Ghoul Patrol for the SNES as well, you drink a red potion to turn into the Reaper and scythe yourself some ass. That's all I got fer now, but these probably aren't the only ones.

Grabbed by the Ghoulies rivals Conker as one of Deaths best outings. Pick up the dizzy death power up sometime!

[IntvGene]

Both of the Maximo games have a Grim Reaper character in them.

[Lothars]

I remember seeing a death reaper type character on devil may cry 3

[jajaja]

Paperboy (dont remember if its in both 1 and 2), Dragons Lair and Shadowgate.

[kainemaxwell]

Don't forget Grim Fandango's Manny!

[MegaDrive20XX]

Super SF2 or SSF2 Turbo...if you're near defeat...Lil Grim Reapers dance before you

and of course...GHOULS N GHOSTS for having tons of little "Mini-Death" characters running around during most of the stages

[Daft Punk]

Chiller on nes and arcade

death jr on psp

[Yamazaki]

Devil May Cry 3 has a quite scary Grimreaper.

[emumuumuucowgomoo]

This may be stretching it a bit... but Twisted Metal: Black featured Mr. Grimm, a motorcycle riding Vietnam vet who threw flaming scythes at you.

And... agh, I can't remember the name of the game, but it features little Grim Reapers who move in a hyperbolic fashion - ie, \_/ - if anyone remembers, my brain cells thank you.

[SuperNES]

in the Sims, whenever a character dies, the grim reaper comes and performs a little spell and takes them away.

[NeoZeedeater]

There's a mini Reaper in the first Wonder Boy.

[tony_good]

In Time Killers, the final battle is with the Grim Reaper, who then becomes a skeletal warrior.

[scooterb23]

I believe death makes an appearance in certain levels or Gauntlet as well. Drawing a blank on others right now.

[DDCecil]

Fatal/Count on Final Fantasy II/IVj summons the grim reaper, and you see him when you die on Secret of Mana (Plus Dark Lich kinda counts).

[SirDrexl]

Death Race by Exidy?

[jajaja]

Don't forget Grim Fandango's Manny!

Is this another Grim Fandango game?? Grim Fandango was already mentioned in the first post, so thats why I wonder.

[b0bby]

Conker's Bad Fur Day is the only one that comes to mind for me.

[mieu_c]

Most likely because they are new games :)

[Sothy]

You can see him in any Multiplayer First Person shooter if you arent on my team.

[Speedy_NES]

Death Race by Exidy?

Where does the grim reaper appear in this game? I just played through the NES version of Death Race recently and I don't remember any grim reaper - although my memory could be failing me ;)

in the Sims, whenever a character dies, the grim reaper comes and performs a little spell and takes them away.

Well, here is to 100% that:

In the Original Sims game, When a sim died, they just died. No grim reaper. But when the first expansion pack came along, That was added. You could plea to him, and you'd play Rock paper scissors to save the sim's life (If grim isn't in a hurry)If you won, Grim would not take the sim that died. He would return their life.

But if you lost, the sim that died would come back as a zombie. But you could go to someone and have the zombie turned back into human later (You had to have either Unleashed or Makin' Magic (Expansion packs) first before you could do this - i can't remember wich)

[SuperNES]

oh, i did'nt know that, because i have the sims deluxe which has house party included.

You must have The Sims: Double Deluxe, since the original one didn't include house party.
