Games you were scared of as a kid.

[nunqual]

I don't know if everyone has one, but growing up in a house where gaming was prevalent, I was exposed to rather adult games as a kid, and two games stand out that scared me shitless.

1. Diablo- the first one, I think it was the music, isolation, and monster noises. Especially the noise you make when you die.

Spoiler: The Diablo intro movie

2. Warlock (SNES)- just look at the freaking intro, and listen to the music! God that scared me. I don't think I ever made it past the third level.

Spoiler: The Warlock intro and music

Donkey Kong 64. Those freggin' caves and beavers that respawn at just the right times to scare the crap out of ya. I always found Rarware N64 platformers scary in general. I don't know why.

 

[PortalParadox]

The fucking underwater level in Banjo-Tooie.

Still gives me nightmares...

EDIT: (yet another Rare game)

There was this one old PsOne game that my dad used to play. You flew a helicopter, and I remember at one point you had to rescue glowing irradiated people.

I don't even remember the rest of the gameplay, or what it was called. I just remember being afraid of that mission. It made me paranoid of radiation poisoning for a good year. I was, like, four.



That, and the music accompanying the giant fire-ants in the PsOne Command and Conquer games. Not the ants themselves, though. : )

 

[Armored Prayer]

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire.

The Sewer level, oh god those monsters scared me. And then I had to fight one giant one while underwater.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Alien Trilogy. I just couldn't play it, I was terrified. it probably had something to do with watching the first Alien film at around 7. It wasn't even 3D! The enemies were sprites but something about the soundtrack, the random noises, the atmosphere. I just couldn't play it.

 

[PROcrastinator]

That fish that gobbles you up in Super Mario 64 *shivers* Still haunts me to this day

 

[Dango]

Majora's Mask. That game still scare's the hell out of me.

 

[AvsJoe]

Resident Evil: The Jill Sandwich version.

I was too scared to play that game for years. Now, not so much.

 

[thenamelessloser]

I'm not sure if I was ever that scared of a game as a kid. But anyway shouldn't this be on the game message board?

 

[Luftwaffles]

Unforseen Consequences in HalfLife. Oh ok, you want the cheese in the giant laser....dum dee dum....OMG WHATS HAPPENING!!! ITS NOT MY FAULT, I SWEAR!! Put me off HalfLife for about a year....

 

[SomeLameStuff]

I used to be afraid of the first Halo, on the first level!

Later got through it, reached the Flood, and got freaked again. Combat Floods carrying rocket launchers are a terrifying sight.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Banjo-Kazooie.

One: Whenever you ended the game, that cutscene of the bad guys winning scared me.
Two: Mazes
Three: That goddamned water level. I hated water levels as a kid.

 

[dududf]

Metroid Prime.

First pirate level.

Bricks were shat.

 

[Eponet]

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The Redeads...the first thing I did once I learned about it was get the suns song...by running right through the acid to avoid the ones that guarded it.

Medieval 2

That ripper person scared me when I first encountered him. I was terrified of going outside at night.

 

[Urgh76]

Goddamned Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time

 

[Tsaba]

resident evil 2.... I don't think I need to say more.

 

[ethaninja]

I remember Duke Nukem 3D, there was a section that used to grab the pants off of me. And that was every single section that had a facehugger in it

So the first chapter was the only chapter I would play unless my oldest brother was in the room with me >.<

Also, Clive Barkers Undying: I remember in the demo when you were inside the mansion, and there was this hallway with a mirror, and you heard laughter, turned around and this dude was right behind you.
