Ultima Online definately has some heartbreaker death scenarios for anyone who has played it. Spending countless hours building up your char and gathering weapons and equipment only to be killed by a gang of a dozen player killers. And even when I got into PVP combat, lag was a more fierce killer than any opponent I could find.
In my friend’s Duke Nukem 3d for the N64, there is a level where you are in a Zepplin, and you cannot fire weapons while in the balloon part. so i go to fist mode, and walk forever to the edge of the balloon, and punch, just to see what happens. apparantly, punching produces sparks, cuz the zepplin blew up!
the lamest death my friend had was in Perfect Dark, multiplayer, he chucked a Proximity mine at me, it landed on my head, so i ran toward him, killing us both!
One time when I was playing Final Fantasy 6, I had gotten to the Floating Continent and was fighting one of the dragons there. The thing had sneezed Terra and Shadow off the screen and killed Celes. All I had left was Locke, low on health and magic. I’ve been fighting this thing for awhile now, thinking maybe he’ll fall in the next few rounds. Anyway, I cast Bolt2 and save, (I was playing on an emulator, and could save anywhere) and the dragon instantly freezes Locke. I couldn’t do anything, just sit there and wait to die. I had been saving over my previous saves, and had only one seperate save file. Way back when you first get Gau. I felt sick, game over and I had to play everything from Gau to the Floating Continent over again.
Of course, what I COMPLETELY FORGOT was that if there are characters sneezed off the screen, the party is still alive even if you lost the battle. By the time I remembered that, though, I had already saved over that save.
Every time I died trying to go “down” a ladder in an FPS but instead ended up throwing myself over a ledge.
Bwah-hahahahaha…!
Oh, god.

…when there’s MMORPG and FPS deaths to relate!
Such as crouching and throwing a grenade in Counterstrike, only to have a teammate step in front of me just as I release it. The grenade hits him in the back, falls to the ground between us, and kills us both. I lose one frag for the suicide, and lose another for the team-kill.
Or running up to a non-aggro dragon in Everquest, intending to hug her as a joke. However, as I was typing my comment to the NPC dragon, I forgot to hit Enter to give me a prompt - and when I pressed A, I went into auto-melee-attack mode. I lasted two seconds before my necromancer was nothing more than a rapidly-spreading stain of blood.
I think you mean FF3. Unless 6 has the same basic plot.
The U.S. FF3 is actually the 6th in the series.
Ahhhh.
Here’s another pseudo-death for the FF series. In the first one I played for about 6 hours the first day and saved turned it off and went to bed. Woke up to find out the save didn’t work. grrrrrrrrrr
Not quite my death but I liked it: in my school we had a computer room with computers which would now be regarded as out of the dark ages (running BBC Basic!). All the computers were networked and some of us would spend our lunch breaks during cold wet afternoons playing one of those text based role playing games. Don’t remember what it was called but it was the classic: ‘Go through door’, ‘pick up item’, type gubbins.
I one day had a cunning plan (I’m sure I wasn’t the first person in the world to do this, but I would have been about 14, so not too bad): I’d call myself ‘bag of gold’.
So I could just wander around playing the game normally but get a cunning advantage. So some other kid would walk into a room I was in and they’d get the message:
“you come across bag of gold”;
So they’d type: “pick up bag of gold”.
…“bag of gold has just attacked you”
…Exasperated scream from across classroom.
BWAHAHAHAHA…
Seemed to stop working after a while.
