Scariest video game ever?

Yeah SS2 is freaky (and awesome).  But for the real 'omg cool' shock, play the original System Shock and think:

This game came out the same year as the original Doom. (1994)
Then, as you fly around, use night vision, crawl around on your stomach, jump, walk up ramps, listen to dozens of voice logs, use cameras in the back of your head, activate personal shields, get ambushed repeatedly by a stuttering evil computer, use rocket boosted roller skates, look up and down, crouch, shoot out lights and computer monitors, solve story based puzzles, experience an actual story, hack into computer mainframes and fight watchdog programs, rewire keypads, and lean around corners, marvel that Doom did so much better!

Thief: The Dark Project can get pretty freaky-deaky.  The Return to the Cathedral was pretty frightening: the evil Haunts and zombies and ghosts infesting everywhere.  That was a damn fine game.

RIP Looking Glass!

Eternal Darkness was a fun game. I played it through in service of each of the gods to get the "full" ending and everything. The sanity effects were very cool. I think my favourites were the comedic ones, though. I.e., the "thank you for playing our demo" fake ending, the BSOD, etc. To be honest I didn't find it all that scary, though. It was creepy, but it didn't immerse me the way SS2 did.

Every time I think about that it boggles my mind.  Right down to the hybrid point-n-click and FPS-style controls, the invertory overlays on the screen...everything about System Shock was brilliant.  I honestly think that because Doom provided a way simpler interface and gameplay it was more successful.  System Shock was almost too much for people to enjoy.  Waaaay ahead of its time.

I'm trying to dig up as many System Shock 2 sound clips as I can, but all I can find is the Xerxes (I think?  The main starting AI) and Shodan clips...I want the stuff from the enemies, and I can't find it.

Abattur:
The many don't want you to find the sound files. You pathetic hacker.
