What game weirds you out the most?

Are we talking Modern Games or Retro Games?

If modern then the new game called "Left 4 Dead".  It's a zombie game like doom.  It made me jump out of my seat a few times when a zombie screeched from the side and attached.  They are wicked fast in that game, unlike typical zombies.  Great game.

If retro then "Venture" is the game that gave me the creeps.  I'm talking about the Colecovision version.  If you took too long in a room a green baddie would appear at the door (blocking it) and then would come after you.  I remember my hairs standing up when I heard the sound it made and see it while trying to quickly escape.

This bit from history.dat is interesting.

"Berzerk shares a rather chilling distinction of being the first known game to be blamed for an actual player's death. In January 1981, Jeff Dailey was the first person to die playing a video game, a 19-year old Berzerk player, died of a massive heart attack right after playing his favorite game. His score was 16,660 (a very respectable score but disturbing for obvious reasons). On an equally distressing note, in October 1982 at the 'Friar Tuck Game Room' in Calumet City, Illinois : 18-year old Peter Burkowski, a physically healthy person who was alcohol-free and drug-free, inscribed his initials in Berzerk's top ten list twice in a matter of only fifteen minutes. A few seconds after that, he collapsed and died of a heart attack."

So stupid to blame a game for that. Nobody blames "walking on the beach" or "sleeping" for causing death although statistically more people die during or after doing that then during of after playing a videogame.

As for creepiest game, I don't remember the name anymore. It was an FPS where you could install sentry drones and you would be cahsed by lizards and other monsters. At one point you're in an elevator, minding your own business when a lizard jumps on you from ON TOP of the elevator! Still remember I screamed like a girl  ;D

Heh, I thought I was the only one petrified by the Hall Monsters.  And yes, the Colecovision version felt like a true nightmare because you're trying to run but the stubby little stick wasn't helping you.

I also was freaked out by those big blobby things that fell from the ceiling towards the end of Adventures of Link (Zelda II).  I honestly can't figure out why (I was young and easily startled I suppose) but it came out of nowhere and was weird looking.

Vagina Hero looks creepy. I just saw it at geekologie.com
