I played this game when I was about 10 years old on my Amiga, at night, in the dark, while the rest of my family was watching a movie downstairs.
It scared the living crap out of me.
The repetitive soundtrack, cheesy sound effects, and monsters breaking through walls, all worked together with my malleable mind to have me whipping my head around peering into the dark hallways of my room, the nearby closet every time anything creaked, and I lived in a creaky house.
Looking back, it's a joke of a game.
But my god I was scared then. If I remember correctly, my parents had even forbid me from playing it, so there was that fear too.
Heh.
