The 20 Cruelest Arcade Game Over Screens

Video games, especially in their origins in arcades, have always been associated with challenge and demand from players. Losing a life meant spending money. For this reason, one of the things that nobody wanted, under any circumstances, was to lose a continue.

The game over screen in video games reminded us that we had failed and that we had to dig into our pockets in search of more coins. Not pleasant. That is why some game over screens are engraved in our minds, because of their repeated appearance in difficult games, or because they were so sadistic or mocking that made us suffer even more the defeat

In this video I explore the history of arcade video games, in search of those game over screens that nobody wanted to see.

In this video you will find:

• A game curation showing gruesome bloody, disturbing and humilliating continue screens in arcade games
• Information related to each game such as release date, developer company, game genre and system it was released on.
• Official game box arts with a 3D presentation.
• Educative and/or critical comments on the importance of the video game and why you should play it

⚠️ All gameplay recording, game curation and opinions included in this video, as well as editing is completely done by me

Bits & Beats creates videos about the history of video games. In this channel you’ll find comparisons, retrospectives, technical analysis, but, mostly, game curations with the idea of having an important task of preserving video games, and make them relevant to society at large.

Curation isn’t just about digging up neat games, but it’s also about preservation, interpretation, and using one’s knowledge to make it relevant to people. With my videos I want older gamers to look back and remember the influence of video games on their lives, and new gamers to understand the larger context of the series they’re playing for the first time today.

I put significant time and creative effort into each one of my videos, including research, digging into archives, playing video games and recording hours of footage, selecting specific clips, writing reviews for each title, and making a very careful video editing in the way to transmit both educational and entertaining values to my audience. Every video takes a lot of hours to produce, because I strive to give my audience a consistent, high-quality content.

Fidelity and preservation of the video games is essential in Bits & Beats, so the recordings are made with the highest bitrate quality. It is done this way to preserve original game look and sound through modern footage, with no superfluous additions. I recommend you watch the video at 4K and 60 frames per second to get the best possible viewing experience.

I hope you enjoy my videos and find them useful!
