Games that scared you when you were younger

[keiffer01]

So you probably read the name of this topic and must've said to yourself,'' WTF?'' And yeah, I must say some games actually scared the shit out of me when I was younger (about 6-7 years old). Remeber the game boy camera? Everytime you went to take a photo, but you couldn't take anymore, or when you went to print something, but the freakin' cable was badly connected to the printer, one of three wierd and creepy faces would appear on the screen. One face was some kind of gene simons guy with devil like music, the other one was this fat ass with weird hair with pitch black eyes and some kind of taunting music, and the last one was...well...gay. But these 3 pictures actually haunted me whenever i played with my game boy camera. I tried to do everything to avoid them so I wouldn't see one of them. And when I saw one...I looked away from my game boy, and yeah i was scared Today I look back at these pictures and Im like '' why was i even affraid of that!?'' But anyway, did you guys ever got scared by some kind of game when you were younger like me?

Doom. At night, with the lights off. And with stereo headphones. Even today it gives me the creeps. But what really scared me off when I was younger was the DSOUCH face in Doom. It's one of the faces shown in the status bar, which due to a programming error only appeared in the strangest of circumstances, and it's horrible. That face will scare me for the rest of my life.

Mortal Kombat because all of the blood & gore

Tetris.
After playing it for a while, I see it when I close my eyes.
there are 6 rows filled, except for the block all the way to the left.
The only pieces I get after that are all the S shaped ones.
Scary as hell.

That's called The Tetris Effect. I have it too (with some slight variations) and it doesn't scare me at all ^^U. It has to do with the part of your brain that handles Tetris. I also see tetrominoes (Tetris pieces) falling down and stacking on mosaic-like patterns on buildings and stuff.

As a kid I was frightened by the Genesis game Robocop vs the Terminator. The game was just GRAPHIC. That, and Terminator 2 was the scariest movie my young eyes had yet seen. Even now when I look back and play it it still sends chills up my spine.

Resident evil with the lights off at night. Me and my friend used to play it at night getting scared as hell!

What's it called when you are playing GameBoy and you feel like you're floating?

EDIT:  I looked up that thing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect
and I have had everything in between
"People who play tetris for a long time" and "hypnagogic imagery"
I love that game.

Resident Evil and Silent Hill for the PlayStation.

The scene from Resident Evil that scared me the most was the corridor on the East side where Dobermans jump through a window as you pass it.

Everything about Silent Hill creeped me out, and still does, but not to the same extent.

I can't say I can recall any scary games because there weren't any in the 80's when I was a youth.  However Aliens did get me nervous, when some of my Colonial marines died after being chased by warrior Aliens in the Colony. That game was like the movie.

It's a little cliche, but I was legitimately afraid of Resident Evil 1 for PSX as a kid. I actually had to have one of my older cousins play it while I watched. I couldn't even get through it, I was THAT scared.

Jaws on NES.  I used to be terrified of that movie and music.  My older brother would make me cry by chasing me around the house screaming the music.  He would turn the TV and NES on late and night and blare the music so I would wake up to hearing it.
