Cussan Channel Description:
We’re lifelong video game enthusiasts with a passion for showing the world how our favorite hobby has grown with us, from individual series to industry-wide retrospectives.
We put significant time and creative effort into each one of our videos, including research, digging into archives, recording voiceovers, and editing. Every video takes as many as 10 hours to produce, because we strive to give our fans consistent, high-quality content.
Our popular “Evolution of...” series goes far beyond simply presenting gameplay footage. We take the time to show how a video game property - its gameplay, character designs, graphics, sound direction, etc. - have evolved over time. We include unique voiceover work on each video to enhance the viewing experience.
People have been playing video games for decades. In that time, we’ve gone from moving a white line up and down to block a moving pixel, to participating in full-fledged, painstakingly rendered real-time battles with people all over the world. We help older gamers look back on how these experiences have changed throughout their lives, and new gamers to understand the broader context of the series they’re playing for the first time today.
The video game medium never stops growing, and we’ll never stop chronicling its evolution.
Recording, Editing, and voice over were made by me. - เกม

“Run, He is right behind you.”
For technically one of the first horror games, thats pretty unnerving.
Thats slenderman but opposite
Tbh it was kinda unsettling-
Exactly. I think that pixelated horror games just have a certain unnerving and even more scarier effect than a realistic environment with sharp looking mobs. There's nothing scarier than a blurry figure in a low fps, and low graphical quality horror game.
*Rex has seen you*
Not to mention the fact that Rex is one of the most creepy sprites I have seen in a while.
Jennifer: Ann!
Ann: h..hel..help
Jennifer: Ann!
Ann: he..help
Jennifer: Ann!!
Ann: *_JUST PULL ME UP GOD DAMNIT_*
Ikr
Are people in horror games/movies this dumb nowadays? I mean yes, she didnt help her because if she tried she wouldve died too, but god.
Ann: you know what!? I don’t care if I live anyways
Jenifer: AAAAAAAAAANN!!
Annie are you okay are you okay Annie?
hahaha
The first game is actually scary on all aspects
The lack of details and imagination played big part on the atmosphere
The texts are on point for being unnerving
@Text wtf?
It's amazing what minimalistic horror can do, especially when having that little element of reality that makes it all the more unnerving. It's like Pac-Man, but you're not running from ghosts, and we know what a T. Rex does to its prey...
He is behind you R U N
Amazing how well 2008 Dead Space still looks compared to today's games. Still a great game.
good art direction will do that.
Any prefer the original over the remake?
Silent hill 2 and 3 also look amazing, especially 3
Ann: HELP...IM...DROWNING
Jeniffer: *staring into the void*
*best friend ever*
@@bengalibahicbirseyi1080 true😔👌

“ANN!” **continues to stare**
"Ann... Glub Glub Glub..."
*Staring*
Ann: Jennifer help me
Jennifer: imma just stand here a bit
LOL
Jennifer: Well that problem solved itself (Ann drowns)
Very funny
glub glub glub
just like 'ol day when ppl dont have brain
Fun fact about 3D Monster Maze:
Animated in real time at 6-frames-a-second, Evans built a random maze generator, assuring that players would never learn the path. Somewhere within the randomly generated maze is the monster - a massive 8×8 pixel black and white Tyrannosaurus Rex - looking to eat the player up!
As the player moves through the maze, the T-Rex becomes calmer or more excited depending on how close you are to it. On the screen, as you move about, come updates to help you get an idea of where the T-Rex is…
REX LIES IN WAIT
HE IS HUNTING FOR YOU
FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING
REX HAS SEEN YOU
RUN HE IS BESIDE YOU
RUN HE IS BEHIND YOU
There is no map of the maze - you have to draw it by hand if you want to try and keep track of where you’ve been or if you’re going in circles. The thing is, while you’re drawing your map, the T-Rex is hunting, and the longer you’re in the maze, the faster the T-Rex gets!
I remember one time I was playing In the dead of night and my dad saw me and started up a conversation about him playing the 7th guest when he was a kid. I love how much horror games have improved.
2:30 Sees friend drowning, does nothing about it and just lets her die.
holy crap when did this comment blow up
the strange man should have killed her if she tried to help
Ikr
There was no saving tho
Scissors man was under her, most probably killing her using his long rusty scissors
If she tried, she probably would just get killed
F.R.I.E.N.D.S
Remember everybody when you see someone drowning don't panic yell their name and stand their and do nothing
0:43 *happy music*
0:50 *SCREAM*
0:52 *happy music continues*
ikr
I was so confused lol
Lmao
he wanna play in your mind to make you scared i think
LOL 😂🤣😂
Hahaha
Bro the transition from Outlast (2013) to P. T. (2014) was too perfect
Condemned and The Suffering are so underrated. Two of the best horror games I've ever played.
Fr, ive player the suffering since i can remember, my mom player it and when i could play on her laptop, ALWAYS THE SUFFERING, and Postal 2 :P
Run. He is behind you.
More frightning than the whole list
Sibartzy hell yeah he’s behind you. He supports you fully and knows you’re a good person.
Dm q alt account LOL true fact
True doee
Not to mention that the games graphics quality makes it more menacing.
Watched it in the middle of the night. Got it frightened harder than FNAF
Imagine you were walking through the woods irl and you saw “press shift to run” graffitied on a piece of board. Now that would be scary lol
Bruh you saw this from janitor bleeds my mark implied right?
Ah another Markiplier fan. All likes and replies are thanks to Markiplier for his wonderful thoughts.
Hello luke
@Shreyas Bhadury Hello there
@@uglygymrat6024 general kronos 's vassal
For me, Resident Evil was born to revolutionize horror games. quite a game :)
the pioneer of survival horror shooter games
Wish, had flashbacks of playing silent hill at 2am on a school night when I was 14. That game was exceptionally well designed. (Shivers down the spine)
I imagine people in the 80s 90s saying wow those graphics look like real life
People from that era ARE saying that, as are you. Kinda the point.
But they do
One day people will say the same of us.
Same and they would think of how scary it was
Real life was like that back then I remember my old dad with his disconnected polygons, low rez face and terrible dubbing. still better then his dad who was a big beeping square.
Jennifer: that was Ann!
Ann: Jenni...fer... Help!... glub...
Jennifer: *stand there and watches her friend drown*
Ann:.....
Jennifer: *keeps standing there and watching her friend drown*
Lmao
J4cK _S **Insert Friends Theme Here**
Ann: Could you please help me? JUST DO SOMETING, I'M FUCKING DIEING!
Jennifer: And to wet my clothes? Nah, i will just stand here.
Ann: I fucking hate you.
Jennifer: You won't be missed. Bye.
Lmao 😂 I was like , are you going to save her or?
Jaxon Garside That's how mafia works!
It's rather comforting to realize that horror has been represented in one form or another since practically the dawn of gaming.
The 1993's 7th guest's graphics was actually really good.
The most scary things in old games was the graphics. Everything could looked like a damn monster
the camera angles were a close second
No. The most scary thing is the bad controls.
Chilla's Art games. They are horror games but with PS1 graphics. Works really well and in their favour.
Yeah LOL, sooo true and along with poor controls and bad camera angle.
Silent hill was the shit
everyone gangsta till you see "Press Shift to run" in a horror game
Lol
Oh hell no
Or irl...
What if its not a Horoor game?
@@isakayyik966 OOOOO
The evolution of horror games is just amazing!
The 90s had some elite horror games. Resident evil, silent Hill, clock tower
0:07 “Run he is behind you.”
Why is that unsettling to read? Lol
Cuz it's a horror game
Plus it's just really unsettling when you feel something at the back but nobody is is there
@@lag00n54 i feel that all the time
@@jesuiscrespo,It feels so ghostly
I would run undress myself and let him catch me :P (Half of my nightmares are like that i guess i secretly fantasize to be raped by monster :(
because he’s behind you.
'rex has seen you'
*run* 'he is beside you'
*run* 'he is behind you'
that is actually very unsettling
Waxworks is a great game too, I play through it every now and then
Footsteps Approaching....That Is Uncomfortable
I thought so too.
Waxworks is not really a horror game though.
Blady02 well it kinda is cause it gives you panic and it is kinda ment to be a horror game
@@Blady02PL actually it kind of is. Elvira is less horror than WW and yet it featured in this video
Old video games give such this creepy and blank vibe it’s actually scarier then some new horror games
like fnaf they kept the old vhs style
Great video!
what i hate about clock tower is that jenni just stands there and and just screaming ANN!
while ann drowns
Ikr
So cringe
Yeah bruh
Yup very cringe and I’m like JENNIFER JUST GOD DAMN HELP HER
She’s so useless ngl
Is it weird that the first horror game seems to be one of the creepiest?
And the scariest.
thats basically stories untold
it seems glitched like it has a mind of its own.
Hm it doesnt look creepy for me bc its pixelated
It is weird, but it’s probably because behind those pixels reveal a really dark story
Something about the really old horror games is really insettling and I love it
The "Forbidden Forest" games on C64 are also worth a mention. Great atmosphere and had me clinging on to the joystick with sweaty hands.

Silent Hill series are the scariest games ever, it doesn't even need a jumpscare to scare the shit out of you.
Welp, Konami killed it and metal gear
*footsteps*
Me:AHH- oh it’s just mine
Yea, P.T. being just a demo is still the scariest fucking game ever.
But resident evil and dead space give it a good run for its money.
Outlast deserves kudos too
Loud Hill is still better
7:29: BEST F*CKING ELEVATOR EVER.
Thank you for adding resident evil 7 thank you so much
To be honest the only scary thing about older games is the terrifyingly bad audio quality.
Ikr, people even make badly pixilated horror games these days, it’s like a trend
@@zzz_phyr A lot of the time it's because they have no clue how to program and just use cruddy game makers.
Lol
That sounds about white
@@thefakepie1126 Wow, okay. I agree with you but don't you think that's a little too harsh, telling him to kill himself?
Everybody gangsta until "Rex has seen you"

3:59 Silent Hill (1999) PS1
Great video! There are not some great horror videogame series, like Siren and The Evil Within.
But yes, it’s a great list!
11:26 Not being able to jump through a window while being chased just gives off the highest amount of anxiety
Honestly and when you get stuck somewhere when the antagonist is right behind you and you just wanna throw your monitor is just the worst
That’s the worst! Especially, when you hear them right behind you.
Fr
You know what's up when it says "Game saved" on a horror game.
True

its amazing how everywhere horror games is so high quality even the mimic is so detailed
So the first ever "horror" game was about running from Barney? Sick.
well barney is kinda scary since he is always with children giving stranger danger and his look with only black and white would scare the shit outta me
@@sherlockisverytired3169 and when they say “Run, he is right behind you.” Is actually kinda unnerving
First of all Barney is purple and green second of all his name is rex
@@greysonmcmullen6014 the game is in black and white
@@sherlockisverytired3169 it ain’t scary if you have yo volume on
To be honest, that first horror game is properly terrifying even for today's standards.
It basically is better than silent hill.
@@kaitlynwhalen5961 no
Kaitlyn Whalen opinion
What if anime was made in the 1920s.
@@kaitlynwhalen5961 then Hitler would probably have become a weeb himself
Can we talk about during Halloween part, The background music to when you’re being chased just sounds amazing?
Was born in 2004 but loved the games from 1980's, 1990's and 1995. We still have them in a box somewhere
Used to play them everyday when I got home from daycare. Now it's a huge upgrade, and play on psn3 and 4

Its amazing how P.T was just a demo but managed to make history in the horror games scenario
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I’ve been playing horror games my entire life (almost all games from this list 90s forward) and nothing has come close to the scariness of P.T. It just hits you differently man. Lisa’s design is impecable.
