D, Enemy Zero, and D2 are pretty cool and underrated.

Also not retro technically but one pretty interesting game is Nanashi no Game or "Nameless Game". It's about a guy who finds a haunted retro game that kills anyone that plays it in seven days, pretty cool as you experience horror in both the actual game and the retro game the main character found.

Shadow man and House of the Dead

Some might suggest Uninvited for NES but honetstly Shadowgate is spookier and just better overall

>>5042320
This series is good if you can read Japanese

>>5042320
Doom 64 is the scariest retro Doom.

And I think the scariest version of Quake is the Saturn version, there I said it.

One would think Sega marketing the Genesis as the "mature" console there would be more spooky games but aside from Splatterhouse 2&3 mentioned above, maybe Ghouls n Ghosts I guess. I can't think of any aside from this.

I guess we can also include Night Trap if the Sega CD and 32X count

Lol

>Demons Crest
That shit ain't spooky.

If you like spooky adventures, this is the game for you!
Play with lights off and a mug of cocoa for maximum effect.

I PRAY EVERY NIGHT BUT GOD WON'T PROVIDE A TRANSLATION FOR THIS

Seconding Clock Tower: The First Fear (SFC, there is a great translation patch) and Clock Tower (PSX) as supreme when it comes to spooky games. You will not regret checking them out.
I own and have repeatedly played each game in the series, but the first two (mentioned above) are really the only ones I'd recommend.
Clock Tower: Ghost Head (PSX) was a departure from the story and characters of the first two games and was, in my opinion, a CT game in name only. I wanted to like it so badly, but it was a failure with an interesting concept. It's worth playing because it is indeed a horror game with a neat first scenario, but it feels unfinished and it very frustrating/boring as it progresses.

I'd also like to recommend another severely underrated series of games: the Echo Night games.
Echo Night (PSX) is a fascinating and horror-steeped game that is as fun as it is challenging to work through.
Echo Night 2 (PSX, a flawless translation patch is available) was, unfortunately, only released in Japan, but is absolutely worth downloding and patching. It is superior to its predecissor in every way: a more engaging story line, multiple endings, considerably toned up on the horror, and some of the most enchanting graphics I've seen on the Playstation. I cannot recommend this game enough. I was captivated by it when I played through it last summer. Please do yourself a favor and check it out. I played through it before EN1, and I don't regret it but it was certainly the superior experience and EN1 was slightly disappointing as a follow up but still a great game.

The only reproduction cart I own thus far is Clock Tower for SNES. I agree that it's surpringly effective with its atmosphere for a 16-bit game

>>5043058
Sorry, pal. You're gonna have to wait in line like the rest of us.

SNES: Musya - The Classic Japanese Tale of Horror, Castlevania, Demon's Crest.

N64: DOOM 64.

Nameless Game is fucking rad.

I unironically like this game

>>5044040
>no sword master

Faxanadu.
Has a spooky atmosphere, imho.

>>5042320
i couldnt get into sweet home. progressing was too rng due to the enemy damage and no way to really heal.

>>5043528
I've played a couple SMT for the SNES (SFC) and I liked Persona 2, but I've never understood why if... is so hard sought. What about it is so magical that it pains the masses to have it left unfinished?

Another spooky game to add to my "fuck I wish this were translated" list: The Witch of Salzburg.

>>5044275
You could heal, items were just hard to come by.

>>5044040
I agree with most of this list, but some of it's not so bad. Even Nightmare on Elm Street is at least tolerable, though there are unsettling pieces in it.
Most of the Sunsoft games on there too, they're not so rattling.

Xenophobe is less freaky in the arcade, so I'm left to believe it was intended to be comical. Late 80s/early 90s Atari did come off that way.

>>5042320
I thought Legendary Axe II for TG-16 had a pretty spooky atmosphere

I'm glad that summer's over because aggression levels have returned to their usual levels on this board but on the other hand now there aren't enough of us to generate discussion on a fun topic like this.

>What about it is so magical that it pains the masses to have it left unfinished?
We've already played SMT1, 2, and Soul Hackers to death and want more classic SMT.

>>5044438
even using a guide i reached fail states. doesnt make for a fun gaming experience, thanks to rng

>>5045103
What's RNG?

>>5045117
>random number generation
I'm sure he's complaining about randomness outcomes of the game.

>>5045207
>what are save states?
If you're playing in English, you're playing a ROM. Take advantage of it.

>>5044040
Do we have more pictures like this for other consoles?

>>5042320
I cannot possibly recommend Clock Tower (SNES) highly enough. Don't bother with the sequels though.

Elvira 2 for the Amiga. Currently playing this game and it requires lots of patience as well as trial and error. Took me quite a while to get used to the combat, interraction and pretty much everything but the manual really helps. The game iself feels like you’re walking through a haunted house that wont hold back with killing you. Should you play this game you will die many times - don’t get me started on the game over screens. The music is one of, if not the best for the amiga. Oh yeah this game is very hard to beat without a walkthrough but solving problems is very satisfying. I hear ‘Waxworks’ is this game’s spiritual successor but I’ve never tried it.

>>5044465
me too, mostly due to music and later stages

>>5046394
I just skimmed through a play through and holy hell, talk about a trial. It doesn't look like something I could stand after half an hour.
>>5046334
The first sequel is as good as the original, the last two games were ass.

>>5043084

nice suggestion, I will give it a try

>>5046324
I made a sega genesis one last year. Probably gonna make gameboy/gameboy color this year.

>>5047961

>>5047961
I would love to see a gameboy one
