The 25 Most Spine-Tingling NES Horror Games

Описание: Do you think an old 8-bit console like the NES was incapable of creating terrifying experiences with those pixelated graphics and archaic sound? Well, maybe you need to watch this video to prove otherwise!



There’s no getting around the fact that the NES era isn’t generally considered to be the best time for horror games. While the popular narrative that horror gaming didn’t properly begin until Resident Evil was released in 1996 obviously isn’t accurate, it’s safe to say that the ’80s and early ’90s were a strange time for the genre.

Even back in the classic days of the NES, Nintendo’s primary focus was on family-friendly content for their video games. Still, genre fans had many games to appreciate on the console, as several horror games would be released on the system.

Let’s take a look at the best horror NES games, perfect for adrenaline-pumping horror experiences for even the bravest hardcore players. Note that this game curation also includes games released for the Famicom as well as a notable unlicensed NES game.

In this video you will find:

• A game curation showcasing the scariest NES games ever made
• A selection of moments that showcase the technical capabilities of the 8 bit (in all its splendor)
• Information related to each game such as release date, developer company, game genre and system it was released on.
• Official game box arts with a 3D presentation.
• Educative and/or critical comments on the importance of the video game and why you should play it

⚠️ All gameplay recording, game curation and opinions included in this video, as well as editing is completely done by me

Bits & Beats creates videos about the history of video games. In this channel you'll find comparisons, retrospectives, technical analysis, but, mostly, game curations with the idea of having an important task of preserving video games, and make them relevant to society at large.

Curation isn't just about digging up neat games, but it's also about preservation, interpretation, and using one's knowledge to make it relevant to people. With my videos I want older gamers to look back and remember the influence of video games on their lives, and new gamers to understand the larger context of the series they're playing for the first time today.

I put significant time and creative effort into each one of my videos, including research, digging into archives, playing video games and recording hours of footage, selecting specific clips, writing reviews for each title, and making a very careful video editing in the way to transmit both educational and entertaining values to my audience. Every video takes a lot of hours to produce, because I strive to give my audience a consistent, high-quality content.

Fidelity and preservation of the video games is essential in Bits & Beats, so the recordings are made with the highest bitrate quality. It is done this way to preserve original game look and sound through modern footage, with no superfluous additions. I recommend you watch the video at 4K and 60 frames per second to get the best possible viewing experience.

I hope you enjoy my videos and find them useful!
