PushingUpRose's Top Ten Favorite Sierra Deaths

Post by Datadog »

Pretty funny video, and I can't help but agree on a bunch of these! No cat-tripping or unstable ordnance, though.

Amusing. Someone ought to grab Jules since she would approve of the choice for number one.

Nice! Wonder why she felt compelled to use Clock Tower- sounds, though that music is awesome.
:) Not sure what my favourite Sierra death is now that I'm getting through King's Quest. Turning into a cat, drowning in cellulite, playing tiddly-winks for all eternity, GK1 car crash, intoxicated taxi driver, "Only in Soviet Russia do women (fill in the blank)"... playing bagpipes of course...

The nostalgia! I haven't played some of those for quite some time.

I recall getting stuck in CB once and deciding to spend my time finding out how many ways Laura could die. That game was thorough! It was kind of awesome.

One I particularly remember from Space Quest 3 was when you're on Ortega and you walk over an unstable piece of ground with volcanic cracks all around it. Needless to say, Roger goes plunging into the lava and it responds with the horrific death screen showing him with his skin burned off and saying something about fondue. Ewww. Just ewww. Of course, I was younger and less squeamish at the time, so I was thought it was hilarious.

Oh Sierra.

Nostalgic for me too. Makes me want to go back and play them again.

She just released a Death in Video Games Retrospective, and her first episode covers "The Dagger of Amon Ra" along with the science behind impaling someone on a porcupine (among other things).
