'Army Men'....stupid land mines.
"They are a curious thing, these emotions. How they fly in the face of logic, how they overrule the most basic instincts. Because, in the measure of time, in the measure of humanity, we sense those self-indulgent instincts to be a weakness, we sense that the needs of the community must outweight the desires of the one. Only when we admit to our failures and recognize our weaknesses can we rise above them. Together." -Drizzt Do'Urden

Army Men was a time waster. Worms was better, IMO... since it at least used humor.

Going in with three quarters of your health gone then taking the *beep* down to a quarter health without taking a shot then he parrys and slices your guts out. Prince of Persia for dreamcast.

A bad way to die in a game...In game SNAKE, where you collect apples to grow longer, the worst way to die is to eat yourself...or run into your own arse.

Hmm, I can't think of any other horrible ways to die (other than falling off the track in a racing game). Instead, what about the best way to die?

I'll tell you the best way to go down. When playing a strategy game, whetehr turn-based or real-time, even when you know you're going down, fight to the very last man, sabatoge everything and make their life a living hell right up until the bitter end. You gotta love it when someone begs you to just give up because they have something better to do or someone else to fight

Exactly. Fight to the bitter end, disrupting everything that they do with lightning raids on resource nodes and undefended infrastructure. It requires them to spend lots on defences they wouldn't otherwise need (and some that are still ineffective sometimes)

Agreed and sometimes you might just win.
