THe Dig?
You’re correct on both. That game irritated me.
We had freespace 2 up in the “Sacrifice yourself while aliens blow up the star”.
BTW, did anyone else completely not get what that was all about? The aliens show up, there are many big battles, they bringnup the killer star fleet that could crush your whole species, and then…
they blow up one system (presumably including the jump points) and the games over?
ANd my character didn’t die… he just… made a last minute jump and couldn’t go bak to fight anymroe… yeah… so he went deep underground… sure.
Hmm, lets see…
You defeat the big bad boss. No one knows exactly why you just did this, least of all you, but you did. Then your best friend becomes a King through no virtue of his own and murders his bride, for no apparent reason. She may or may have been actual royalty. The game ends without even definitively telling you whether you lived or died.
Oooooh! I know
You beat, smash, and otherwise pound into the ground the super-mage boss in your own semi-inherited Hellish real estate.
-
Your young daughter shoots the final bad guy with a revolver.
-
You get the girl and your efforts have enabled, among other things, humanity to communicate telepathically thus making the phone company obsolete.
-
Using the Quasar Key in the OSHA room, you destroyed the base and saved the world. All without leaving Nevada.
The first one is easy. Outlaws
Is the 2nd one supposed to be Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders?

Hah, Gold Rush, one of the few games I ever went through again and againto get every possible point. Taught me that Polk was president in 1848. Man, talk about an impressionable kid.
Best game ever. Scared the hell outa me!
Sounds like** Baldur’s Gate 2 ** to me.
Only 12 people bought this game:
You drive through the streets of Vegas battling Ronald Reagan, who pilots a giant robot.
Having defeated the other four with customized chunks of Blackrock, you become the Titan of Ether.
Final Fantasy Tactics.
IIRC, the SNES one where you save the world from Nothing is Final Fantasy V.
One other SNES game:
– Everyone is really cows in disguise. (Certainly one of the more completely sensical endings out there.)
The only ones I could guess have already been solved – some (like Final Fantasy X) twice…
Here’s some new ones.
–As you and the girl get out of the stolen prototype fighter, your commander gives you a medal. You and the girl smooch. Afterwards, the fighter self-destructs.
–You leave the boat and run along the beach, and find the mysterious girl that you thought had died in the castle, alive and washed up on the shore.
–The Bad Guy and his satellite fall from the gantry, causing the missile to explode just after liftoff.
–You, astride your horse, gaze at the top of the castle. The lady, standing at the top of the castle, gazes out at the forest. After a moment, you both turn away.
–You’ve defeated the four best of the best, one after the other, only to find yourself facing the hero of the TV show in the final battle.
–The final shot is of the American flag being raised into a sunset sky…but for some reason, it’s conical, with two little arms and a few suckers…
Actually both those clues fit “Sanitarium.” It still rings familiar in another game though - Lord knows I can’t miss a game with a mental patient.
Rebel Assualt 2
Time Crisis 2?
Smash TV?
Day of the tentacle?
Is that Panzer Dragoon Orta?
Out of This World?
I loved that game. 
Interstate '82
For PS1:
(One of several possible endings)
Your character died in a car crash and the whole game was his dying dream.
Correct!
Right!
Nope!
Exactly!
When the flag went up, I started laughing. I continued laughing through the credits. Then, when Purple Tentacle replaced the LucasArts stick figure guy in the logo, I completely lost it. My mom had to come downstairs to see what was going on…
