If you failed, one of the hostages would be deleted from the disk - permanently. Sub Mission, a 1986 submarine game from Mindscape, pit you against an underwater warlord holding two hostages.There's actually an achievement for dying 100 times, a testament to the fact that you've wasted over an hour repeatedly watching your corpse being carried off. Then the realization sinks in that the dying animation with the Valkyrie coming down takes a good 45 seconds and can't be skipped, so if you die a lot, it actually starts to make you not want to play anymore.

In Too Human, it first appears that Death Is a Slap on the Wrist.Spending Energy seems okay for the first 2 or so deaths, but each time you die, the cost doubles.the decision to turn back after already spending lots of energy on multiple revives is a difficult one, indeed. In Spiral Knights, if you die, you have three options: get resurrected by having another party member sacrifice half of their HP to give to you, spend Energy (which can be bought with real money, but slowly regenerates naturally), or just give up and return to the Lobby.You have to go through those sewers again.

This trope usually applies to games that use a health bar system or life count. Have a Nice Death! No problem, you'll just continue and try again, right? Not quite!
