I actually had about 3 that made me so frightened that I would run up to my room and hide under my blankets, and I did this till I was 10 or 11. they were... 1. Starfox 64 bad ending/andross face http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SKVQL1A0zI (skip to 6:40) 2. Mario Kart 64 4th place ending http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKTO0tavDxw 3. Super Mario 64 endless stairs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70J8SOX5w64 so what things in video games scared you as a kid? |
I actually share 1 and 3 with you. I also hated that huge ass eel with the menacing face on the water-themed level. That part where you had to get right in front of it to lure it out, then swim right up to its tail without touching it, or instant death... nightmare fuel.
And speaking of nightmare fuel, dat first time you encounter Andross in Starfox 64...
1. Flying down dark, isolated corridors all alone while a creepy old man taunts you. You feel as if you're being pulled along by a leash.
2. Suddenly fly into a pitch black room, and a brief second of silence...
3. A giant gorilla head appears right in front of you and cackles while you vigorously try to fly away from its mouth! Gives you a death stare the entire time.
The first time I saw this, I immediately turned the game off and didn't touch it for a couple of weeks. And it took me a two or three years to work up the balls to face Andross' true form on the hard path. :(
