'course the worst ending to a game relative to the amount of time spent actually trying to complete the game might be H.E.R.O on the Atari 2600.

I had this as a kid, and spent hours playing it, 'til one day I finally completed it. I think this may be a rare feat as I can't find a vid on't 'tube celebrating the momentous moment.

Clicky

It was a fun enough game n'that, but took me around 5 hours to get the ending, which happened when your score got too big for the field to contain it. It was (IIRC) a million points, at which point the score turned into exclamation marks and your guy turned and faced the screen (the same as the death animation!). It didn't matter if you were half way through the level, as soon as the score rolled over, that was it, 7 exclamation points and a feeling of having wasted a huge chunk of my life.

(fail)

The same as the infamous Donkey Kong Kill Screen then.

Thinking about this a bit more, the FFVII was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. In terms of decent endings, there's a couple that stand out, the most recent of which is Crackdown.
Speaking of which, the sequel is now due July 9th - a lot earlier than I'd expected.

Yep, along those lines, but it looks like it was programmed to stop at that point rather than just produce a garbled screen output, like that PacMan 256th level thing.

The ending of Drakan has to be down there too. Weeks, maybe decades of really rather good dragonemup, only to end with shit fmv of a character for whom you had no empathy suffering a somewhat vague fate. Crap pasty.

And there's the woefully terrible Street Fighter series of games endings.
Mostly nonsensical from a barrage of characters with hardly any defined back story, or if there was it was badly translated from the original japanese. A shame really 'cos they're possibly my favourite fighting games of all time, though I've heard tell Street Figther 4's are much better in an animated anime sort of a way, just not had a chance to play it yet.
