The creepiest old-school video games

Growing up, a lot of us had our video game systems connected to the TV in the basement. This was usually a fantastic setup, as we could turn our volume loud and yell at each other even louder. Mom would just shut the door, and she wouldn’t have to hear us scream about blue shells and final bosses.

However, there were a few select games that playing in the basement was slightly unsettling. You wouldn’t want to play them at night, nor with the lights out. You might ask one of your siblings to watch, or at least read at book in the same room.

Let’s be honest—there’s just something about 1990s graphics that even the highest resolution, newest games cannot replicate the eeriness of.

Ahh, those spooky memories. We’ve all grown up, and learned that the scariest things in life aren’t in books, movies, or video games. They’re in the form of taxes, insurance deductibles, and global warming.
