I feel that I'm the only one who wasn't scared by that.

The first time hearing "Ahhh fresh meat" from the butcher in Diablo, followed shortly by my warrior getting his head chopped off, was pretty damn bad.

Maniac mansion.

All of it, mainly because of the tension of not knowing what the hell to do.

dungeons in mega man legends
obligatory sandopolis ghosts

>>1392131
You have balls of steel, friend.

Man, that fucker used to own my ass when I was 6.

Then Boba Fett was worse, and the sewer level was fucking nightmare tier.

The Death Crawler from Super Ghouls and Ghosts terrified me for days. I hated the whole "twin towers" level because of him and those fucking cyclope goblins that suddenly fell from the walls of the towers.

>Not the sewer level boss
Motherfucker that shit traumatized me.

Fighting Sigma in the tower at the end of Mega Man X because I knew that was the end of my run. All the time.

I was so scared of this guy as well as the whole Sandopolis Act 2.

I'd actually shut the game off if I thought I was getting close to the miniboss.

The Grant intro from Jurassic Park on the Genesis.

>Maniac mansion

I first played it through DotT and it scared the shit out of me.

I still consider that mansion full of haunting atmosphere.

Spectres used to scare me because I always thought they were stalking me. I thought they would hide in corners, slowly follow me through the level, and then strike when I least expected it.

Then I grew up and realized the AI isn't nearly that sophisticated.

>>1392517
I remember facing him and just standing in place spamming the magic knife dragon attack and winning.

Now the antlions on stage 2 of the Genesis GnG on the other hand...
I still haven't beaten the Genesis one simply because I can't do that part.

Not technically /vr/, but pic related was pure nightmare fuel all the way through.
Especially the god damn catacombs...

Dodongo's Cavern in OoT

i still don't know why...

>Dodongo's Cavern
>not the Shadow Temple

>>1394576
I was convinced there was a room full of headless people in the Water Temple, for some reason.

At first I could beat him only using the vortex spell from the axes, since they always hit and killed him quickly before he could disappear and spit those balls that then came back fast (I was terrified by them too). If I lost the weapon or the armor before reaching him I usually let myself die to do the level again.

After beating a level in Bad Dudes-

> "I'M BAD!"

No idea why but it scared the fuck out of me.

>>1394736
Because you weren't expecting it.

GOM BAAAAA

The first time I ever saw one of Shadow's dreams in ff6 scared the fuck out of me as a kid.

I mean, it was 1994, there wasn't any Internet or anything like that really yet, at least not for me. I'm sitting there in the basement playing ff6, I go to sleep at an inn, a thing you do a thousand times, and suddenly, instead of the jingle and then waking up immediately, the screen goes black. This demonic, creepy growling sound starts coming out of the super nintendo and a long sprite I've never seen before just stands there doing nothing like the girl from the Ring or something.

It freaked me out until dialogue finally started appearing on the screen. When the dream ends and the game goes back to normal I was like, "What the FUCK was that?"

That shit made me hate going underwater in video games.

don't know why, but it scared me

>>1396774
Because it's 2spooky.

>>1392725
NNNNNNN gets you 90% of the way there.

>>1396774
I'm like that with being stared at.

Speaking of which, these fucking guys:

Shadowgate. Scared the shit outta me everytime I died.

That old Infocom King Arthur game scared the shit out of me since I didn't know how IF really worked and I'd die because I didn't know how to get the parser to understand more complicated actions and I'd get murked by guards (which, considering it was an Infocom parser, meant I was a severely retarded child)

>>1392725
Yeah, I just made to this point after emulators...
I know... I know...
Better this way, if I had saw this think as a child I would be terrified for life.

I wouldn't say it scared the shit out of me but that room on level 3 or 4 that was full of these things rattled my nerves.

That fucking clown boss

WL3 was released in 2000, but fuck it

Silly, I know

Dat death scream

>Sligs, slogs, paramites and scrabs are all defeated by climbing up to a level above them
>Get used to the idea that low ground = danger, high ground = safety
>Mfw these fucks

>>1392274
first time i beat slave 1 it was because i accidentally glitched out the AI by standing between it's bottomost guns and just spammed laser

This whole fucking game dude.
>can hear enemies that aren't even there, usually a mother fucking Iron Lich's audio files plays but you never find it
>never learned how to straft or even find a comfortable key mapping that would let me straft
>the above made any projectile seem scary as hell
>Maulotaurs, fucking maulotaurs.
>dem bats laughing at me
Still one of my favorite games of all time.

This guy from Tomb Raider.

It didn't so much scare the living shit out of me as much as just made me feel *really* disgusted, slightly creeped out, and even a bit bad. Like, I don't know, it's a horribly deformed legless mutant who cannot go anywhere without having to drag their skinless body in probably constant and atrocious pain. Killing it took so long and I would just always end up accidentally falling down this gigantic room, leaving enough time for Lara to scream three times before hitting the lava.

I don't know. I just have bad memories of it. In a good way.

Or you could just play with a mouse, right-click and scroll sideways.

In case you were playing on keyboard only, you dun goofd.

I don't think it's necessary to say anything at all

the music that played when someone died in Oregon trail
I dunno about you but that was scary as all fuck to me.

I remember reading in the official player guide that Sluggy is so full of love it just tries to hug Yoshi, not realizing it's pushing Yoshi back to its death.

So you beat it by breaking its heart.

I always felt kinda bad for Sluggy after that.
