Mine is hands down the green alien fart cloud in The Pandora Directive. For three simple reasons:

  1. I don’t like being chased.
  2. I don’t like being on a timer.
  3. It scares the crap out of me to this day.

I usually panic to the point where I forget everything I need to do, despite having played the game a million times, and I spam the everloving hell out of the hint system.

Runner-up, also from the Tex Murphy series: the GRS “eyeball droid” in Under a Killing Moon. For some reason Access just felt compelled to put one pants-crapping sequence into each of these games…

    The second act of the Lord of the Rings video game on ps2. There’s a prolonged sequence where you have to flee from dark riders as Frodo, and it’s overly easy to get caught and get a game-over. Once that part is over the game is great though!
