The scariest moment I have ever experienced in a videogame was 2 days ago, in Ninja Gaiden 2. I was playing the end-boss of Level 6, Volf. He was very close to being dead. Outside, there was lightning and thunder. Then, the power went off. I was angry, not frightened at this time. Two seconds later, the power came back on, and my worst enemy appeared, one that I battled before. That’s right… the Red Ring of Death. I shut it off immediately and my heart was in my throat. I didn’t know what to do, and I sat there, frozen in fear. When my shaky hand turned it back on, I was relieved to find that it, in fact, was not broken.

I’d have to say the scariest moment would be
the school in Silent Hill 1 in the locker room where the cat, then the dead body drop out at you

my scariest gaming moment happened win i was like 14. i was at my cousins house spending the night and i had borrowed clock tower II: the struggle within. i new the game was sary but didnt care because i like scary.

But anyways as i was playin this little girl comes out of nowhere chasing me at a slow pace, which wouldnt b bad if she wouldn’t have kept up with me.(it was kind of like a friday the 13th kind of thing)

And it seemed like no matter wut i did i couldnt kill her.well needless to say i never beat the game (i just cant deal with that girl, so creepy.) So i decided 2 stick with somethin less frightening like residewnt evil lmao!

The scariest moment in my gaming history has been through Capcom’s Resident Evil for Gamecube. During the game a dog whistle is acquired and triggers the first crimson head rises from the dead. That was a situation scary enough to turn off my game and not continue for a few years. Once i grew the courage I found the game to be one of the best ever.

The scariest moment in my gaming history happened in Resident Evil on Gamecube. When u get out of the mansion and u go into an old cabin and after walking around for a bit, this really scary hunchback girl with her arms chained comes home. At first i thought u could kill her then, but you can’t so u just have to run. I dont know why this girl scared me so much she creeped the hell out of me. She appeared a few more times and each time i hated it.

Well this was back when I was ugh I think maybe 12, anyways it was the original Fatal Frame for the ps2, the whole game just scared the living daylights out of me due to the fact with the whole taking pictures of ghost and thinking my own house was haunted just made things twice as scarier. But now i can go through the whole game with ease!
