MGS4 made me want to cry, but for completely different reasons.

It's too bad barely anyone played Saturn games -- Dark Savior is a really sad, and it's not even explicit. Basically there are 3 main endings depending on what happens at the beginning of the game.

Long story short, what I'm pretty sure is really happening the whole game regardless of your "ending" (because the game always starts over after each), is that you accidentally killed a kid on this prison island you were delivering a convict to after you got drunk there. So you're encased in carbonite and having endless nightmares -- so each story is your character making all these people and events up in his head (a ninja lover he meets on the island, crazy furries mounting a rebellion against the prison warden, his dead best friend being resurrected).

Every game he starts to back before they reach the prison island, and he finds a blue rose that only grows on the island -- an item that stops him from killing this kid in the game itself. In one of the story paths you can see yourself encased in the carbonite jail even.

It took me years to realize this was probably the whole, true story of his universe. That's pretty much the worst thing ever.
