Anywho I remember clicking on it and it made a loud whining noise. It freaked me out since I was only 5 or 6.. but damn I remember having nightmares of that face and the loud noise.. You may now laugh

Some older kid was playing it at the local Chuck E. Cheese's. When I looked at the screen I saw -- A CARTOON! AND HE WAS PLAYING IT! What scared the hell out of me, though, and had me not able to sleep for a week, was when Dirk the Daring died... he literally rotted and turned into a skeleton before your very eyes, and then the bones fell apart! OMG that was sooooooo scary! that was a revolutionary game in its time... released back in 1983 in arcades EVERYWHERE, dragon's lair was the FIRST game ever to be put and used on a laserdisc. essentially, the first ROM game was born. since laserdisc acts more or less like a hybrid of a cd and dvd, its both vastly huge as far as memory (for back then) and completely interactive, like a dvd menu. you could literally PUT a movie/cartoon on a laserdisc and with some technical knowhow and programming later, you would have a full blown interactive movie-game. the bad part: it was ALOT of programming and manipulation of the movie/cartoon and on top of that, laserdisc was EXPENSIVE to produce and sell. the time, effort and money invlolved in making a game like this was not worth it, so, in the end, dragons lair marks the rise, zenith and fall of laserdisc games. but i tell you what, it was some pretty cool shit to watch (if u werent 4-6 and getting traumatized by freaky rotting corpses)

Maybe it was just because I was using a lot of, ahem, "chemicals" at that time when I was in college, but it would always creep me out in the later stages of the game. The Frankenstein Garden Maze level really made me jump quite a few times.

The most CREEPIEST music i'd ever heard played... The music kept playing itself OVER and OVER in my head... For like 6 hours straight!... I couldn't fall asleep that first night.. LOL i've never gone near that frigging game since... And i still don't know why the hell it scared me so much.

The original Resident evil.
The atmosphere of that game just was freaky

For me, the Mortal kombat games in the arcade (especially number 3 but also 2) really shocked me whenever I saw a fatality or a pit fatality. The screams, the blood and all; it really shocked me. Doom scared the SHIT out of me

System 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 74809	Final Fantasy X: I was almost in tears when I completed the game. I had sat there and played it almost non-stop and when the end came and the story unveils its last twists and the characters say their goodbyes, I was so near to crying. the only thing that stopped me was telling myself "it is oly a game."

The thing that shocked me most was that at some point you'd have spikes in front of you car and people would be pierced by them.. Really was a sick game.. That pretty much sounds like Quarantine to me: It was also released for the 3D0 and the SEGA Saturn in Japan (as "Death Throttle"). As far as PC-Games are concerned, there is one game that really freaked me out: SYSTEM SHOCK. Shodan's voice was just soo frightening. "With cameras as my eyes and nodes as my hands I rule here, insect." These lines still send shivers down my spine. ceno

Steven M 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 220	There was a game in an arcade once... It was one of those games where FMV is extensively used. You know, the cutscenes, the Game Over things... hell, even the levels were realistic. Like from a film. Anyway. This particular game was a Western. And involved shooting people. I really don't know the name of the game anymore. All I remember is that when I saw someone playing it (with the accompanying toy gun), some dude always died somehow, and then it would fade to black. And an undertaker would appear. ... Other than that, the only other games that come to mind are FFVII (AERIS DIES) and "I'm O.K", although that's about as retro as an XBox, really.

System 8 years 9 months ago Posts: 74809	Golden Eye 007 for N64 always scared me. I could never play it by myself. Everytime I'd try I'd get too scared when people would start shooting at me that I'd have to quit and turn it off. Haha. I could only play it when we played 4-player against each other.

System 8 years 9 months ago Posts: 74809	I can't say it traumatized me, but Doom was really the freakiest game I ever played. I got it back in like 96 or so. I was so freaked out when I first got to the final stage of the second episode. It just had a really cool atmosphere to it, though. Very dark and frightening, but in a fun way. Doom 3 has nothing on the original.

System 8 years 9 months ago Posts: 74809	The death scene in Cliff Hanger with the gallows. Apparently a LOT of people were traumatized by this because later revisions of the game included a switch to turn off the gallows scene entirely.

System 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 74809	this wasnt a game, just a certain game character.. in Mario 2, when you steal the key from wherever its stored, this big angry demon face comes chasing after you, trying to get it from you.. holy shit, I had a lot of nightmares about that as a kid

There's times where I've even felt fad about strangleing my opponents It's still so much fun otherwise. the one for me in metal gear solid was when they were talking about the patriots and ithad the cute blonde guy raiden i think it was....that changed my view on life forever . Also the new resident evil game...i think its 4, and they have those huge ass black charred things that breathe freaky, and they have weirdo teeth, and like mmmmooooooovvveeee reeeaallly slow, and you had to shoot certain parts of their body to kill them...man those things were fucked up, they scared the shit outta me. I strained my ears so hard to hear thier breathing, i coulda heard em' a mile away. And the shadow temple in Zelda OoT scared the shit outta me....those giant hands that came from the ceiling and grabbed you and went back up...the second i saw those shadows over me, i nearly wet myself.
