Wasn’t there a GameCube game that did shit like that? Like if your sanity meter got too low the game would mess with you?

Edit: Found it

Just imagine the Psycho Mantis fight if he could actually launch the disc out of the PS1 at you. 😳

"I see you have played a lot of Powerpuff Girls: Chemical X-Traction. So... You've decided to play a good game for once?" spits disc at you

This actually happened to me once when I was a kid playing SimCity (I don’t remember if it was 2000 or 3000); The machine, a new but possessed Windows 98 machine, blue screened and ejected the 52x drive without spinning down the CD. So when the tray came out the disc flew across the room like a Lilliputian UFO.

Imagine if the antagonist in your game messed with the game menu and save files...

Tbh it would be absolutely fantastic if a game pulled this off today.

"Did....did this game just burn itself to a DVD-R before wiping itself from my drive? Where did it even get a DVD-R from??? Wait a sec, my PC didn't even have a DVD drive before today! Why is there a charge to PCRepairGuy on my credit card?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?"

Reminds me of goldsrc / Half Life 1 allowing server hosts to send console commands to eject the disc drives on clients to scare them.

Smh video games these days a too easy. Fast travel, aim assist selectable difficulties. All these things take away from the player. And now gamers can't even rage quit on their own. Damn vibeo game does it from them >:(

I don't need that kind of disrespect from software.

My dream game to develop is real actual "war shooter." You get the classic CoD-like intro of proving your worth in a training range or whatever, a nice little tutorial. Then you get briefed on your mission, and deployed to action. All missions are PvP. You set your loadout, the mission starts, and you get hit. This is where the game begins. Depending on what you get shot with, and where, you get extracted from the mission, and medically discharged. You get sent home, have to live your life with permanent disabilities, find a job, go to your appointments, the whole thing. If you don't die. If you die outright, the game just uninstalls, and permabans you. Anyone playing gets one life, one shot at the game.

Sounds like Kojima missed his opportunity. Maybe he couldn't find the command that do this?

Perhaps the piezo speaker can still be used to mess with people.

Sometimes the game would just quit. But I remember that being more of a thing when floppies were around and playing a game in DOS using a CD was stressing the system. Or that cheap 5 in 1 floppy game package that had some bad code.
