Step into the polygonal shoes of Edward Carnby (or Emily Hartwood, if you're feeling bold) in Alone in the Dark, the grandfather of survival horror games. Released in 1992 for DOS, it throws you into a haunted mansion filled with wobbly monsters, creepy ambiance, and tank controls that feel like you're steering a refrigerator through a minefield. But hey, for its time, it was groundbreaking - 3D graphics, fixed camera angles, and enough atmosphere to make you forget the graphics were roughly three steps above Minecraft. This is the kind of game where the piano might kill you. Literally.
