Alone in the Dark 1 - Intro

[TheIndiana212]

the frog should be the new screamer popup

[pyramidhead138]

this is exactly how I played the game, no music, THATS what made it so scary. music is like the invisible actor.

[Rokimoki]

what arguments does he has to go that far away upstairs?

[RXN54]

the best graphics I've seen. My God it seems so real

[ElLatino]

first game to ever scare me! this was what made me love survival horror!

[ZRFtheNextGen]

I'm like, trying to watch it from the opposite side of the room, just in case, I HATE sudden things...

[ZRFtheNextGen]

Is this scary? I'm afraid to watch it, too many excorcist pranks. Oh my GOD, I scare WAY to easily...

[ickybonesss]

AH much better sound tracks in this then the other one I watched.

[UndercovaVibez671]

hey its the pringles guy!!!!!

[wildpinksalmon]

It was on psone?

[ChristonandFrancis28]

@wildpinksalmon No, just PC, MAC and I think 3DO. Alone in the dark 2 was this first one to hit PSX

[tediju]

it was a brilliant game for its time. played in in 1995 the first time and it was great.

couldnt get too far in the game though. love the scary hands in the window that is waiting for our hero.

[KanamiYuuta]

I PLAYED THIS WHEN CHILD!!!!! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE NAME HAHA

[Vittumainen]

I remember playing this as a kid. Couldn't get past the attic;not scared, just didn't know what to do after blocking the trapdoor and the window. And i never saw the intro either. Just a screen with monsters looking at the house and probably something about a book being read aloud.

[roeas29]

I think the guy's face was the scariest part of the video

[Hakudoshy1]

A epic classic.

[SuperVasco117]

What is this for? An old Sega console or PC????

[m15granger]

@SuperVasco117 It's on PC/Mac/& 3D0 console ... not for sure which version this is. Alone in the Dark 2 was ported over to consoles (3D0, Saturn, PSX).

[Duke4ever96]

0:20 OH SHIT!!!!

[1182061]

how long is this game?

[SuperDrunkMoose]

@1182061 quite long as the game is quite hard

[thejobloshow]

The 3D effects and augmented reality technology on the 3DS reminded me of the 3D environments of older games like this one. Interesting, in so far of hinting at what the mainstream will be like in ten years, but still far from refinement.

[theseus27]

This is one of my favourite classic horror games for the PC.Only problem I have now is that it doesn't work on my XP anymore!! :(

A shame that I didn't complete it before it stopped working.

Compatibility problems I think!! :(

[jmjmartin]

@theseus27 Hi there, If you want to play this again; Look up 'Dos-box'.....

It's a Dos emulator for older games. I run it on Vista, I'm fairly sure you can run it on XP.

Good Luck....

John

[theseus27]

@jmjmartin That's brilliant!! Many thanks for that mate! :)

[jmjmartin]

@theseus27 No worries mate! I had to tinker a little bit to get it to work, but if you read some of the dos-box forums, there are instructions and peeeps are always willing to help...Let me know how you get on pal :-)

[theseus27]

@jmjmartin Cheers! I haven't got much time at the moment to try it out, but if I get stuck in anything I will let you know. Thanks again! :D

[gabrielgent]

que recuerdos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SmartK8]

The only game I didn't finished because of general scariness. ,':-O

[sliverstarX42]

Is this a PC game, or different platform?

[shamrock8806]

Just proves that a game does not need to look scary in order to be scary.And also I don't think you should have had a choise of two characters in the game,because it's called ALONE in the dark.Just voicing my opinion.

[TheTurnipKing]

@shamrock8806 Both characters ARE alone. You get one _or_ the other. However, it does allow you to choose the protagonist who interests you most, which can only serve to immerse you in the game.

[Therealguymins]

My brother has this on his 3DO. :D

[freepartyanimal69]

It's the scariest game ever. No kidding!

[ZeinW]

Wow, it´s even older than Silent Hill 1. I came looking for this game since I completed it recently and loved it. Can you recommend this game?

[HaNyuuMaru]

0:19

Lol the frogs like: Hey! 8D

[anchounio]

bad emulation. Too fast and no music

[haoliver1]

@anchounio its classic scary as hell

[leonhart423]

was waiting to hear "Zuul motherfucker Zuul!"

[Kainlarsen]

Starring Wilfred Brimley as Carnby!

You check your blood-sugar, and you check it often!

[Salalala100]

So olddd I remember playing this in my grandmas house when I was like 8... it was so scary...

[mendigo731]

Um dos melhores clássicos! Excelente jogo

[xRH84x]

lol funny grafics but cool game, I have alone in the dark 5 ;-)

[revbian]

I remember the intro playing a soundtrack, not all the sound effects you hear in this clip.

brilliant game though.

[ogwazzo]

I fucking loved this game when it came out. This and D are where resident evil and Silent hill got their ideas.

[AsimisterMT]

this frog is scary xD

[MRSBA7]

q juegaso q era este

[heartx3jess]

Remeber when the monster came out of the toilet? Its been like 15 years and i'm STILL scared to pee.

[UtubeH8tr]

i remember playing this when i was 3 god the number 1 and two series scarred the shit outta me

[MStaceyface]

1.48 lol pause that - terrible face - lol dont know what ppl are saying - it was shit even for 1992 - only had to wait a few months later and res evil 1 was out- infinitly better - this game was horrendous

[MajorStupido]

@MStaceyface

Alone in the Dark = 1992

RE 1 = 1996

3D was not so common back in 92, you know :P They didn't use any textures in AitD.

[MStaceyface]

ah - for some reason i remember playing alone in the dark once for 5 mins, burying my face in a pillow to scream when i couldnt get past the first screen - then res evil being next -my memory must be fragmented-

[Duke4ever96]

@MStaceyface Alone in the dark was in 1992 and

Resident evil was in 1996 yeeeeees a few months

[halo9449]

Ahhh, the good old days... sweet memories of game series' Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil (before it got turned into an action game in RE4)... Where have all the good times gone?

Been years since I've seen games like this that focus on suspense scares rather than relying solely on cheap jump scares.

[Lilchan20]

@halo9449 i agree, this game was amazing. i used to watch my mother play this game when i was 3yrs old and it used to spook me to death lol

[MRSBA7]

you saw your mother playing this?, omg now im feeling OLD

[schlumbl84]

It scared me when I was a kid. I used to watch my dad playing it and even the sounds freaked me out! Nice to see it again after so many years.

[Evenwave]

oh my goood i was 7 years old and I was so scared :D best game ever

[WaffyFromBari]

without music this game is different.. the soundtrack by philippe vachey was fantastic

[Psykoemo94]

Mdr c'est terrible dans le temps on s'éclatait en jouant a ce jeu culte pour moi et quand on voit ca maintenant c'est une pure m*****

[halowars987]

Alone in the dark new nightmare is my favorite.

[utunnels]

Too bad you didn't record the music.

:(

Still awesome though.

[sin1987runescape]

i have the music on my version i have captured for youtube

[tubeyess]

best game ever

[unfoldingdarkness]

holly shit!!! a frog haahahaha XD

[jokre4]

diras megabytes, en mi vida habia visto este juego... pensaba q el primero fue el de la Ps1

[silenthillmaster755]

Lol I like how his outfit matches his car and the wall paper in the house!

[Fantomas612]

i remember opening up the computer to swtich the little shit to change irq to 5 instead of 7 for a game. wtf

[vojtasjedyny]

"In the begining was Alone in the Dark...". First modern survival horror game - forefather of the whole genre. This revolutionary game is absolutely briliant in every aspect.

[soraay]

My first game ever and god I loved it sooo much. The music was very scary.

[GHOSTSALIENS]

This game is so groundbreaking. Survival horror at its finest.

[SaruWaza]

That freaking frog scared the shit out of me.

[Yhdyssanakoe]

hahaha! I laughed so hard when the frog popped in the screen XD

[Amnesiaah]

Dam I miss this game I used to play it when I was little :P

[markzi009]

if u miss the game, get the playstaytion emulator and download it

[ZekketheSkrap]

lol "Ah , Uh !!!"

[erickvso]

he knows how to fight

[Yiqain]

@ZekketheSkrap this is it ! aahhhh uh!! xD old school game

[raistlin072]

DMA's and IRQs LMAO. I forgot what a pain in the ass things could be back then! I would love to play these old games again.

[Tom238]

??? 0:53 what is that??wolfman??

[therealenkc]

Yeah, fight that attic!

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

the only thing that drags this game down is the slow gameplay.if only it had the game play of the sequel,it would been a perfect game!

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

lol,imagine carnby in gta 4 instead of niko bellic:)anyway,truly the best survival horror & the creepiest game ever!

[locke778]

lool really nice graphics what for a year?? 1750??

[mgold08]

1750 hehe we has a noob.

[UponTheDawn]

You fucked up idiot. Respect the classics.

[23nemi23]

@UponTheDawn

ya from this game the world comes to know what survival horror game means.Not a commercial success as resientevil but it is the mother of all survival horror game.

[raistlin072]

I played this on a 486 DX2. It was 66MHZ. I thought I was the shit. LOL

I remember buying my first soundblaster just for this game!!

[WhoreGotShot]

great graphics

[yummymayo]

this game was amazing. my friend and i would always jump when that eerie music would queue randomly. a really awesome game

[yoshua1994]

OMG the Grafic ^^

[PancovilioForever]

Yea i remember i play this on 3D0-)))))))))))))) Legendary game

[TheMrfabinblack]

Nice game i played it when i was like 7 with my brother :P

[frankytap]

one thing i dont understood about this game... why does he go all the way up to the attic ? maybe im missing something here

[Xarfax321]

well, there is some light there.... Perhaps he is searching for someone?

[ShiftBlade]

If I remember correctly, somebody sent him to the mansion to retrieve a piano. I guess he figured it would be in the attic.

[Saga102]

hey upload the "Now give me my stone!!" quote, plz

[bananarama666]

How it goes:

Alone in the Dark ---> a few years ---> Resident Evil ---> the whole genre

[sam08765]

SHIT..1.48 you scare me so much..

[apodz]

damn frog!

[Spot300395]

haha

[Ethaninja]

1:48 scared the crap outa me :P

[Ethaninja]

How do you get this game to run on a new machine? I tried Dos Box but I get shitty sound etc, or no sound at all.

[Locke217]

It's hard... even with dosbox...

[Ethaninja]

Aight, damn. Cheers anyway.

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

CREEPIEST GAME...

[PolishMark]

The music on Cd-version was amazing.

[ELSPAMEADOR]

oh noes! this is the most terrible game that i have looked in my live!! that's very scary!! and yes ,scary frog and scary hands of the windowuf ,i close the vid because this night i don't sleep....i have the game for wii and that's very good in my opinion ,sorry for my english ,in catalonia...nope...

[MetalMagnaCarta]

I generally hate YouTube comments, but I will make one myself because this game means a lot to me.

Alone in the Dark may not be the "first" survival horror game, but it pioneered the genre in terms of atmosphere and graphics, as well as great storytelling. The horror comes not from fighting off monsters with guns, but by preying on sanity, recounting the works of Lovecraft about races from beyond this world unimaginable by man's limited consciousness.

Insantiy is scarier than anything.

[lesaubergines]

It's so funny to look back on games like this that were probably terrifying then, but not scary at all now.

[cux70]

OUUUUUH at 0:50 .... LOL

[KingdomHeartsVids18]

i was scared by the frog at the beginning XD

[SarahGaafar]

LOL SO WAS I.

[KingdomHeartsVids18]

scary frog xD

[akjjyglc123]

a clasic!!!

[fuckxoffxandxdie]

when I was a kid, a friend of mine had this game... and i was scared a lot ... Now it's the second time i'll see it. I'm really scared. ( I didn't click start already ). Good Luck for me, I don't want to make nightmares... ( i'm getting really nervous )

[BloodxxNxxChains]

How old are you...?

[fuckxoffxandxdie]

19 years old... XD XD

and it's not scary at all XD

[yousini]

don't breed.

[ChibiCandi]

Same! I'm 20 and my dad used to play this - I remember the clown bit from the 2nd one. Obviouslynot that scary now but I wouldnt want to play it xD

[basilbrushbaby]

i remember this game it scared me shitless,especially when the monster comes through the window,i used to keep kicking him in the bollocks,but it didnt get me anywhere,and the ballroom was freaky too.

[DaNiCaRaCoW]

mmm me acuerdo perfectamente de este juego cuando jugaba de pequeño...entonces me daba un monton de miedo.

Recuerdo que una vez empezado el juego, en el ático, tenias que poner el armario cubriendo la ventana, y el baúl sobre la trampilla, si no queria que te viniera una especie de pajaro, o almeno a mi siempre me parece un pajaro, y un zombie

[Artimus08]

So many memories of this awesome original game (during its time) as a kid. Loved part 2 as well. Thanks for posting this.

[AffieKnows]

haha wtf is this

[Kitsune44X]

It is Edward, but not the one you know. The original trilogy involved a private detective named Edward Carnby who was as human and as mortal as you or I. Starting with "Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare," the games took a much different turn in an attempt to revive the series, but the newer games are only barely related to the original games, and share nothing in terms of storyline (although I hear that the most recent game TRIES to connect the new Carnby to the old one).

[michamaru]

thats not alone in the dark

[Kitsune44X]

Au contrare- in the truest sense, this definitely IS "Alone in the Dark." There are newer games which are loosely related to this (and the other two games in the original trilogy), but this is the real deal. God, the memories :P

[Conkerdeath]

AH UW

[ARKUENE]

Fight the trunk! hehe!

[warlockboyburns]

how do i get this game to work on xp?

[qwasdninja]

download dosbox

[AkwkyAkass]

Hey! Where is the music?? :(

[tugabo]

thank you...nostalgia...

[DemolitionLovers905]

this ame freaked me out when i was a lad

[LordEmilous]

played it when I was little, a really weird game it was ^^

[tyzereon]

OMG! Best fight sceen ever.

[queencheetah88]

damn, i luv tha game when i was a litle girl. where can i get it??

[autk42t]

I'm pretty sure it's abandonware now, so you can probably just download it legally. Just search for it! ;)

[Metalsonic2008]

abadonware? wtf im lookin at that site right now! ok i search for it!

[Locke217]

abandonia has it, but I don't think the sound works...

[Yayyyooo]

Abandonware? Could you please tell me how I access this website? :)

[autk42t]

Abandonware means that the distributor gave up the rights to the game so you can freely download it. There are numerous sites that you can download abandonware games from, just do a search for "Alone in the Dark abandonware" on any search engine.

[kevo84]

that was hardcore

[S4YFUCK4L0T]

rofl

That is a fucking ancient game. I remember when I was little that my brother used to play it all the times...LOL!

[ElPeruanoUFO]

The Pentium I 60mhz was released that year I suppose it worked well with the 3D graphics.

[RO10SA]

xD AitD 1 vs AitD5 ?:D::D:D:

[CosinusPW]

To: xxBodomHateCrewxx

No, you're very wrong indeed, Final Fantasy is older than Sweet home, which was published 1989 in Japan, but FF came out in Japan 1987

Why do I respond to this one year after? Because I don't like don't-know-it-all-geeks like you, especially 'cause you're shitting on Final Fantasy. If it means bringing this bloody lame conversation up again, I've made my point, FF is the mother of all RPGs, not some 'Sweet home' game based on a horror movie.

[therednurse]

This game still scares me. I wish they would either re-release it or remake it for a current gen console.

[fienno]

It looks really bad in a good way. The graphics were good at the time i suppose

[snaged911]

You know what someone whould do, they should have normal everday alone in the dark 1, BUT, make it so it supports like up to 4 or so people in multiplayer, and they could all start at different parts of the mansion and what not :) That would be sweet

[ayamehedley]

its like runescape xD

[snaged911]

cept better :p Too me, and not multiplayer :(

It was made in 1992, and one of the first, if not the first, games to be in 3D.

[Lm3ntz]

but is this guy also edward carnaby?

[portuguesebastard21]

Incredible he knows exactly where to go. The most scaring factor in these games is that ur completely alone and there's something that doesnt me to continue the game

[portuguesebastard21]

This reminds me of Runescape XD

[cpowlus]

This game used to scare the hell out of me when i was a kid

[bumblebeemarcos]

clasics¡

[Darkstar8965]

The best one is DOSBox. Its Open source, so its free. Just search it up on google. I use it all the time. :P

[SeanLFC12]

rofl

[SAClassHunterZero]

It's hard for me to believe a game like this could be scary, but... it really is. Living proof that graphics aren't everything, I guess.

[quasar953]

Dang! For 1992 and a MAC the graphics are pretty good!

[Vofis]

And for 3DO ;)

[quasar953]

yep

[vid30king]

lol i swear you was ment to push the closet infront of the window and the chest over that whole in the floor i cant remeber i was so young when i played that game. Such a good game used to love it

[Kuba2010]

i remember this game i love old games I and II part its the best to saga games "Alone In The Dark".

[ITOMIC85]

Man. You can EASILY see how this game influenced Resident Evil.

[Gozuki88]

Yeah, but theres a game made by capcom in 89 that truly inspired resident evil. its called sweet home. its cool, but it was never released outside of japan.

[ITOMIC85]

I know. But it wasn't 3D. This was the first 3D survival horror game. Fixed Cameras. "peekabo" moments. This influenced RE just as much IMHO.

[Gozuki88]

Yeah. This was such a scary game when it first game out...I had nightmares about giant rats and zombies that clicked.

[chvilla]

i kno ut i was just sayin

[chvilla]

lol looks like runescape
