Creepy in the 8-bit kind of way . . .
This is the old-school Nintendo classic, "Shadowgate."
Way back in the day before those "Internets" were even a glimmer in Al Gore's eye, we had to clank in cartridges like these to find creepy music, interesting puzzles and strange atmospheres in which to skulk.
I understand that "Shadowgate" is available in other forms on other platforms, but it isn't so simple to reproduce those feelings we all enjoyed the first time.
As someone who is still interested in playing games (but not investing as much times in it as before), I sometimes wonder if there are many new games that could give me the chills again. Is it possible to get back the newness of the challenge and a spine-tingling mystery?
Any ideas? I'm open for a new challenge . . .

The new games give the chills just as good as the old ones. Why just yesterday, I was creeping around a vampires' lair on a quest to defeat an entire band of them. The dungeon, lighting, and sound effects of the whole ordeal gave me the willies, and I loved it.
Now I know you dont have a 360, but when the Wii comes out, I think you should give the new Zelda a chance. It looks amazing, and judging by how much time they've spent on it, it should be great.
