I’m not normally one for themed, seasonal gaming… but Halloween seems to lend itself particularly well to playing a particular type of game.

So what are you playing this spooky season?

This year, I’m playing through Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (DS version, via the Retroid Pocket 2S). It’s not the spookiest entry in the series, but has enough creepy castle exploration to fit the bill.

    Decided to give the first Silent Hill a try finally. Figured on my small MM+ and it being an older game graphically it would be easier to handle but uh…nope! Still scaring the shit out of me :)

    Cool idea.

    Sometimes around Halloween I’ll play through silent hill. I might do it again this year.

    There’s a nightmare on elm street game for nes, and a Friday the 13th as well, iirc. Those might be fun to play.

    Edit:

    Majora’s mask would be a good one

    Luigi’s Mansion has both that fun and spooky ambiance, pretty short game also, perfect to play just for a few evening

    Monster Bash by Apogee

    One of the first games little-me could get running through those old MS-DOS commands

    Halloweeny and nostalgic. Perfect for the season

      OMG Apogee. Blake Stone, Secret Agent, Halloween Harry … So many great memories.

      Never did quite get that sound blaster 16 driver working with all of them though!

      It’s considered by many, myself included, to be one of the best horror games ever made. The fact that a sequel or even a remastered version has never been made is incredibly disappointing.

      Yes, very unique survival horror game. You play as people from different points of history and one of my favorite moments is when a character in 1485 in a church in France has a hallucination with hospice tents from World War I, which you later see again when you play as a different character in the same church in 1916.
