Steambot Chronicles; although I think the game hates me. To copy/paste what I've posted elsewhere:
"I managed to find Steambot Chronicles second hand, and just started playing it (although as of late I don't have a whole lot of time for console gaming, but you've got to snatch budget opportunities when you find them). I got to the first boss, a giant elephant mech, and an NPC tells me that I can jump on it. I couldn't find a safe place to jump on, and I had a Cannon equipped, so I just nuked it from a distance.
I kill it, and there's a cutscene with the mech exploding, then suddenly the screen goes sepia-toned, some sad music plays and 'Game Over' appears. Then I'm dumped back at the titlescreen. I got a game over for WINNING the battle.
The (single, poorly written) FAQ on GFAQs doesn't mention a failure condition to the battle, and I don't think I took any damage during the fight itself.
I'm apprehensive to play again, in case the game kicks my ass for trying to open the main menu or something."
