Games back then understood that when you reach the end of the program, that's it, there's no more software

played ffvii for the first time last year, was incredibly emotional over how it utilized this exact move for its ending

Well, aside from the physical cartridge thing

Funny version of this is Super Sprint on NES on one of those rogue Tengen carts. Once you finish the last race it dumps you into a new race but with buffer overflow glitches that get worse the longer you play

when me and my friends recently finished final fantasy crystal chronicles for the first time and we all saw the end screen actually just stop and end at the closed book it made us legitimately really emotional. there's something tangible to the finality of basically hanging the console on the end

Sure you can. Video game that reboots your computer into a micro installation of Linux that shows the end credits and the only way to exit is to reboot back into your OS

This always made me feel satisfied back in the day.

I will say, I do like when games force quit or intentionally crash as soon as the credits end. It's a good bit. It feels good. Works for the medium.

Genuinely my most memorable moment in MIDSOMMAR for me is the interplay of the final image and "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" crooning over the credits. Just a peak moment.

It's like when a vinyl record is recorded with the locked groove in mind and you have to physically take the needle off the disc. I remember the remake of Twin Fantasy did this and it was such a good way to end it

When I get to the ending of Secret of Mana, I let the ending scene just play on loop because the music is so beautiful

Its funny cause capcom does this a lot on the snes even though the console is perfectly able to just go back to the title screen

Me sitting in the theatre during the ending credits while the staff mops around me.

this shit better be 1:1 or else

Video games lost something when they stopped feeling like something your TV wasn't supposed to be doing.

This ending from Ergheiz will always be my favourite looping ending. My cousin's and I let this go for an entire weekend once. youtu.be/xxd8WX2hg0k

:')

I fucking love Mario 64's credits. The sweeping views combined with the credits theme gets me every time.
