Not even Eternal Darkness? And that game was EXPECTED to be scary. The games you mentioned were for kids, yet all that horrible stuff was slipped in.

Not even Eternal Darkness, though that deserves honorable mention for its sanity effects. Yeah, it's a rated M game, but it did some stuff that could be included in a game of any rating and still scare the shit out of any gamer like

Spoiler!
suddenly display a blue screen of death, or tell a player that their saves were deleted, just to fuck with them.

But yeah Earthbound's ending is very WTF. It not so much terrifying as it is deeply unsettling. Earthbound is already a game filled to the brim with weirdness but the ending blows the rest of the game out of the water in that respect.
