Been falling in love with some older ones lately, like Splatterhouse and Clock Tower (the SNES original released in Japan)
Makes me want to play Eternal Darkness again.
What are your faves?
Mine are: Resident Evil (GC) Eternal Darkness (GC) Clock Tower (SNES - Japan only) Clock Tower 2 (PSOne, Clock Tower 1 here) Silent Hill 1&2 (haven't played three yet) Splatterhouse 2 (Genesis)

yeah, all you need is an emulator (like a game system on your pc, most of them are compatible with all OS) and the roms (games) are you're set.
Actually, check for an emulator - their emulator collection is WAY better, plus they can tell you which are good and which suck ass.

Alone in the Dark is great, and all of its sequels (there's even going to be an Alone in the Dark movie). Eternal Darkness, Clive Barker's Undying, 7th Guest, 11th Hour, the Resident Evil Games, Alice (going to be a movie based on this one too, as well as another game by American McGee based on The Wizard of OZ). I've never played any of the Silent Hill games, but I've been meaning to.

I haven't played Undying yet, though I want to.
If you want a good idea of what you're in for in terms of Silent Hill, imagine being in a pitch black hallway with nothing but a flashlight and a radio... and the only way you know that something is coming is random white noise coming through on your radio... growing increasingly louder as the enemy draws near.
heart-gripping, i tells ya! :D

The only game that ever scared me enough to make me stop playing because I wasn't enjoying it is Aliens V. Predator 1 on the PC. It looks a bit dated now, but it's still fantastic for making you jump.

Yeah... hm... I really like scary games to. I remember I thought 'alone in the dark' was quite scary.. atleast the title was.
I want to play some new scary games, so I'll remember this thread.
Also one of the best PAC-adventure games of all time; "Maniac Mansion" was quite scary. That games is so great I shall play it through one more time when I have time (perhaps next week! :)

No, I didn't get very far with the alien or the predator. I actually got stuck really close to the start as the predator. For some reason it was only really scary playing as the marine... I don't know if it was because you sympathise with a human character more or the fear of runnig out of ammo (the other character were quite good at hand to hand)

ceri: the scariest part for me as the marine was the way EVERYWHERE was virtually pitch black, you'd end up with the only source of light being your gunfire. awesome atmospherics in that game

I waited to post a link til I found a more decent version, but this combo will *do* anyway:
Download the english version:
from dosgames.nl
Download the Spanish version:
from http://digilander.libero.it/avvgrafiche/
--- Instructions ---
Now, unpack the englishversion to a dir. In this version (atleast on my puter) the mouse was not enabled at start.
So extract the .exe file from the spanishversion, and voila:
You've got yourself the englishversion but with mouse and everything.
I think this will work (but I haven't played it through yet, so I am not sure, otherwise
just play the game using the keyboard).
--- Remember: ----
You can use the keyboard for all commands (use/fix/open/etc)....
And F1-F8 is also used in the game (change character, switch the sound on/off, save/load game, etc)
---
Hope you enjoy the game! I'm sure I will, it's been a while since I finnished it!...
peace. / key

notes on that post:
You can use the keyboard for all commands
= Letters. E.g:
q = push w= open e = walk to a = pull s = close d = pickup z = give x = read c =what is
(etc, as you see where the command is located = where the key to control the command is located on the keyboard)
I haven't played it through yet
No... but I did try it and you could save the game and everything (using the Spanishversion .exe with the englishversion).
And with a mouse you can do stuff a lot faster than when only using keyboard.
I am really looking forward to playing this game! damn. It rules.

1- Silent Hill 2- PS2 - unparalleled atmosphere, much eerier than Silent Hill 3... I was depressed as hell afterwards (especially after the ending I got)
2- Resident Evil 2- PS1 - I beat this game tons of times back in '98, had a lot of fun with it. It just stands out for some reason.
3- Resident Evil: Remake- Gamecube- most beautiful game ever made
Yeah, Firday the 13th for NES was tough as shit, I always used to get lost in the woods. And whenever I encountered Jason in a cabin, I would shit myself.

okey I was just playing it for a while, and when you encounter this text:
USE [object] with* [object]
[whenever you do something, the above was just an example] the -with- word is in spanish (when using the spanish .exe).
But this is no problem, you don't even need to know spanish.
And everything else (all the dialogue I encountered so far) is in english. Just save bouth packed files, and you can switch back (to the orginal english .exe) if you feel like it.
peace! And now play the game!
