1: Gall Spaceport (I even know a minor secret there that very few know)
2: Mos Eisley
3: Hoth
4: Escape from Echo Base
5: Asteroid Chase
6: Xizor's Palace ( awesome level design; those huge 3D gears blew my mind in 1997,when I got mine)
7: Skyhook (I've never submitted my world record time for that level because life)
8: Suprosa- It's ok. Cool beginning and puzzles.
9: Junkyard I appreciate this level for all that it is, but it's one helluva demand on your time if you need to git gud. IG-88 is harder than Boba Fett on Jedi mode by far.
10: Sewers. That level is maybe the first video game to scare me and the murky "water" affect and not knowing what's underneath really activate my primal fears, so it's a rarity that I play it, which ironically preserves its effectiveness. The thing of nightmares already and it's complicated to find every challenge point to boot.

>SotE is way worse because of sewers, dianogas, those yetis AND IG-88
The cliff wampas never bothered me much except for the hidden ones, but yeah the sewer level is pure nightmare fuel. Pic related on a CRT with the brightness turned down a bit is seriously frightening, coupled with the floaty jetpack mechanics, it's a truly unsettling experience. Pretty fucking cool.

>Minigun tears the bug up especially hard for some reason. Does way more damage than you'd expect.
I didn't know it did more damage, but I knew it seemed to hit it more than the other guns.

>It had some really hard levels for sure, but that atmosphere

Hard, but fair. The sewer level is still the stuff of nightmares. I need to take my own screenshots somehow of the actual game because it's not the same without a CRT, but you get the idea.

Shadows of the Empire

2D games were honestly never immersive enough to really scare me, but with the 5th gen I got to play some truly frightening games. SotE was the first to really get to me. The Wampas, the tense fight with IG-88, exploring the sewers, the game is full of terrifying moments. The game also controls kind of clumsily so it has a sort of survival horror feel, especially on the harder difficulties.

That fucking NOPE stellar system with that NOPE planet at that NOPE stage with this FUKNOPE boss.
