What game

Genuinely too scary for me as a kid

alone in the dark

Yes and the Japanese refined it from a clunky, ugly mess.

O RLY?

Alone in the Dark, much like your sex-life

yeah, played this first before RE and always thought RE is somewhat of a spiritual succesor to AitD, to bad the sequels all sucked.

yeah blah blah, they can tell me what they want, the similarities are glaring

can you delete this? it's ruining my thread

Is it a good game. Alone in the dark?

It was clearly the inspiration for Resident Evil and plays very similarly except more primitive, for example enemies can stunlock you to death, and it's possible to dead-end yourself if you didn't collect, or used-up, items you need for puzzles.

MWAAAAAAH the French survival genre has always been celebrated for its excellence

Oh shit so it'd like resident evil 1? Sounds fun. Any tips before I start the game?

Also it seemsthere are different versions of the game. Which one to play?is the newest one a remake

So the alone in the dark game is the one on ps1 am I correct.

I think you mean new nightmare, the first one was before ps1

You want Alone in the Dark the 1992 game, which you can pirate or buy from gog.com

There were 2 lousy sequels to the original game, and 2 lousy reboots.

So I should only play the first one that is from DOS? What about the other ones.

Remember when asked about it the RE guy said he had never heard of Alone in the Dark. cough cough

They are lousy, like I said.

Holy shit I'm watching a let's play of the first one and godamm the guy is so fucking slow

The game speed is tied to processor speed, you can increase it in DOSbox.

new nightmare was decent thou.

I am going to get the GOG version. Game looks cool.

Im surprised by how many people forget that there were horror games before 3D.

And seriously who cares who created what genre first? Alone in the Dark is a quite impressive game.

The japanese invented very few genres of games, but they perfected a lot of them.

Personal Nightmare was released before Sweet Home
