It's a part from Zelda: Link's Awakening

Link originally is in a dream world after being knocked out by a storm. And in this Dream world, he is sleeping in a bed, being transported to another Dream world where he is conscious.

He is essentially having a dream within a dream.

It's so weird, You need to think about it twice before you get the full effect.

mfw I was old enough to remember when this wasn't known.

>tfw you found out that Samus was a girl

That made me wtf

>>747746
>dream within a dream

NES Three Stooges game.

Every time it'd land on the cracker-eating minigame, I'd turn it off.

Obligatory.

It doesn't matter if it was the original music or director's cut music either, it was still creepy as shit.

>>747906
I had a feeling someone might post that..

was creepy as fuck

scary: Silent Hill, the cat in the locker.

weird/wrong: Operation C, the final final boss. After the robot boss, there is another corridor and you're led to believe the the final boss is waiting. And all you get is some tumor in a jar that doesn't even fight back while you pump it full of bullets

This whole fight.

Why hasn't anyone brought up negative man from Mother 3 yet?

>>751358
Because that's a GBA game.

Most of the bosses in Monster Party

>SORRY, I'M DEAD.
>the fried shrimp
>the punk guitarist
>WELCOME! ENTRANCE TO HELL!
>several bosses calling you BABY

>>747761

>What? Metroid's a girl?!

>>747904
>cracker eating

I never fucking got that one. The fuck was even going on?
>BLRUEURHREH
CURLY PLS STOP

At least dshban had a hilarious go at it.

>>747761
Dem sneakers.

I know this game was basically a loose retell of Indiana Jones, but there were a lot of times this got creepy as fuck. You had no real 'run' button in this game, but you did go faster when going down slopes.

If you played this game, you know the feels.

>that moving wall
>the egyptian trap, the sentient fire slowly getting closer
>the leap of faith segment

To elaborate on the third part, this was a pseudo-difficult jumping puzzle, where platforms would come out of thin air but only after you jumped from the last platform...but only if you were close. So you had to make sometimes pixel-perfect jumps to see where a platform materialises, then land back on the one you were on, and repeat.

The Viking Ship level was pretty fucking haunting too, the armor ghost boss moved in such a weird way, and when you 'hurt' it, it falls apart and it's head rapidly flops onto the ground and bounces forward. Thing is about this game, EVERY boss flashes when injured.

Except this one. So you have no idea why this thing never dies as it takes almost more hits than the final boss, if not more.

>>747737
More lulz than WTF but still didn't expect this.

Everything about this game, merit to the bosses.
I'd describe them here but a video seems more appropriate. I dunno what Psygnosis were on but holy fuck this game was so good. What other game has the entire top half of what I now associate with Carrottop trying to impale you on teeth that you destroy...then gouge his eyes out and burst his nose apart? The first boss alone gets his eyes so battered by your cutesy magic they go completely black and with staggering red veins and pupils.

The worst for me was The Savage Pumpkin, Creepy Clock and Gatekeeper.

>>749609
>Silent Hill
Full of those. Remains to this day one of the scariest games ever made. That uncontrollable sobbing in one of the school's bathrooms you can't find the source of always manages to get to me

>>747904

totally forgot about this game. You just gave me a brain tumor.

>>752472
Oh man this shit

>You can put the hamster in the microwave
>You can show the remains of said hamster to it's Big Ed
>if you do this it cuts to your tombstone outside the house

Kinda funny, kinda fucked up.

>>749631
Oh god that fight. He knows...

This entire game made me go all brainfuck, and I was like 9 or 10 when I first played it.

Especially the 2nd disc(obviously before I read about it the development)

>Tales of Eternia (Tales of Destiny 2)

>last boss Shizelle suddenly comes back to life
>helps stop Grand Fall
>suddenly... EVISCERATION! FLYING INTESTINES!

Inception would blow your fucking balls off if you saw it.

>that dialogue

WELCOME TO THE MACHINE

I always accepted weird stuff way too easily as a kid, so I never thought of anything as especially weird.

Replaying Stupid Invaders when I was older though, holy shit. My brother talked about one of the aliens being raped by a dude in a bunny suit, and I didn't believe him so I went to replay it to prove him wrong.
Turns out I had just blocked out the whole thing. The green one is caught and raped off-screen, then you have to escape from his loveshack without being noticed or else he drags you back to bed.

The thing that creeped me out the most in this game was the killer orcas in the North Pole stage.

>moves to jump to another platform
>suddenly, out of nowhere
>ONONOMOMOMOMOMOM

>No mention of this
>Or any of this game

>>752323
no you idiot, metroid is an alien. samus is a girl.

this haha I laughed soo hard

>>752923

What the fuck?

>>753176
Anything from Monster Party goes without saying.

>>752385
>You had no real 'run' button in this game,

yes you do

>>753604
Clearly censored, but not very thoroughly, and no uncensored version exists. Monster Party fills my brain with fuck.

>>752472
I don't get it

>>752706
This.

>>747746
Yeah but you don't know you've been dreaming until the end. So this dream here seems normal.

>>751436
And my favorite:

>Watch us dance.

>>752565

Xenogears

>Convoluted: The Game

>>747761
really, it's not that it wasn't known, it's that they fucking said samus was a guy in the damn manual, so they fucking lied.

Also, when I was growing up my brother beat metroid first, and turned it off immediately after beating mother brain, didn't realize about the after part lol

>>752338
what's goin on in it?

Howabout you watch some 3 stooges shorts, then you'd get the game

be 10 get ecco the dolphin, don't read the instruction play levels, wow this is good, beautiful marine life, you cna just swim and play and meet other animals, have to puzzle a bit. get stuck in atlantis, try code to get to last level.

holy shit what is that ..thing.. going trough walls right at the cute dolphin. Weirded me out completely. did not see aliens and vortexes coming. also it helped that i did not understand english at that time

Goddamn it, Nomura.

>>755119
this

>>753730

it's a visual metaphor

the sky is literally falling

Not weird, but surprised me a lot nonetheless: When I was a kid I had Gargoyle's Quest for the gameboy, but not Ghosts and Goblins.
Cue playing Ghosts and Goblins later on, and finding the main character of a completely unrelated game as a mid-boss.

>>752385
>no run button

What? I have distinct memories that 'A' made you run.

no rendering ranger?

>>751436
Not only the bosses, the game itself is just fucked up.

>>751358
>wheredoyouthinkweare.jpg

>>752341
I don't remember that part in the game, when was that?

>>755121
>Me and siblings watching older brother unlock this ending
>He talks to Nomura
>"3...2...1...Restart!"
>We all shout in unison "NOOOOOOO!"
>"Just kidding!"
>So, good times.

>>752369
uber 90's cool, yo.

>>753654

It exists, but the jackass who owns it won't dump the rom. You can find a few videos on youtube of it.

>>752478
that whole fucking game is unnerving, but its still my favorite Zelda.

>>752479
That's pretty fucked up
