I didn't mean games that scared you for one reason or other (so I think
Aliens can't quite be included, it's more sci-fi than horror), I mean games
that are really horror-oriented.

There are two great examples within the RPG genre: The Legacy (in which the
hero inherits a haunted hause) and Don't Go Alone (in which four kids pay a
visit to a haunted house).

Maybe Escape from Hell too, a story of a young man that goes to rescue his
girlfriend in Hell... not too scary with its top-down, 16 color gfx, but an
horror game nevertheless :)

Of course, then we have Elvira 1, Elvira 2 and Waxworks.

Sounds plausible to me -- I would probably add Alone in the Dark to the
list even
though it is a cross-genre adventure. It certainly scared me!
