Games that scared you when you were younger

[Mr. Gimmick]

anyways, I wasn't really scarred by any games, I guess DOOM was about the closest I got to being scarred, but its a good kinda scary. I loved that game and still do. Also Blood is a pretty creepy game. Both are great PC classics

There is something like the Tetris effect? WTF?!! Hey, I have that, too sometimes, not only with Tetris, but with other puzzle games also. It's not scaring at all, though.

It is when you are given bad pieces that stupid s shaped one over and over

There's a Guitar Hero Effect, too. If you look at the bar thing moving, then look at something, like a tall bookshelf, it looks really weird.

I'm horrible at that Guitar Hero.

Zelda II:The adventure of Link when the game over screen appeared,  I  was scared of Ganon  and his laugh back then so I would always use my game genie to give me infinite lives.

lol me too

If I play lots of DDR or ITG, I see arrows scrolling faintly some times.

I totally forgot about this, but did anyone here play the original Alone in the Dark? Ridiculous. Just...ridiculous.

I did. On the Macintosh. And I agree .

The intro to Fester's Quest used to scare the hell out of me when I was little. I wouldn't even play the game until a few years later, when I was 7. Since then it's actually become one of my fav NES games.

Yeah, that game scared me a bit.  I don't know if it was just the Game Over screen, but I'm sure that contributed to it.

Generally, though, it was probably because the game was so different from Zelda I, and the music was kind of freaky.  I mean, I was only a few years old, but the game is still kind of freaky to me...Just a little.

Actually, my sister is frightened of Majora's Mask, since the game is so dark and depressing (everyone's going to die in three days, you can't do anything about it, etc.).  The music of the game, in general, and insanity of the last hour before the moon falls probably don't help, either...

I played that game in my old perished pentium 1 PC.....it was kinda of a freaky because of all the monsters. I also remember this SNES game I think it's called clock tower that there is this freaky guy with a big pair of scissors coming after you....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
