Games that have scared you or permanently scarred you in your youth

That's what I was speaking of. It was intense. There were rats and things you couldn't see until the last minute... It was like Resident Evil, just the whole "zombie" aspect was replaced with "creatures from the foulest depths of hell."

I guess, in that respect, it was like a fusion of Doom and Resi... But the game didn't scare me, so much as annoy me, since I could never finish the first level without cheats. I had the whole first level down to a science, but there was always that one surprise that I KNEW was coming, but just wasn't prepared for.

Actually... I think that's the only game I HAVEN'T made it past the second level in... The first level killed me almost every time, and if the first level didn't, the second did... THAT mentally scarred me for life...

yeah most likely.
mine wasn't what everybody has been talking about
with wars and fighting games like that
mine was more, creepy little creatures that walked
around and you had to follow them everywhere,
and make sure they didn't somehow die.

Aggravating game, but the creatures were scary..



Or at least they were when I was little

The only actual game I recall scaring me as a child was mumbly-peg (or however you spell it). As an adult I also realize that my fear was far less than it should have been, considering I was probably about 6 years old and playing with knives.

explains a few things though.

I don't know why, but DMC has scarred me from all shooters of it's genre. I'm really horrible at the game, which totally turns me off from many games that are similar to it.

Zelda: OoT. Why, you ask?

Because I was sooo afraid of falling off a cliff and being hit by random giant spiders that I didn't go outside for a week after playing it! *shudder*

Most video games scared me when I was little cause:
a. I didn't play a lot of them, so I wasn't use to them
b. I thought outside the box....which resulted in thoughts like "if I hit this invisible wall enough......will a HUMONGO DRAGON COME OUT AND EAT ME?!"

Yes. Yes it will.

And I've actually played a game that was just random enough to pull something like that. I'll have to go find it amongst my collection of SNES games to remember the title, but trust me, don't hit any invisible walls.

Recently Dead Space had me jumping out of chair and paranoid of sounds for like a week.

Alien 3 on NES.
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis back in the days...99-2001-like?

LMAO that thing scared the living hell out of me so many times. I would be fighting a mob, then I'd loot it and turn around and...HOLY SH- Fel Reaver is looming over me just out of aggro range. As a rogue: Spamming the sprint and stealth hotkeys like there's no tomorrow. XD
