Scary Games Poll

...absolutely wonderful job you guys....I just loved the sound effects and the dripping blood...too cool.

Happy Gamer

Absolutely AWESOME!

Wow, looks awesome! Good job, mac and Bob. Thanks!

I love it.....you did a great job.......and i totally agree with the poll...most of my favs are on there.

....isn't it fun to be scared???

As a dyed in the wool Horror fan....

Mack and Bob, I take my hat off to you!!!

Wonderful presentation, games featured are totally on the numbers!! I was ill when the nominations went up, but I would have agreed with the selections 100%. Amber has that je ne sais quoi which puts it as number one, DF is just soo spooky if you play it with the lights out.. Phant scared the pants off me but I didn't like the timed bit at the end.. I have never played shivers as my copy is corrupt apparently..(willn post in glitches bit later) I played Blackstone and first time I loved it, second time it freaked me out.

I remember reading about DF and asking if it was like the old Hammer films, well it is!! As is Amber..walk round a corner then BOO!!

Fine job Mac and Bob boooo...the dripping blood is icky/scary but I love the review links. Thanks for the work and effort, it paid off so well.

Good Job you guy's,
I like the blood.

A few of favorites are there, so I know my vote counted and I dont live in Flordia HAHAHa

Josie:)

Great stuff ! My daughter screamed ! And to think we haven't played ANY of them YET !

. . . . Hope you're jealous ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" />

It's the only advantage of being inexperienced 'scary-adventurers' I can think of. We've got them all to play !!

Gelert -

Why in the world your daughter scream about our poll?????

Not the poll silly ! The witch's laugh did it. Neither of us expected that ! And to think I'm a grownup too ! We'll have no hope surviving Dark Fall and Amber !! <img border="0" alt="[winky]" title="" src="graemlins/winky.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[winky]" title="" src="graemlins/winky.gif" />

Cool! And the sound effects sent me in raptures!

Question though; Frankenstein, was listed under Action-Adventure? I played it, but never finished it completely, so I might have missed something... unless it's an entirely different than the Tim Curry-title I'm thinking of?

What an absolutely wonderful job! And that blood and scary music!! What more can anyone ask for, with links to reviews, also.
Thanks a lot, guys!

Gelert, mine too. My boys came running across the room to see where the spooky sound was coming from.

That was great, it caught the eyes and ears of my younge ones and mine as well.

Great Job guys, you caught our attention.

Liz

WOW is the word!!

That looks great Bob and Mackie, I love the sound effects and bloody presentation. Great job on the links as well. What a great list and resource.

Laura

Great work, mac and Bob.

Now I'll have to go out and find some of them. Just bought Realms of the Haunting, and I'm glad I did.

Great job with the poll, but I have to agree with Emma - Frankenstein, Through the Eyes of the Monster is, IMO, a true adventure game. There are a couple of very minor timed sequences, but nothing that I would call "action". A great game, BTW!

I just wanted to add one more item to our list of scary games, out there. That number one scary game is...........(drumroll please!!!!) -

THE SCROLL!!!!!!!

Please refer to Syd, our lovely moderator for further questions or details on the game!

I heard the truly terrifying thing was Syd playing the Scroll I heard rumors to the effect that the family just dropped dinner from a stick in the room and fled while the fleeing was good - while she battled this game

Laura *Who hopes Syd doesn't read this and lock Laura back in room 13 at Syd's home for nervous gamers*

Ah ha ! **** 'The Scroll' ! ****

At last somebody else who thinks this is a fabulous game ! It has to be one of the finest games ever produced for the dedicated adventure gamer. <img border="0" alt="[kiss]" title="" src="graemlins/kiss.gif" />

What with its clean and supremely refined graphics and its oh so simple, user-friendly game design - the action icons are a pure dream to behold. Never before have I ever come across such a straightforward, easy-to-use interface.

The choice of contemporary music is breathtaking and the animation of the characters during speech sets standards never before achieved in any labour of love that is an adventure game. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" />

What's more, this favourite of all 'true' gamers runs in DOS - Yes . . DOS ! What inspired genius I hear you squeal ! This means that the player need not bother with that excruciatingly irritating procedure of 'slip it in and watch it load'. How very tedious that can be !

No, with this game you can just pop it in your drive and sit back, relax for an hour or two, hang out your annual washing, or even knock together a four-course supper for five and still have time to write that novella you thought you'd never get around to, all confident in the knowledge that when you return to your keyboard you will not have missed a single moment of the rapturous plot contained within 'THE SCROLL'. <img border="0" alt="[winky]" title="" src="graemlins/winky.gif" />

Wonderful, boys! ...just wonderful. <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> ...brought a tear to my eye....and a lump to my throat.
...especially the witches cackle.
Inferno

Hey, Inferno! I hope you're not upset by the fact that Dark Fall made number two behind Amber!

so...? *ahem* Frankenstein...?

Emma -

I don't feel like sifting through all the entries again. Unless.......you can come up with an entry that's worthy of the Frankenstein replacement and the other GB'ers agree with you. Of course, I'm gonna put the game in last place since it was suggested last!

Syd -

What do you have to say about this poll summary? You've been awfully quiet lately. Also, have you been expanding your funny farm? Gatorlaw has now mentioned the fact that you have a place for nervous gamers? 'Cause, that's definitely me!

errrr....? I was merely wondering if Frankenstein was the Tim Curry adventure, and if so, why is it posted under Action-Adventure...? *confused* I have no desire to alter your list.

Must be because of the rock crushing and the way it made Gamers jump and run around their PC tearing their hair out. I got a lot of action out of that part of the game

Personally for an action adventure - I think Nocturne should have made the list but maybe not many people have played it here...

Laura

Laura -

Cheer up about Nocturne. I'm sure that there are plenty of people who have played it over at the RPG's forum!

great job...and Mack you really earned that BIG paycheck.

Karen

What a great job! I love the sound effects and the dripping blood.

Forever Amber!

Fantastic job!! You should have seen my cat jump when that voice said, "Welcome".

Jean

JMK -

I certainly hope that your cat is okay after that little scare!

I also hope that you're enjoying Shivers! It's a good one!

Hi Mac:

My cat has recovered!

I haven't done anything with Shivers yet past the first puzzle or two outside. I got caught up in Zanzarah. I'm hoping to get to it by this weekend, though. It sounds like a great game!

Jean

Great job, Mac and Bob! Thanks! I have to say I'm surprised Inherent Evil didn't make the list.
