Is there a more infamous game over screen in retro video gaming history?

What’s infamous about it, it’s only popular now because of avgn. I don’t remember anyone talking about this before then.

Most people are barely aware of nes SS and even less people have first hand experience. You're not wrong, but technically not right.

The dissolve from that screen to himself imitating the pose is one of the funniest things James ever did.
The game was already infamous for being hard before the AVGN episode, but I don't think the game over screen in particular was infamous.

This may not be as infamous as OP, but it's every bit as demoralizing.

As if watching your hero die wasn't bad enough, the game also makes you watch a desperate Sumner get yanked into Hell.
