Best & Worst Game Endings ....

[satanic virus]

Simply, what are the best and worst game endings you have experienced on any console?

It does not matter if you cheated to get there, but what was on the screen?!

I remember finishing Shadow of The Beast on the Amiga years ago (virtually impossible game, could not do it now) and all I got was a congratulations screen - utter crap! Whereas with Double Dragon in arcade I felt I achieved something (apart from spending loads of credits <_< )

Name your best and worst endings you have seen to date ..

CONGLATURATION!
YOU HAVE COMPLETED A GREAT GAME, or something like that. From Ghostbusters on NES as seen on the angry whatever nerd video, the game is so pure shit that it makes you mad.

:lol: I know how you feel!

So many games have crap endings it is not funny. It seems like developers ran out of time/ money or else thought no one would actually complete their games!

 

[sand_man]

or they just dont expect anyone to get that far lol

 

[clarky2o2o]

best ending has to be ocarina of time.
worst ending has to be Turok dinosaur hunter 10 minutes of looking at a building.

wow both N64 games ...


my fondest ending has to be streets of rage where if you played 2 player and 1 says "no" at the very end you have to fight it out against the other player for the ultimate in good vs evil <_<

Worst ending: Legacy of the Wizard (NES) ... it took us months to get to the end:

2- frame 'dancing' animation, followed by credits. :lol:

Best was probably FF7 ... or maybe FF9.

[clarky2o2o]

For me one of the best game endings ever was the Secret of Monkey Island 2. What a funny twist to it all

Another good one is Spyro the Dragon, complete the game and you're taken on a little tour of the dragon kingdoms, after that you get the chance to go back and collect all the gems you missed and then you get a bonus level, and then another tour of the kingdoms.

And the worst ending was Resident Evil: Dead Aim. If I remember correctly, the game just sorta ends. I was very miffed.

Worse ending = any game that just says "To Be continued"

Even worse ending = any game that says "To Be Continued..." and never is

Do you mean the best or the worst? :blink:

For me, it's one of the worst game endings ever.

Oh, and the ending of Alex Kidd in miracle world. Great game but the ending is a text telling how happy they are now, followed by a "Game over" screen.

No that's the best ending ever, you will also note that I mentioned the worst one as well

I loved the Zero Wing Intro when i used to play it through my Dreamcast. 'All your base are belong to us!' Brilliant translation.

One of the worst endings in a game for me was KOTOR 2. That was terrible. And blatantly obvious that they are going to go back and make another one.

I can't remember much of it, but from what I remember I liked the ending to Beyond Good and Evil. Fantastic game. Just a shame that the sequel hinted to at the end of the first one will neevr happen.

Mostly all Atari XE/XL games from Poland [ LK. Avalon / Mirage / ASF prods ], have only "congratulations, you passed the game" or something similiar. That's suck, coz i spent many hr's to complete the game, and only thing the game offers me is "congratulations" text.

But the funniest game ending i saw on good ol PsOne Console , when i played "Simple 1500: The Sniper". The funniest thing is: The congratulations screen appears 10 minutes after playing [ really ], because The Sniper can be completed in 10 minutes. ...Thats sucks, really
