The title says it all... What was the scariest moment or level you ever had to endure in a video- or computer game? Here are mine:
1) The Showdown of Resident Evil II - A thunderstorm over my town made it much worse!
2) The classic dog-jumping-trough-the-window-scene in Resident Evil,
3) The insanity-effects in Eternal Darkness - Sanity's Reqiuem,
4) The first half hour of Doom³,
5) Laugh at me, but the nightly phone-calls by unknown persons in "The Sims" were pretty terrifying!
6) Resident Evil 4, the first time being surrounded by mad villagers who want to kill you in the most horrible ways was horrible!
7) Now I'm starting the Thief chapter: The Bonehoard, where you had to steal a famed horn from the crypt of the Quintus family (Halls of Echoing Repose, wasn't it?). This distant horn music down there between all these zombies was spine chilling.
8) The Abysmal Gale in Deadly Shadows. A rotten ship full of zombies!! Does it get any better?? YES!
9) Return to the Cathedral in Thief I... That was the first time I had to end a game because I was so terrified I couldn't continue.
10) It took me about 3 days to complete this level, the scariest moment I have ever played: The Shalebridge Cradle in Thief: Deadly Shadows. I still have mental scars from playing this. For those, who dont know (without much spoilers): The cradle was an orphanage, after this it was a madhouse and after that both in the same time. Then a little girl vanished while playing with her friend, who said "The Hag" or "Gray, Old Woman", an urban legend in The City, killed her. After that, the whole building burned down in a "demonic fire"... And many many years after, you have to enter that building to search details of this old hag... Garrett, the cynical bastard you are playing doesnt fear anything and is bold as a brass, but for the first time you enter the cradle he is really anxious, you can hear it in his voice ("A vial of blood... Grrrrm, and it's still warm! ...Great!!") xD
Mad screams in the distant corridors, something moving at the top of the building and the closer you get to there, you hear a knocking on the door to the attic which changes into a wild thumping... Then you open it and... Well, play it for yourself 😉 I really have to say that was the most atmospheric, gruesome level I've ever played, Doom³ is a children's birthday party against this. Get a decent soundcard supporting EAX 4.0 and surround speakers, turn down the lights and wait till you are all alone... And then enter the most terrifying gathering of polygons and pixels ever commited in gaming history 😉
Now its your turn!
