Ogre Battle? get bad ending anyway.
games like SMB where you have a timer you can play skillfully but still die from the timer
there's a game where that was basically how the story went
4x games with alternative win-conditions
really what would qualify here is any game with alternative lose conditions. that's what the timer is and that's what alternative win conditions are if the AI can reach them too.
This day is gone. We can't relive it. It's gone forever.
