Disturbing moments
What happens when you successfully qualify at skeet shoot on Hyper Sports is downright unsettling. The not-quite-human face of the previously unseen shooter turns to wink menacingly at the player, while what can only be described as the Apocalypse apparently begins just off-camera (if the roar of corruption and horror of a sound effect is any indicator).

Don't play Friday the 13th! Although that's disturbing for all the wrong reasons. ;)

there was a big thread of scariest speccy games a couple of years back
Also Lop Ears how a pitbull drains your energy, but a tiny red Squirrel makes you keel over and die instantly? Hmmmmmm?
I wouldn't consider Hyper Sports disturbing, its a good game.
If the shooter turned round and didn't have a face, I would find his lack of face disturbing.

(had to be done!)
Yup it ruins what otherwise could've been quite a good game, and so does the fact that you have to do the forwards jump to go up a slope instead of the game just letting you keep walking.
The amount of clothes Sam Fox wears, scarves, gloves, hat...wtf.
R tape loading error messages
Most ackward: When you press down in "Myth", looks like he's taking a dump.
i always found that games with this loading scheme were also the most prone to failing
Don't know the technical term of the loading scheme but i know ghouls and ghosts used it.
Like concorde crashing into a saucepan factory.
Like Jupiter exploding above a foghorn convention.
:lol:
I think theres a similar explosion noise in Ping Pong when you or your opponent misses a ball.
The above is why Street Hassle a.k.a Bad Street Brawler/Bop n' Rumble has never had a modern update, you couldn't get away with half of it these days :lol:
like how he's shoved his finger up that guy's nose
Disagree. It does not have to be an accurate recreation, but at least get the tone right. It's just way too MUCH. And you have to hear it three times.
I remember Cosmic Wartoad being like some bad trip of a game, will have to fire that up for a session soon.
It's either that or Trashman somehow got mixed up with the matador, but in the absence of any explanatory text, I'm going with the crowd of demons hypothesis.
Better crowd sound effect though!
Me to; until then I'd assumed that all synthesized speech on the speccy was destined to be s**t.
It is a quirky batnball-cum-nearnakedlady game and as such, I think, unique on the ZX Spectrum.
The 'disturbing moment' is after you have shot the lot on screen six, as the girl revealed has a diproportionately long back. Very worrying.

Evil Dead? - had a 'scary' loading screen I think
Theres a noise when you win Tug O War in the 128K version of Supertest that would have worked. Or maybe if it just played a victory tune or something that would have been better:grin:
Jetset Willy also disturbed me a bit. The monks, the razorblades, the entrance to hades, the big head thing in the chapel....all freaked me a bit.
Sonically - many games disturbed me. The birdy song when Chuckie Egg loads up.......pure terror. Blockbusters - again pure terror. There's many more I can't remember right now(thankfully).
Yeah i remember being a bit freaked by that big head in the chapel, i think it also appears near the rooftop (can't remember the screen name but i think its one up from the foot of the megatree).
