Perhaps the earliest “scary” game of note is Sega's Killer Shark. Originally released in 1972, the game had players attempting to destroy a massive shark by firing a light gun at it.

Read More »Yeah, so there’s that. It’s worth noting that Friday the 13th was later adapted by LJN for the NES in 1989. Although that game’s Jason makes for a cool looking action figure, it is the C-64 release that is more true to the spookiness of Camp Crystal Lake’s cinematic counterpoint. Also released for the Commodore 64 in 1985 was Creative Sparks’ Mad Doctor. You probably have never heard of this one, but you should go through the trouble of searching for it. Playing as a, well, a mad doctor living in a small English village, you must find the body parts needed to make your own Frankenstein’s Monster. To achieve this goal you will either do some grave digging or just straight up murder townspeople who were foolish enough to go walking at night. Then you must avoid the pitchfork-wielding locals and make your way to a Stonehengy locale to bring your creation to life. Sounds fun, no? What is so great about Mad Doctor is that it gives you the opportunity to be evil for a bit. Trust us, there’s nothing like taking your frustrations out on an 8-bit simulation of an imaginary English townsperson. Uninvited was a point-and-click game that debuted on the Apple Macintosh in 1986 before being somewhat revamped for the NES (with perhaps the most metal cover ever) in 1991. In it, players must explore a creepy abandoned house in search of their lost sibling. These days, the game seems about as menacing as The Oregon Trail, but at the time it felt groundbreaking. Uninvited was a gamechanger by using the forum of a video game to build a tangible sense of dread. It’s influence is still felt today, and for that we should all be grateful. Unless it gave you endless nightmares, in which case, oops. Debuting in 1987 on American shores, Castlevania brought side-scrolling, vampire-killing fun to the NES, helping establish Konami’s reputation as a gaming innovator along the way. The Castlevania franchise now numbers over 30 games, including the most recent Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Your idea of which of these is the most fun likely depends on which title you started with. (For the record, Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse is our foreverlove). In October of 1987, Lucasarts released Maniac Mansion, a game that still seems ahead of its time. This point-and-click adventure immediately resonated with audiences because of its humor, versatile gameplay (the characters you played with impacted the story, resulting in multiple outcomes), and memorable music. It was so popular that it spawned a lackluster NES port in 1990, as well as a tremendous-yet-forgotten TV series that ran for three seasons and featured many SCTV alumni, including Joe Flaherty as Dr. Fred Edison and Eugene Levy, who executive produced and starred in one episode as a meta version of himself. It also got a sequel, the equally excellent Day of the Tentacle, in 1993.

It remains a game rich with fun and invention, which ultimately should be the point of these things in the first place. It’s a far cry from their Pac-Man days, but Namco also got into horror gaming with the 1988 release of Splatterhouse. The original Japanese version of the game was absolutely gonzo in terms of unrelenting violence. Players take on the guise of a college student who has donned a Jason Voorhees-esque mask and make their way through a vast mansion in search of their missing girlfriend. Along the way they must slash and punch foes ranging from demons to, um, bubbles. Because of all the outrageous gore present, the game became a firestorm of controversy, especially when it was ported to the then-new Turbografix 16 console. When the heat died down, the sad truth was revealed that beneath all the excess Splatterhouse’s biggest crime was being an uninspired button basher.
