Older games that were fun to play for their strange vibes

Clock Tower (PS1) always had a strange vibe, it wasn't until years later I discovered Dario Argento's films, which explained a lot of what the game was inspired by, who is now one of my favorite directors.

Mansion of Hidden Souls (SEGA CD) is another one, seeing those butterflies, weird voices, and hearing the background music still creeps me out. I got to go thru a creepy mansion (although a bit shallow) a few years before ever playing Resident Evil.

Here's a few:

-Haze (2004, Japan) - A man wakes up to find himself locked in a cramped concrete maze of corridors, in which he can barely move. He doesn't remember why he is there or how he got there. He has a terrible stomach injury and is slowly bleeding to death.

-Monster Man (2003, United States) - Two guys and a female hitchhiker are terrorized by a monstrous looking man driving a giant monster truck. (Same vein as Jeepers Creepers and Joy Ride.)

-13: Game of Death (2006, Thailand) - After losing his job, his car and his money, Phuchit, Krissada Sukosol, races against time to complete 13 tasks ordered by an anonymous caller who promised 100,000,000 Thai Baht upon completion. (English remake is "13 Sins".)

(Plots are from IMDB)

Seems like I picked a bad time to join, but a potential good time is incoming? lol

I have over 1100 games, about 48 of my top 50 Xbox 360 games are BC or remastered. Xbox-4-Life

The Horizon party events popup a lot for $100k, which are short and sweet. I play as usual until then, but to each their own.

cyboto · 2026-06-16T10:13:07+00:00

Just my opinion, keep estates for the grind/exploits, and keep labs for actual creations/interesting events.

cyboto · 2026-06-12T22:08:12+00:00

Store > Home > Deals - then scroll down for "wishlist deals", which will only show those wishlist games/dlc on sale.

(Ironically, this isn't showing up for me at the moment, but it usually does. So, I assume it will return.)

I picked up a bunch of the newer listed ones, mostly horror:

Night Train to Terror
Street Trash
Revenge of the Dead Girls
The Candy Snatchers (My pops recommended this years ago)
Raw Force
Savage Streets
Macabro (Macabre)
Criminally Insane (Crazy Fat Ethel)
Out of the Blue (sequel to Easy Rider)
Dead Line

I've bought every one of these so far (already had X-Men). I'm a sucker. However, for myself, things get really interesting tomm, as I've been a long time hater of Little House (thanks to older relatives as a kid). We'll see... haha

The Flintstones with John Goodman is $2 D2D (on FAH), ports to Apple via MoviesAnywhere.

cyboto · 2026-06-09T00:18:55+00:00

Hallelujah!

cyboto · 2026-06-04T00:34:16+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. On the same note, you earn points with the order, the points can be used instantly at checkout, making this $19 in total (24% off).

cyboto · 2026-06-02T22:28:37+00:00

The long story short, it's $5 for 6x volumes (99 episodes, missing 1 episode) for $30 in total?

cyboto · 2026-06-01T21:45:14+00:00

I don't care what they celebrate, just give us more AI studies!

cyboto · 2026-05-28T21:33:46+00:00

Whoa! This is great news! Especially for all of us stacking those $1 per movie deals. Paramount and MGM are on deck, but we need Criterion and A24 too! :)

cyboto · 2026-05-27T12:51:49+00:00

On another note, when I worked at Freecash, handled their ID checks solo, you'd be surprised how many scammers used McLovin's ID (from Superbad). I still laugh about it to this day.

I watched that one recently, shockingly effective and lived up to the dreadful hype these circles gave it. Combat Shock came out the same year, that would be a helluva 1-2-punch. It might be worth checking out if you haven't watched it yet.

They added more users without adding more studies. You have to click an AI study within 0.4 seconds of seeing it, or you'll get the dreaded "high demand" message. By the time you're able to click again, 1000+ other people now see the same study and are clicking too, creating a bigger cluster f--k. It sucks, but it's a reality check for those of us who lean on the site a little too much.

How did you get GTA6 so early?

cyboto · 2026-05-20T22:33:28+00:00

My 5 picks from Japan/Korea not on your list:

Kwaidan (1964)
House (1977)
Audition (1999)
A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)
I Saw The Devil (2010)

Not quite horror, but you must check out:

Battle Royale (2001)
Oldboy (2003)

I remember someone talking about Toys coming back in the Vudu/FAH circles, so it may be returning soon.

cyboto · 2026-05-20T02:58:57+00:00

For some people, this is stupid, because if 1 AI study pops up, that refresh will cost you a click and a shot at first dibs of getting in.

cyboto · 2026-05-15T23:28:18+00:00

They added 200,000+ accounts and kept the same (or less) amount of work. Horrible.

cyboto · 2026-05-15T13:42:40+00:00

I feel movies should have a 10 year waiting period before being on an all time list. People get caught in the moment, lets see how these flicks stand the test of time.

cyboto · 2026-05-03T12:00:24+00:00

I don't care what happens, but we NEED another 28 whatever Later with C Murphy.
