Quake 2 had its moments too. Of course, to properly experience them you had to be playing late at night with headphones on loud.

The scariest game I ever played was Friday 13th for the Amstrad. You'd be moving your character around searching for Jason, and whenever he murdered someone a bloody hockey mask would pop up on screen accompanied by a scream coming from the speakers. Scared the **** out of me first time I played it.

For atmosphere you can't beat this one adventure game about the Lovecraftian mythos. I forget its name though.

Well, how about Alien vs. Predator playing marines? That's the scariest game I've ever played, never got past level 3 purely because I was too scared to continue

Certain parts of the SP campaign in MoH:AA and SH can be abit scary if you concentrate. Especially the background music has a certain effect.

Another vote for System Shock II. Damn, the final stages were so creepy that it took me a while to simply have the guts to finish the game. I still get shivers every now and then.

Honourable mention to the first Resident Evil game which scared the shiat out of me years ago.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

1. stay up for 48 hours straight
2. make sure it's night time and very dark
3. you have to be the only person in the house
4. play any game
5. start hearing/seeing things
6. get scared!

erm, well maybe only 1, 5, and 6 are required...

the very first level was quite scary. IIRC, you get a hint where the aliens are hiding but that doesn't help much. neither does waiting for them to arrive on their own.
It was then when I decided to finish the game as a predator first.

AvP Excellent use of the motion tracker "blips" too, even when you knew they were coming close (from above or below) it made it much scarier.

especially because you couldn't see them coming, but still your motion tracker kept saying they were approaching...

The Myst games were somewhat scary. The fact that there is almost zero character interaction always creeped me out a little. Plus, I always felt I was being watched for some reason.

Aliens V Predator 2 certainly had it share of jumpy moments, but I never felt as on edge as with SS2.....I think the story was just more engrossing. AVP2 was more about quick frights.

Also i remember ecstatica (sp ?) having a good shock value.

The most scared I ever got from a game was Wolfenstein 3D.

"Halt" screamed at you from out of nowhere, in the middle of the night?

I about hit the ceiling.

ACK!

That "stay awhile, stay forever" voiceover from Impossible Mission always gave me the creeps as well.

the "alone in the woods" level is truly awesome, never been so ingrosed (is that the word? involved;sucked in) in any other game ever, absolutely brilliant .

Now this is funny.

Well, I had my scary moments with Ultima VII too, especially when I was lost in the woods and the darkness would fall. I kept squinting at the screen trying to notice any kind of movement from possible monsters or some such... And Iolo seemed to be as scary as I was, because every time I moved he came closer and closer...

Spear of destiny was even scarier. I can't find a screenshot of that red demon but still have a look at some others.
