I'm going to have to go with AoS here. Not only is it the best visually, it even makes a neat easter egg appearance in the Dance Hall.

Spiffy.

RoBs Maria is the best :P


Now seriosly the best one to me is the PoR sisters one. Blood crying Virgins just are awesome

Belmont's Revenge
It has no picture but the rage I feel when I see it makes it special ;)

As far as picture goes Dracula on his throne from OoE by far.

I must say, I am partial to COTM.

Also, Dawn of Sorrow's is just plain ugly to me.  It looks like a good artist's first attempt at Adobe Illustrator.

I'd say the gameover screen for CV the Adventure (The gameboy original of course). Same reason as Alutwon's explination. It just pisses you right off cause it's such a frustrating game!!  >:(

I've always liked Cotm. The purples and gargoyles grey go together nice.

OOE - Dracula on the throne.
Then - COTM, AOS and CV64.

Many of the "Game Over" screens make no sense.

I don't really like how the OoE ones just reuse art from the intro and shift the colors around a bit.

SotN one. I've always loved it. It's like it's telling me to take a break, go out and have fun.

Yep. The PoR pictures are messed up and have one of the best jingles.

I have a soft spot for LET US GO OUT THIS EVENING FOR PLEASURE. THE NIGHT IS STILL YOUNG.

I always liked the AoS picture best, although I also really like the PoR and CV64 screens. The game over screen was one of the only good things about PoR.

The game over screen was one of the only good things about PoR.
Not to mention the joy when Jonathan and Charlotte get killed. LOL

Aos hands down, but Legends is surprisingly cool despite it being a GB game.

I think I like OoE the best. CotM would be much cooler if the gargoyle didn't look like it was about to vomit. And I loved the HoD Game Over tune so much that I used it as the Shut Down music on my old computer.  ;D

Post by: Vlad_TepeZ on December 07, 2010, 03:36:53 PM
Best is definitely CotM!

PoR, CotM, and SoTN.

The first PoR screen scared the living daylights out of me when I first saw it, mostly because I wasn't expecting it, but the next day I was talking to my friend about how awesome it'd be as a tattoo. :D
The bleeding Virgin screen, though, I found awesome, if not a little sad.

CotM's screen carried an air of melancholy for me. I don't know why. It was probably the music.

SoTN: LET US GO OUT FOR PLEASURE. THE NIGHT IS STILL YOUNG. Need I say more?

I like the Adventure Rebirth game over screen the best. It has the animated skull and the 16-bit laugh sound effect.

Runner up for me however would be AoS because I was able to find that painting in-game which was pretty awesome.
