10 Video Games Based On Horror Movies You've Completely Forgotten About
6. The Ring: Terror's Realm
When you think of the SEGA Dreamcast, you think of flashy arcade games, popping colours, and a console that never got its due respect. You don't think of it as the platform to host a little-known game called The Ring: Terror's Realm.
This unexpected release arrived on the Dreamcast in 2000, and is loosely based on The Ring movies and novel. As the player, you control a CDC investigator who must get to the bottom of a series of mysterious deaths involving co-workers. As the building gets locked down, you've got no option but to face the horrifying reality behind the deaths.
There weren't many survival horror games for the Dreamcast, and if they were all like this one, it's not a surprise. Terror's Realm was dull, clunky, and starved of everything that made the movies scary.
Unfortunately, this was one of the side effects of Resident Evil's crazy success. The number of hollow survival horror imitators that followed in its wake was huge, and few of them are worth your time. So, before you think about giving this a try, do yourself a favour and boot up Code Veronica instead.
