IMHO, Even if you already know the game, this review is still worth
reading.

I don't know - but this what the rewiev says:
"..............in 1981, when 19-year-old Jeff Dailey died of a heart
attack after an intense Berzerk session. The following year, an
18-year-old named Peter Burkowski suffered a fatal coronary after
attaining two Berzerk high scores in succession."
Luckily, at 28 i seem to fall outside of the statistics.. ;-)

I've had two games over the years scare me so bad I dropped the controller:
1. Atari 2600 - Haunted House. When a ghost comes right through the door
when you come through it and it had the loud clap of thunder.
2. Atari Jaguar - Aliens Vs Preditor. When the Face Hugger appeared right
up on the screen the first time hugging your head! damn that scarred the
piss out of me!
The only game to give me nightmares: Max Payne - If you've played this
game, you probably know the section I mean.

Of all scary games, System Shock II is the game that scared me the most.
It scared me so much that i had to put it down for a while....I highly
recommend this game, it is VERY intense.
Friday the 13th on the C64 was pretty scary as well back in
1980-something (it had the most horrifying, spine-chilling digitized
scream effect when Freddy killed someone, somewhere), as was Alien vs.
Predator on the PC. The soundtrack and EAX effects made it a pretty
f*****g intense gaming experience (dude)!

It was a hit around the same time as WAX had a hit with "Building a

It is built around Bezerk samples, and was released sometime between '86

Try looking for it on some P2P service or something, i remember
downloading it because i was too lazy to hook up my record player to my
PC. It's definately worth it, even if you don't like that kind of music,
i think you will not like this a little less.....err.. ö_Ö

It is friday the 13th and it is Jason (though not much more than 8
pixels in hight). I played that a bit during my time at a bording school.
My most scary game from the ancient past is The Uninvited (Amiga
version). I know my brother will probably point to Alien (Argus Press
Software, 1984) as the most scary game of it's time;
http://www.c64unlimited.net/games/a/alien_argus_press/alien_argus_press.h
tm I still have the original tape and the cassette cover :)
Funny enough, I stopped playing Silent Hill on Psx for a period, as it
was a bit scary, imho.

Humanoid were Future Sound of London before they went all ambient/breakbeat
and if you like that 'old skool' sound you should check out the stuff they
recorded as
Indo Tribe (especially Owl and Bite The Bullet Baby - absolute class)
Smart Systems (Tingler and Creator)
and the Gary Cobain remix of Stakker Humanoid in 1992 was v. cool, you may
decry its lack of Bezerk samples mind.
No, no, you're wrong, the doll's name was Carrie!
-Sune
anyone ever heard "humanoid must not escape" by caustic
window (aka aphex twin). it's another great song that uses
berzerk samples. it's a bit harder than FSOL's "humanoid".
i used to play the game way back in the day and i never
made the connection until a started playing berzerk in MAME.

Rescue on Fractalus: Lucasarts. When the little
pilot comes up, and you don't open the door, and
if it had a green head it was actually an alien,
he would jump up into the window of your ship.
scared the motherf*cking shit out of me the First
time it did it, I had the volume cranked (as
always), and the little f*cker just popped up and

Yup, and if you accidently let an alien impostor into the ship, you could
hear him start taking apart the ship right before you lost control and
crashed.
I seem to remember that if you didn't take off fast enough, the alien
pilot actually smashed through the cockpit glass.

this one is *still* better !!
Sounds like a great film, too bad I never got to see it.
Or any of the next 8.
I did, however, have the pleasure of watching Jason X at the cinema in
Cambridge last night and I can't even begin to tell you how bad the film is
!! Man this is a bad movie, unless of course you like a ridiculous plot
like you have never seen, mixed in with Prisoner-Cell-Block-H quality
special effects and a huge amount of cheese.
Boy am I glad I took the time to watch this cinematic masterpiece !!
Still, it was better than Batman. :-)

Very true...he did. If you turned the engines on
while he was out there knocking, or when he was
running towards you, you fried him. Damn, that
was neat :) Suprised that never made it to the
arcades, good concept...

I'll check those out, thanks, oh great one!
-Sune
So you heard "Humanoid"? What do you think about it?
-Sune
I saw Bezerk for the first time at a travelling fun fair, a year or so
after i bought the record. The cool-factor of both game and record
immediately rose to 101%!

I used to be, but I gave up when none of them were scary enough. I was re-
reading 'The Andromeda Strain' by Micheal Crichton and it describes one
guy who "could fall asleep in a horror movie." That's me, in a nutshell. I
remember thinking how cool they were when I was younger, tough. I dressed
up as Freddy for Hallowe'en when I was about 10.
Thats the same way I feel about the American ones here. I don't even
watch prime time TV anymore.

I don't even have a TV ;-)
I watch the danish news programmes on the net sometimes though.
-Sune
About the only things I do watch are the news channel discussion shows
like Crossfire, O'Reilly, Hanity and Colmes, etc....
The last primetime show I watched on a regular basis was Murphy Brown.

We don't get any of those in Denmark. We have BBC News, Sky News and CNN
Europe (if you have cable) and two weeks old 60 Minutes shows on
national TV. There is only one cable provider in Denmark, and they also
own all the phone lines. Damn imperialists!
