And that's the reason I never played a 3D zelda game. I'm simply too scared to pick up Twilight Princess.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

My friend had an irrational fear of octabrains and the green slimes that grab your face in Duke Nukem. No problems with anything else, but just one octabrain's scream and then I just had to be the one to play through.
In retrospect, I was far too easy on him about this.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
I remember picking up an issue of Tips and Tricks a long time ago which had a walkthrough for Clock Tower in it. Just pictures and the concept freaked me out, and I really wanted to skip those pages every time that I picked the magazine up, because a psycho with giant scissors is pretty insane.
I watched my friend play Wolfenstein when I was young, and I dislikeds how the pixelly enemies just popped out of nowhere. Off topic: We also played Doom 2 with a Simpsons Patch (enemies are Simpsons characters), and he told me that if we played without the patch I would be terrified. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I played Bubsy 3D once. Shit, that was frightening.
Also everything in Project Zero scares me the fuck out. The house is literally alive, yet people keep going in, ropes keep appearing from the roof, and ghosts walk around. I'm never going to complete that game because I'm a total wuss. FELIPE NO |

How could I forget about Super Mario Bros 2 (Doki Doki Panic)
The final stage... just before the final boss, you go through the bird face at the end of each stage... I picked up the Orb... and all of a sudden the bird thing LUNGES at me. I shat myself. Literally. I then proceeded to turn off the game, and I never beat it until years later. There's nowhere I can't reach. ![]() |

Legend of Gaia on the SNES..went through that insanely long dungeon to get hte key at the end of it...played for 12 hours straight....and the game was glitched and I couldn't ge the key at the end.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Most traumatizing game experience is falling in love with Xenogears and Xenosaga episode 1 for their amazing stories, and then playing Xenosaga 2 >.> Nothing is worse than seeing your true love raped before your eyes while you are helpless to do anything but watch. I could only endure so much I had to turn off the Playstation and cry for days. I never did finish that game... it's too painful.
Well... Xenosaga 2 was just a bad game in general... seriously, so many of those cutscenes could've been minigames and would've made the long scene much more exciting, more enjoyable, and might've conserved enough memory to let the thing fit on one disc. It's amazing how little memory code eats up in comparison to graphics and sound. How ya doing, buddy? |
Thanks for reminding me! I totally forgot CLOCK TOWER! I can't remember a game that made you feel like you were TRUELY in a stalker movie.
I remember that level where you were in house in the forest, near the city. You came to visit another character then he went to the kitchen or something and then BLAM! the lights went out! You were alone, in an isolated house, no one around and you're being stalked! I couldn't it play it after that... ![]() I was speaking idiomatically. |
Heh, for me my traumitizing experience was playing Final Fantasy VII after it was so hyped up and expecting a good game. Boy was I let down. It nearly ruined my experience for any "Final Fantasy" game. Tactics came and I had a brief hope that Final Fantasy games would actually become good again...I was wrong. Someday maybe, but I'm definately not getting my hopes up for any of them, since nearly every game from Square since has been drek.

The game that made me nearly shit my pants was an insanely quirky Dreamcast title called Illbleed. The game takes place in a demented amusement park and as such,it simply oozes with bizzarely campy horror B-movie atmosphere and black humor. Also,it's scary as fuck. O_o

I'm afraid of corners now. ;_; Jam it back in, in the dark. |
There's really only one moment that stands out that hasn't really traumatized me, but irks me greatly thinking about. Legendary Wings for the NES.
A simple, harmless capcom shoot-em-up, right? I'm just flying along a nice top-view level, shooting everything, powering up. Then I come across a giant head shooting whirlwinds at me, sucking me into his mouth. And where do I end up? Inside his 8-bit guts, fighting off bugs and worms and shit while some creepy nes music plays >.> This may not sound bad, but when you're 7-8 years old, it could be pretty shocking :P Other than that, nothing has really affected me. How ya doing, buddy? |
i was quite traumatized by that noise in sonic right before you drown. Those long labyrinths underwater without any air bubbles for such a long time really drove me up the wall as a kid...
but i would say that I was more traumatized by gannon's laughter in Zelda II. no lies, i had several nightmares in which i'd be playing zelda, and gannon would laugh at me as i died. the laughter would echo and grow louder as i tried to turn down the volume (to no avail)... he didn't stop, it was an obscure sort of torture that i had to endure before i managed to muster the energy to force myself awake. i came across several different "losing @ zelda" scenarios like rooms packed to the ceiling with those knight guys that could only be damaged by stabbing their sides/back. and only 3/18 hearts left, no potions, etc. which resulted in more of ganon's mockery. that woman in the hall in uninvited was also pretty creepy, i always died because i was always clumsy in navigating through the item menu. I wasn't raised on it, but i found that Out of This World was also rather creepy. with a fear of losing and a system built around dying countless times before progressing one more screen only to be sent back to the beginning (everything in the game had it in for you) i couldn't not find it a little creepy. now that i think about it, i really don't know when these childhood traumas of mine ended... This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Phantasmagoria 2 (PC). I was a kid when i played it and there's a scene where a hand comes off from a computer monitor (SPOILER similar to the movie "The Ring") really freaked me out. There was also a brutal murder scene where one of your co-workers is killed with paper clips, scissors, cables and a lot of office's stuff...
Playing "R" games while you're a kid can traumatize you for quite long time.... I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
There are two games that traumatized me as a child.
The first one being Zelda: Ocarina of time. I don't know about you guys but the redeads freaked the crap out of me and the worst part is usually you had to deal with them in the bottom of the well or in the shadow temple. Those atmospheres, along with the music, did not help one little bit and usually resulted in me running scared. The second one was FFVII. The shinra corporation was definitely terrifying. I remember being like 8 or 9 and putting my television on mute just because I couldn't handle the setting and music at the same time. It's amazing how the mind of a child works. I was speaking idiomatically. |
