This fucker scared the shit out of me as a kid. Especially, that scream. Oh god. When I saw the signs that this guy was going to show up and end the game I would quickly duck under the computer table and cover my ears.

I've moved on since then obviously and nowadays I can watch things like Takashi Miike films and not be phased but, we all have to start somewhere.

So what gaming moment frightened the hell out of you the most?

In Quake (I've long forgotten the names of enemies) the jumping claw creature. The orange one that moves really fast. What a horrible feeling to run away from it knowing it's much faster than you and he's right behind you and every second could be your last. And you could hear him grunting and jumping right behind you. We called him something like "monkey"
Also, the largest enemy, the white monster that claws and shoots electricity. He was just hard so we never wanted to fight him and avoided him at all costs. We called him "Mamma". Maybe it was because he was like the mother of all terrible beasts or something.

Hey OP, the creators of Space Quest are making a new Space adventure game called SpaceVenture.

You probably already know this and pledged to their Kickstarter.

But if you didn't see this, they were having live chats online and posting concept art from the Space Quest game.
