10 MORE Secret Game Over Screens That Were Absolute Genius

6. Leisure Suit Larry - Waiting Too Long

Now there are many MANY ways to fail in Leisure Suit Larry, you can get run over by cars, catch all manner of sexual diseases and even trigger a special animation where the game breaks the fourth wall, showcasing hundreds of Larry clones which gets so meta it gives me a headache.

The aim of the game is for this bag of grease and sperm to lose his virginity before his time in this penis shaped town comes to an end. It’s never implied that he’s a virgin, but the game sure treats that word like it’s the worst thing in existence, as if you waste enough time you’ll trigger this special and depressing ending.

Upon realising that he won’t get his soap bar lathered and with the sun rising, Larry puts a gun to his head... and kills himself. It’s a monumental shift in tone for a game focused around cheesy comedy but that’s why it makes the list, because much like Larry’s failed sexual conquests, no one saw this coming.
