All that and no mention of _Rescue at Fractalus_, _The Eidolon_ (An 8-bit FPS 11 years before Doom), _Koronis Rift_, or _Ballblazer_? I'm getting old...
Still, relating this to storytelling, I continue to believe that the single most terrifying moment in a video game, to this day, occurs in _Rescue at Fractalus_. Everyone I know has literally fallen backwards in their chair at that moment.
But since all the people I allude to are now old fogies, it would be interesting to see the reaction of someone a lot younger who went into the game unaware and played up to that point, a point integral to the gameplay, and to see if they instinctively do the right thing to address it.
