And finally, we have "classic" 1985 action-strategy RPG Bokosuka Wars, which beat Resident Evil to the punch by more than a decade with its not-so-subtle Game Over mockery.

Now, Bokosuka Wars is quite infamous among retro gamers for its infuriating difficulty level due to the game's shambolically unresponsive controls, and if that doesn't get play off on the wrong foot, the cheeky Game Over screen - which reads "Wow! You lose!" - surely will.

Granted, most contemporary players probably won't play Bokosuka Wars long enough for that screen to annoy through repetition, but the audacity of delivering a game ill-fit for its purpose and then poking your tongue out at the player for dying is some straight-up bulls***.
