    Question What are some games that allow you to commit suicide?

    I don't mean just jumping off of a platform to your death, using a bazooka against a wall, or letting someone just kill you, I mean games that actually have an option for suicide (not forced suicide like in cases of mind control, I mean elective). I'm also including games where your character(s) (but not NPC's) has to commit suicide to advance the story, even if it's through a cut scene.

    Zillion - for the SEGA Master System lets you input a 'suicide code' into computer terminals which instantly kills your player (unless you use it in a secret room, in which case you get one of several messages).

    Revenge of Shinobi - for Genesis, IIRC, has a Ninjustsu were you commit an explosive form of suppeku, sort of, and I believe it costs you a life.

    What are some others?

    Portal and Portal 2.

    Portal 2 has at least two places where you can consciously end the game by killing yourself.

    Curse of Monkey Island comes to mind, though he really just faked his death.

    Mass Effect 2: Morinth
    Samara flat out tells you her daughter will kill you if you sleep with her due to a glitch in the way an asari 'mates' with another. If you actually sleep with her (which is your full 100% choice to make), you die. Suicide by orgasm.

    Samurai Shodown IV: Everyone.
    Each character could perform a suicide at any time to end the match. It would award the opponent the win.

    Holy shit! Are you kidding? I had NO idea. How do you do it? It would suck if someone didn't realize and did it in the middle of a heated game. I'll have to pick this game up at some point.

    theres a Vault in Fallout New Vegas that lets you commit suicide. Its a room vault dwellers created as a sacrifice room.. You can go knowingly and aware of whats going to happen and just have yourself get killed.

    I figured that there would be more of this in modern games, but I honestly thought that I made this thread in the retro forum. I do that a lot; I really need to pay better attention.

    I do feel like committing suicide when I play nearly anything on the N64.

    But obvious answer to Badinsults

    I think one of the first versions of leisure suit larry let you do that. hmm.... shadowgate lets you attack yourself. Does that count? You'll die.

    GTAIII - suicide by cop

    Most Worms games have a suicide option.

    Lemmings?

    Lots of early text adventures allow you to do just about anything including

    >kill self
    or
    >kill self with knife
    etc etc

    I remember the first time I played Pacific Fighters for the PC online with a bunch of people. Was in a Japanese aircraft on a mission to attack an American fleet when a Corsair jumped me and started a massive fire before I could escape that was going to be the end of me after a minute or two.

    Figuring since it was a sim, I aimed for the nearest ship.

    Edit - Scribblenauts on the DS has at least a few such options. A flood or nuclear blast (even if you build a bomb shelter and enter it beforehand) seem to be an automatic death as far as I can tell.

    I guess you could said the "I'm outta here!" death in Sonic CD qualifies but its a bit of a stretch.

    Pretty much every game ever lets you willingly kill yourself. A better question would be 'what are some games that prevent you from committing suicide'?

    I don't recall which game it was, maybe pac-man 2 on genesis(?), but through a series of deliberate choices you could make your character so depressed he kills himself. Now I can't remember if I did this, watched someone do it, or just read about it somewhere (in which case it might not even be real).

    Arguably any game with a "give up" option.

    How about the Adventures of O games?

    Did Solstice have a kill switch? A few NES games had the "hit select" kill but it's too early to think of many right now >.<
    <Sothy> its the internet <Sothy> who cares

    Yoshimitsu can impale himself on his sword in the Tekken games.

    Braid pretty much revolves around the idea of never dying unless there is some ending twist or section I haven't gotten to yet.

    I remember Postal had a key that was labelled something like, "F*ck This." Pressing it would make your character point his gun at his own head and shoot.
