bits in games that made you go :eek:

[creak]

The first underground section in STALKER, I crawled through that entire section twitching at every sound and screamed like a little girl when the blood sucker jumped me.

Ditto

Also first time I used iron sights, in Call of Duty 1. Seems like a small thing now, but blew my tiny mind back then.

 

[MooChild]

Playing F.E.A.R, when you climb up the ladder and the freaky girl ghost thing is there.

 

[Barking_Mad]

Alien based on the original Doom engine.

Scary.as.fuck.

 

[kyser_soze]

"Elf, your life force is running out"

'Warrior needs food badly!'

'Who shot the food?!'

'Valkyrie is about to die'

I'd love to know how much a gauntlet board would cost and if I could pluf it into my telly at home...

 

[The Groke]

there was one bit of the original resident evil that made me scream out loud.

but i can't remember what it was now

Dogs crashing through a window?

See my screenshot above...

 

[The Groke]

Wizard needs food badly.

 

[Barking_Mad]

'Warrior needs food badly!'

'Who shot the food?!'

'Valkyrie is about to die'

My brother paid £250 for the original 4 player arcade cabinet.

 

[tommers]

the licker in resi evil 2.

lords of midnight. "THAT is like a cartoon!"

Star Wars arcade machine.

 

[ruffneck23]

also the giant crock in the sewer in RE2.

in fact most of RE2 was fantastic

 

[Ranbay]

Parking up outside the clubs we attended the night before on that-PS-game-that-had-mapped-out-streets-of-london-on-whose-name-I-can't-remember.

Undoubtably the inspiration for google street view!

the getaway

 

[tommers]

the getaway

terrible game.

 

[Callum91]

The underwater levels in Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. I still have nightmares about them to this day

 

[Psychonaut]

have none of you played tombraider in the 90s?

the T-REX!!

the quargoids (?) or whatever they were called in Elite were awesome for their time.

thargoids.

 

[kyser_soze]

My brother paid £250 for the original 4 player arcade cabinet.

The bastard. Where's he live

 

[Orang Utan]

the chainsaws in resident evil iv - just the sound of them shit me up

 

[Barking_Mad]

thargoids.

Nothing worse than being chased by thargoids and hearing that screaching laser noise across your ships bow.

DIVE DIVE DIVE!

 

[Barking_Mad]

Being chased by other players back to your base whilst trying to capture the flag in Quakeworld.

 

[Barking_Mad]

Running down the snow mountain in Strider. At the time it was pretty sweet. I even found the video on youtube. Jump to 4:15 to see.

 

[agricola]

The defence of the old Fort during the desert bit of Hidden and Dangerous 2, and also any severe storm encountered in Silent Hunter 4.

 

[Barking_Mad]

The bastard. Where's he live

hehe, we played it for a good week when he got it, but sadly it's not been used much since....the novelty soon wore off!

 

[ruffneck23]

put it in 'recycle your stuff'

 

[Orangesanlemons]

Seeing the t-rex appear for the first time in 3D Monster Maze on the ZX81. Truly terrifying back in the day.

 

[not-bono-ever]

I actually burst out laughing when I heard the in game radio ad for Pisswasser strong german lager on GTA4

 

[adsr]

The bit when you leave the first sewers in Oblivion.

That fat sumo boss in Second Samurai 2 on the Amiga. Freaked me the fuck out.

That sound sensitive tentacle monster thing in the first Half Life.

 

[AverageJoe]

Right at the beginning of Doom 3 when you start talking to the scientist and the lights go out and he goes all 'demony'

 

[Stigmata]

The bit in one of the Oblivion expansions when you're in a gloomy room and then the walls sort of transform into a cloud of butterflies and fly away, leaving you in this bizarre alien landscape.

The first time you fight a Super Mutant Behemoth in Fallout 3, and you have the nuke launcher and the Brotherhood of Steel backing you up.

The bit towards the end of Freelancer when you're fighting the aliens inside a goddamn Dyson Sphere.

The bit in Freespace 2 when you first encounter one of those 5km alien ships, but it's in a nebula so you don't see it until you're almost on top of it.

The bit in Vampire: Bloodlines when you're being chased through the observatory by a werewolf that you never see, because if you stop running long enough to turn around and have a look you're dead meat. You'll just hear it snarling and you'll run through a door only to hear it smash through the wall behind you a fraction of a second later. Really shits me up.

 

[bhamgeezer]

The bit where the first licker goes past the window in the police station in resident evil is mine.

 

[Silva]

So, there I was inflitrating the jungle in Metal Gear Solid 3, when a guard suddenly notices someone was moving in the bushes. I instinctively jump forward to another bush, and once the camera moves to first person, there it was, a snake ready to attack me

 

[revol68]

The bit where the first licker goes past the window in the police station in resident evil is mine.

Yep brilliant moment.

What about the opening sequence on Starwing (Starfox) on the SNES?

Metal Gear Solid when you have to switch controller ports to beat the physic gimp.

Final Fanstasy VII , pretty much all of it but when you first use summons.

Halflife, the intro and also when you first encounter the Marines, the AI was amazing.

Halflife 2, the prison level and when you first get the gravity gun.

Call of Duty 1, the Bridge Too Far level and also the start of the Stalingrad mission where Stukas are strafing your boat.

Stalker, the first underground lab, that was terrifying.
