Wimp.
I can't say I've ever been traumatised by a game but I've certainly been frightend. And nothing ever was more frightening than Eternal fucking Darkness. The bathtub. Fuck. I just froze up. For those who'll never play the game:
I mean this is a game that is chilling right thoughout but this is undisputedly the scariest.
Other games from when I was younger.
Prince of Persia. The mac version, with the better graphics and sound. Christ it was allright but then you get to level 3. The choppers, the skeleton the fuckign everything. Me and my friend were obsessed with this game. He was pro at it yet he'd always make me do the choppers, never mind that they scared the fuck out of me too.
Oh god and then level 4 with the mirror outta nowhere. And the whole level 6-7 transition. And the impossible toescape sequence of level 8. Non stop drama.
Also Super Metroid, I can't remember exactly but I found some kind of secret route and just the total absense of sound and the dark eeriy environment. Plus the knowledge that this tunnel was leading me right into the middle of an unexploredarea and I'm low on health.
Metroid Fusion too was full of tension and creepy moments. eg. every SA-X encounter. And that time you're riding the elevator and the power cuts...
Still I'm better somesome of the weak cows in this thread, becoming scared of water and refusing to play entire segments of games. What is this?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
