One of the few games that truly frightened me, at some points, anyway.


The only games that ever scared me were Uninvited and Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. Shadowgate scared me too when I was little, but that was more of an "omg skeletons" kind of scary.

Then there were games like DOOM and Half-Life, but those were more like "headcrab out of nowhere" kind of scary, which is more startling than fearful.

If you're running Windows 2000, there's a user created patch somewhere that'll let you run it. If not, I can't really help you =/ Time for an upgrade, perhaps?

I know Phantasmagoria was banned there...that's all I can think of.

thats because its banned before they release them therfor not need to announce it. -_-

small Banned list:

1.Manhunt 1 and 2 for being stupidly violent
2.Marc Echo's getting up: contents under pressure because of it had street graffiti
3.(i Really wanted to play this one and is mainly banned in australia :evil: ) Dark sector for being slightly violent :roll:
4:Fallout 3 was banned for the fact that you gained health back when you injest morphine

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Dead Space yet - that game looks absolutely AWESOME!! Gotta love the concept of tactical dismemberment :D

I actually don't know too much about horror games. I've only played Resident Evil 4 and the first two Silent Hill games. Of the three, I'd say the Silent Hill ones had a more unique atmosphere (with the second one being better than the first). Again, I'm far from an expert, though.

sweet home by capcom pretty much started the whole genre, and the 8 bit diminished music is incredibly unsettling in a way an orchestral soundtrack could never be.

oh, and splatterhouse is always good for a laugh, smacking ghouls into walls with a baseball bat :) x
