Keatah Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 What in your opinion were/are the most moodiest, dark & downtempo, play on a cold & raining evening VCS games? I'm starting with StarShip. Mostly because it was slow and the the sounds droning. The random beeps and bloops were spooky. They really created atmosphere and open space.

+Propane13 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) I always thought Star Raiders with the lights down and volume up in a quiet room at night could get downright creepy. Your only music is those 3 lone, sad, tones. And then, off you go. On the harder modes, an unskilled player will quickly lose the Starbase, at which point-- they're coming after you. During the final battle, it can be really easy to get distracted from your fuel/energy level and spend your focus on blowing up the Krylons. If in that moment of distraction you happen to explode, then the whole screen goes nuts and the sound can be jarring. Then it's followed by those same 3 lone, sad tones. I still remember having that experience when I was younger, and I think it can still hold up to this day.
