Backgames: Videogame plots in reverse

This isn't a pic or a video, nor is it news, but here we go:

It's all about speculation on what video games would be able if their plots played out in reverse. I have to admit that I am highly amused. Here are some of my favorites:

Donkey Kong:
Pauline takes her boyfriend to the top of a building. There, she dumps him for a giant ape, and the heartbroken plumber climbs down the scaffolding.

Pacman:
Pacman fills mazes with dots, pausing only to regurgitate fruit & ghosts.

Portal:
A woman with prosthetics breaks into a secret laboratory and builds an insane computer.
Closing portals and building sentry robots behind her, our hero fortifies herself into a deep, maze-like sanctuary.
Finally she falls asleep and dreams of cake.

SimCity: After recovering from a series of natural disasters, a thriving metropolis is systematically reduced to a barren landscape by epic mismanagement.
