man i been looking for the enlish version rom for ps1 emulator, closest i could get was super nintendo rom but the fucking rom must be corrupt and the game doen't work ffs
Also worth noting is that fact that the PSX version has a few minor dialogue changes. When Jennifer runs away from Mary in Ending B's route a kicks her down the tower, she doesn't say anything in the SNES version. In the PSX version, she says something (forgot what it was though), making the whole scene a bit more cheesy imo.
what the difference between clock tower on SNES and the first fear on PSX? and which one is better to get...someone tell me please...my head is gonna explode
Oh Man, I remember 4:52 in the SNES, the zombie didn't chase you though. I remember it scared the crap out of me because I didn't expect it. This was one of the couple scenes I actually jumped out of my chair from Clock Tower.
@toaofanimation Eh? When I paused the video when it showed the face, and it really looks like Bobby, with the really fat cheeks and everything. Guess I was imagining things.
i love scary video games (silent hill series, condemned, resident evil, fatal frame, etc), but i seriously don't understand how anyone could play this all the way through. i've played all the clock tower games, and even though the graphics in the 3rd installment in the US is superior in graphics, the scare factor in this is incredible. it gets your heart beating like no other. maybe because it's very much like Dario Argento's work.... creepy >.<;;;;
I only found this game scary the first time I played it (which was at 4:00 AM). Of course, there are some times when it still makes me jump, like when Bobby appears in an unusual place, or I see that corpse in the closet of the taxidermist's room.
It would be cool if they actually released this as a download on the PSN. Or at least to get a translated version of this. I have played the SNES ore so I know there are English roms out there but not of this version.
@MatchaCUB It's ok, I realize that it seems a bit weird. What I meant to say was I've played the English rom for SNES but what I'd like to play is the actual first fear game with all the extras added to it. On that same note I wonder if Clock Tower US will get a PSN release as well.
i think the taxidermy room has a purpose in the windows version. for me the thing in coupard never comes alive and i always find the key on the table. am i doing something different?
i wonder if they can remake this game but put it the same with out adding extra features to the game but make the walk movement more easier to control...
@TheLegendofJessica Why, yes, it is. It's the PS1 version of The First Fear, so you could either order it online, pay for it from a pawn shop or friend, or download a PS1 emulator and the game ROM.
OMG! A ZOMBIE!?...someone said that in 1 version you see Jen's mom and shes a zombie...(was that her mom?...probebly not)anyway i thought she was bluffing but...oh wow...*shivers*
nice to know you can actually see what's in the unclickable (in the SNES version) room in the form of this version. i wonder why they would remove the click function though--it's just another bedroom.
I'm so bummed this game was never translated and sold in the U.S.. I've wanted to add this to my collection for so long. The Clock Tower series is truly an epic creation (mainly the first two games). I really want to see a next-gen Clock Tower and the return of Scissorman!
im clearing all the snes endings of this game. neat to see the comparisons to when it first came out on famicom way back and the upgrades on the PS re-release lol, like the corpse in the locker being alive to funny i dont get how the blood and maggot scenes are considered extras since they were in the original and look the same. but great video none the less. cheers!
1, aka The First Fear, is probably the scariest, though the second [released as just Clock Tower in the US] is also supposed to be pretty good. Ghost Head (2 US/3rd JP) I have only heard bad things about... and 4 (Released as Clock Tower 3 in the US) is fairly scary/eerie most of the time, but really overthrows it with the Magical Girl boss battles...
Which is the one with the old man with da big scissors? And the one which has the same graphics and all like that one but with zombies, ghosts and shit? :)
@GarlyleWilds Hauting ground was supposed to be titled as Clock Tower 4. The guy who is remaking remothered should also remake the one for playstation. Hopefully he will add more eerie scenes and situations.
I say the Psx clock tower the one with Edward (Dan) as the scissor man is both the scariest and the best followed by this one. Clock tower 3 had good scares but it really didn't blend in with the first two. Still it's better than Ghost head.
I finished all endings up on the PSX version of this, and discovered a few things. Contrary to what the FAQ on GameFAQs says, you can get the S and A endings with either of the girls alive, and it's actually EASIER with Laura alive, since even hearing Ann scream in this version will screw it up.
Also, my complaints about graphics, sound, and animation do still stand, but the cursor control in this version is smooth and almost painless, so there's at least one good thing about this port.
A few more complaints about this version (now that I finally got the S ending - apparently you have to read the notes on the floor next to your dad in order to get it, unlike in the SFC version, where you just have to look at the bag and the corpse):
- The timing on Scissorman's death is also awkward - he starts going nuts at almost the same time the gears start turning, instead of slightly after
Okay, I just found a site that had this, and I have to say, it's inferior to the SFC version for the following reasons:
- Graphics have crappy PSX dithering
- Music is horrible tinkly MIDI instead of the genuinely creepy music of the original
- Dan's death scene is less dramatic (not only because you see him come back, giving away the next game, but also because the animation and timing are clunkier)
- You can apparently only get the S Ending with Ann alive (Laura must die)
"the sequence after the creature burns (at the end) is not on SNES version, and it was a good idea to include that one"
I disagree. It's better to think the whole drama is over, and I doubt the development team was necessarily counting on a sequel. I suspect that scene was a retcon (since this version came out after CT2JP).
WAIT, I JUST HAD AN IDEA!!! You know how in the original game, there's a door that's always sealed off? And also when you reach the elevator you can't push "1"? I think that door that's sealed off should be the elevator room!!!
It works at certain point if I recall right... or at least, if you could get down in one of the floors (without Mary trying to kill you), you could actually find the collapsing corridor from the mansion (it will always give up as you near it).
The sealed door is included on the PSX version, on the SNES you could not even click it.
If you click '2' on the elevator, knock Mary over, and walk right, you find the collapsing floor.
As for the spare room, what I meant was that it shouldn't have been an extra bedroom, it should have been the first floor room leading to the elevator (it had a first floor switch that was broken).
As for the Elevator Room... the mansion is quite confusing to me (there's a drawing of the map of how it is supposed to be). Finding the logic between room connections is something that somewhat haunted me during the first plays... If this room mentioned before, was to be the elevator room, it needs to be at the height of the "screaming corridor".
Hey. I know I'm replying to this almost an entire year later, but you're right. (I'm Dkongfreak, with a new account). The room connection is eery. If you draw a map of the Barrow's Mansion, you will see that the broken window that drops to the pool should actually be facing the street outside of the mansion. Also, the broken hole at the beginning should be on the other side of the sealed off corridor. Strange indeed.
(It's ok, I always kept this account). The mansion is strangely confusing on this manner. Sometimes the before mentioned rooms trade places.
The limit between the ceiling and 2nd stage floor when the piano room is below (as Bobby is able to hide somewhere up there). I don't see a "main entrance" (unless It's on a dead angle) to the mansion, making the garage the only way out.
I had the impression that this door was an alternate entrance to the West Wing of the Mansion. So, I didn't really mind it for a while (because I remember opening it). Thanks for the observation!!
"As for the spare room, what I meant was that it shouldn't have been an extra bedroom, it should have been the first floor room leading to the elevator (it had a first floor switch that was broken)."
Makes sense to me. Besides, the bonus room is pretty stupid.
I agree, but I think the zombie was a bit over-the-top for this game. I still prefer the SFC version in almost all respects.
BTW, I got the actual cart last week! The battery backup even still works, and the previous owner(s) hadn't yet gotten the S,A,D,E, or F endings, so I had a fair amount to clear. I too love this game.
you can get the dagger in the snes version via gameshark. i think maybe they originally had the zombie attack in the snes version, but took it out cuz it looked lame and was more scary as just a dead body.
The problem with SNES version is that it hasn't got all the things shown in this video: the creature in the closet doesn't wake up (and don't need to kill it with a dagger); the sequence after the creature burns (at the end) is not on SNES version, and it was a good idea to include that one so that you can understand how can Dan Barrows (the creature) be Scissorman in the Clock Tower starred by Jennifer Simpson and Helen Maxwell (PSX). But anyway, all I have to say is that this game rocks!
if you want to play this game, you just need to download an snes emulator and the clock tower rom file. it is fansubbed and looks almost like the psone version
Whats the song at the beginning??????

WAIT, I JUST HAD AN IDEA!!! You know how in the original game, there's a door that's always sealed off? And also when you reach the elevator you can't push "1"? I think that door that's sealed off should be the elevator room!!!

It works at certain point if I recall right... or at least, if you could get down in one of the floors (without Mary trying to kill you), you could actually find the collapsing corridor from the mansion (it will always give up as you near it).
The sealed door is included on the PSX version, on the SNES you could not even click it.

If you click '2' on the elevator, knock Mary over, and walk right, you find the collapsing floor.
As for the spare room, what I meant was that it shouldn't have been an extra bedroom, it should have been the first floor room leading to the elevator (it had a first floor switch that was broken).

Thanks for making it clear. :)
As for the Elevator Room... the mansion is quite confusing to me (there's a drawing of the map of how it is supposed to be). Finding the logic between room connections is something that somewhat haunted me during the first plays... If this room mentioned before, was to be the elevator room, it needs to be at the height of the "screaming corridor".
IceVallejo 2 years ago
Hey. I know I'm replying to this almost an entire year later, but you're right. (I'm Dkongfreak, with a new account). The room connection is eery. If you draw a map of the Barrow's Mansion, you will see that the broken window that drops to the pool should actually be facing the street outside of the mansion. Also, the broken hole at the beginning should be on the other side of the sealed off corridor. Strange indeed.

(It's ok, I always kept this account). The mansion is strangely confusing on this manner. Sometimes the before mentioned rooms trade places.
The limit between the ceiling and 2nd stage floor when the piano room is below (as Bobby is able to hide somewhere up there). I don't see a "main entrance" (unless It's on a dead angle) to the mansion, making the garage the only way out.
IceVallejo 2 years ago
The main entrance is in the first foyer at the beginning. The door to the right that you cannot open is the main entrance.
ETPlayer100 2 years ago
I had the impression that this door was an alternate entrance to the West Wing of the Mansion. So, I didn't really mind it for a while (because I remember opening it). Thanks for the observation!!

Makes sense to me. Besides, the bonus room is pretty stupid.

So, the infamous Knife led into finding the infamous Copper Key for an extra room...
I would love that somebody could "patch" these missing pieces on the SNES version of CT, just to extend the value of the game.

"So, the infamous Knife led into finding the infamous Copper Key for an extra room..."
Nope. The knife led to finding the key to the birdcage. In other words, they made the game a wee bit harder.
Eyedunno 2 years ago
Oh, my confusion, thanks for making things clear.
It's fine if it gets harder... it makes you discover new things and find replay value on trying different situations. I love this game.

"It's fine if it gets harder..."
I agree, but I think the zombie was a bit over-the-top for this game. I still prefer the SFC version in almost all respects.
BTW, I got the actual cart last week! The battery backup even still works, and the previous owner(s) hadn't yet gotten the S,A,D,E, or F endings, so I had a fair amount to clear. I too love this game.

you can get the dagger in the snes version via gameshark. i think maybe they originally had the zombie attack in the snes version, but took it out cuz it looked lame and was more scary as just a dead body.

The problem with SNES version is that it hasn't got all the things shown in this video: the creature in the closet doesn't wake up (and don't need to kill it with a dagger); the sequence after the creature burns (at the end) is not on SNES version, and it was a good idea to include that one so that you can understand how can Dan Barrows (the creature) be Scissorman in the Clock Tower starred by Jennifer Simpson and Helen Maxwell (PSX). But anyway, all I have to say is that this game rocks!

You can find Clock Tower music (of almost all the games) at the "Don't cry Jennifer" fansite, you can google it and download the zips =)
