What non-horror game scared you the most?

[ExileNZ]

Knightmare for the Amiga. It was a dungeon crawler, like Dungeon Master, but those little elf/gnome/goblin things really freaked me out...

Failing that, GreySlayer, also for the Amiga, but that's arguably also horror, albiet in a somewhat more primative form.

I remember playing Halo 1 when I was like 9, and I had to turn it off because the first level was too scary. But right after I turned it off I decided to toughen up and kill some bitches.

Freelancer. Why? I don't know. I'm kinda afraid of big empty spaces (and going above the clouds in Ace Combat 2). That and invisible hazards (in Freelancer's case the radiation in certain systems). Oh, and the asylum level in the first Hitman game. I still hate asylums because of that.

The Wells in OoT and MM scared me to death when I was a kid, I'd run in and run out as soon as possible. And my brother was absolutely terrfied of Wall Masters until we figured out how to kill them.

These days, Thief can still give me a good scare. Especially those darned monsters levels, the Haunted Cathedral actually made me scream and panic when I ran into a hammer haunt in a narrow stairwell.

vault 22 in FO New Vegas is scaring the cr@p out of me at the moment.... I'm clastrophobic and don't like plants (well not ones that try to kill you that's for sure!)

Abe's Oddysee back when I was young and fragile. Mostly due to this guy.

Awwww, I loved him, thought he was awesome...
Betcha couldn't tell...

OT, Dwarf fortress, my friend introduced me to the game without a tutorial. I, enjoying a good learning cliff climb, began working slowly. I started figuring out what dwarf traits were usefull and which were not. I was learning how to use resources. I had even named each of the little blighters. But because I didn't know I could be attacked by an organised mob I had largely ignored the military concepts and had built a rather open and easily accessible fort. By now I had invested alot of time and had grown attached to my dwarfs as we learnt how to survive in the world together. My friend came to check up on my progress and had simply said, "So? What are you going to do when the goblins come and kill your guys?". I had a BSOD and quickly saved and shut down the came. Better they remain happy in stasis then suffering by goblins.

Diloquent ecerce? WTF.

I get a sick feeling on certain high places in the game Mirror's Edge. I've never been that good with heights, airplanes and skydiving excluded, and the controls were just glitchy enough that I didn't trust myself not to fling my first-person perspective straight off a 20 story rooftop.

Now, Assassin's Creed I, II and IIb didn't bother me because it was third person and I trusted the controls not to let me drop for no reason. Sure, it made for better gameplay, but honestly Mirror's Edge wins out in the "make me feel like what I would feel if I were actually doing this" department.

I get scared really easily.

Oblivion scares me because of the ghosts and other undead, especially since they can sometimes see past the sneaking. They were really creepy just in art style alone.

Fallout 3 scared the hell out of me. Between the freaky open Vaults and the feral Ghouls I was not too happy to play that game lol.

Hell, and everyone else seems to be mentioning Ocarina of Time so I will too. Damn the Hyrule Markets for closing the gate on me at night time. Those undead creeps that come out of the ground... AND THEN THOSE STUPID FACE-HUMPING UNDEAD GUYS WITH THAT CREEPY SCREAM IF YOU LOOK AT THEM. Holy shit, no other game has given me nightmares more than OoT.

The original Diablo.
There was just something about the music and overall atmosphere that made me shit my pants playing it late at night. It had way more horror than its sequel, which was more dark fantasy.
