The one game I beat on my old 8 bit computer Gryzor known as Contra in the US had an ending that shocked and horrified me.
Upon beating the final boss I was greeted with a screen showing the earth from space with the words "congratulations you have defeated the evil aliens and saved the world" then suddenly the earth was ripped apart by explosions and left as a brown wasteland and the words changed to say "sadly the alien mother had fussed her self with the world and killing her caused its destruction".
I was kind of shell-shocked, you didn't beat 8 bit computer games no one expected you to so having beaten one I expected so sort of ticker tape parade in my honour or at lest a congratulations not the destruction of the world.
