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) |

I used to like 7th guest and 11th hour I've been looking for an XP compatible version but I can't find one anywhere |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try getting an emulator or something - try but i will warn you, they're very ad-heavy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool ! ta ! I'll check that out when I get home |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |

argh. that link be fucked. |

I'm not sure if you can call it horror or not but American McGee's Alice, Undying, Resident Evil, ...that's what i've been playing recently though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Alice should count. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it's close enough anyways. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

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 |

|
|
doom3 might be quite scary. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it does look intense from what i've seen - it's just Carmack working on it now right? Was Romero the one who left ID software? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
resident evil - the very original on psone. not to say that the gamecube ones aren't awesome, as i love those too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed sir - i'm still pulled in my RE2! :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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never played it actually - though i believe i watched a friend on it once - sorry, not much of a PC gamer - consoles for me, thanks. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
silent hill 2 is the shit! the first time i played we were sitting in the dark after a night of blazing. i thought it was real - i was shitting bricks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard a rumor that some people died from heart attacks while playing it (the psOne original i mean) which I'd believe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that wouldn't surprise me! i haven't played any other horror games. what would you recommend i start with? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wish i had the pc original of maniac mansion - i read an article about how most of the better parts of maniac mansion were edited for nintendo. the nerve! *makes a note to find pc version of maniac mansion somewhere* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can get it for free legally... let me find a link for you... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck yes, maniac mansion. *waxes sentimental* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no wait... it's not been put out for free yet... sorry it was Revolution Software () that released some games as freeware (for SCUMM)... But I'm sure you'll be able to obtain a copy of Maniac Mansion fast n easy anyway :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pretty sure - thank anyways! :D |
||||||||
|
|

I'd have to say Friday the 13th for NES is scarier then all of these games combined .... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, I forgot System Shock 2 - that one's quite frightening when played alone in a dark room. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
friday the 13th gave me a few scares back in the day - that game was fucking difficult though. half of it was luck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could you ever get very far playing as the alien? i remember completing it as predator, doing quite well with the marine but i the alien one seemed hard as fuck to me. i'm gonna install it now and see what i can do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have the pc version of maniac mansion. If you want it, message me (user desbo) on soulseek. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, i'm sorry - you see, i live under a rock so i have no soulseek - i don't trust fileshares since my brother found me a nice trojan on kazaa. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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 oddio: get soulseek :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And you could guarantee when you used the IR visor, you'd open a door and be blinded by white, only to see a facehugger suddenl appear on your visor... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey I found the game for you (online you can download it). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bible adventures is kind of scary too ... |

I waited to post a link til I found a more decent version, but this combo will *do* anyway: Download the english version: Download the Spanish version: --- 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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you've never played Maniac mansion... damn you must play it!!! Just read some of the comments on (on the c64 version). I am sure they will motivate you to get started right away... |

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! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not even always in spanish.... just sometimes... groove. |
||||||||
|
|

i remember this one game for PC - Amiga Darkseed? haha they used all of Giger's art to detail the walls etc. |
