I agree

those damn monkeys still give me the creeps.....

NO DOUBT... those damn monkies... I still hear them in my nightmeres. Holy crap. And those ghosts that would pop up out of nowhere... Cant tell you how many times I unloaded on them. I finished SS2 3 times now. I love that game. Why did looking glass die... why why why. (anyone hear anything about Thief3? BTW)

AvP and AvP2 were pretty scarry too. Never did finish em.

Hybrids!? Those things are only cannon fodder! At least you listed Midwives Their voices can make a grown man jump (combined with the zany synthesized/creep voices, they're just damn hard to kill). Spiders are also up there too.

BTW: My vote goes to System Shock 2 as well. I have yet to play the first one (Keeps on spitting out memory errors. It is DOS, y'know ), but I heard it's even scarier than the second.

MOHAA: Omaha Beach. Single player, extremely loud.

I have4 to say A vs P 2 being the marine was creepy with the beeps of the motion detectors or seeing the aliens standing still in a corner to outsmart the detectors

The Seventh Guest

I remember the first game that really made me jump ... Resident Evil, in one of the first hallways. Damn cerebus dogs jumping through the window...

And Resident Evil 2, in the interrogation room where the licker crashes through the one-way mirror. I was playing pretty late at night lined into the home stereo with the volume up.

As far as a game with sheer ambient horror, I haven't come across one yet. Clock Tower sounds like it would suffice though -- I remember seeing some ads for it back in some old EGM's.

I remember that game. I had the 11th hour, the sequel. It was kinda scary, nothing to write home about though.

i haven't played much scary games but

alien VS predator 1 playing as a marine
and resident evil (specially 2)

in the "second tour" when the big yellow guy appears i was sacred to death!!
i remember this scene where he appears two time in a row, like 3 rooms apart, he scared the heck out of me when he came from the wall

after that, i was saying to myself 'he will come again...he will come again...he will come again', he didn't appear like 3 hours later but i was still scared

actually when he appeared that 4th time in the game i wasn't scared..i was expecting it

Oh I loved The 7th Guest! I still have the game, as a matter of fact, I'm looking at it in my collection right now I surely gave me the chills. I'm suprised someone beat me to mentioning it

Also, Shadowman! When I played it, it got so scary and chilly at times that I had to stop playing it for a little while, gather my thoughts, fight off fear, and then continue playing again. Just remember what I said when you play it and hear the sounds of the tortured beings while you're killing them and sucking their soul! COMPLETE MADNESS!!!

Quake 1 was very scare, especially with Chambler and the blade-armed monster (I feel I'm repeating myself )

Castle Wolfenstein in the zombies level got mildly scary.

I actually love playing scary games, especially in the night with all the lights turned off, and possibly using my earphones. That's why I'm dying to buy Clive Barker's Undying now. I will tell you about my first impressions when I get it.

Like i said for all these posts... nothing comes close to Silent Hill and Silent Hill 2 for PSX and PS2....

Resident Evil and AVP are not scary.. just jumpy at times...

Nocturne and Undying gave me some chills but no more than a classic horror movie...

System Shock was pretty creepy but it it didnt touch Silent Hill on the phsychological level

Silent Hill gives you that dark deep down fear that comes after you play for about 10 hours and it starts to mess with your mind.. its the kind of game that you think about a month later while in bed and you find you can't sleep... its the kind that me and 2 of my buddies (all of us *mature* college students) get the chills playing together... its the kind of game that really really gets into your head and brings out alot of shivers you never thought you could have... And the thing is that, it is also a great series with great gameplay, graphics, sounds, etc... I played Clock Tower before but the graphics and control just didnt do the game justice

I remember playing Silent Hill and how f*@%'ed up it was--and I didn't even get very far. The haunted school and its ghoul kiddies biting at your shins is one of the freakiest things I've seen in a game--The game was too hard for my taste so I'm not even going to touch the sequel for psx2. Other than that, Resident Evil 2 is kinda scary, much more than the movie that's based on it. Oh and the Max Payne dream levels are kinda scary too--raining blood, distant screams and all..
