Yeah yeah i know the classic gaming area failed. But this is a nintendo forum so it won't kill anyone to remember the game.
I have just started playing it and does it scare the hell outta me!
The arrow moving thing is dumb but you forget about it after awhile.
My point is it is so freaky to be weirded out by such an old game.

So anyone ever been scared of a game with such old graphics?

Yes, I got scared out of my pants when I played the old SNES residant evil. I must say that is one of the scariest 32 bit pixel character game I have ever played. It's just the fear when the zombies just jump out at you.

That's the scariest "old graphic" game I have ever played.

There isn't a SNES Resident Evil... plus the SNES is 16bit. Maybe you're talking about the original Playstation game (or perhaps Sweet Home on the Famicom/some emulator)... but yeah.

So is Clock Tower, but no big deal. Might as well keep this in Nintendo since it's still the busiest area.

"Zombies Ate My Neighbors." I swear it on anything to be the most frightful thing you will ever put in your Genesis. Mainly because it is such a bad game that you have no other choice but to be scared.

:p

[EDIT] - *Wonders why he even puts the ":p" emoticon*

Ok, ok, it was a good game. I just could not think of any old school scary games off the top of my head...

..but luckily, I have one now! When I first played the original "Mortal Kombat" (~'93...so, when I was 8) some of those finishing moves shocked me - espeically SubZero's skull pull and Scorpion's flamethrower. Now I bask in their greatness even when I play now.

:p

The Zombies ate My Neigbors was the greatest game. My bro has a mod chip for his XBOX and it is awesome. I played for SNES as well but the game is so fun. Especially the trampolines... lol. But whoever doesnt like that game is insane...

I was never scared when playing Clocktower to be sure, but it is frantic. Despite the outdated graphics, there's a certain atmosphere there that gets my blood going. My experience with the classic Super Famicom version isn't anything to brag about, but it did seem to have the general feel of its PSX counterpart (although it was a tad sluggish, comparatively).

My main point is that the survival horror genre often places an important emphasis on detailed graphics to create a chilling atmosphere. And that is important to a certain extent. But, I prefer other things like the helpless atmosphere of Clock Tower or the artistic spin of Eternal Darkness (even if I hated the game for some odd reason), where effects are used to make the game compelling.

Mortal Kombat was pretty scarey when I was little. Those characters still kind of creep my out. The four armed dude was the scariest of all then when his sister came she was even more scary. The man with the knives for fingers was also scary. Reptile, Subzero, and Scorpian weren't all that scary at all but my my favorites.
