There are six millions ways to die, and game makers are working gradually to develop a sound sequence for every one of them. Here are our favorites, ranked according the way in which we'd most like to go out. (Feel free to add yours in the comments.)


12. Mike Tyson's Punch Out (1987, NES)


Death Sounds Like: "Wow wow wee waa!"
Why It's Here: Punctuating the pummeling you receive is the death knell we all dreaded, a loud whirr of terror issued by your limp body as it hits the floor for a third and final time. Adding insult to injury, your opponent, in teabag formation, squats and laughs in your face like he just took your prison cherry.
