| What game weirds you out the most? |

Yeah, I loved Serious Sam, I may have to start a new game and go through it again. |
| javeryh:
The classics have nothing on some of the stuff out right now. Bioshock and Dead Space were creepy as hell. |
| Loafmeister:
Dead Space and Left 4 Dead are awesome. One Doom level where you were in the dark and all of a sudden a bunch of beasties come at you, I think I swore out loud, wife was wondering what was going on. But the first game to creep me out the most was Rescue on Fractalus. Anyone who's played it will know EXACTLY what I'm referring to. Naturally, it doesn't work as well nowadays because of the tech behind it (it's 24 years old!) but it's not the creature that caused the tension, it's the PAUSE before finding out, is it a pilot, or is it an alien? That pause is still effective today. |

A ton of games had those moments for me... I guess I was a high strung child or something... C64: Forbidden Forest: Just the sound of the bees when they got close sent shivers up my spine. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxx6jvOAaJ4[/youtube] Rescue on Fractalus: Space alien would suddenly appear on the "windshield" with equally jarring sound effects. AHHH! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8opv5u9nf0[/youtube] (why did this even make me jump?) ?????: There was a space game that seemed inspired by Alien (movie). It was side-view and every now and then this green alien would suddenly chase you down the hall and you had to boot out of there while the music really made it feel even more urgent. I wish i could remember the name of it. Xiau2: I had Last V8 too. That video looks like he's using one of those "no sprite collisions" cheats (I don't remember being able to cut through building corners in level 2, do you?) Arcade: Joust: Our corner store had the game volume nice and loud and I tell ya, when the pteradactyl made it's appearance screeching, I jumped and the hair on the back of my neck went up!

It never creeped me out tho. It was more of an annoyance... American McGee's Alice is pretty scary, esp at night. Some stuff will just come out at you totally unexpected. Plus the dark mood of the game didnt help. |
