The art design of Marathon 1 (1994) was inspired by the Alien movies, so the whole thing was spoopy. The Hunters were the most intimidating, while the transparency-cloaked Compilers and low-flying kamikaze bugs called Lookers gave me the most paranoia and jumpscares. But the scariest thing in the game was the too-quiet dark corridors.
