Alone and in the dark in my apartment, then I had to stop, shit is too creepy.
They actually made me think the game froze too, since the disc is slightly damaged.

That game is fucking badass. Ahead of it's time if you ask me.
Are you sure the game froze because the disc is damaged or is your sanity meter too high? I don't know how far you are in the game but if you just started out and haven't figured it out yet, the higher the sanity meter, the more it messes with your head. It will do shit like freeze up for a second or make it seem like the game has been reset or the audio will cut out or something like that. One time I was playing and a spider ran across the screen... I got up because I swore the spider was real but later found out that the game was just fucking with me. 7/7/2011 10:23:00 PM |

No it was sanity, it tricked me.
Best Eternal Darkness Story though, game had been freezing some on my old TV didn't think much of it. One time the TV went black and started emitting a high pitched sound. I was like "Woah this is detailed." Turned out my TV had blown and was starting to smoke out the back.

AHA, I actually played Eternal Darkness!!!
I inherited a Gamecube from a friend, and it was randomly the first (and only) game I ever really played on it.
It set my expectations for all the new games and stuff like crazy high.

This is probably one of Nintendo's best stand alone games probably because Silicon Knights made it. 7/8/2011 1:28:51 AM |

Yes sir. It is a good game. I like the bathtub scene and the Revolutionary War man who ends up in the nut hut. 7/8/2011 1:39:08 AM |

What I'm gathering from this thread is that I need to figure out what it will take to play this game? Probably a computer, emulator, ROM, and an Xbox controller? 7/8/2011 2:06:58 AM |

I even played through the whole game with each of the 3 magic choices to see the REAL ending back in the day

lol I remember one part when I selected a health kit from my inventory and instead of taking out the health kit the dude just took out a pistol and shot himself in the face then went to the game over screen I was like 'WTF!?!?!?!!?' and was about to throw the controller but then it went back to the inventory and I was like "Oh Eternal Darkness, you have fooled me again." 7/8/2011 9:12:49 AM |

^^Apparently if you beat it 5 or 3 times with each alignment it shows another ending as well.
Also you can play this game on the Wii, but you'll need the disc. 7/8/2011 9:39:08 AM |

I played through the whole game once, but wasn't really feeling it. It's pretty easy to go through the whole thing without your insanity meter rising to the level of causing the crazy shit to go down. But the concept was pretty neat. 7/8/2011 10:36:50 AM |

^ that is what happened to me. I should have played like shit so I could have seen the cool stuff. Silent Hill 2 is still king of scary games to me. 7/8/2011 10:43:47 AM |

ahaha that was one of the first ones I got after the first few enemies I encountered. I got pretty pissed because I had bought the game from some random dude on Craigslist and I thought he had scammed me.7/8/2011 12:33:08 PM |
