never hear about it
But my older cousins had it and they let me borrow their 2600 with game collection when i was a lil kid for a year or 2 and that game was one of those games. Haven't played it since
Oh god this made me laugh for no good reason.
Well it's not like I wasn't used to it I've been taking care of myself sense I was about 10 years old while my mom worked.
It's was just me and my mom, we get back from visiting family to find the house burnt down. We didn't have a cell phone at the time so my mom stayed over at my grand parents a few days (like two days) to get everything ready to fix the house. I stayed at the house to look over it. It wasn't that bad the shed was like a house of it's own with power, refrigerator, AC, a bed, and bathroom. Just not the best looking place.
It's not like I was locked in there and left for good.
For me, it's two Atari 2600 games:
Berzerk: when Evil Otto would suddenly appear, bouncing and chasing me with no way to destroy or outsmart him.
Haunted House: very creepy game at the time, especially when a ghost or bat would appear. The screen would flash and there'd be a loud noise.
Also, Metroid on the NES...it wasn't exactly scary, but most of the game gave me a creepy, desolate, lonely feeling.

Definitely agreed on Uninvited. The chilling descriptions of what terrible fate has befallen you, combined with whatever horrible image is up on the screen, really do the trick. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1dviCRdJuw
Good to hear someone else appreciates these games.I FREAKING LOVE Enemy Zero (and just about every Warp game)!!! It was a VERY intense experience.
I remember the first time I played it and everything was going smooth and then I heard "PING"! My heart skipped a beat. "PING PING" My hands started sweating. "PING PING PING" My heart was racing and I started to run away but got disoriented and lost in a maze of crates, boxes, shelves and the like.
The save/load and weapons system as well as the enemies only being detectable by audio made for a very scary game.
But the first game to ever make me jump would be D. Imagine that... another Warp game.My buddy bought it new with his Saturn and along with me and another friend, we crammed in front of the TV. The lights were off and we were the only ones home. Then we opened the door on the staircase (Yeah... that door) and all 3 of us jumped and shouted.
Mountain King for Atari 2600. Which I actually wrote an article about a couple months ago!

I don't remember the first, but Metroid on NES and The Immortal on Genesis both creeped me out pretty good. They're so... lonely.
Doom.
The first Resident Evil. The hallway with the dogs coming through the windows. Opening the door to the hallway and the music get really quiet start walling down the hall and BAM!!! them damn dogs crashing through the window.
I probably jumped when the Crocomire did that return of his the first time I played Super Metroid.
Count me in as a Warp fan. I haven't played Enemy Zero yet,.though. It's on my to-do list.Good to hear someone else appreciates these games.
Lemmings would introduce feelings of absolute horror and panic when a great plan would have a fatal flaw.... And the horde would plummet/die en masse.
Before that was probably Coleco. BC's Quest for Tires (since you were on the run a lot) and Frenzy's .... Whatever his name was.
Friday the 13th for NES also frightened, the desperate fights to drive off Jason...
<Sothy> its the internet <Sothy> who cares
There are plenty of those kinds of situations for me. When your stomach knots up over a situation in which failure becomes immediately apparent. I'm trying to separate out those scenarios where what's causing the fear is the fear of defeat. Otherwise pretty much any situation where I'm in the middle of a boss fight and I have one hit left would qualify.
But, yes, Lemmings has done that to me, too. Where all of a sudden you go into panic mode and start frantically placing stoppers.

Doom for the snes was the game that scared me. I remember renting it and playing it during the night with my buddy. Me and my buddy had nightmares for a week.
Another game that scared me was Drakkhen for the snes. All I got to say is Big Black Floating Dog Head Shooting Lasers Out Of It's Eyes. It still creeps me out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgNQYX2zH1Q see for yourself.

Mine were Venture and Berzerk for the Atari 2600. I used to dread the possibility of a Hall Monster or Otto showing up if I didn't finish a stage in time.
During this time period, I was roughly 5-6 years old I would guess. This was back in the mid-80's when I still had the 2600 and shortly before our household obtained an NES.
Alright, I'll bite:
Ninja Spirit - TG16
The blood-red Kanji and the creepy tune before the level started wigged me out every damn time as a kid
