my childhood freaky game experience was endless ocean for the wii. its a marine biology game that encourages open ocean exploration. everything was going good until there was a quest to take a man on a scuba diving excursion. i decided to take him to a cool underwater cave-ish area but all of the sudden the calm music cut out and i got alerted that the man had lost me and i had to find him. i got so scared, i was worried that if i didnt find him he would drown and die, but the atmosphere was absolutely horrifying to child me that i ran to my dad crying and begged him to turn to turn the wii off bc i was too scared to go back into the living room and confront endless ocean
oh my god my scariest experience was ALSO endless ocean 1 except for me it was because i dove in the abyss for the first and the song that plays for that area has like, a lull in the middle, and when it comes back it comes back LOUD, so i thought the music was over and at that exact moment a sperm whale emerged from the gloom at the same time the music came back and i remember screaming and throwing myself over the back of the couch ! i made a friend come over and play the rest of the level while i hid. i still do not like sperm whales to this day as a result.
OH MY GOD. endless ocean was so fucking scary sometimes. I remember in the story mode I like went up for air in the underwater castle and I couldnt figure out how to continue the mission so I was like getting lost in the castle being all sad
holy shit i was also terrified of that game as a kid. for some reason i never actually figured out how to move around i just let it take me where it would but this meant i never surfaced for air so i would just lose when i ran out. that was scary to me because no matter how hard i tried my scuba guy would inevitably drown and i would get sent to the boat again and i thought each time that happened they had to get a new ocean researcher. like there was an endless line of them to replace the ones i kept killing
as a kid I was really scared of the Diddy Kong racing hubworld on the N64, mainly because I couldn't figure out how to play the game properly so I was stuck flying around as banjo for hours trying to figure out what to do and how to get to the racing parts of the game, and after a few months i started to think the pig face on one of the walls was gonna kill me if I kept playing the game so I just dropped it one day and never played it again
@@wotruannwah5678 honestly he kinda scared me too, because he was like the only other creature in the hubworld that could talk and I couldn't even understand him because i couldn't read. so he was kinda just like, a helpless presence to me, and that was very off-putting to my child brain
When i was a kid and we got an xbox with kinect and the camera started moving on its own to calibrate itself i started almost crying begging my parents to take it back to best buy because it was so terrifying to me
as a young child i had this horrid shovelware ds game about animals and the gameplay mostly had to do with knowing about habitats. but randomly, about every 30 mins, the screen would flash red and it would go ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ANIMAL ALERT. ANIMAL ALERT! and you had to put misplaced animals back. but the unpredictability and severity of it terrified me. every time i played the game i was shaking with anticipation
honestly the dead silent disk read error is still scary as fuck. i hated error sounds (windows 7 errors put the fear of death in me as a kid) but even to this day silent error screens make me break into a cold sweat
As a kid I vaguely remember a Suite Life of Zack and Cody AMV that had Gummy Bear playing over it and for some reason it creeped me out and unless I can find that video, the reason why it scared me will be lost to time.
Killer7 completely obliterated me as a kid. Invisible laughing enemies made up of abstract colors that get increasingly grotesque. Also the game over. Oh god no
A part in a game that scared me when I was younger was in the first Professor Layton game, where in a cutscene at night Professor Layton and his assistant Luke watch a man get kidnapped. It was basically a jumpscare honestly
im late but there are four distinct childhood scary game experiences i have which you may like to know of 1) the colours inverting on simpsons cartoon studio 2) the splash screen of the kid staring at you with his tongue stuck out in theme park world 3) a shareware game called hunchback '96 having an all caps title screen at an intimidating angle. is hilarious to me now because that screen just says "HUNCH". 4) bad toys 3d, a shareware wolf3d clone with no music and laughing constantly smiling enemies that you frequently hear but dont see. was the star of its own nightmare once where the computer kept turning itself on after i ran it, only for it to go to the "safe to turn off your computer" screen before counting down to 0 and exploding
It's absolutely wild to me to see scorpy having not known about some of these and just completely disregarding them, just skipping through the videos like "yeah, sure, whatever, not scary"
when i was younger and found out about the Golden Eye 007 cartridge tilt glitch and Geddan, i was unable go fall asleep that night because everything i thought about uncontrollably started doing the geddan and i would hear and see it so visibly in my head that i begged my parents the next day to take me to a doctor.
for me my childhood trauma (this is probably cliche but w/e) was the courage the cowardly dog episode where eustace finds an ancient tablet. "RETURN THE SLAB OR SUFFER MY CURSSEEEEE" i think it freaked me out so much because the mixture of 2d and 3d in animation was very surprising to me.
Mine was the episode with the cat motel and spiders as well as one where a fox tricks one of them to boil themselves for a stew. I was only ever able to watch like 3 episodes because of fear and the one you mentioned was one of them so I had good reason
Mine was the one scene with the blue thing that just says "you're not perfect..." in Courage's dream. That shit scared me so much EDIT: here's the link to the scene i'm talking about th-cam.com/video/GVKA-l0P34w/w-d-xo.html
I was scared of a level in the Toy Story 2 N64 game where you have to run around a construction yard or something. It’s dark and ominous and I remember being uneasy by it. You could also fall in wet concrete and it would slow you down. I still played the game but the level was so ominous.
When I was younger, I was unable to continue playing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the PS2 because I was too scared too sneak past the menagerie lady in like, the opening, because if she spotted you all the weird fucked up creatures scream at you and she's yelling and chasing you and I was like, 5
I cant imagine a pet or pokemon dying in a game i was playing as a kid and then my character going to a christian church and having a funeral for them with the npcs that would be crazy
Scorpy not knowing what lavender town is is crazyyyy. fascinating to view the world through someone who didnt walk around the house turning every light on after experiencing it
i was afraid of the burrowing snagret from pikmin 1. they ate so many of the innocent pikmin so fast and the way they came up out of the ground was creepy.
I remember I used to be TERRIFIED by one of the 2d Legend of Zelda parts, I think it was Link's Awakening? Where the hands either dropped down on you or came up from the floor. My dad and sister had to play those parts for me because I was way too scared. It was the same with the Ocarina of Time part with the drop down hands too. I was also TERRIFIED by Glover. ...And typing this out just made me realize that I might have just had issues with hands in video games.
YES!! ive been waiting for this vod!! thaank you scuppy edit: last level of Dog's Life, the pound one where you free all the dogs, scared the piss outta me as a kiddo. also, the billboard of the lady turning into a skeleton in einhander
Scorpy saying he wouldn't be scared of lavender town and ignoring all the text is making me laugh so hard. The text is what spooked me as a kid, tho i only saw it through no-commentary letsplays. (I'm not a fuckin' dinosaur lol) Girl literally says she can see a white hand on your shoulder, as a kid i'd die of fright What was he thinking?!?!
For me personally, all the fright of lavender town came from the "spooky" creepypasta about kids suffering brain damage from the song. It probably would have been the same experience if i actually saw the text.
@@Citrusautomaton that played a big part for me too. I thought i would get exploded if i listened to it for too long... for some reason i still listened to it regularly. Also i liked to listen to game OSTs as a kid and the lavender town vid i watched had a picture of jigglypuff with bleeding red eyes and a static overlay and it made me shit my pants twice. (No joke.) Now it just looks funny to mw cuz of how overdone the bleeding hyperrealistic eyes trope is lmao
I had LoZ Phantom Hourglass on DS when I was a kid and I loved goin around in the boat and seeing the cool DS shaped island and all that, but at some point in the game to progress you have to go into a dungeon or temple or something, which is full of darknuts (I think?? The big knight armor guys) and I was so scared of even going near those guys that I legit could not go any further into the room they appear in than the literal entrance area so I would never progress past that
did anyone else play "disneys magical mirror starring mickey mouse"? that game was all about being scary for a little kid but the thing that got me the most was the room where you shrink and fly in a toy plane and a rubber duck (now giant compared to you) starts floating and chases after you. look it up if youre interested it seriously scared me so badly
why did the superlarge ape (aka 'donkey kong') cross the road? > to eat a banana on the other side > to cause a rampage on the other side > a void event is in progress, please try again later
the fish from bugdom scared me and the snake from bugdom 2. also the bugdom fire ants had scary faces, but specifically the fire ants in level 9 that would turn into unkillable ghosts when you killed them and chased you were terrifying
Aww man, when I first played Spyro 1 when it came out, I was scared of the yellow beasts in Alpine Ridge, the spiders in High Caves, and I refused to enter Misty Bog because of the dragon eating trees
The boss fights and game over screen from Metroid Prime fucked me up as an 8yo, took me like 9 years before I could muster up the courage to play that game again, it just felt so realistic at its time I'd never seen a game that looked that "real" before
As a kid I was terrified by a game called Table Aliens which was a math game... It started with your character being abducted from their bed in the dark and I was so afraid.. And (weirdly) the Cyan Worlds logo from before playing MYST.. The sound was so jarring.
had to leave the stream during the lavender town part, idk why but that song scares me so much i just feel like something terrible is gonna happen like my head is gonna explode or something
I had a cars movie video game when I was a kid and there was one level, and idk why but the way the music sounded in that section was so unnerving it was the soundtrack to some of my childhood nightmares, it wasn't even purposefully scary music, I think the speaker was broken on my device so it sounded terrifying. I never did get past that level either.
For me, most of the scary things in games were just noises. Maybe that's a autism spectrum thing, but it was usually eerie music or sound effects. That's probably why Lavender Town got me.
i was scared a lot as a kid and tween because i'm a little anxious coward, but lavender town got to me really bad to the point of nightmares. not from playing the game, but by obsessively reading all the creepypasta i could get my little hands on. one thing that also got to me as a tween was slenderman. he's basically just a meme now, but back then content for him was popping off like crazy. long story short, i ended up hallucinating him for a few months and having a panic attack on halloween when i was 13 because i saw him. it's funny now, but back then i was pee my pants level of terrified by this faceless dude.

Hopping onto the “creepypasta memory that was genuinely horrifying but funny in retrospect” wagon, i was so scared of jeff the killer in sixth grade that i spent months sleeping w my head tucked under the covers bc i thought that would protect me. Bc the comforter and blankets were heavy i had to breathe thru my mouth, and now i cant breathe thru my nose properly lmao. Also was scared of the joker bc his smile reminded me of jeff the killer too much 😭 i vividly remember going to a campsite and being so scared that i was gonna see slenderman pop out of the woods too
the game over/continue sequence in the snes speedy gonzales game was too fucking scary for me. i couldn't play it because i was too afraid to fail and see the continue screen again. also the dino in the stomping plains sounds like the blinded ganado with the metal claws from re4
The only scary video game moments I remember are from Minecraft. Like cave sounds, but mostly the fear of herobrine existing somewhere in my world stalking me or burning my house
Space Channel 5 is one of the first games I remember growing up, and still one of my favorites. I was like Scorpy in that I was spooked by scale in game. There are a lot of very large bosses with very stilted animations that really wigged me out. The first boss that had kidnapped schoolchildren (it had the cheerful Morolian voiceover and the boss theme would go from waltzy to edm with a haunting chorus between phases) and Blank's brainwashing TV (his voice creeped me out) stand out as two that are still eerie to me. That entire game has weird vibes. I love it Also, I would play Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town all the time, and one time I accidentally killed one of my chicks. I didn't know the ENTIRE TOWN would call me into the church to berate me for abusing animals. I sobbed so hard and ran to my mom. Really messed up thing to put in a kid's game.
yeah harvest moon characters seem kinda toxic. they berate you and eventually start giving you the silent treatment for using golden fences, which if they were just cosmetic and didn't do anything then that'd be fair, but they literally never break. Why the hell should I get punished for not wanting my crops to be eaten by wild animals???
this comment is good but maybe instead you should have replaced the words you wrote there aBout something like maybe donkeyknog racing or perhaps super Mario sunshine thank you thank you!!!
I love that the only part about lavender town that gets him is that it's purple

And also the lego star wars on the ds kaminoans almost made me quit the game i would never play that level again until i absolutely had to
me with that xbox camera thing. the kinect! it was horrible and scared me. still played with it tho
AH and also lego rock raiders on the ps1 in general always made me feel really really unsettled but also most ps1 games did that to me
