I always prefered predator. I also fell in love with Half Life 2. That game is really cool. I have to agree with you about Doom 3, Stacie, It is pretty amazing.Chris Hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783793379217716451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-1143791657502360022006-03-31T02:54:00.000-05:002006-03-31T02:54:00.000-05:00Wow!

I think I played Splatterhouse (I thought it was on the SNES?) or some other hack everything in sight platformer. I didn't want to pull out the flintlocks but you brought up Uninvited... 13th Guest, more of a Tif but so's Nosferatu: Symphony of the Damned.

I paid full price for it and I sucked so bad at it that it wasn't worth the dough. It's pretty damn spooky, though, and it would make a GREAT movie. Well, it might- you never know what you're gonna get on the screen.<BR/><BR/>Never played Splatterhouse and...gasp...never played Maniac Mansion!

And Zombies Ate My Neighbors is almost what I called my blog I liked that game so much. Running through the hedges while a chainsaw wielding psycho runs after you, what else could anyone want?<BR/><BR/>Parasite Eve was a decent Tiffany. There were times where I'd be freaked out, especially the Hospital level, and not even want to play, but alas, it just didn't quite make me love it.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16318056886420896448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-1143609816219834932006-03-29T00:23:00.000-05:002006-03-29T00:23:00.000-05:00I never had a Super Nintendo, and I've always want...I never had a Super Nintendo, and I've always wanted to get in on some Alien 3 video game action.<BR/><BR/>What about Maniac Mansion?

When I beat it (finally) I went back and bought the Chicago Typewriter and took care of those nasty-ass zombies good ... but then the game lost its fun. Too easy at that point.

Makes me want to pull out my emulator and find Fester's Quest again.<BR/><BR/>Another game I found particularly scary was the first Aliens V. Predator game for the PC -- man, playing as a marine is tough on the nerves. Just when you think you've made it all the way upstairs to the generator, used up most of your ammo, all of your grenades... you have to get your ass back to the exhaust fan.

I grew up laughing at The Exorcist but when the dogs jumped through the mirrors in RE... I jumped straight out of my chair with a hearty "WTF is THAT!?!" and promptly fell in love. When my roommate left w/ his PS I went out and bought one just so I could replay RE and show fam and friends how great it was. Silent Hill.... uhhh... My man parts don't want to talk about that game. It is a truly creepy game that even outdoes RE's creepy atmosphere. The sense of isolation was disturbing, only being surpassed when you thought something WAS there. I might have to go out and replace them now that you reminded me how good they were. Thanks! My thereapist thanks you too ;)<BR/><BR/>CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
