The (going to be)
Ultimate List of DEATHS and DEAD ENDS
in ADVENTURE GAMES
(including some Role Playing Games as well)
WARNING: There is absolutely NO GUARANTEE
for the correctness of the given information! (So don't complain when you
die and realize you didn't save your game.)
REMARK: Since I don't know most of the following
games I
a) need information
to complete the list (YOUR information, that is)
b) didn't
try and test the following information, which leads me to the warning above
HOW TO READ THIS: If you don't have a working knowledge
of the English language you won't be able to read this. I won't tell you
what to do in that case because you couldn't read it anyway.
To get some information out of the following arrangement
of characters you should keep in mind that
a) Name
of the Game is - the name of the game
b) Chance
to Die is the possibility to die in this game (which might pose some
kind of a problem if you didn't save)
c) Dead
Ends means if it's possible to get stuck in this game - hopelessly
(no chance to finish without restarting/restoring)
