The great deaths of KQ

[Oldbushie]

You mean where he becomes a beast? I didn't think that was a death per se...

[Jafar]

Well, out of the 3 non-standard deaths, he only actually dies in one. Still, they end the game, so I call them deaths anyway.

[HavocWizard]

The remake of KQI. When Graham was killed in the garden of of the witch with the gingerbread house. It was along the lines of "RIP Sir Graham Cracker."

[Jafar]

Narrator: It's the Yeti! Run Graham!
Graham: *runs*
Yeti: *kills him anyway*
Narrator: What an abominable situation!

That thing moves alot faster on the second screen!

[Oldbushie]

I love just falling off the cliff in KQV...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"That last step was a doozy, Graham!"

Ugh, just hearing you guys talk about this stuff makes my skin crawl. KQ was a nightmare to me (quite literally so) when I was younger. Used to have countless nightmares about the death scenes in it and other Sierra games, especially KQ5 (Mordack in particular) scared the bejeezus out of me.

[Oldbushie]

The cave troll in KQ4 was the worst, IMO.

I had a nightmare about being chased by the murderer in Laura Bow 2! It was SOOOO scary.

[awesomeasapossum]

I don't think I ever had nightmares about KQ when I was little.

[Jafar]

I had one where the death music from Quest for Glory 2 was playing. Nothing actually HAPPENED, but it still scared me.

[MangoMercury]

Oh MANS.  I can totally remember having this ultra surreal KQ dream once, after I'd played KQ7.  It was really weird to think that a game had gotten me so much I was DREAMING about it!

[Oldbushie]

I hate when that happens with repetitive games.

[Rosella]

Oh! I had a dream about KQ7! This was before I actually got past the 1st chapter. All I knew about the future of the game was the pictures on the back of the cd case.

I was Valanice, but I found a way to get to a screen behind the kangaroo rat's house, and it got all dark and spooky. I walked one more screen forward and the Boogieman jumped up and ate me.

"That last step was a doozy, Graham!"

I remember that death scream being so loud, that I'd mute the computer during the entire mountain sequence.  How can an old guy like Graham SCREAM LIKE THAT?

[rosellafan]

Well, since the topic of creepy deaths came up, I thought I would add my own tribute to the creepy deaths of KQ as the resident Rosella killer    :  "To wander forever is now your fate..."

[MangoMercury]

Oh mans, rosellafan, that's a CREEPY DEATH!

And I need to play KQ7 again, for serious.  And the others too >_>;;

[Rosella]

No! I'm too pretty to die!

Er...I mean....

[Amayirot Akago]

One death message I've always loved is in KQ1VGA - when Graham stays underwater in the well for too long and drowns:

"Well well well! Water you going to do now?"

[Erik]

Thanks a lot!  The space quest 1 VGA deaths are especially grim.

[dark-daventry]

I have always found death messages to be funny, as well as the ways to die...
