You think that's bad? This fucker was barely an enemy. Seeing this dick was the uneasiest I've ever felt playing a video game as a kid.

The design is just so un-Mario. You're looking at a shit ton of goofy cartoon enemies and then bam "hyper realistic" Lochness Monster. Eat your heart out creepypasta kiddies. Even in the DS remake they gave him big gooey eyes and a pair of goofy looking goggles.

I played through Doom first time when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Went through the whole thing on ITYTD, summer '95. Well, almost the whole thing, couldn't beat the Cyberdemon.

Not only was he way too hard for me then (his rockets would wreck my shit and this was keyboard only. I didn't have the keyboard dexterity at that age to handle the CD), he fucking scared the shit out of me. Most of the time I was just running away from him and when I'd turn a corner and bump into his huge looming ass I'd shit myself. I was petrified of the bastard. Eventually I realised it wasn't doing me any good getting scared like that so I moved on with my life and went to Episode 3.

It wasn't until a year or so later that I returned to Doom and no fucks were given. Beat him then without a problem and wasn't afraid of him either... at least not nearly as much haha.

I was just about to say the same thing! About noticing an obvious pattern here.

I wonder why that it? I think we realize subconciously two things, one is that we're at a huge disadvantage underwater and two, we all used to be fish at one point in our evolution and genetically know what it feels like to be eating by a bigger fish. The fear in our minds runs as deep as the oceans in our nightmares.

I think vidya managed to unintentionally play on that fear. You're right though, someone should capitalize on that.

There's also the sound that some enemies make when gibbing. I only noticed it after I played a version without music, but it's actually really stomach turning.

Doom64 was my first taste of Doom and christ did that game give me nightmares. I eventually got Doom on the PSX and even that wasn't as spooky as Doom64-- it just nailed the atmosphere so perfectly. It wasn't until many years later that I started playing Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3 on PC and those were almost comical in comparison. Jesus christ that music wasn't fitting at all I almost couldn't believe it.

I've been wanting to re-play Doom64 because I think that had the best sprites and the soundtrack was intensely ominous and fore-boding.

The Butcher himself didn't scare me that much. But entering his room, covered in blood and guts and full of impaled and mutilated bodies, when you're five...I may still have nightmares of the Butcher's chamber.

Maybe the fact that the likes of Doom, Diablo and Resident Evil were among the first of my video games explains why I don't understand what other kids may have been finding scary about cartoonish Barney the Dinosaur-esque enemies like >>2071503 or >>2071535. My dad really didn't know what kind of games are good for a 5 year-old kid.

I still did get scared shitless by Gex: Enter the Gecko's haunted house levels a little bit later on, though...

Dude, it's light and openness.
Think about it.
In normal environment you need to either be in a cave or a walled in building to be deprived of light and still, movement vectors are limited.
Underwater there is literal 360 degree movement possible in EVERY direction and water bloats light naturally.
This is why it's stuff off nightmares.

It took the internet a decade to explain to me that it was a fetus' head and the whole battle was an allegory for pregnancy, rape and basically the deepest thing there is.

When I first played it I just saw a generic evil-looking skull that didn't scare me a little bit, not any more than Zeromus or Diablo. And I don't think that many kids saw the SPOOKY RAPE BABY in the fight either.

I can't remember how young I was when I played Marathon Evil, probably 11 or so. It's a very well made mod/TC for what was at the time my favourite game.
In my opinion, it still stands as the best video game realization of the horror aspects of Aliens, at least of what I've played.
AvP 1 was scary as balls, but this made me feel genuine terror.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjfUm7GW904

(This person is playing with the brightness turned way up - you basically couldn't make out the creature in the darkness before you were a couple of meters from it. These things were apparently called "Devlins". )

I felt a very real terror while playing. The way the creature sprite slowly became visible and emerged from the darkness... it seemed so real to me.
After dying a couple of times, I couldn't force myself to exit the first room and had to stop playing. I remember having this stone cold feeling in my stomach.

I wish I could experience such raw emotion again, but I fear that I've grown desensitized.

[Anonymous No.2087286]

>>2087279
Cont.
Watching Alien, did anyone else experience how the xenomorph was scary because you wasn't really sure what it was, or what it looked like? It was alien in the real sense of the word.

For me, Devlins emulated this very well. By having a complex body structure, moving fast and quickly emerging from the thick darkness, I never got a true feel of what they looked like. I only knew they were dangerous and that I had to run or die.

My first taste of fear from a video game.

To help clarify: T-rexes couldn't be killed in this game, so you had to blind it temporarily with bombs. You had no indication of when the blindness would wear off, and it could kill you pretty much instantly.
