What Video Game Creepypasta scared you the most growing up?

[No_Life_King]

This one used to creep me out. It's a pretty well made one called Godzilla Nes. The premise is that a Demon named red is haunting Godzilla for the Nes, and tormenting the mc

You learn more about the mc and his old girlfriend who died under mysterious circumstances. I don't want to spoil too much, but it's pretty cool.

I love video game creepy pasta, sadly they didn't exist when I was growing up.

Ben drowned.

I think it was the first (?) video game creepypasta ever or at least the first that was widespread over the internet (don't quote me on that). Majora's Mask always unerved me as a child so the creepypasta based on it scared the hell out of me. The Link statue and reverse Song of Healing combo really scared me.

I have read the Godzilla one and Lavander Town at the time but both felt so forced and amateurish they didn't really creeped me out as Ben Drowned

I never got into creepy pasta, but I think Gorefield fits the theme..

 

[BrawlMan]

I was never into creepy pastas and rarely ever bothered with them. I didn't even know what they were until I was about 18.

 

[NeonKnights]

I never got into them when they were new, unless you count knowing about the slenderman Photoshop Phriday connection pretty early. I was to busy playing QWOP and the Scary Maze game.

I'm not really grow up reading the creepy pasta but i do accidentally found this post that's talking about Harvest Moon More Friends of Mineral Town (Yk the version where you're a female).

In this creepypasta the game was infested with demons and instead of fully scared i was like huh maybe i can try and play this i might as well try and defeat those demon. Then i learnt what's creepypasta actually is.

Another one i remember was the sonic adventure 2 creepy pasta (iirc) in which there's several case of death after finishing that game. And my dad were the one who told me this stories

Didn't really scare me, but I remember being creeped out by the Lavender Town Syndrome story. Think that was 2010 so I was 13-14 years old and I actually believed for a few years that there were elements of truth to the story, which made it creepier to me. Not the stuff about 'hundreds of Japanese children committed suicide because of high-pitched tones only they could hear in the Lavender Town music' but it felt totally plausible to me that the original release of Pokémon Red and Green had high-pitched tones in the Lavender Town BGM that gave some kids mild headaches and later revisions of the games (and all foreign versions) lowered the frequency to prevent this.

Of course now I know that all of it is BS and was entirely made up but still did creep me out back in the day.

What is a creepy pasta ? Some one sad bad at cocking the pasta looks like bad cocking looks like in anime?

I think probably either Sonic.exe or... well, Ben Drowned. I am from Italy, and there's this really cool channel that talks about gaming, called Parliamo di Videogiochi (let's talk about videogames), that at the prime time of creepypastas and the likes, made a playlist called creepy games, where they would talk about the different creepypastas related to gaming of the time, and it's all made in that old fashioned way of the early 2010s.

Unfortunately there's no english translation of the video, like they would usually do, but trust me, if you know some italian, it's a good watch. Probably one of the best videos ever that influenced me throughout my life when it comes to horror media. It doesn't help that the creepypasta is quite deep as well, knowing how far it can go.

I kinda liked them when I was a teen but then I got tired of le realistic blood and le haunted cartridge that too many are using.

What I liked the most about Ben Drowned is actually its making of where the author showed the various cheats and how he hacked the game for that effect.

What I liked about NES Godzilla were some of the levels that could've turned into a fan game (even without the creepy pasta/RED thing) but I didn't like the later half of the story especially with Melissa which I've always found out of place when it could've been just between the narrator and the cartridge/RED and not some sort of ex-friend being a sort of Angel Ex Machina but that's just me.

Then again my favourite one is still Candle Cove because sometimes, like jokes, the shortest horror stories are the best.

 

[Unassuming_Spook]

Ah, the creepy stuff. I was never into it either, but I do find it to be creative. One channel I like on YouTube is Pamtri. Very disturbing but in a funny morbid kind of way.

The old school creepy pastas

But I enjoy fake creepypastas

The old school creepy pastas

I used to be interested in this one until I've noticed how poorly made and poorly done Sonic.exe actually is.

Not only the whole "Sonic's prototype on a disc" made 0 sense as the game was made for the Genesis since day 1 but the whole "what if Sonic but bloodier" is just mediocre and cheap.

 

[SamanthaSamantha's icon]

There was one about Bloody Tails from Sonic R that genuinely unsettled me back then, especially because I owned the game.

 

[OniOwl]

I swear i never order from Ebay again, destroyed my ps2

That's true, If you notice, Sonic.exe ended up standardizing the cliches of this type of story.
even I was a kid this creepypasta used to scare me a lot, I retired for YT for a while for a Steven universe Creepypasta LOL

The best Creepy Pasta are the ones based on actual errors:

 

[AzureStrikerRai]

Tails Doll from Sonic R. I remember actually trying to do the creepy pasta by having him tag Super Sonic. He genuinely frightened me when I was younger.

 

[Den MDM Den MDM]

I don't even remember, since there was a time I'd only get creepypastas recommended on my YT feed. They weren't the most known ones, and some were narrations of the popular creepypastas. I'd watch them for fun and I don't remember getting scared by any except (don't laugh), the Motel Jefferson creepypasta.

And it wasn't even for the creepypasta itself, but from a screamer some guy put on a video about it, so it stayed with me for a long time.

 

[Viviana Santos]

The Godzilla NES (aka Red) creepypasta really freaked me out when I was a kid, and it’s still my favorite creepypasta to date.

 

[iisoide]

Tails Doll I think it was called.

 

[Shihainin]

Not super relevant but I figure I'll share a little story from my childhood. I remember when I was growing up I had this copy of Pokemon Blue and it always weirded me out because it never had a save file on it (the battery was probably dead), and when I'd boot the game up I'd go through Oaks little dialogue at the beginning, but I'd never get far since the game would (funnily enough) play the cry of a Gastly, and then crash. Sometimes Oak's sprite would explode or disappear but thats all that would happen. I never made it to the overworld. Now I'm older, and I've actually lurked on Bulbapedia glitchdex and whatnot for a while, since gen 1 bugs and glitches always fascinated me, but to this day I still dont know what was up with it. When my dog was little and started teething, I caught him chewing up the cartridge, and it never worked after that. I hate myself for throwing it away, but it is what it is.
I saw a Tronicsfix video on repairing Gen 1 carts and one of them showed a very similar behavior, and if I recall correctly, it was due to sound chip corruption via water damage on the PCB.
More than likely my guess is that one of my older siblings accidentally threw in the washer and it sustained severe water damage, but I can never know now. It still feels cool that I had a somewhat real creepy pasta when I was younger, even if it wasnt particularly special or creepy.

The damn Tails Doll curse from Sonic R. My dumb ass kid self sold my copy of Sonic Gems because of it.
