Your scariest video game moments

[RaNkeri]

Just curious to know what have been the most scariest moments you've experienced in video games. I usually don't get scared very easily, but when I do I'm always close at having a heart attack.

What I can think of for now are the following:

Resident Evil:

When I was playing the for the first time with my friend at the age of 9, I remember how we both jumped up and screamed like little girls when we had the first encounter with a zombie dog who jumped through the window. For my shame the same occurred almost immediately when another dog jumped through the window.

There was also this part where you are in a room with one body on the floor and a table in front of a closet. There's a diary on the table which is written by some -if I remember it right- scientist who was infected with the virus. On the last page of the diary the scientist has turned into a zombie and written something like "tasty". When you've finished reading the diary, the zombified scientist rushes out of the closet and the body lying on the floor also resurrects as a zombie.

It's quite funny how after playing RE I've never gotten scared by similar scenes in other horror games. (Like RE2 and SH) Probably because nowadays it's way too easy to predict such scenes.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein:

Sure the game it self didn't have any horror themes or such and therefore couldn't predict anything frightening to happen. I was playing the game last summer with my friend. I was in the X-labs where the mutants had escaped. I was walking in a hallway when suddenly a lifeless body of a scientist is bashed against a bulletproof glass next to me. My character wasn't in any danger, but I was completely caught by a surprise, I fell down from my chair while my friend let out a mixture of scream and laughter. The shock I had was so huge that I couldn't stood up for a minute or so.

call of cthulhu dark corners of the earth when you're strapped down in the chair and can only move your head around and are being tortured is the scariest part of a game ever

and that's just basically a fucking cutscene

[Esuohlim]

Looney Tunes for Sega Genesis in the Jekyll and Hyde level where Tweety turns into a ferocious monster man that's scary

[executioneer]

when you've been playing mgs2 for like 10 hours straight and it's 2 AM and the game starts fuckign with the interface like it acts like it's game over despite the fact that you didn't get hit by anything and then it starts changing over to the old msx metal gear's interface etc etc is pretty scary, i thought i had lost my goddamn mind

[Guitar Woman]

The best part of the MGSs is how they fuck with your head like that. If the assholes in the last scary game stuff thread hadn't spoiled the secret of Mantis' mind reading scene then it probably would have scared me pretty bad and stuff.

YOU SEEM TO LIKE THE LEGEND OF ZELDA DON'T YOU

Holy shit I remember that part too D:

[Esuohlim]

Also some fucked up shit happens in Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

[kahljorn]

I get scared when playing stalker

especially with all of those new a-life modifications out there ;o

[gimmidamonii]

MegaMan 2 the fire level where the lights turn on for a millisecond then stay off for 2 minutes at a time.

The top one is obviously NIGHT TRAP for Sega CD, the scariest part was that I paid $300, and I couldn't even get a boner off it, so that was even more scary, then the Doctor charged me another $300 for Viagra. That was probably my scariest game experience.

Silent Hill was also very very creepy with the minimalist music.

That spiderman sig is hilarious.

[ArrowX]

the scene at the start of Call of Cthulhu DCotE with the little girl and her "mom".

about 80% of System Shock 2.

Fallout 2 when u visit the haunted farm for the first time in the dark.

So Far Bioshock is shaping up to be the scariest game I think I'll ever play.

Lesse...

Final DooM - Go 2 It. 'Nuff said.

Resident Evil 3 - Nemesis capable of running freaked me the fuck out the first time I played. I was like "A friggin' running tyrant!?!?!"

Resident Evil 2 - the whole "zombie arms bursting through the board walls, but that one gets everybody.

Resident Evil (GCN) - Crimson Heads. 'Nuff said.

Any Castlevania game from Symphony of the Night on up -

[Fathom Zero]

The Old Chateau in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.

Scaaaaary!

[eggyolk]

oh god no

[Fathom Zero]

The nightmare level where Woody has to fight the giant Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story for the SNES.

[DuFresne]

Angryhydralisk, I never really thought Go 2 It was really scary. Fucking hard with an ungodly amount of enemies, yes. But when the amount of enemies gets that high I tend to go into rampage mode with the game and not think about fear. Other levels with fewer enemies and more corridors freak me out the most in Doom games.

Oh, and I've never beaten that level without cheats.

God damn sanity effects.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Resident Evil- That godanmed zombie in the closet

Silent Hill-Taking the sword of Melchoir without using the Ring of Contract on that fridge door in Nowhere. That made me cringe, man.

Silent Hill 3- The underground tunnels.
- the drywalled body and those thumping sounds.
-he dark manniquen department and those hanging bodies

[RaNkeri]

Silent Hill had some fucked up shit too, especially the school and hospital areas. They're not only scary but they're disturbing as hell. Especially the part where you're in the toilets where you can see blood and hear somebody cry.

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/clivebarkersundying/The mansion level is scary as hell.
Lots of stuff to mess with your head, like walking down a hallway with a mirror at the end, then lightning flashes and you see a floating ghost behind you in the reflection.
:O

Silent Hill 1, the hospital. It's fucking creepy, 'cause in the beginning there aren't any enemies to be seen even though the backround music is fucking eerie. Then suddenly it gets really dark, but still no enemies. Then the walls begin to look like they're covered in dried blood and rust and the music is thumping louder. That combined with the distant moaning of the nurses had me crapping my pants. And the hospital cellar...yikes.

Even though not really scary, I loved the creepy atmosphere of the apartment in Silent Hill 4. Reminded me of Roman Polanski's "The Tenent". Too bad the game was kinda gay towards the end.

The underground labs in Stalker

[RaNkeri]

Wasn't it in hospital where you also had to fight against these zombie (or whatever) babies?

[ArrowX]

YES! I forgot Stalker, but it had some incredibly well done dank dark ruined environments combined with an awesome array of spooky fucking enemies, some that made me wish that there were more bunkers and stuff to explore than the 3 or 4 that it had.

[noob3]

i cheated through tomb raider 2 when i was younger, to bounce to the diffirent lvls and check them out (i couldnt beat the game by myself) and i came upon a lvl with a shark, omg! that shark almost made me shit my pants
