I was browsing The Underdogs website the other day, for the purpose of catching up on all the vintage gaming I’d missed out on in my youth, when title for the Commadore64 caught my attention. The game was Project Firestart, a title I had chosen to ignore in the past, what a mistake that was. Anyway, I figured that because the download was available here and now, I might as well give it a try, so I got around to playing the game and immediately hailed it as the perfect example of how timeless classics are able to hold up to this day.

The one thing which crossed my mind after playing the game for a few moments was of how much it reminded me of 7 Days and 1213, though don’t make the mistake of thinking they’re anything alike. The game follows a story inspired by the movie Aliens and other like minded flicks during the 70 and 80’s… it’s kind of an amalgam of said movies, but manages to retain an original gaming edge.

I highly recommend downloading the game and an emulator for it, (CCS64) and giving it a whirl. You’ll also need a map for the game, Google it.

The purpose of this thread is to provide a place for all of you who whish to contribute to a list of horror themed games which follow a similar vein to the Chzo mythos (an attempt to keep this thread topic relevant to the forum), or even games you feel are horror classics in themselves.

Fire away.
