I have a todo list of games that’s longer than the list of games in the generator. Tons of fighting games have ending screens, like the King of Fighters series, or Street Fighter 2.” Chrono Chross is next on the list, as well as documentation for others to contribute their own generators, to speed up the process.

Codec Screen

On March 8th, 2018, Codec Screen from 1998 video game Metal Gear Solid was added to Death Generator.^[6] In the following year, multiple notable parodies based on the Codec Screen were posted on various platforms, including Reddit, Twitter and Instagram.
