Obligatory. Though I don't remember being particularly bothered by him the first time round, he was just something to avoid.

>is that.... someone mentioning a part of a video game might be unnerving? I will post the spongebob pic!

This level FUCKED me up as a 12 year old

YABBA MY ICING

Twilight Princess

Welcome to the machine.

This whole level freaked me out as a kid. Didnt help that the visibility was 10x worse on a CRT.

Right? Thalassophobia deluxe: Game Edition. I too dreaded that part. Now it's not so bad, but the roars from that thing don't help matters.

Link looks like Jak from Jak n Daxter.

>>12006126
Not OP, but when I was 6 years old that robot head flying at me after Andross's face blew up freaked me the fuck out.

ONLY I HAVE THE BRAINS TO RULE LYLAT
NOOOOoooOOOOOooooOOOOoooOOOOOO!!!!

>>12006708
No one ever thought that scene was anything but hilarious. It’s like that kid who did the joker monologue in high school type of energy.

>>12007690
I always thought those scenes were Nintendo intentionally mocking the people who wanted "dark Zelda"

>>12006708
I was freaked out by Twilight Princess not because of that, but because I fucked up on the burning bridge and died unceremoniously before I realized what the fuck I was supposed to do.
Put the game down for a week when it happened because it was some bleak and depressing shit.

Look up the aragog boss fight in harry potter and the chamber of secrets for the ps1, i hate spiders and that model made my skin crawl as a child.

>>12006649
The 'ocean box' is just creepy. Watching a vid on the overload glitch used to kill him also creeps me out.

I screamed and covered my eyes when it started to move.

>>12006663
This threads are always the same shit. Nintendo babies over reacting to the tames shit.

>>12007804
Why don't you look it up and post it here, faggot?

>>12007971
The ones in Spyro 1 were worse.

>>12006649
Yeah I got major anxiety fighting emerald weapon. Also this, the ocean as a kid was so creepy >>12007876 I also got unnerved in shinra hq when you go to jail and wake up with the blood trail and the heart pumping creepy music. Also the whole mt. Nibel flashback scene is just unsettling, then sephiroth sets the town on fire, also when sephiroth rips jenova from her incubator and also when cloud loses his mind and he starts to realize the mako injections made him a mindless zombie that adopted his friend who died saving hims whole persona and he's been living a lie. Ffvii has great plot points for character development and as a preteen some of it was super intense. Even as an adult I enjoy the storyline. Also I was 6 when resident evil came out and my older brother scared the ever living fuck out of me with it. To the point I would wake up in the middle of the night screaming for God to save me from the zombies.

>he's staring at you at the cave entrance
>he's staring at you coming out of the Gelnika

When all I could see in it was the Neue Ziel, it didn't bother me a bit. When I realised it's laser ports are actually staring eyes, and it's a big screaming face floating around at the bottom of the sea, that bugged me out a little.

Those giant catfish in Ape Escape fucking sucked. I think there were points where you had to go near them as well to advance.

>>12006115 (OP)
Quazequetchol in Treasures of the Deep. Fucking upsetting. That and Melchior in SR

That creepy voice in the timed areas of Donkey Kong 64 that says "GET OUT."

Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2
The part when when you go into this massive water tank and you are totally enclosed and there are massive fish around you that will attack you. Something about that really got my heart pumping.

The cover art for Exhumed always creeped me out

The combination of camera control being taken away, my fear of whirlpools, and how quickly the fight begins when incidentally stumbling into one.

all of pen pen tricelon
fuck you thinktwink that game gives me anxiety

>>12006115 (OP)
Styrofoam head.

getting caught by these sick fucks and they'd look at the player fucked me up as a kid

Monster Ock in Spider-Man (2000).

>>12006115 (OP)
This room, and the sound they made. Also the voltigores from opposing force, I feel like I remember opposing force being more willing to drop you in pitch black rooms because of your night vision
>>12009575
Same kinda energy
>>12012242
Had to have my dad play for me whenever I got to this part, hated the sounds he made when he chased you
