If you ever visit Boing Boing, you probably know that they have some pretty interesting tech-related articles and videos. If you have never visited Boing Boing, you probably should. At least check out this video, put together by Rob Beschizza with a little help from his friends.

In it you will see tons of death. The vid could be labeled 101 ways to die, but it doesn’t quite cover that many classic demises. It does, however, offer footage of some of the greatest and most classic 8-bit and 16-bit deaths from video gaming history as a compilation, accompanied by some funky 8-bit style tunes.

You will see many a space shooter and also some great brawling games and just plain classic platformers. Look for old school 8-bit games, such as Asteroids and Missile Command, good old coin ops like Gauntlet and Pac Man, and more modern retros, such as Mortal Kombat and Battle of Midway. The result is the same for each game, however. To quote Joust: “Thy Game Has Ended.”
