What is "game over"

phr. 1 (context video games English) A message that appears on the screen of a computer game or video game when all of the player's life have been lost or the time runs out and the game must be started again from a checkpoint or save point, or when the game has been successfully completed. 2 (context by extension English) The end of some ongoing situation due to either failure or success.

Game Over is an American computer-animated television series created by David Sacks (who would later become president of Nickelodeon Animation Studio), produced by Carsey-Werner Productions, and broadcast on UPN in 2004. It was canceled due to low ratings.

Game Over (the title was inspired by the phrase " game over" that commonly concludes video games whether the player loses or finishes the game, depending on which video game he or she plays) focused on what happens to video game characters after the game ends. The show recounted the lives of the Smashenburns, a far-from-ordinary suburban family that lives in an alternate video game universe.

The show made numerous references to video games and even featured certain game characters as cameos. For example, Crash Bandicoot appears on a Got Milk? billboard whilst creatures from Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee appear in one of the episodes.

Marisa Tomei voiced the character of Raquel Smashenburn in the show's unaired pilot episode, but scheduling problems saw Lucy Liu take over the role for the actual series.

Game Over was heavily hyped by UPN before its debut. Some were skeptical of Game Over due to UPN's track record with their cartoons, but the show generally received positive press upon its airing. Despite this, only six episodes were made, which aired on a variety of different days – the fourth and fifth episodes were broadcast on April 2, 2004, and the sixth episode ("Monkey Dearest") was not aired.

"Game over" is a message in video games which signals that people failed a game, commonly due to a negative outcome such as losing all of one's lives - although the phrase sometimes follows its score after successful completion of a game. The phrase has since seen wider use to describe the end of an event in real life.

Game Over is an action video game developed by Dinamic Software and published by Imagine Software in 1987. It was available for the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MSX, Thomson TO7 and ZX Spectrum. The game was generally received positively. The game's promotional artwork caused a controversy due to the portrayal of a female nipple, which was subsequently covered-up. A sequel ( Game Over II) was released in 1987.
