The Retro Horror Games Iceberg Chart, Ver. 2.0

Please read my notes below for more context. I always take asks about retro horror games, as well. I have at least some experience with most of these. This chart can be used in personal projects or YouTube videos, but please ask me first and do not remove my credits. Thank you.

This is a massive, updated version of an iceberg chart I made. It's intended as a guide for a mostly Western audience (and preservationists) to discover more of these games, not as a 100% accurate ranking. So don't worry about my placements too much, just check out the games that sound interesting to you.

NOTES: -Games on lower tiers like Aoi Shiro or Mizzurna Falls have notable fanbases, but were placed there because, since they did not get official ports outside of their home country, they will not be as well-known or can be harder to find physical copies of.

-PC and console games only. Focus is on the 90s and 2000s because that's more my area of expertise.

-I've included a couple of non-horror games like Chulip, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Majora's Mask due to their horror aesthetics or close ties to the genre. As a collector, I always feel it's better to include more rather than less, and these games seem at home here.

EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!!

This is NOT an Incredibox related post..

I AM CALLING ALL THE AIR MARTY ENJOYERS SCATTERED ACROSS THE WORLD OF THE WEB!!! SOMEONE?? ANYONE?? WE NEED TO GIVE THIS GAME A FANDOM! I REPEAT; WE NEED TO GIVE THIS GAME A FANDOM!! I SIMPLY CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE! MYLES DESERVES THE LOVE AND APPRECIATION FOR HIS SILLY LITTLE GAME!! IF LISA GOT RECOGNITION, SO WILL AIR MARTY, I AM DYING ON THAT HILL!

Anybody who is hyperfixated on it as me? Anybody who won't just brush it off as something X YouTuber played and move on? Anybody who cares enough?? Let's gather around and contribute to the community!

LET US REVIVE AIR MARTY!

Look, I'm just extremely desperate and willing to try anything at this point. I just GOTTA find the legendary Air Marty enjoyers since it seems like we are one of a kind these days.

The Air Marty fandom is dead. Repost if you're a true Martyr!

I'm not dead. Hi.

I wanted to draw some characters I don't really see much fanart of online from some obscure games nobody cares about!

Anyway I will be spending [LONG PERIOD OF TIME] in a [DESOLATE PLACE THAT SMELLS] performing [SOME RANDOM SPELL THAT SOUNDS IMMORAL].

Sometimes I remember that most of the games I love are extremely obscure and at most have five other people in the fandom.

Anyways, do anyone else knows about 140, THOTH, HoB, OCTAHEDRON: Transfixed Edition, THUMPER, VVVVVV, Billie Bust Up, NERVE (Gunfish Games), TY the Tasmanian Tiger, Owlboy and/or JUMPGRID?

Artwork / print ad for Moonlight Syndrome for PS1, from my stash of retro horror preservation stuff. The Twilight and Moonlight Syndrome games were a Japan-exclusive, but you'll likely recognize Human as the creators of Clock Tower. These are very similar to that series.
