Title: Looking for really Scary, Tense and Haunting games for the Amiga!!
Post by: barney on April 17, 2009, 05:20:35 PM

Does anybody out there remember any games for the Amiga that scared the crap out of them?  I remember two myself, they were "Alien Syndrome" and "The Lurking Horror".  Anybody have anything else to ad to this list?  Thanks.

Dark seed, the H.R.Gieger game. That was pretty freaky!

Um...Elvira. And the first time I played dungeon master.

And the first time I played Alien breed 3D 2. I'd never played doom, so this was an experience. The subliminal music, the robots with flashlights on their shoulders... ah memories!

I'd have to search long and hard in the memory banks, but It Came From The Desert quickly comes to mind. Very well done, great atmosphere, creepy and excellent music.

Out of This World & Flashback were pretty intense from a gamers point of view. Weird anyway. None of these games "scared" the crap out of me or anything (was already too old by that point), but they have their moments. Guess the last game I felt was executed really well "scary" wise would have been the Atari Jaguar's Alien Vs. Predator.

dungeon master was very scary if you played it back then.  It had those great scary sounds in the background.  tame by todays standards, but very cool then.

ok, I dont know the name of it...

Its a game you can play against someone w/a modem.  I think the main screen has a skull on it.  Both of you are supposed to find each other and kill each other..  Its a top-down view, not 1st person.

sorry for the lame description..

Another somewhat suspenseful game was Hacker II by Activision.  The music was eerie as hell.

O/T  I am in the  middle of playing fear 2 on the 36o and its the most creepy well done atmos, jumpy, general feeling of unease game i have played.

Not much jumping, bu so much out the corner of your eye.

There was also another FMV title on thecd32 which had a speed boat on a lake and you had to evade bad guys on the docks, bridges shore, and shoot them before they got you
don't remember the name but this falls under tense

Also It Came From The Dessert 2. The sound the ants made when they attacked is unforgettable
