Sierra comes to mind. Not always brutal but pretty savage for point and click adventures.
Quest for Glory I
Battle Chess (1988) had cool death animations if I remember correctly.
LOL,this is my 3DS boot screen.

Hmmm, I remember Manhunter: San Francisco being a lot more... gory when I was a kid.
Maybe it was because I was young back then and even this stuff bothered me.
I thought there was a specific death that really stuck out though, like... something with a melting face? I dunno.
Thanks!That's The Lieutenant.
Only rts game I got behind as a youngin'. I played the myth 2 demo for hours just to gib fools with the grenadier unit.Myth The Fallen Lords and Myth 2 Soulblighter had amazing gore/gibs. Body parts would fly through the air from explosion, hit other units and do tiny bits of damage. Body parts could be picked up by Ghols and thrown, like the Wights puss body parts to stun people and blood flowed downhill.
In the first 10 minutes of Manhunter, if you go to Bellevue Hospital and stick around the body on the table for too long, the baby Orbs eat your face off:

I think I was 10 when I first played it and it scared the shit out of me. Good times
Great idea for a thread!
Here's a classic one from Barbarian:

Scarred me for life
Heart of Darkness provides some E-rated examples. I couldn't find a gif of the bird tearing the kid's flesh, though.
Heart of darkness freaked me the fuck out and I was like 12.
The one with the pit and the head flying up always freaked me out when I heard the scream, particularly when it was Rimururu.Samurai Shodown V. Because finesse is all that matters
Holy shit. These are some of the nastiest things I've ever seen in a video game. Hell, probably beats out 99% of everything I've seen. This is incredible looking, even more amazing knowing how long ago it came out. I always remember hearing about and seeing ads in my gaming magazines about this game, just never had the capabilities to play it. I'm sure it was for the best that I didn't. I was 11.This one screwed me up as a kid... and still does. Phantasmagoria.
Only 1 of 15 or so gruesome deaths in the game.q

Yeah, the character designs were done by Koji Aihara, who had a knack for this kind of art style in his manga.
I know there were some fan translations a few years back, but it was never completed, so pretty much a full game translation is still missing in action.
Here's some more confusing and funny images of my childhood with this game,
And yes, you are battling words, LOL!
Good times...good times...

Was just thinking about Fear Effect the other day actual which led me to that youtube death compilation. I could never get very far into that game.Gotta say those graphics hold up admirably.
Samurai Shodown V. Because finesse is all that matters
Splatterhouse 2 specifically was out of control:
Laura Bow had some great deaths. Perhaps none greater than death by porcupineThe Laura Bow games would occasionally pull out a surprising one, more realistic and/or graphic than the rest of Sierra's output befitting the series.
Fear Effect and it's sequel Retro Helix were such good games. To this day no other game comes close to the atmosphere Fear Effect has, and that's saying something. The visuals still hold up today because of the incredible art style.
