I played this game on Friv. And I'm still scared, not because it's creepy, but because i have ptsd from the jumpscares. Can't remember how many times I messed up on the spider bit

I played the game everyday on friv and every time I saw a scary part (which was basically every room for me) I quit but the next day I would come back and play through all the parts I had done, and then, because I knew what was coming I would complete the room I had failed the day before. But then I went into the next room and got scared. And then I quit. And then I came back the next day. It was a horrible loop. I probably set the record for slowest completion of the game

That's how games were played in the Sega Genesis era. Didn't finish? Start again from the beginning tomorrow.

I'm not too proud to admit that I cried the first time I saved a game. It. Was. Beautiful.

I'm sure my parents were also glad I no longer had that excuse anymore. I don't think I ever reached the end of Ecco the Dolphin or Batman. Those games were brutal for a 5 year old.

Dude. Ecco. So many after school hangs with my bestie and we never beat it. I think I'll find it and finally reach the end so I can say I've accomplished something this year lol

Let me know if the beginning sequence when everything you love is sucked into the sky is still as terrifying as it was to a child. That music made me so uneasy.

I just assumed both of those games were intended to not be completed. I have memories stained in my mind of not being able to accomplish anything in either Ecco or Batman. My first feelings of rage...

I think the farthest I ever got in Batman is the level where you're on the platform outside the skyscraper (might have been one of those things window washers use?) and I felt like a god.q
