GI writes: It is Halloween season once more, giving everyone a justifiable excuse to get scared. For gamers this should not at all pose any problem. There are a barrage of games that can help you get your October dose of interactive fright and can help set a ghoulish mood for this spooky time of year. It can be quite a chore to pick out the best games that do this. To help you narrow that search, here is a game that successfully scares the gamer and an explanation of why it is so terrifying to play.
It's time to get weird. We've rounded up some of the most bizarre DOS games out there.
Point-and-click adventure games were a staple of the early-to-mid 90s PC gaming scene, with some of the more memorable ones being in the horror genre.
Pam/Cannot Be Tamed of Gaming Rebellion takes a look at Sierra’s best-selling FMV point and click horror game, Phantasmagoria. Is the controversy it caused warranted? Is the FMV acting amazingly terrible? Is it even fun to play? Watch to find out.
I own this game. I thought it was going to be a great game along the lines of a 7th Guest or 11th Hour. Personally I don't share the author's enthusiasm with the game. While fine for a point and click adventure, I just felt the acting was atrocious and the game not nearly spooky enough. To each their own though.
