Inspired by the movie thread.
What video/computer games gives you that BoC feel?
I'd say...Zork Nemesis (geogaddi) also, the myst series do alot.

The first Silent Hill? A lot of the older Atari/NES games too, no specific names come to mind at the moment though. It's funny, last night I was thinking about starting a thread exactly like this. Good work Cupz.

Not a problem dude.
I thought of a few NES titles that remind me of boc..
-The Immortal - Weird isometric view game...I think it was a PC port.
-Castlevania II-Always creeped me out as a kid, haha.
Also, Golden Axe on Sega Genesis has a semi-boc feel. And the game Out of This World is another one...it was on Sega and SNES..and I think PC.

The old NES game, Faxanadu
Also, Tetris... because I've played it every fucking day for the last 3 years while listening to BOC.

Faxanadu for certain. Also there's a couple Mega Man levels that have a bit of a boccish feel, Air Man to name one. And that first Dr. Wily level in Mega Man 2, to name a second.

Ico is probably the most Boards of Canadaesque game ever.

solstice for nes.
the colour scheme, the extremely odd music, characters and overall style of the game. Lovely weirdness and a great game.

Yeah, I've got the rom too. I still play it every once in a while... while remembering being a kid. I remember I was playing it one day in the middle of winter while the snow was falling. That was really cool.

8 Eyes for NES. When I first heard House Of Abin'adab, I was instantly reminded of how the levels in 8 Eyes were called Houses.
For some reason a lot of the old BOC reminds me of old NES games.

I've never heard of this 8 Eyes game. It looks very much like Castlevania from what I read/see on Wikipedia...which, as I think I mentioned earlier, is a great boc-ish game

On FF9
the map/field music kinda sounds like "5.9.78" from "A Few Old Tunes Vol 1"
