- The skeletons stabbing you to death in Beyond the Forbidden Forest (C64)
- The entire Chiller[0] arcade game. I still sometimes have nightmares about it, and I've only ever walked by it once.
They both turn my stomach just thinking about them.

- abakker 7y agoThe moment when a Wight burst in your cluster of archers in Myth, and the game voice just said “casualties”. The butcher in Diablo 1, filled with a room of dismembered corpses.
- lostlogin 7y agoThanks for that, they were awful. The alien chatter from Marathon is up there too and hearing that close by was terrifying. The rocket launcher noise offset it a bit. More recently, the Half-Life face suckers were pretty bad.
- Waterluvian 7y agoI don't think I've ever heard a more satisfying rocket launcher sound effect than Marathon. That game had fantastic sound engineering.
- vidarh 7y agoThe original Forbidden forest I think was the first game I ever found creepy/scary. It did a lot better job at creating an atmosphere fitting the subject matter than most other games of that era that were very arms-length in presenting peril to the character on screen without making it translate. Aztec Challenge came close in creating tension, but not enough to feel scary.
