Because it was like it was "your fault" it happened.

I don't know what you're talking about. I've never heard of anyone being scared of a game over screen.

Only the third one unnerved me with Dixie trapped in the crib.

Same.

getting caught in dark scenes which usually in stealth games or niche games like stalker or pathologic really makes me jump.

>tfw everything in diablo 1 spooked the shit out of me

>made it to the butcher as a kid and got vidya-tramautized for years

>get stonewalled in caves after that because of difficulty

Feels weird man. I wish I wasn't such a coward when it came to horror vidya, I don't think I could handle shit like Silent Hill or Fatal frame. Maybe those shitty indie games but that's probably my limit.

I remember being spooked the shit out of during my L4D playthrough. What a fucking adrenaline rush, I loved it

I keep thinking about wanting to try these legendary horror vidya and have the pride and accomplishment of beating them but I keep avoiding it because they're not high in my backlog

>EVERYTHING in the castle level

the fuck

You get to have badass swordfights with knights in that stage, don't you? How the fuck are you afraid of that?

Only neogaf posters/fucking idiots were scared of a monkey with a cute bandaid on his face.

That fucking raptor, I'd forget it was there when it's been so long that it still ends up startling me when I start the game up again.

The game over screen from DKC 1 freaked me out as a kid. I think it's a mix of what >>14172481 said, and combined with the fact that young-me didn't get a good look at it the first time I saw it. So my initial impression was just a mass of flesh-tones in a dark room, and even when I did actually see what it was supposed to be it still had that mental connection to "what the fuck is that".

Ditto. He always ends up surprising me.

>I think part of the reason why was the fog that was present in many games of that generation.

What? I don't know what that line was meant to be but I think I'll just say that fog was used in that generation of games because it made rendering easier. With the hardware expending less effort, the framerate can be maintained better. I believe it's the third or fourth level or so that one first notices Ape Escape's framerate dips in big, open environments.

The first Postal. Maybe the game itself isn't that scary but when I played it as a kid it scared the shit outta me, had nightmares about the fucking game

The level intro tracks were phenominal in Postal

>>14172448

Yume Nikki gave me nightmares for almost 2 weeks. **I was like 16 I think.

>>14172518

maybe what scared you was the realisation that he's sexy owo

Predators in hunting games.

>>14172448

Just about anything, that was both invincible and would come for you, or could insta-kill you, scared me. The shark in Treasure Trove Cove, for instance, made sure I never dared touch the water in that level. The giants in the Drakan games terrified me, too, because they would just pick you up and kill you if you got near.

Even Postal 2 had some weird ambiance once you enter the cemetary.

Underwater sections always make me pucker up by butthole.

The emperor's face scared me in the game over screen of Super Return of the Jedi. I didn't expect him to make defferent ones after your Yes and No selections.
