LascarCapable Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Seriously, even today it still gives me chills. That impression of deep, sinister abyss, everything in creepy red and the music does not help at all. Now set it back in the context : most of us were pretty young, so imagine if this pops out in front of a 7 years old kid. It's even scarier. Dang I even remember that I had nightmares about that red screen of doom poping on my TV out of sudden at night. If you own a PS2, you definitely know what true fear is.

bejuizb Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Oh yeah. I was playing Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. Final mission, took me damn near 6 months of playing to reach it. Then this message pops up. Only time I've genuinely cried over a video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfScrugging Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) I think something equally horrifying is everything launches like normal and you get to main menu to load your game only to be shown that there is no save. then you ,confused and panicked, restart the system and go into your memory card only to see it needs to be reformatted and you've lost all your save data Edited January 17, 2016 by LordOfScrugging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Everytime that happened, it was a half hour of blowing the disk drive, cleaning the underside of the disk, unplugging everything and plugging them back in, holding down the disk drive lid in case it was loose, etc. It took a while to accept my favorite games were dead.

sappinmahsentry Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 This happened when I inserted Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. I kept trying and trying and trying to put it back in but it wouldn't work. It was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you own a PS2, you definitely know what true fear is. i must have been fortunate. cause i never once got this and i owned 2 PS2's my nightmare was that i never owned a memory stick for the longest time. until a friend lent me there spare but sooner or later i had to give it back because he moved away to another country.. but that day i strictly remember i was crying my eyes out at the age of maybe 8 or so and my dad seen then and said why i was crying and i told him why i was crying, so later on in the day he took me to the town (not yet revealing what his plan was) and he bought me a memory card! 128Mb's if i can recall correctly :D and from that day on i would never my games progress ever again - i played need for speed underground and underground 2 alot so those were massive factors for my joy and happiness Edited January 17, 2016 by DiBBz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Cynicaid Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I got that on the very first time I tried to play a game on mine. The disc for Tribes Aerial Assault was dead before I had ever got to play it. Then I played a lot of Devil May Cry. Seems fitting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
