Surreal, grotesque, hellish retro video games. I would like to know some of them.

[Anonymous No.9959550]

Doom and Doom II
Dark Seed 1
King's Quest VI has some segments in a hellish world
System Shock 2 has some gross shit
I have no Mouth and I must Scream isn't disgusting by any means, but it might as well be in hell

[Anonymous No.9959575]

>>9959528
X-Multipy & Bio-Hazard Battle

[Anonymous No.9959582]

>>9959528
Shadow of the beast series, Agony and Ork for yer Amigger. Not necessarily hellish but they have lots of weird alien bodyhorror in them.
>>9959550
>Dark Seed 1
Why only DS1?

Forgot the pic. It is Ork.

I will now buy your game.

[Anonymous No.9959649]

>>9959590
It's not a surreal or grotesque game but G-Darius also features a flying anomalocaris

Because Dark Seed II is a fucking joke

[Anonymous No.9959857]

>>9959842
Are you really saying this game is a joke

[Anonymous No.9959863]

This and it's two sequels on the Genesis. The Xbox 360/PS3 remake for the hell of it.

postals loading screens are a psychopathic (possibly demonically possessed) madman's journal pages with a cool hellish picture to go with them

Yes, the laboratory room in the first game is more scary than everything in the second game combined.
Then again, it's not really hard when most of the second game has to offer is giger art tossed around with not much rhyme or reason.

[Anonymous No.9960205]

mortal kombat 2. it was the only one that actually felt scary, especially the sound design. the screams and fatalities in that game are awesome.

[Anonymous No.9960218]

I saved the graphic from the other thread

The creator of that chart was still tweaking it in that thread, here's the last version I saw.

I think Fear Effect 1&2 qualify

[Anonymous No.9963329]

All of them.

Looks a lot like R-Type.

[Anonymous No.9963537]

>>9960443
Are there any more charts like this? Charts for niche genres, or outsider themes

played the original for the first time last week, it was pretty good, started playing the remake too.
the remake is better in some places like gameplay, backgrounds looking better and sound quality is higher but the new models and animations are a bit more "cartoony" in a bad way and i heard the ending was censored.

Postal 2 finally makes so much sense now for me as a parody of the situation the creators found themselves in.
i'd like it if they made a new darker more deranged entry to the franchise maybe top-down shooter for the fans of the first one if they are not total sellouts.
they would be bound to PC tho.

why does it seem like RWS was much more professional as a dev before the time around Postal 2 coming out?

[Anonymous No.9963589]

>>9963576
Because they put everything they had into making Postal 1, and like >>9963556 says, it was met with the kind of derision that led to them spawning Postal 2 in response. Turns out that mixing cynicism and dark humor with over-the-top edginess is a more entertaining approach than pure edge and little else.

[Anonymous No.9963606]

>>9963589
if we're speaking in terms of entertainment, it's hard to say as P1's gameplay was basic as fuck. i think pure edge could work given the right circumstances. Manhunt for example leaned much harder into the edge than the comedic aspect and did well enough to produce a sequel.

[Anonymous No.9963620]

>>9963606
nat but the difference is that in Manhunt you gore the lowest scums while in Postal you kill civilians so it's not the same ease of connection to the sstory, gameplay and characters.
for my part i don't give a shit i enjoy dark edgy as something funny because it's just games and i don't have psychotic tendencies i'm trying to suppress(this last one was a jab at a type of outraged insecure stuckups not anyone on this board).

Really ugly enemies and very violent. Also that damn intro.

[Anonymous No.9963819]

>>9963556
also, forgot that Eternal Damnation for Postal 2 is a must play and semi-canon since its main character makes an appearance in "Paradise Lost" expansion.
heard the guy who made that mod is now at RWS

[Anonymous No.9964087]

Requiem Avenging Angel has some impressive scenes set in hell.
I can't find a pic, but the first time you cross through it was pretty impressive.

how the fuck did RWS continue to exist as a game company all the way till today with only really two big games to their name, and then finally making a 4th after the bungled third? It's got to be mob money right?
