10 Exact Moments That Made You Scream In Horror Video Games
1. "Run, He Is Right Behind You" - 3D Monster Maze
As one of the earliest examples of a horror video game, it might be assumed that 3D Monster Maze has little to offer in terms of genuine frights.
However you'd be wrong. Dead wrong.
If you've played this charming piece of nostalgia, you'll know the sheer terror of reading the words "Run He Is Right Behind You". The premise of the game is that you're locked in a maze with a T-Rex and you must solve this labyrinth without getting eaten.
In order to make the game fair, text updates alert the player as to the state of the T-Rex, namely whether he's lost track of you, is close, or indeed is about to munch on your trainers. Seeing this alert sends absolute panic through you, as you're now not only running to get away from being eaten alive, but you're also praying you don't fall foul of a dead end, for if you do there's nothing left but to look death in the eyes and meet your maker.
