Saturday morning ass boxart

in retrospect, there is nothing all that scary about this, but as a kid it fucking freaked me out, it just felt obscure and foreign to me, uncanny valley feeling

Underrated game.

Does Lost World prove Genesis blast processing superiority over Nintendo once and for all?

>>10302281
Tendies, what is your response to this invincible display of blast processing? What did the snez even have to compare to this?

That's a kino cover, pleb.

One thing I always wondered about, the Sega JPs got the yellow logo variant while Nintendo got red.

I was very young when I played this maybe 4 or 5. Anyway, by this point I had played plenty of video games and was used to the idea stomping Goombas or using a sword that shoots laser beams.
But this was the first game I ever remember where I had to use "real" violence i.e. punching and kicking against "real" people. It freaked me out and filled me with an incredible amount of anxiety at first. I quickly got over this and it became one of my favorite games.

The third level kind of terrified me as well with it's eerie purple skies and creepy music.

Hey that looks so cool man, got more?
Me and my buddy Vince used to play Altered Beast all the time after school.
Good times.

Do jump scares count? Those enemies in Diablo 1 that can charge at you super fast from off screen still get me from time to time.

When it comes to Genesis games, they did a fantastic job of making them dark and frightening as hell. Pic related.

>>10302719
That’s because Genesis was for Chads and Chad’s kids. Everything was epic and grimdark and badass on Chadesis.

>>10302719
Le Dark Souls of le 16 beats!

>>10302719
Chakan is kinda shit gameplay wise but the visuals and sound design are very unnerving. Kinda like a weird fever dream

Why did she have to exist?

For years i was afraid of the zelda 2 game over screen.

>>10302780
Game over screens in general are just disturbing.

>>10301412
Ghostbusters II, everything about it

>>10301412
Jurassic Park Rampage had scarier dinos I recall.
I remember the swastika room in Doom 1. Scared the shit out of me and my dad playing was "Are you scared? It's a game don't worry".
Silent Hill, I used to watch my uncle play it until my parents got me a PS1 and I played it with very low volume or mute because it stressed me a lot.

That first zombie encounter

>>10303314
How does it compare to this one?

>>10302287
>One thing I always wondered about, the Sega JPs got the yellow logo variant while Nintendo got red.
I remember it being pretty random back in the day. All the Jurassic Park merchandise seemed to pick whichever version looked better in the composition. I'm not even sure if one is more official than the other. The VHS uses red but I think I've seen yellow on movie posters.

If you know, you know.

The first encounter in RE was kind of... cool I guess at the first time. You just knew what's gonna happen when a pale figure is hunching over a corpse.


The first zombie in AITD was especially scary because you just didn't expect it. And you felt more pressed because of the shitty controls.

The classic.

>>10301519
You say that like it’s a bad thing

>>10304937
Definitely the scariest game on the PS1

>>10301412
Prime Target on the Macintosh. That game still scares me.

>>10305923
Just look at this fucking title screen.

>>10305928
God damn, it looks like his veins are trying to escape!

>>10301519
You only think that because of Taz-mania and Land of the Lost.
