What was the first game to actually scare you?

I honestly thought for the longest time that video games werent scary. Untill I played the Resident Evil Remake on the Gcube. I played the original and all of the sequels but this one was the one that took the cake.

The atmosphere in that game was rediculously spooky and I nearly shat my pants when I first ran into one of the re-animated Zombies. It was the first time I was reluctent to keep playing a game because it was freaking me out. I once actually turned the game off because I ran out of lamp oil to burn the corpses.

What was the first game to give you the chills?

Resident Evil 3. Damn you, Nemesis! You just never knew when that creep was going to pop up.The_Pig_Hostage

Yeah, same here.

Resident Evil 1 for gamecube, scared me so much the first timeI could hardly sleepthat night.

Resident Evil 2. At the time of playing I was only about seven years old at the time playing it on the PS. The zombies scarred me **** The licker in the hallway at the police station did me in though when it killed me. Turned it off and had nightmares that night.

Hmm first game to actually scare the crap out of me would either be Doom 3 or Gears of War at about 3:30 in the morning when its really quiet in the house and all of a sudden some kind of monster jumps out and attacks you.. The beserker on Gears of War was what scared me so early in the morning.. And doom 3 well... Just about any monster scared me lmao...

Tomb Raider.....stupid wolves

I just spent a few bucks more then I should have for a virgin copy of Silent Hill 3
I'm hoping this will be the one that manages to do the trick. :shock:

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem for the GameCube.

Getting your ass kicked, getting fake error notices, and hearing creepy baby cries is enough to scare anyone at night.

In RE4, the dogs in the graveyard scare me everytime. Also, that crazy stretchy guy gives me the creeps. The bathtub scene from Eternal Darkness scared the crap out of me, and whenever I go to play REmake, I turn the sound up loud because I want to get scared, but I end up quitting playing after about half hour... I don't think I will ever play that game long enough to actually beat it.

Behind Jaggi...Ahem, I mean Rescue on Fractalus! for the Atari 800/1200XL computers. It was a most excellent game in which you had to fly around and find downed pilots and rescue them. Most were normal human pilots but some were aliens that would attack your ship. The only way to tell if they were aliens is when you saw them running for your ship their faceplate was green.

The problem was that sometimes the way you landed didn't allow you to see the pilot running towards your ship. You could only hear his footsteps approach your ship...then there was a silent pause...and if it was a pilot he would knock on your door politely. If it was an alien though there would be this loud sound as the alien exploded up into you viewscreen and began pounding away at your craft. Scared the living bejeezus out of me the first time I played it and was unaware of this fact.:lol:

am i the only one over age 22 here? lol

THE 7th GUEST....was the first game that scared me

3D Monster Maze on the Spectrum 48k. One of the first games to be viewed in first person. That T-Rex had charisma, in a bad way.

Half-Life.

As soon as that thing malfunctions at the beginning of the game I nearly crapped my pants, then I turned off the computer and ran like hell.

I mostly do FPS games.

I recently tried Command and Conqure.

First time was against a n00b like me and was an even match as we learned how to set-up the game and some basic stratagies.

Then I got in the middle of an on-line game.

Didn't last more then 5 minutes - I was so overwhelmed, I s8t my pants!!

Earned my respect for RTS gamers - it's not so easy!!

It's probably the stupidest answer ever, but Ocarina of Time. Like Likes scared the crap out of me, and I have no idea why. I think that's really been the only game that's scared me, too(but I really don't play horror games).JML897

The Shadow temple used to give me the willies as a kid, still is kinda eerie though. Silent Hill has given me a few scares, as did Doom 3.

The first game to scare me was OoT as a kid. Those hands in the Forest and Shadow temple were creepy. But what I truly hated were the zombies. As soon as you aproached one, Link would freeze and you heard this unpleasant "Arrrrghhh..." from the zombies as they aproached you..
