10 Most Disgusting Ways To Die In Gaming

6. Sonic the Hedgehog: Sega Genesis (1991) €“ Drowning

Why people think drowning is a peaceful way to die is beyond me. When you begin to drown, your body starts to convulse in an effort to make its way to the surface. Also, you will vomit uncontrollably to try regurgitate any water that you've swallowed, all whilst waves of panic and fear wash over you. Though we don't actually see any of that in Sega's 1991 classic, Sonic the Hedgehog, the music does that for us. Everyone knows as soon as that music begins to play, sh*t got real. And, you only have five seconds before you sink into the watery 8-bit depths and into a whole new brand of childhood trauma. Skip to 0:30 for drowning. Despite the fact that this isn't as visually disgusting as Halloween before it, I think that €“ like I said €“ people think drowning is a serene way to die is more than enough to warrant a high place on the list. That and the fact it's weirdly out of place in a pretty out-there, but still cute game.
