Scariest game moment/enemy

[lalalei2001]

For me it wasn't a moment. It was a minute of terror.

So there I was, your happy eight-year old self (at the time) playing Chocobo's Dungeon 2 for the Playstation.

You played as Chocobo (from the Final Fantasy games) and explored dungeons. The music was cute, you were cute, and the monsters were cute.

Except one.

Now in the dungeons, there were item shops. Their items ranged from crap to devastatingly powerful.
Convienent, huh?

The problem was who ran them. May I present the scariest game monster EVER, the one who plauged my nightmares for weeks.

The Store Keeper, AKA The Grim Reaper, AKA Doom.

You're laughing, aren't you?

See, the reaper in the game was scary beyond belief, especially for my little self who was used to cute things. The creature had evil, red eyes, green tatters of a robe, and a HUGE (from the game's perspective) scythe.

And he warned me not to steal from his shop.

'Don't even think about stealing,' he whispered to me.

As I continued to chat, his comments turned nasty.
'Why are you so frisky?' he asked.

I was mad. Being only eight, I somehow got it into my head that the word frisky was a bad thing. So I decided to make him mad.

I tried to steal. Note the word 'tried'.

The door slammed shut, scaring me. The music turned from bouncy to a 'get out of here now' piano music.

And the words on the screen chilled me.

'Store Keeper has leveled up into Life Keeper.'

Life Keeper... Brr. What were they thinking?

So I decided to run. But no matter how fast I held down the circle button and no matter where I ran, Life Keeper was right behind me. His ATB Bar (which tells you when you can attack) was almost full.

So I kicked him. I did 1 damage.

Then he hit me. I took 673 damage and died.
I cried, scared to death (no pun intendead :p)

And then came nightmares about him chopping off my head.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Life Keeper is the scariest enemy ever. Period.


What about you?

Resident Evil REmake. Lisa Trevor.

When she's close, you hear her moaning. It creeped me out!

Lisa Trevor can't beat Nemesis for the "Scare the Living Poop Out of You" factor.

There you go, running down an alley, the only sounds are your feet against the stones, when all of a sudden, *BOOM* a door bursts open, dramatic, scary music starts up, and you hear "STARS! STARS! STARS!" over and over as this friggin' huge monster with a rocket launcher is chasing you down.

In the end of the first episode of Doom I whenever the Hell Knights came out and yelled, I thought that was pretty scary back in the day.

When the first time you meet an enemy he chops a guard's head off and licks the blood off it.

I've recently played a game called "Vampire: Bloodlines" which isn't scary at all, except for a small segment that takes place in a haunted house. I have to admit I had goosebumps during the whole thing. :)

Early in the PSOne's life, my roommates at the time and I rented one, and a few games to go with it.

We were about 25 at the time and had stayed up very late playing the games. Among the games that we had rented, one of them was the original Resident Evil. Well as we all know, the PSOne compared to the Nintendos and Segas had much better and crisper sound than any of these earlier popular machines. So it must have been about two in the morning one of my roommates and I were sitting on the floor playing the game and our 3rd roommate was laying on the couch half asleep. We are playing through the game and there is that scene when the dogs come jumping through the windows, well between the dogs barking and the shattered glass effects, roomate on the couch leaps about 10 feet in the air. We still laugh about this today.

Resident Evil 3, when Nemesis sometimes comes busting through the door without warning.

RE2, when Tyrant comes in the room through the wall in the press room
