Here's another:

Koudelka?

Didn't see this the first time around. It's an oldie but a goodie: The 7th Guest. _{^{You're right, that was pretty easy.}}

Saitou: Ding! That is correct. It's my favorite game as well; I really ought to start an appreciation thread one of these days...

[mordax]

Hi guys.
This is my first post at SD.

Here are some of my favorites:

- All of your mortal friends die, and you go to your final punishment.

- A mysterious group plots your downfall.

- There's fireworks...and a parade.

- The world is saved, but inhabited by dinosaurs.

- You will yourself right out of existence.

And, it's an arcade game, but still worth it:
- The President takes you out for a hamburger.

Chrono Trigger (this game is such a mine for endings)

Mahaloth is correct, of course--mine was Phantasmagoria, home of one of the dumbest protagonists in the history of gaming.

Here's another:
By use of a clever bit of sabotage and a lot of frantic running away, you arrange for the main bad guy to off himself in a really nasty fashion.

Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal, Orc Campaign?

[Greyson3]

After creating the legendary fifth sword from four other swords, you go to destroy the big computer in the floating tower.

That would be Crystalis sir.

Ho ho, I've got some. Except for the sixth one, they're all from my favorite games, or the ones that haven't been mentioned yet.

PSX

Two artists, a photographer, a talk show host, a model, and you... but what happened to the Snow Queen?

A flower blooms on the ruins of a city encased in flesh, which is kind of gross once you think about it.


SNES

In the end you get the girl, but God takes away your memories. Stupid God.

An unsuspecting hero with inexplicably wind-blown hair and his bratty girlfriend usher in a new age with pencils and backpacks and lunchboxes for all. Hooray.

A reincarnated seagull gets some hot Scandinavian loving.

The main characters both die, but then go back home to see their stupid baby boy.

You destroy the aptly named boss of Drake Inc and live on in a happy, karma filled-life and plus a nifty pair of shades.

One of the Ceasar games (wild guess)?

[Salix]

Illusion of Gaia?

Lufia 2? Of course, this isn't really a spoiler if you've played the beginning of Lufia 1...

[Greyson3]

Yep, right on both counts.

Indeed. The Crystalis one was right two. Those two games rock. I'm surprised no one has gotten this one yet:

The mysterious figure is not who the mental patient thought he was.

[Journeyman]

God, what was that game called...

Sanitarium?

Revelations Persona?

[shmigheghi]

Oh...

Rasin Blobs- Zero Wing


Here's a really obscure one, pat yourself on the back if you've played this:

Galaxy is encased in some sno-globe like thing, you and friends go in front of court to testify why the galaxy shouldn't be shut down. You give them chocolate and something else and save the earth.

[Meleemancer]

John Corrado, correct with Civ/Civ2. I really can't wait for the third installment to come out.

After being rescued by your brother and stopping the crazy transvestite, you finally escape Antarctica.
Resident Evil - CODE: Veronica.

There's fireworks...and a parade.
Possibly Super Mario RPG? Or its sequel, Paper Mario?

In the end you get the girl, but God takes away your memories. Stupid God.
Is this Soul Blazer? It's been years.

I guess it's been long enough. While the games I chose weren't very obscure, I suppose my descriptions of them were too much so. Here are the remaining three:

A candid home video is made. Final Fantasy VIII. I know someone out there has to have played this to completion, given all the obscure RPGs I saw out there. Oh well.

The new ruler kills his wife. Final Fantasy Tactics. Again, a big-name game, good enough for a classic re-issue. In this case, the ruler is your best friend, who ends up taking the credit for your victories. And marrying into royalty before eliminating it.

The new ruler kills his best friend. Suikoden II, one of the best lesser-known RPGs on the Playstation. In this case, you are the ruler, and this is the "worst ending", but also the only one that the majority of people who played this will see.

Rasin Blobs- Zero Wing

Yes!

Is it Terranigma? (SNES)

Yes! I guessed that for someone else's clue as well, because it was another aspect of the ending... but I guess I was wrong. Here's what I was trying to guess:

The villain is not actualy the bad one. Your party actually is(what a mind-frell this was). The whole game, you were actually fighting good, not evil.

This just sounds like such a cool premise, and I might have even played a game like this, but I can't figure out what it is! It sounds like it must be a RPG...

[Stealth]

I don't know Salix. That sounds a lot like Terranigma to me too. The problem is that, in Terranigma, you we're fighting evil when you first fell to earth because you had to revive civilization. So you were always fighting for evil but not strictly fighting against good. Man I love that game.
Many RPGs contain aspects from other games so sometimes it's hard to say what's what.

Diablo 2?

[Heath Doolin]

Yer going down ppl

-A load of wind up rabbits cross the road

-Yer pal you were sent to protect is in fact using you for evil purposes, so you take him down and escape the island

-The guild welcomes you back, having defeated the oncoming evil. You tell them in small talk to piss off but they say it is written in their ancient texts that you will return. (AND THEY DAMN WELL BETTER MAKE THE NEXT GAME)

-Having went through mountains of enemies, you finally lead the main boss under his own ufo and turn him into toast by making the big beam fire down on him

-You kick the main bosses head for a field goal

-You and your gang have established yourself as the best tag gang in the city

-You get arrested, thrown into a police car and carted off with a smug look on your face.

-The enemy you thought you killed once returns to make a deal but after careful consideration, you tell it to go to hell and blast it. However, the other couple that escaped harbor a secret in their pod.

-Your family is re-established as the royalty of the clan after you and your warriors take the pyramid stronghold from the captain and his royal guard.

-You and your babe snowmobile off into the Alaskan Wilderness

-Your find out your main instigator is your father and you reject his offer to take over the park.

-You finally blast the crap outta Mr. Smiley and use the train to escape the city.

-You head off to China on a boat...seeking vengence and a cute chick from your dreams

[mordax]

Balance:

Yep, Chrono Trigger.

Mind Gamer:

Nope. Also Chrono Trigger, although I s'pose my clue was too vague.

[Badtz Maru]

A mysterious group plots your downfall.

Baldur's Gate 2

[Kathara]

You kick the main bosses head for a field goal

Banjo-Tooie?

You and your gang have established yourself as the best tag gang in the city

Jet Grind Radio?

You finally blast the crap outta Mr. Smiley and use the train to escape the city.

Uh, Resident Evil 2? (Probably not...)

Well, no one has been able to guess this one. It's Tales of Phantasia for the SNES. Davos is the main villain, but he was trying to save his own planet. In the end, you killl him but the Spirit in the Tree ressurects him and they go to save his world. Throughout the game, members of your party stop and wonder what Davos is all about, but they ultimately decide to fight him anyway. WEIRD GAME.

The one where you only exist in someone else's dream? Final Fantasy X

Really? I'm just in the middle of that one now. Well that's what I get for coming in here I guess.

[andrew dupont]

You are lost in deep space and place yourself in suspended animation.
Flashback for the Genesis and SNES. What an awesome game.

[Mekhazzio]

Chocobo:
The cloaking device fails in hyperspace, destroying the traitor's ship.

TIE Fighter, Collector's CDROM. And goddamn was that MUTR-swarm mission hard

John Corrado:
You defeat the rogue AI and manage to save the Net.

Having saved Germany from the Apocalypse, your names are forever legend.

First could be many things, but I'll guess System Shock.

Second: Darklands

Greyson3:
You destroy the aptly named boss of Drake Inc and live on in a happy, karma filled-life and plus a nifty pair of shades.

Shadowrun, SNES version. Sexy dragon he was, too Nice touch how you needed a demigod to even have a hope of killing 'em.

Heath Doolin:

First, Thief 2. Great sequel

Second, System Shock 2. AWFUL sequel, hideous, retch.

I'd offer one of my own, but seeing as how most of my games are wargames and combat simulations, most of the endings are "and you win the battle"

Is THAT how it ended? I could never make it past the Jester Spirit. What was I doing wrong?

[andrew dupont]

-A load of wind up rabbits cross the road
Is that Full Throttle? I could have sworn that wind-up rabbits were involved somewhere in that game.

[Mekhazzio]

The vampire doesn't actually give you the real name of the Jester at first. He initially feeds you some BS so you go off and get your punk self killed challenging an immortal. To get the spirit's real name from the vampire, you have to wave a stake at him.

[Heath Doolin]

Hey you guys have gotten the ones your guessed right so far

and a golf clap for the one that guessed Full Throttle...if you turned off the game during the long credits you would have missed the wind up bunnies.

D'oh! Now I need to find a SNES, and that game. You know what would be cool? A version for PS2

[Salix]

The enemy you thought you killed once returns to make a deal but after careful consideration, you tell it to go to hell and blast it. However, the other couple that escaped harbor a secret in their pod.

The villain still lives, in the body of one of the two characters you thought had escaped!

Mine is the second one, but don't bother answering it because it's the same game, System Shock 2.

Having went through mountains of enemies, you finally lead the main boss under his own ufo and turn him into toast by making the big beam fire down on him

Serious Sam?

Have to do a bit more than wave the stake. First you need to get the strobe light from the club (Is it The Jagged Nails club? I can't remember, the one Kitsune is in) and then use it to blind him.

A PS2 version would be pretty cool. Just imagine what the decking bits would be like!

[robertliguori]

Through skill at weapons, spells, sheer willpower, use of an oxymoronic weapon, tattoo, or quick-talking abilities, you convince the person who has been trying to kill you since before the start of the game to do so. You die, and go off to undertake actions that will likely unbalance the multiverse.

Earthbound. I love that game.

Is that the game with Ness? I only know of him via Super Smash Bros. (love that jump).



The curtain falls. The Princess apparently kisses you (how disappointing. I waited 7 years for grumble, grumble...)

You get into Miranda's clubhouse.

Your opponet says something with dots, the credits roll, and he disappears. (Hint: 3 answers.)

Your opponet lands, cries and runs away with you following behind trying to console him.

You disappear into the tides of time. (Big hint)

Jeez... I don't know my console games at all, and everyone else has already gotten all the PC games (I think). So, here's a few of my own. One is really old, one is sort of old, and two are (relatively) new. One's really easy too.

PC

- A young neuroscientist is disconnected from the colony ship. She is the last to set foot on the planet of the colony's origin.

- Drink a cup of real tea and step (most improbably) out of your starship onto the surface of an ancient world.

- Your character beheads one guy who is already dead, kills a distinctly Lovecraftian creature, and your stone is taken by someone you've already killed.

Sega (multiple platforms)

- You rescue your family from a bunch of aliens and get them back to the oceans of Earth.

[Avalonian]

Ecco: The Tides of Time... which means you'll probably get one of mine straight away.

[Wolfian]

I think I'll let someone else take that one but I get it.

2)Which old PC game ends with the line "Tell me <name removed> have you ever heard of Cthulhu?"

Wild guess, but "Shadow of the Comet: Call of Cthulhu?" I have this CD right here, but I was never able to get too far in the game.

[capacitor]

I have some:

You join forces of two of your former enemies to take over the world.

NYC is blown up.
