10 Unintentionally Hilarious Gaming Cutscenes
4. She Must Be Dead By Now - Time Crisis
The clock is always ticking in Time Crisis, Namco’s vintage light gun adventure.
For hero Richard, time is money as he blasts his way through scene after scene of the point and shoot action game. His ultimate, and highly original goal is to rescue the president’s daughter before it’s too late - which in this game means before the clock winds down to zero.
So it only makes sense that he doesn’t have time to listen to anything but the most essential of information.
After besting a group of clawed ninjas, Richard confronts the head honcho, silently prompting him to spill the proverbial beans. The voice that comes out of the villain’s mouth, however, is a hilarious display of dissonance; possibly the least ninja-ish voice imaginable:
“It’s all over! The girl’s at the top of that tower. She MUST be dead by now!”
Short and sweet. The hilarity of the scene is only amplified by the incredible comic timing as Richard immediately knocks the ninja out; presumably for his displeasing words, but also possibly to put an end to that weird voice.
