What games give you that BoC feeling?

Another vote for Ico. Spent quite a bit of time listen to MHTRTC whilst playing that...

I just realized today...Super Metroid! Or the original Metroid works too...I should throw on Geogaddi while I play it, haha.

But the in-game music alone has that old creepy feel.

I just started playing Ico and I totally agree! Maybe also Shadow of the Colossus, which I have not played but hope to start sometime soon.

I actually only own NES so for that I'd have to say Kirby's Adventure. It's pretty childlike and a the levels are a little trippy (Ice Cream Island, Orange Ocean, and Rainbow Resort!?... hmm sounds kind of like BOC songs).

That's the only NES one I can think of for some reason though.

I would have to say all of them. Especially Silent Hill 2. ICO and Shadow of The Colossus is a good choice too.

I've recently been playing the Oblivion Shivering Isles expansion pack with all my BoC randomizing, it fits the new area kind of well.

Also, I first listened to mhtrtc while playing Cythera, some sharware ambrosia mac game.

Games like myst have a boc feel sometimes, but I almost feel like sawII fits it better.

Can't believe no-one's suggested this one before

Clicky for enlarged (but still not that great quality) image.

EDIT: god damnit this forum hates the shit out of me and my HTML tags

Enjoy the oversized image, courtesy of it-won't-let-me-resize-the-damn-thing.

EDIT AGAIN: nevermind, now the forum sized it down for me, but it did a crummy job

Earthbound ate away a few years of my youth

I used to play Might and Magic VII while listening to the old-tunes...witch involves alot of traveling, and it feels very epic...

fucking looooved that game!!!

my vote also goes for metroid. maybe the also the phantasy star games for the genesis. and maybe not the gameplay but some of the locales in the wipeout series have a very BOC feel to me. oh yeah. and myst!

That photo is not going to come out good....look where her fingers are...

Thats right...Fatal Frame II

Although extremely japanese, and a maybe a little to scary...
But with the screen going all messed up...grain and shit...gotto remind you of BoC
