other human beings

 

[Jazzem]

Tetriminos.

What do you think happens to them when lines are made? =/ (And they can cause Game Over, so they count as enemies!)

 

[EvilMario]

Geodudes, and Zubats.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Blobs. I can't even keep track of the number of games that use blobs as a basic enemy.

and civilians

the guys standing next to the explosive barrels

Nice. Lol at taking cover next to exploding barrels

Even worse falling into exploding barrels while on fire after being kick out a window by

:lol :lol :lol

 

[mepaco]

Maybe not universal, but I've probably killed more of these little suckers than anything else.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

:lol correct

Let's look at this objectively...

Which video games feature you destroying an entire planet of an evil alien race?

I mean, planetary genocide is a much larger multiplier than anything else being brought up, and if it happens in a suitably popular game...

(Oh, just a sidenote here: the plural of Nazi is Nazis, not " Nazi's ". Sigh.)

 

[theultimo]

Gems or Earth, not sure

Heck, even Space invaders had you shooting earth.

I'm pretty sure a couple planets worth of Nazis have been killed by now. So they're still in the running for first place.

 

[VaLiancY]

I don't if its Pac-Man Ghouls, Tetris Blocks, Nazis or Goombas. This is a perplexing question.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Humans.

 

[Andokuky]

Nazi's and GTA civilians FTW.

 

[koam]

Nazi's and GTA civilians FTW.

pretty much

 

[AdventureRacing]

These guys haven't been around as long but they sure do take a beating.

.

Other than that i would say zerg or zombies. My copy of dead rising alone has probably added 100,000+ zombie deaths (although i think technically their not alive).

Nazi's don't even come close to the amount I've killed of those three things. There's no comparison really.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

 

[User2k]

Going with the Counter-Strike guys on this one. Theres no way anything has been killed more than the characters in CS.

 

[Shouta]

The ONLY answer.

 

[D.Cowboys]

Aliens not from the "home" planet.

 

[MisterHero]

Dynasty warrior pawns and its not even close!!:lol :lol :lol


edit: failed to read past OP. Beaten in second post.

Gauntlet was out waaaaaaay before this.

 

[AAK]

Spaniards:

Played Mercenaries way too much.

 

[egocrata]

Orcs and Goblins, in their endless naming variations.

 

[AlexMogil]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_War_II_video_games

It has to be Nazis. That's just a list of WWII video games and I realize some are in the Pacific, but the list isn't even complete!

 

[NameGenerated]

:lol

Poor Gamon.

correct.

 

[$1148 Jack]

Rats in RPG basements.

 

[_dd_]

I'm personally responsible for at least 1,000 of his deaths.

 

[Tyrannical]

Exploding Barrels

(if that counts)

 

[ComputerNerd]

Halo 3's current # for covenant kills:
5,831,568,267

It will be hard to top that.

Counter-strike destroys that number. As does every enemy in WoW.

 

[Cowie]

I'm in a dark, shitty cave surrounded by 18 other people, excluding my own troupe of 6,staring into blackness, waiting for crabs to materialize out of nowhere. A crab appears, and the silence is interrupted by the sound of an arrow missing it's target. Regardless of the ineptitude of our thief, the crab is still pissed off at our efforts, and runs towards us. I yell at it to distract it, and watch in pain as I realize NONE OF THE PEOPLE I'VE COME HERE WITH HAVE THE ABILITY TO HIT A GOD DAMN CRUSTACEAN. Suddenly, the white mage healing me drops to one knee. He's out of MP. The crab is still pinching me. As my life withers slowly away, I wake up screaming in a cold, sour sweat.

I used to have this dream nightly. Thanks for bringing it back.

 

[ComputerNerd]

Hell, there was an old game called Shadow President. You could start the game, and kill 6 billion people in a nuclear war within 5 minutes.

 

[firex]

Zombies are easily #1.

Bear in mind the walking dead aren't just all over games like RE, but they're also in D&D and virtually every computer/console RPG of every type. There are more zombies in videogames than Nazis, because while there are a ton of WW2 games, they're almost all action/FPS with a handful of strategy games being set in WW2.

But zombies are in just about every genre and have been for just as long if not longer than WW2 videogames.

 

[Osuwari]

unlike most folks, i understood from the topic title that it meant a single enemy that has been killed a lot and the first thing that came to mind was:

 

[bgassassin]

Halo 3's current # for covenant kills:
5,831,568,267

It will be hard to top that.

The interesting thing about that is if you take the 40 million the first Super Mario Bros. and round that other number 6 billion, each person who bought the game would only need to kill 150 goombas or turtles. I know I easily held up my end for both with SMB1.

To me it has to be turtles first, zombies second and goombas third.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Oh the number of times I popped Recklessness on him.

 

[Kruhex]

Well, in terms of most seen enemy, I'm gonna have to go with the "Evil Helicopter". Honestly, what is a game without the introduction of a helicopter which randomly appears and fires at you?

But bu bu, 6 billion...with a 'B'...

 

[Throwaway123456789]

Haha, is that Mario All-Stars multiplayer? Used to love that shit.

...what?


WHAT?

 

[methane47]

Probably rats

After the many informative and educated posts I'm gonna have to say I agree with ya. Undead are in everything. All the Warcraft games, Diabols, Resident Evils, House of the Dead ect ect. There are a lot of undead things out there.

 

[t0va]

Probably rats

:lol :lol :lol :lol

The ONLY answer.

Now that's a great answer.

 

[Brianemone]

They were there long before Goombas. :lol

I think the sheernumber of Goombai killed might compensate for their slightly lesser period of existence.

I am personally responsible for the death of thousands of Goomba kind and I have started to train my son in the ways of Goomba combat.

 

[btkadams]

Goombas
Nazis
Aliens
Tetris blocks
Dr. Robotnik

EDIT: damn i got beaten with the tetris blocks.

 

[ratcliffja]

Gamon, like opossums on the side of the road, seems to be born dead.
