I don’t understand why Darkseed is listed twice, once in 1995 and once in 1997, by different companies. Is it a typo, or are there actually two different Darkseed games? |

Gekka Kiri Maboroshi Dan – TORICO
equals Lunacy in North America.
It felt more adventure than horror.
You sir, are a fount of wisdom.
I’m shocked someone would include Horror Tour
and leave games like The Note and Dark Messiah
off.
The Japanese must have an unnatural love
for grainy CPK movies and bad puzzles.
I suspect they didn’t intentionally leave them off the list; the article actually has screen shots from Hell Night and a couple of other games that are not included in the list. Maybe the list was put together by the intern? I mean, how could they miss Dark Tales – From the Lost Soul?!
Its a cool list though they have missed some very good ones.
The saturn version of mansion of hidden souls is different from the first, or so Im told as I own the saturn but not the sega CD my friend tells me its kind of like an unlinked sequel…I have the psone game Iru… it was a nightmare trying to get a copy
r00t.2pt.net
WTH, they didn’t put Countdown Vampires on the
list. Dino Crisis… They’re 10 times scarier
than many games listed.
