BoingBoing has put together a montage of old school video game deaths from dozens of arcade games. If seeing over two minutes of lost lives doesn't break you the 8-bit chiptune rendition of Mad World by Tears for Fears will. Grab a kleenex, folks.

painiac

mexfreak99
Which one was the helicopter crashing? That game was hard!
Warsteel
@tool88- Galaga, Defender, Missile Command, Battlezone, Double Dragon, 1942, Rally X, Pac Man, Pac Man World(?), Paperboy, Golden Axe, Afterburner, Space Harrier- that's all I can recall from just the 1 see thru. Anyone else?
InnerRise
I really couldn't follow the tune. Wasn't a 1 to 1 ratio with the actual song. Killed it for me. Worse death of them all.
Jtoon
Brought back some memories but was kind of slow, almost made me fall asleep.
CustosIntusSilentium
Go to
http://www.youtube-mp3.org/< br />To download the Midi from the video. Got to the Youtube site and copy/paste the URL.
tool88
Now something really tough,try naming all the video games in this clip. I'll start with a couple Street Fighter 2,Afterburner and Magician Lord
miracledirt
I always think about the Gears of War trailer when I hear Mad World. Really cool trailer.
moeqawama
I love the tune of the video... good stuff!
permanent_nirvana
Robocop.
Mutak
Best part is the midi version of Mad World - that's sweet.
Why13

SladeDeschain
