Anyway the toy level in Search for Reptar made me quit out as a little boy. That shit was legitimately terrifying and I can't remember why exactly.

I want to fuck Tiny.

I always thought the boxart renders of Crash were creepy as hell. He doesn't look scary in-game, but this is the last fucking thing I wanted to see in my bedroom at night.

This shit
I hated watching my character flail around while they were falling before hitting the spikes
Also fatalities in general

Used to play SWAT 3 as a kid and there was this one mission set in some church or something that had a sort of choir song in the background, I think. No idea why but that song gave me nightmares. It made the level eerie as fuck.

The draw distance in MML dungeons freaked me out as a kid. Shit would just come at you out of the darkness.

>>376590262
That whole early 3D era was full of unintentionally scary shit thanks to low draw distances. Another creepy MML thing that I only vaguely remember is an underground area that looked like space or something. I don't know why, but I always found that kinda unsettling.

to be fair, the music was pretty eerie

as for me

Would run out the room when my Dad was playing Tomb Raider 1 and the Wolf enemies would come on. I got over it for a while, but he got up to the part with spikes and the noise she makes when she dies by them just set me off again. I also had an irrational fear of Crash Bandicoot sleeping.

>>376590610
I would try and fail to do the above-my-skill backyard circus level because this fucking level.

Skulltulas, specifically the N64 era ones. Those bastards in particular are the reason I have arachnophobia.

When that first ceiling Skulltula in the Deku Tree dropped down, I dropped that shit so hard, I didn't pick it back up until Twilight Princess came out.

Especially the invisible one in the Spirit Temple. It freaked me out because I thought I would run out of magic and i couldn't see it.

And after that it broke up into Tiny hands making it even harder for me to control my bowelmovement.

I guess that's why the player is awarded with the triforce of courage.

This guy was terrifying

For some reason, the haunted house in the original Ape Escape terrified me as a kid. I can't find any gameplay footage, but I think there were giant ghosts that chased you through walls.

There was also a part in Frogger 2 that was similar, where you were locked in a small area being chased by a ghost.

Also this, I guess >>376593152

>>376588275
The monkey chasing you scared me too, anon.

The ps2 startup for some reason? It just made me really uncomfortable for a long time.

>>376593264
What was the lore explanation for these guys?

In what universe is this not scary?

Actually, I'm intrigued. Mostly because I feel like I've heard that soundbite before but can't recall where or why. What kind of c64 game was it?

You're not deathly scared of drowning, right?

How about we throw jaws in too, and a level where you drown twice as fast just to up the panic?

>>376593683
Imagine it's dancing at a club waving it's hand to the music. It talks loud and tries to sound like a real human. It's just a strange alien bureaucrat looking for a night away from everything where it can cut loose.

As you (Yes, "you", Anon.) slam back a few drinks at the bar. You aren't sure why you didn't stay home and drink while shitposting here on a Venezuelan documentary review website. You don't understand why there's an alien in the club or why people are partying with it instead of freaking out. But a couple more drinks go into and now you focus closely on the face. It's looking right at you and is going to let you smash.

Do you smash?

no, but i remember always being paranoid and scared when i played certain games as a kid.especially after i got tricked and fell through the floor in SM64.

After that i never truly felt safe when i played certain games since i always had this lingering feeling that something random could pop up at any time and kill me or fuck with me some how.

this paranoia of sorts stuck by my side up until 2009 when i played assassins creed 2. i remember being hessitent to play the game when i looked at it, and always on edge while playing the game and i somehimes even had a friend play the game because i was to scared to play myself, (never told my friend that ofcourse i was 13 at the time if memory serves).

up until the second mission after you reach your uncle mario in the villa.

After the third mission in the villa i lost that paranoia and it havent returned to me since.

>mfw i just realised Mario mentally scarred me as a child

>mfw a diffrent Mario cured me from the paranoia

what is life?
