ITT: Stuff from games that scared the shit out of you as a kid. Bonus if non-horror games.

This game was really fucking freaky for 10 year old me.

A little after Half Life came out, and I was a kid, I had a demo install of it (remember those?)
I liked playing around with it, listening to what the guard dude and the scientist were saying (without really understanding anything, I didn't into english yet back then), gazing at the ZOMG 3D GRAFIX and stuff...
But I did never NEVER venture into the gaming experience itself, as in going through that corridor that lead to the rest of the level where the enemies started appearing, because I was pants-shittingly scared of the headcrabs, and just the thought of facing one of them terrified me to my soul.
I spent some time with that psychological blocking of mine, and I remember it spilled into other games too, like Gunman Chronicles, I always thought there would be some terrible monster ahead and it would kill me.

Weird thing is, now I recall I used to play Doom II normally a couple of years before.

It was never praised, and was considered fucking awful for a long time. It was just fairly ubiquitous because it came with many Megadrives on a 3 in 1 cart I think

star wars shadows of the empire definitely was creepy as fuck for some reason

i always thought so anyway, then one day my 6 y/o cousin came around and wanted me to stop playing it because it was too scary LOL

there was definitely some weird aura to that game...

It took me years to finish that sewer level. The amount of scary shit in that level was astounding. I remember shutting down the game the first time I got to the boss. Holy fuck that thing was horrifying back then

Shadows of the Empire really captured what I used to love about Star Wars. The universe, despite being all sci fi and what not, was incredibly hostile and scary. All the tech, while advanced, was rugged and dirty looking. Being stalked in a huge disgusting junkyard by IG-88 (who looked like he himself was scrapped together by misc. parts) was an absolute nightmare. Then episodes 1 2 and 3 rolled around and we realized Lucas created this atmosphere by complete accident.

Hurry up about it. Disney is putting all of them out of print. They may or may not be shutting down the entire book division for things that aren't focused on movie era characters.

They buy Marvel and Star Wars, but they don't rerelease Marvel Star Wars? What kind of Jews are running Disney?

More like because it was the original pack-in game for the Genesis/Mega Drive, only to be replaced by Sonic.

It was a pretty good example of a pack-in game though, it showed the power of the Genesis/Mega Drive, and showed just how much better it was than the NES, bringing a port of an arcade game that at the very least, looked just like the arcade version.
