I scrolled down a few inches to see the title of the first thing.
I have No Mouth and I must scream is probably the creepiest thing I ever read. Batshit insane and so morbidly scary that I don't want to admit it. I doubt Ill know anything else on this list but Ill post again and take mroe bandwidth if I must.
I actually have heard of the Path, through word of mouth tho, one of my friends is a PC buff. I've never played it but it looks intriguing, the other games are completely new to me.
@Cyberninja: Wow you actually put something productive. Im amazed. But ya the old man in the Tell Tale Heart was killed because his vulture eye kept freaking out the insane homicidal narrator...then it ends with him going insane, hearing the old mans heart since he buried him beneath the floorboards, and revealing to the cops that he killed the man. Not scary, but a pain reading 19th century English
I have no mouth and I must scream? That shit was awsome. It's like horribly dark and evil, despite the fact that it's two-bit graphics somehow add an upbeat tone to rape, torture, and murder.
You'll never believe which one of these I actually did play when it was fairly new and I was a child. Ready? Haunted House! I know!!!
But seriously, I did play this game, only not on an Atari 2600, or at least, I don't remember the controller being Atari. This stands out as one of my very earliest gaming memories, right there with learning how to time flipping the Atari 2600 switches to play the music my own way, the first time I played Asteroids at home (I could not have been more than 5) and at an arcade (even younger!!!), and the first time I ever saw a guy actually drop change into an arcade game called Cliffhanger at a local Chuck-e-Cheese, which looked crazy hard to me when I was a kid.
We read "The Tell-Tale Heart" in english, as an example of creating tension.
Fuckin' scary stuff to be reading to a group of 13 year olds....
Kinda got ruined when the music class on the floor below started playing Axel F though... XD
