8 Video Games That Won't Let You Quit!

4. You're Taking The Dress Dammit! - Rambo (NES)

Psychonauts 2
Acclaim

Rambo for the NES is a weird game, and when you consider the other off-the-wall titles that called Nintendo's grey powerhouse home, that's a bit of a statement.

You see, while the game itself is pretty fun, outside of being absolutely balls to the wall hard, it's also a title that takes its source material rather seriously, but only when it comes to following minute plot points of the film. Across the experience, the player is presented with multiple choices they can make, from denying the mission in the first place in favour of staying in prison, which radio frequency to call in order to enlist help and even whether you want to trade your gun for a dress (no seriously).

What makes all of these moments so deliciously odd though is that you cannot refuse any of them. Seriously, even though each scenario presents a choice, the player cannot refuse the offers and must select the right response or the game just repeats over and over again. The opening "choice" as to whether you even want to begin the game, breaks the fourth wall with the military officer stating "The game doesn't begin until you select the other option"

You can't quit until the mission is done, soldier!
