There are actually more games than that, especially if you're going to vote on each individual game for the series. I'll try to find a little time to sort them all out, like the Gabriel Knight, Zork, Resident Evil & Circle of Blood series, just to name a few. Also, there's a lot for the C64, Coleco, Intelivision and such that I need to look up because I can't remember the names. Here ya go, Vod:

Also, not to step on your toes, Vod, but I might suggest to the wonderful HDCers submitting suggestions that you compose your list as above, omitting comments afterwords so it's easier to copy and paste into a spreadsheet. If you can, also try to use full game titles.

I have a nice excel spreadsheet going :)

Im not slacking, just work was hell yesterday. i am not flaking out :)

D - now there's a game I havent heard about in years...remember playing it about 7-8 years back...I got stuck in the stage where the armored knight walks over and trips the girl into the pit...back to the beginning again...it used to be so frustrating...till I noticed the little arrow pointing to one side just before the knight struck...and presto, moving on!:D ...A tad slow but nevertheless an excellent, excellent game.

Reminds me of two others on the PS :-

Dracula: Resurrection
Dracula 2: Last Sanctuary

Nice combo of atmosphere in a game if ever there was one. Frustrating to solve the puzzles too.

The STE 02-19-2007 08:31 PM

Realms of the Haunting.
http://www.realmsofthehaunting.com/

One of my favorite games. I'd probably still play it (often partially covering my eyes) now and then if I hadn't loaned it to a friend who subsequently lost (or, possibly, "lost") it.

Despare 03-02-2007 06:50 PM

No one mentioned Condemened. :eek:

Doc Faustus 02-27-2008 06:43 AM

There was a great DOS game called Veil of Darkness that revolved around hunting a vampire. Sid Meier's Darklands created a bleak medieval world with lots of horror elements and a harsh reality that pissed off many a power gamer. Baldur's Gate 2 has several moments of horror and a strong horror plot at its core. As for pencil and paper roleplaying games Deadlands features a dark, steampunk wildwest.

Zombigal75 02-29-2008 06:17 PM

I have a few to add...they may have been said but I havent read all the posts

Nightmare board game
Phamtasmagoria video game
Atmosphere board game

Despare 09-02-2008 10:56 PM

Posher778 09-03-2008 04:10 AM

Why does it have to be just horror?Booooooo

Ooooh how nifty. I just saw this here with the umping and what not... and whiel I am not really sure how these lest-ey things work here (I will research it around when I get some time) I'd be pleased to help out ehre. I think there are som fantastic suggestions and some which are just too thin on horrific elements to truly fit, as well as some pretty surprising omissions from my POV.

I am actually gonna have quite a bit of time on my hands at the end of the week, and I'd love to help this get cleaned up.

neverending 10-21-2008 07:33 PM

When I saw the title of this thread I actually thought it was going to be about gamins... silly me.

_____V_____ 12-02-2009 08:19 PM

I think I'll nominate The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Some of that game is pretty damn eerie and managed to give me a big fat, family-size case of the creeps.

_____V_____ 12-07-2009 07:57 AM

Noted.

Any others?

Doc Faustus 12-07-2009 01:11 PM

Since it stars a horror icon, I would say the Godzilla NES game would be valid as would future games featuring the character.

missmacabre 12-07-2009 01:33 PM

I'll second Arkham Horror. Played it a few weeks back, good times fightin' the old gods with tommy guns.

I was working at a agming Con a few months back and saw it for sale - not played it in years..I should have bought it - there's lots of expansions too it seems.

This project has been on the burners for such a long time, it's a shame we haven't sat down together to nail the Top 100 yet.

Looking back through the thread and adding all the later suggestions, we have a final master/massive list of 251 recommendations (taking out the duplicates and fine-proofing the entries).

What I want from all of you, is to send me a list of your chosen Top 20 games from this list which, in your opinion, is a must-play game for you.

As always, more recs are always welcome. (Since we had a long gap from the last post above, maybe we are missing out on some quality games which you might have happened to chance by in the meanwhile)

Let's do this and finalise the 100. It's been a long time coming and it deserves it's place in HDC's Stickied threads.

I am finalising my 20 from the above right now.

TheWickerFan 06-04-2011 12:59 AM

I'll have to enlist the help of my children.:o

_____V_____ 06-04-2011 01:46 AM

Good. We can use all the help we can get, WF. :)

Looking through the list, I think we forgot some good ones -

Scratches (really fantastic atmospheric horror)
Black Mirror
Sanitarium (I loved this!)
Amber: Journeys Beyond (top horror gameplay, if there ever was one)


Some new ones -

Resident Evil 5
Bioshock 2
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. : Shadow of Chernobyl
Penumbra: Black Plague


...off the top of my head. Adding them to the master list above.

TheWickerFan 06-04-2011 02:06 AM

I'm sure you're going to get bombarded with games that have been released since December 2009 that should make the list.

Red Dead Redemption immediately springs to mind.

Fearonsarms 06-04-2011 07:38 AM

Can't believe no one mentioned Night Trap for the Mega CD first game were you where a serial killer setting traps for the victims.

Also
Tales Of Phantasia
Sword Of Vermillion
Shining Force 2 (my fave horror game of all time)
Shining Force 3
Shining In The Darkness
Galahad
Secrets Of Mana

_____V_____ 06-04-2011 07:56 AM

Added, plus some more which I remembered earlier.

Total recs stand boosted to 251. Keep them coming!

swiss tony 06-04-2011 08:09 AM

Without reading the entire thread, are PC games being considered? If so, World of Warcraft and the Total War series are landmark games. If not, apologies for my laziness!:)

Fearonsarms 06-04-2011 08:16 AM

As far as I know games from any format are to be included

TheWickerFan 06-04-2011 08:17 AM

I talked to my son, and he picked his 20 from the list. He had plenty of recommendations, but I wasn't 100% sure if the games had to be horror related. Let me know, and I'll get his recs down.

Anyway, his top 20:

Earthbound
Doom 3
Left 4 Dead
Left 4 Dead 2
Mortal Kombat
Grim Fandango
God Of War
Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Bioshock
Gears Of War
Ghouls And Ghosts
Jade Empire
Half Life
F.E.A.R.
Ms. Pac-Man
Final Fantasy VII
Arkham Horror
Morrowind
