Best TG-16 (or PCE, really, if you like) game ending

[spenoza]

OK folks. I'm curious as to what your favorite game endings are and why. Personally, I'm fond of Gate of Thunder's ending, just because it summed up the game experience nicely. The music was cool as well. Also, the end of Soldier Blade where it appears your recurring opponent is not, indeed, completely defeated, is very cool.

I don't think that anyone who's played through Far East Of Eden: Fuun Kabuki Den would argue that it has the best ending.

That was a thoroughly unexpected take on my query    Any endings you happen to really like?

I can't really think of any Turbo game endings that stood out to me.

Video games tend to generally have pretty lackluster endings anyway. It's not a matter of "Does game x have a crappy ending?" but rather "Just how crappy was it?"

For the most part, games usually end with a "Game Over"/"The End" blurb. If you're lucky you'll get a pretty still shot or something and/or a credit roll. In extreme cases you may be graced with an "Epirogue".

I thought Lords of Thunder had a pretty cool ending.

Gates and Kabuki Den had great endings.

Some of my top favorites are in Dragon Slayer and all of the Ys games. Those games had incredible and warm endings that really touched the heart. Cosmic Fantasy 2 also had a mind blowing ending.

I like the ending in Vigilante  Its soo bad-ass

Ys I.II has not only good memories for me, but also two of the best music tracks on any game ever.

Totally agreed!

The ending to John Madden Duo CD Football is, like, totally rad!  Very dramatic and you breathe a huge sigh of relief once you find out that you saved the world after all your effort.

Other cool endings:

Cosmic Fantasy II
Golden Axe
Super Darius

Seriously, its not like, "I love this game and the ending's cool, so therefore its teh best!" or anything. Kabukiden really does have some very unbelievable and unique events within its general ending that stands out among games in general.

Have you ever tried the bit where you keep crouching at the lever and as madonna gets lowered down she continues to drop down down down....

yup ys book 1&2 great story and yup the warm fuzzy feeling just put a tear in my eye..

Also enjoyed the ending to Rainbow Islands for the surprised jpop song sung at the end.

for HUcards:

Street Figher II' champion ed for all the different endings..

Parodius 4 x endings are excellent and so to is Salamander's..

Bomberman 93' for the great ending bgm

Dragon Spirit's ending inpressed me especially for one of the early games.. i think it was of the raster effects

Ys I.II has not only good memories for me, but also two of the best music tracks on any game ever.

Only two!? Which ones?

  Dude, that's one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

I actually loved the ending to Madden DUO.

It was a nice tribute to the guys at Hudson, and sort of a last hurrah for the DUO in the U.S.

Seriously!

Arrr, I hate Madden but I so want to play the Duo version!!!!!
