Im looking for a horror game. Any ideas?

Anything goes, but no Alone in the Dark (Already have it).

Might be to new..But RE is very good horror games!!!

I have another on the tounge but have to go to the bus in 30 sec!!! BYE!!!!!

Already know it.

Please mention something that is avaiable for download.

"The Dark Eye" (adventure) maybe?

Sound like horror to me. :sneaky:

Alien Breed - it's kinda horror

I would say the original Nightbreed game too, but it's not on this site

Ancient Domains of Mysteries (Might be considered horror)

System Shock 2

Sanitarium

Black Mirror.

Still Life.

11th Hour

5DAS 7DAS are good horrorish games.. Enclosure is great too.

Sounds good... link?

here for example... the game looks great but is a little bit to big for me (335mb)

Try Doom 1.....nah.. or try buying the Wolfenstein series.

I'd go with Sanitarium, you can get it at the Underdogs, but it's a bit large, so you'll most likely find Bittorrent a better candidate.
Sanitarium is not only a great horror game, but in my opinion it's the best adventure game ever.

nighbreeds one but it's not on the site i used to have it but my cd of it broke

Clock Tower, maybe...

Yes, Clock Tower is good.
But I ABSOLUTLY must suggest that you find a translated ROM of the SNES version, for it's 100 times better than the PS1 remake.

Project Firestart for the C64 is good :)

I always found Zombie a very good horror game. Very nice little music (at least on the ST, haven't tried the DOS version (which I am certain exists) ), nice graphics and you can't go more horror like zombies. It's an RPG in real time where your group of people must manage to get to safety. They start at the top of a tall building where there is a helicopter, and must find a way to survive where everyone else is a zombie. It is great to move around the mall picking up supplies while watching your back for an attack by them.
The viewpoint and battle system is a bit similar to Bloodwych (a great, but no horror, rpg).
I don't know if it is abandonware since I don't remember who made the game/published it.

White Chamber

sounds quite good

I'm a big fan of point n clicks, so I'll give Whtie Chamber a try at some point. It's in a similar vein to Darkseed which I also recommend

Clock Tower is the game with the serial killer with a giant pair of scissors right? And you have to hide from him in wardrobes and the like

White Chamber isn't bad. but rather short. Darkseed is a decent horror, but at times it just gets plainly ridiculous in gameplay terms (not plot), and likes to crash.

My recommendation: Shadow of the Comet. It's a little difficult in terms of interface, but two elements overcome this with a large surplus: 1. Cthulhu Mythos and 2. quite good puzzle elements.

Silent hill 1, 2 and 3 :D

Clive Barker's Undying.
If you can find it...

Silent Hill series is survival horror at its finest... I think the best is the first one on PSone (I've played it thousands of times) but the whole series is great.

Silent Hill 4 is a good game as well, I must say.

Go the ags website,

www.bigbluecup.com

and download Ben Jordan Horror at number 50. :ok:

I agree this game is good once you get used to it!!!
Its got my recomendation.

Most definetly. That game scared the life out of me :) but still I ventured onto complete it, quality. I can't go back to it now though, it's really hard on the eye..there might be a PS2 remake on the cards...

I enjoyed Silent Hill 4 as well, havent completed it yet, I might go back to it at some point. I feel it was better than 2&3

I've heard a lot of critics about Silent Hill 4: The Room, but I really liked it. It has a good plot, a claustrophobic atmosphere and sometimes it can be really scary.

I wanted to play that.. downloaded it and an emulator and everything but I was to dumb to work it!

C64 emulators are pretty easy, they're hard to find what you need though.
I totally forget The Suffering!
It was pretty underated (7.5 average) but man! I've never played a action/horror game that had me scared, and adreline pumped at the same time! Not to mention it's weird storyline and bizarre enemies.

Eternal Darkness is also pretty spooky.

Aye.
Although the fact that once you get the battle system in hand, much of the fear when encountering monsters is gone, cause... it's so easy to kill them by simply chopping off their limbs.

Even harder creatures like Horrors or Guardians become common procedure.
I LOVED the game, but the only parts I was really scared was in the mansion, that place was freakin' creepy.

Insanity effects were very fun. :w00t:

Ok, here's the manual for PF http://project64.c64.org/games/m-z/pfires10.zip

Which emu were you using? I reccomend Vice since it's really good and easy to use :)

If you have any problems with the emulator don't hesitate to PM me, since I think that would be better than to OT this topic ;)

5 Days A Stranger (Adventure [AGS Game])
Zombies Ate My Neighbours! (Adventure [Not Free For Download])
The House Of The Dead (FPS[Download From CGA {50 credits}])
" " 2 (FPS [CGA Download {100 credits}])
Blood (FPS [Abandonia])
Blood 2 (FPS [CGA {100 credits}])

That's my list. But if you're looking for scares just rent some DVDs out.

Hell, I only downloaded it yesterday, and it's really amazing (if you have a thing for c64-games and can actually appreciate games in a contemporary context and not just go "F.E.A.R. looks a lot better and is even in 3d", that is...)... :blink:

The monsters could be a little "prettier", but the whole game is really cool, especially the "cinematic" approach of it... 1987 seems to have been THE year for this ;)

I just wonder how I could miss this gem back in the days when it was actually released...

BTW: for all your c64-needs got to C64games.de (don't panic, you can choose an english version of the site ;) )... what THEY don't have, you're not likely to get ANYWHERE...

You know it's actually in theory impossible to be scared by a C64 game.
In fact, I was only once scared, and it was a text-based game.

Well, if you think that a "scare factor" can only be achievd through visual and acustical means, yes, then I guess you are right.

But there are also people who think that suspense, tension, surprising turns of events and most of all one's own imagination can also be really "scary"... and in that case it's rather unimportant if you play a C64- or a X-Box 360-game...

BTW.: Try downloading "Friday the 13th" for a C64-emulator... laugh about the crappy graphics and sound for about half an hour, just make sure you don't get killed (avoid the black guy... or everyone else for that matter)... and report back when you had your first heart-attack... :D

Gorkur hugs his Commodore

PF is really good and scary at times. I also missed it back in the day and played it first last year, got quite hooked for a while but never finished it.

Thanks for pointing out that site to me, I'll add it to the extensive C64 folder in my bookmarks :D

It is impossible.
You can feel adreline, but until Alone In The Dark, Horror games were about as scary as a tutu.
By the way, just because I say that it's nearly impossible to be scared by these games does not mean that I don't think they're good, or graphics are everything.
I'm just saying they aren't scary.
Don't be judgemental man. :sneaky:

Nobody mentioned last half of darkness? I played it when i was 8 years old and really scared me...A really good game.Recently they did a sequel to it,it is called shadow of the servants but i haven't tried it.

- I really love Blood, although some might prefer Blood 2. But Blood 1 has that real tongue-in-cheek campy horror feel to it, and it's a satisfying shooter as well.

- As for adventures I have to agree that Sanitarium is one of the best in its kind. It's an amazing game with great atmosphere. Play the underdogs version, but if you can find it buy the CD, it's oughta be worth it (I think).

- I'm still curious about Bad Mojo, but I never got it to work. Seems like a good game though.

- Abuse another one of those classics. It's a good game with a great atmosphere as well.

- Blood Omen. It's ESA protected so Abandonia doesn't have it anymore, but try some of the other abandonware resources. I like it a lot.

- In continuation of the Legacy of Kain series: Soul Reaver 1 & 2. Well, they're for sale, it's worth a couple of bucks. I got Blood Omen 2 with my package together with SR2, but I didn't really like BO2. Sure, it's more of a challenge then Soul Reaver 2, but it has got less story and the gameplay isn't quite as smooth. I don't know about Defiance, I hope that one's better.

- Some of those great FPS'ers almost anyone has been playing by now: Unreal (1), Doom 1 & 2, Half-Life.. you know.

This game is cool and scary.
No music, if I remember right, but that only adds to the feeling of isolation. This is just a great example of the effects of atmosphere to create a mood for the game (ie Resident Evil you can take care of a zombie easily.... but you're still scared).
Only in this case they didn't have flashy graphic to make you scared!!
This game would make a great remake

Bad Mojo is more disgusting than horrorific, but sometimes it can scare you (didn't work with me)

Ah, Shadow of the Comet, one of my favorites. That game gave me about 20 different heart attacks every time I tried to *spoiler* run away from the thing in the crypt *end spoiler* The sequel Prisoners of Ice is also quite good if you can find the english version, but you'll need to play shadow of the comet to play prisoners. In many ways Prisoners of Ice reminded me of Aliens a bit. =P

TWO games that are really great:

The Suffering,
Doom 3.

I already mentioned that. :bleh:

Reasons you do not let your children play the suffering.
-Child murder
-Language that puts "The Goodfellas" to shame
-Decapitation/Mutilation/Disturbing experiments/Blood

I know you did but mentioning games that are great, shouldn't be ignored - it should be awarded. The game rocks, and so does Doom3.

im not sure if Harvester can be counted-played it months ago,still have mental scar.Brr...
Although its more DISGUSTING(and funny) than scary

Games related to Cthulhu mythos are usually quite scaring (that is, Shadow of the Comet and Prisoner of Ice, and even Alone in the Dark, I think).
I also liked Veil of Darkness a lot, and you could try something of the Elvira series (I played Elvira II and it had some good moments) or Waxworks from the same developers.

Try Sweet Home for the NES, its known as the predecessor of Resident Evil.

You can find it at The Home of the Underdogs.

Dark Seed 1 & 2, Dracula 1 & 2 are all catagorized in Horror Section. Or maybe this LIST will help you choose something more appropriate.

Shadow of the Comet gets my recommendation as well because not only am I a rabid Lovecraft/Cthulhu fan, but it also is an excellent game.

Realms of the Haunting is a great horror FPS/Adventure title that you can find for relatively cheap on Ebay (I got my copy for $7 ;)). Wax Works is also a great (yet rather difficult) title that is recently added to our family of games so it shouldn't be hard to find.

Recieving my highest recommendation though is the Gabriel Knight series, simply sublime in everyway. ^_^
