childhood gaming nightmares!!

[Shaibana]

what game had you really on edge in your childhood?

for me it was Tomb raider! though i loved the game it scared me quit a view times.
the enemy's sometimes just come up out of nowhere!!


So what game could freak you out when you were young?

To this day, I utterly refuse to play a horror game. I am a completely wuss and just stop.

Seriously. I was playing the first Uncharted and I read online that in Chapter 17 or something, these scary looking monster creatures appear and after reading that I was like 'no way'.

I still haven't plucked up the courage to play it yet.

Getting noticed in MGS was pretty startling.

The first ten minutes of Breath of Fire II. (http://theologygaming.com/breath-of-fire-ii-is-scary/) It's a touch preachy, but dude's got a point; That's a lot for a little sheltered kid to take in.

Maybe Silent Hill. I don't know which Silent Hill. I played it at my friend's house. And I don't want to play that game, ever again. Made me unable to sleep. :(

Koudelka. It was horrific. Not the story or the atmosphere, but its terrible gameplay. Quite possibly the slowest battling system I have ever encountered. Each random battle took like 20 minutes to get through. :stare:

There was this game with a log cabin and a bear...

I never really got scared playing games until one night when my parents were out of town and I decided it'd be a good idea to play Silent Hill 2 late at night, in the dark, coincidentally at the point in the game where I was going through the underground prison/torture area.

NEVER. AGAIN.

The first time I saw HedgeClipper Man in the SNES Clocktower, I was playing alone and I freaked OUT!

[Pumpkin]

Silent Hill.

Also, Majora's Mask, but not for the game itself. I watched and read that Ben Drowned thing a few days ago, and I've had to sleep with the TV on for the past two nights.

This bad boy: Download Eye of the Beholder | Abandonia (http://www.abandonia.com/games/98) which I am delighted to see is available for download and will be doing so shortly! It was a Dungeons and Dragons First Person 3D RPG dungeon crawl. (D&DFO3DRPGDC, of course) The guy in the little blurb is right - the noises the fucking monsters made were horrifying. I was only 6 or 7 at the time, and awful at games. It never ended well.

Freaking "Jumpman" actually did give me nightmares.

Anyone who thinks an old and harmless Commodore 64 game is incapable of doing this is wrong!
