Silent Hill for the Ps1. It was one of those games where it's scariness wasnt in making a big monster jump out at you around the corner. It was a game where the subtle ambience of something lurking outside, and the eerie camera made it truly scary.

Tomb Raider 1. Though not scary in the sense you guys are talking about, it was scary in its own way. The black fog that was there to hide the draw distance, the loneliness of being hundereds of feet underground in a hidden cavern, the absense of ambient music...

and the first time you see the T-Rex barrel down the hidden valley from the black fog. Im glad they chose to not give him an intro cut scene, because he literally came out of nowhere. It was fantastic.


You're not as unique as you think you are, try again.

Snatcher.

There was a point int he game at which you didn't know anymore who you can trust and who you can't because he might have been snatched...

Basically it's jsut an adventure, but sometimes out of the nowhere real time shooting sequences come up, and then you have to be FAST.

Well, I was a child back then, maybe 9 or 10 when I got Abyss for PC. It really scared me and my bro, I don't know if it would today, but I remember it very scary

I remember playing Tomb Raider as a kid when suddenly some friggin gorilla showed up behind me and scared the crap out of me.

And I also hated Ravenholm in HL2 -.-. I was really so damn happy when I reached the exit ...

Yeah I know I'm a p*ssy, but that whole horror genre ain't my thing. Never was.

I remember Theif 1 scared me in the one level where you had to go into a zombie like cave before hitting a prison I think. There was also the level where you had to get the horn in a zombie hall. It was a pretty tense game for it's time. Wish there would be a Thief 4 one day, perhaps set as Thief 2 was, I liked the metal age.

I found Thief 2 to be far more scary than Thief 1. The mind controlled drones and those bomb shooting bots that would sneak up behind you and then play their recorded voice...yikes.
