Thread: Scariest Amiga gaming moment

At least it didn't take much to get rid of the evidence. Just pull out the plug!

I wonder if he got caught when the neighbours discovered the drains were blocked and called out the plumber.

An acid bath would surely solve all skin problems


When it comes to horror games, I find there's basically two kinds of scary: cheap, surprise scares (zombies bursting through the window unexpectedly), or creeping, psychological terror (used broadely in the Silent Hill series). Personally, I find the latter to be much more terrifying and effective. Silent Hill 2 didn't have many cheap scare moments. What it did so well, was creating a thorough sense of dread through suggestive imagery, disturbing, filthy scenery and a constricting atmosphere. By merely hinting at the gruesome events that might have happened in the past to other, less fortunate victims, it sets the player to imagining terrible things.

I had so many 'WTF' moments in SH2 - just when I thought it couldn't get any more obscene, it managed to throw something even more grotesque in my face.

Totally with you there. Psychological horror is much greater than simple shock based horror. Much more depth and intelligence involved and the sense of unease and disturbing feelings it generates really draws you into the film.

Hence why I'm looking forward to the next Silent Hill. The extra graphical horsepower of the next-gen consoles should elevate the game to GRAND NEW LEVELS OF SICK. Oh yes.

Have you played Silent Hill Submeg? If not you should, it's great.

Yea, I played Silent Hill 4....I think it sucked. I spent most of the time running around looking for something to do...couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do

Bad luck then, Silent Hill 4 is easily the worst in the series. It wasn't even supposed to be a Silent Hill game, Konami forced the developer to put that name on it so it would sell better. The first three games are different, and much better.

Really? So how do the others outrank them? Better storyline, gameplay?
