Description

We've all seen that screen. You have expired... you are dead... game over! The message varies. Sometimes the screen fades to a macabre red, perhaps the camera slowly wavers lazily about the screen? Maybe your brave heroine whimpers, moans, grunts, or gasps as she sinks to her knees and slumps over? If the game is old enough, there might be a countdown from 10, asking you if you want to continue? (for a nominal fee, of course!) Or in the modern era, the question to continue is more binary: Yes? No? Either way, as she lays there, fallen, the story is always the same. You failed in combat, you ran out of offensive or defensive inventory. Perhaps you trusted the wrong person, were too slow at the controls, made the wrong selection, walked to close to the edge. Once upon a time, games were pixel perfect in the sense that walking one pixel too far meant... a poor girl falls screaming to her... you guessed it... untimely end.

So be careful out there female adventurers! There's a whole lot of ways this can happen to you, and there's many ways it might get worded. But all of them amount to the same thing: It's game over for you!
