[Mr. WutJPG No.507324]

What was the first game that you played to Genuinely freak you out.

I'll start with a Cliché: Lavender Town, i remember hearing all this stuff about Gary's Raticate and Cubone and every time i walked through that zone, There were constant chills running down my back.

Played this when I was 13 or 14, after completing Silent Hill 3 for the first time. Figured it would be a walk in the park.
It wasn't

[Anonymous No.507337]

>>507332
God I want to play that so fucking bad.

For me, when I saw the licker crawling over the window in RE2, I NOPE'D in the other direction.

[ParkerPeters !K/SBi83mqI No.507342]

>>507332
Just realized this is not retro at all. So lets talk about a slightly spooky /vr/ moment- Resident Evil 1. The hall with Cerberus jumping through the window. I literally screamed out loud. I was probably around 10 or 11 when I played it the first time, way too young for that shit. It really scared me, but no lasting effects like Fatal Frame. Oh, and the first Zombie encounter is traumatizing. But nothing that "freaked me out"

[Anonymous No.507350]

>>507342
It's either the first zombie or the cerberus that gets you. Both of them are probably the most iconic scenes in the series.

[Anonymous No.507392]

The dog and the zombie are jumpy moments yeah... what about the damn ravens?

[Anonymous No.507416]

Ocarina of Time. I was 8 when it came out and renting it. There was another file on the cart but I was content with messing around on my file.

Well, after getting the second Spiritual Stone, I decided to check out the other file, because it was a -lot- farther than I was.

>Holy shit, you grow up? And there's a secret room in the Temple of Time?
>Go outside OH MAN WHAT HAPPENED
>See what I thought was a villager, decide to go talk to them to see what happened.

Then the Redead screamed at me and I leaped across the room and slapped at the power button on the N64. It took me weeks to rent it again, and I never wanted to get older in OoT because I didn't want the town people to turn into Zombies.

Well played Capcom.
Well fucking played.

Super Metroid.

Kraid, wrecked ship. But mostly the elevator music because of the Torizo fight. I never trusted the statues again.

[Anonymous No.507450]

>>507416
>That royal family tomb full of ReDeads and acid pools
It takes like 60 seconds to get in, get the sun's song, and get out, and it was clear to me something was back there, but I could never bring myself to approach the redead room

[Anonymous No.507448]

Pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Scariest final boss ever, man.

[Anonymous No.507456]

Something about this game.
It never scared me but, I felt uneasy in the dark environments.

[Anonymous No.507462]

Altered beast on the Master System always scared me when I was little.

I think it was because of the protagonist's poorly digitized screams. Creepier than any enemy, man.

[Anonymous No.507471]

>>507423
They bust through it a bit later when you least expect it.

[Anonymous No.507472]

>>507462
You know, what's the deal with that?
Low quality screams, lack/jumpy animation, etc, it always seems to creep me out more than things that really go in depth to try and scare you.
Like these fuckers, holy hell I hated them.

[Anonymous No.507478]

I shat myself when I saw those hologram enemies in Marathon, even more so when I shot them and they make that hideous noise and turn epileptic.

>>507462
I remember having a nightmare from the Mega Drive version.

[ParkerPeters !K/SBi83mqI No.507490]

>>507429
Yeah. That fight was fucking spooky for whatever reason.

[Anonymous No.507487]

>>507472
Yeah man, it was a combination of everything, but mostly your own death scream.

I wouldn't even touch that cart, fearing it would give me nightmares.

[Anonymous No.507507]

>>507416
>Then the Redead screamed at me and I leaped across the room and slapped at the power button on the N64.
Nobody actually does this, right?

[Anonymous No.507532]

>>507450
Yeah, that place always scared the shit outta me.

I remember not even being able to go back in there after dying, because it gave me chills.

[Anonymous No.507549]

>>507507
Not that guy, but I can remember one instance of doing so around age 5. For some reason, in the first water level in Donkey Kong Country, the sound a croctopus makes scared the living shit out of me

[Anonymous No.507598]

I used to be scared to death of those robots in the T2 arcade machine when I was a kid. Those eyes, man.

My older cousin always made fun of me, because he played it fine, but I was too afraid to do it.

[Anonymous No.507628]

>>507598
Holy shit, are you me?
My cousin had it on Megadrive and I'd just plain hide under the bed trying to get past the first level.

[Anonymous No.507635]

+1 but on computer

[Anonymous No.507631]

When I was a little kid, this genuinely scared me, I couldn't believe they'd even allow it on the SNES. Plus that red cartridge.

Played the hell out of it, but scared me half to death.

[Anonymous No.507660]

That bloody locker in the school level of teh first Silent Hill. Fucking thing was covered in blood, and something was banging on the door from the inside.

>well shit, let's open this fucker
>you could feel the fear in the air
>open it
>there isn't anything inside it

And then it turned to the fucked up dimension, and I stupidly went after that same locker

>oh, it's silent
>there probably is some item inside of it now
>FUCKING CAT JUMPS OUT OF IT
>FUCKFUCKFUCK OH GOD NO
>I'LL SHOOT YOUR ASS YOU PIECE OF SHIT CAT FUCK YOU

Also, those fucking kids' ghosts. You knew they were in the room eve if you couldn't see them, and they wouldn't even hurt you. But damn, they were creepy, walking around the classrooms.

[Anonymous No.507663]

>>507631
That red cart is glorious.

[Anonymous No.507668]

I still think The Uninvited is the scariest game ever made.

[Anonymous No.507676]

>>507668
Why are 8-bit games so much creepier?

Sweet Home also had some scary as fuck encounters.

[Anonymous No.507679]

Alone in the Dark, the moment at the attic where that duck mosnter thing breaks trough the window and the music suddenly changes, it freaked me out. Also the death cutscene, where the zombie drags your corpse to the crypt while one of Chopin's Nocturnes plays in the background. Truly creepy.

[Anonymous No.507684]

I had never really gotten scared by games before so when a friend of my sister lent me this and said to try it out because it was scary, I gave it a shot. I'm sure I'm not the only person who laughed at the intro movie, the voice acting, and nearly shit themselves when they walked around the corner to see this guy.

I was like 9 at the time, I just zipped over to the Playstation and turned that fucker off.

[Anonymous No.507692]

>littlish kid playing Mario 64
>go down the first doors you're allowed to open once you beat bowser for the first time
>look down the hallway
>instead of being empty, THERE'S A MOTHERFUCKING BOO THERE
>turn system off out of fear
I don't know why I was so scared of it but I was!

[Anonymous No.507695]

>>507663
It was. I never got why Williams was allowed to publish their cartridge red and the Killer Instincts people were allowed black.

[Anonymous No.507709]

>>507695
Well, Famicom carts came in several colors.

No idea why they stopped doing that when the 16-bit generation arrived.

[Anonymous No.507727]

>>507660

Silent Hill 1 was babby's first freakout for me.

>opening movie looks shitty
>intro music sounds horrible
>I'm an idiot behind the steering wheel
>looking for daughter
>alley
>lights out, raid siren, blood, freakout

That game scared the crap out of me and then I got to the hospital. The first nurse I saw made me pause the game and run to the console to turn it off. I didn't try again for weeks and even considered giving the game away. When I finally started replaying it though, I would only play in the day time and with my curtains wide open on a sunny day.

The new games have sexy nurses but the original ones made my blood go cold.

[Anonymous No.507735]

>>507709
Yeah, I just thought SNES cartridges were always gray because Nintendo would only license uniform products.

[Anonymous No.507741]

>>507735
That's why collecting for the original Famicom is so much more fun. They'd even come in larger sizes, with special chips.

SNES carts were just way too plain, man.

[Anonymous No.507761]

>>507416
Those N64 Zelda games were just unnerving in general. It is amazing Nintendo did not get in any trouble from parents because of those games. Especially Majora's Mask.

[Anonymous No.507810]

>>507628
Another game I always chickened out on was Laser Ghost.

Those shoulder mounted Ghostbusters-esque guns were just too awesome. I'd like to own a machine one day, if I can ever afford it.

Star Fox on the Super Nintendo

>black hole

The background and music was too much for me and then I couldn't get out. I never tried that level again.

[Anonymous No.508563]

Silent hill 1 and everything about it.
From the part when those little guys attack you in the back street, walking down empty streets, exploring empty houses and buildings.
I was absolutely horrified of the school part, but somehow managed to push on until i got to the hospital.
As a child i've spent many years in hospitals because of my lung problems and when that part came on it hit me like a truck, i was literally freaking out and didn't beat the game until a year later.

[Anonymous No.508601]

At night when I was a kid, my dad used to hide in the bushes and make the exact same growl/gurgle that the Arch-Vile from Doom 2 made. Scared the shit out of me every time.

[Anonymous No.508718]

This guy's laugh, and the fact that he got more fucked up the more you damaged him.

[Anonymous No.508758]

>>508718

All that and the whole cyborg barbarian thing he had going on just made me think he was awesome. Never got a creepy vibe from him. Also:

Bad Toys on Windows. The shareware version was on this compilation disc that was simply titled "Arcade Games" (which actually had a shitton of good shareware titles on it).

It was a clone of Wolfenstein or something. No music, and all you heard was just the laughter from the enemies. The damn game scared the living shit out of me when I was a young lad and gave me reoccuring nightmares for a good while.

[Anonymous No.508816]

Hospitals can be horrible enough without shit like Silent Hill to colour your imagination during a stay there. You poor bastard.

The seizure inducing color freakout, accompanied with a bass rumble, quickly switching to a silhouette of Ganon on a red background and his laughter. Pretty creepy if you ask me.

>See a "treasure chest"
>Run at the "treasure chest"
>Proceed to run away from the the game when the "treasure chest" screams and gets up

Also, one time in a room with multiple redeads, when one screamed and froze me, my camera moved in such a way that it was looking right at a redead face
Hearing a scream and then having your screen filled with a big ole' spooky face isn't to great I tell ya wut

>>507663
I'm telling you
Pokemon hit it big because of the colored cartridges. everyone loves colored cartridges
(Apparently the DS and 3DS games don't have colored cartridges though what the hell)

This game sort of freaked me out. It was mostly the music. General MIDI is very unsettling.
