Evolution of Horror Games 1982-2019

[@LegoMonthMan]

“Run, He is right behind you.” For technically one of the first horror games, thats pretty unnerving.

[@ok1025]

Thats slenderman but opposite

[@kpro_1188]

Tbh it was kinda unsettling-

[@prestigedank0373]

Exactly. I think that pixelated horror games just have a certain unnerving and even more scarier effect than a realistic environment with sharp looking mobs. There's nothing scarier than a blurry figure in a low fps, and low graphical quality horror game.

[@callmeciara4232]

*Rex has seen you*

[@vicrattlehead5614]

Not to mention the fact that Rex is one of the most creepy sprites I have seen in a while.

[@welcometochilischilis3666]

The first game is actually scary on all aspects The lack of details and imagination played big part on the atmosphere The texts are on point for being unnerving

[@macasmumificadas4380]

​@Text wtf?

[@thirdcoinedge]

It's amazing what minimalistic horror can do, especially when having that little element of reality that makes it all the more unnerving. It's like Pac-Man, but you're not running from ghosts, and we know what a T. Rex does to its prey...

[@JustAPersonWhoComments]

Fun fact about 3D Monster Maze: Animated in real time at 6-frames-a-second, Evans built a random maze generator, assuring that players would never learn the path. Somewhere within the randomly generated maze is the monster - a massive 8×8 pixel black and white Tyrannosaurus Rex - looking to eat the player up! As the player moves through the maze, the T-Rex becomes calmer or more excited depending on how close you are to it. On the screen, as you move about, come updates to help you get an idea of where the T-Rex is… REX LIES IN WAIT HE IS HUNTING FOR YOU FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING REX HAS SEEN YOU RUN HE IS BESIDE YOU RUN HE IS BEHIND YOU There is no map of the maze - you have to draw it by hand if you want to try and keep track of where you’ve been or if you’re going in circles. The thing is, while you’re drawing your map, the T-Rex is hunting, and the longer you’re in the maze, the faster the T-Rex gets!

The scariest thing is realizing that 2019 was 6 years ago. I looked at the title and saw that the video was 6 years old and though, how could it be up to 2019 when the video was posted 6 years ago.

[@XDon_LemonX]

[@krokodilpil8335]

Old game graphics was like reading a book. They just explained enough for your imagination to fill in the horror gaps, so you emotionally internalised it.

[@xevino833]

yes and the more minimal it goes the scarier it gets so thats why the first game was so terrifying.

[@imperiodobrasilball8395]

THAT'S RIGHT! You're right, I got that feeling when I watch these horror games with old graphics and that's exactly why they're scary.

[@krokodilpil8335]

@@mephistopheles089 I don't have any specific horror books. More a sci-fi, fantasy enjoyer. But horror would be different from person to person. Videos on KZbin that freak me out are Analog Horror and AI Videos (Put earphones on and search for "Joe Biden and Trump Eating Spaghetti, but it's an AI generated nightmare".
