Ways to Die: Uninvited (Nes) 

Nothing comes out because you forgot to open the jar. That's just the kind of bullshit I remember adventure games for.

This game has a great sense of humor. The spider death made me laugh hard. I can just imagine a narrator shouting "well WHATTAYA KNOW, A GIANT SPIDER!"

The original version had better text. "The strange woman turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess."

"The screaming apparition's misty form engulfs you, and you become covered in a thick, sticky goo." I've seen enough hentai to know where this is goi- "It's acid!" Nevermind.

I laughed when the eagle carried away the snake but then comes after you because it was still hungry.

This is the only game where I can say I was murdered by Skeltor cosplaying as a Victorian woman

'OH!!! As you were fooling around, the axe slipped out of your hand.' OH NO!! Axe cut you!! You're really bleeding!! It looks like you're going to die here!' lol I liked some of the NES versions stuff better than the original, like eating the fruit plant makes you age super fast like the plant aged. and how you could actually talk to the O'Hara ghost and zombie hordes and they would reply.

I got a Axe.....and now what I do? oh yeah, Im using the Axe on sel.... *ded*

"OH NO!! AXE CUT YOU!! YOU'RE REALLY BLEEDING!!" "OH NO!! KNIFE 1 CUT YOU!! YOU'RE REALLY BLEEDING!!" "OH NO!! KNIFE 2 CUT YOU!! YOU'RE REALLY BLEEDING!!"

Lol....most ppl die 1st, THEN go into the coffin

I remember this being a lot more terrifying. This made me burst out laughing

That 9:42 death is very underrated. “Most people die first and then go into a coffin.”

Oh no. One normal cat. Whatever shall I do. I guess i'll die.

@7:08 😂😂😂. I love how the game warns you repeatedly to not go down there (a welcome hint in these games) and then it sarcastically snaps at you for going into the spider pit 😂

I like how Dracan's supposed to be this insanely powerful wizard and all he uses on your character is YEET

the text leaves a lot to your imagination

Man, this game's way scarier when you're 5 years old and you don't know what the shit you're doing. Hearing the death music all these years later still puts me on edge though. It's almost Pavlovian or something.

I love how Scarlett O'Hara has the most cheerful music in the game and it's the second threat you face.

"...In the shape of a classic ghost..." Something about that line always made me laugh, and still does.

Imagine that you're a kid playing this game in 1990x. You are alone in a dark room. You are horrified by the game's atmosphere. Your controller is slipping out of your hands. And then.... THERE'S A SKELETON FACE IN TE SCREEN. Guaranteed shock.

The 'knife 1' death was scarier than the 'knife 2' death...

No, you aren't SUPPOSED to take the ruby. Consider it a trap. Other versions of the game did have the same fate as if you took the ruby but there was no ruby to take. It was just entering the house that started the curse on you.

the fucking spider one just feels so passive aggressive I love it

I agree. I have been having nightmares for weeks because of Knife 1. Knife 2 barely even made me scream.

Am I the only one who finds games like this and 'De Ja Vu' creepy? From the text, to the animation to the music they are scary as hell! I know if I played this as a kid I would have had nightmares! God bless Super Mario! Lol

When Skeletor's wife is genuinely more creepy than anything else in this game.

Well what do you know. It's a giant spider.

The utter sass when you keep trying to enter the spider pit "Wow, amazing idea, dipshit. Guess what? REAAALLY BIG SPIDER."

Something about these old graphics really creeps me out. More so than modern horror games.

Damn, those dogs look pissed!!

i love how much deaths there are there's pretty much one for every situation so you have to be so cautious like "i'm gonna step? what if the floor below me collapses and i fall to a pit of spikes? but what if i don't? will something come and kill me if i wait for too long?"

I feel that certain self-inflicted item deaths like the rapid-aging fruit are there so you don't bite yourself into an unwinnable situation.

That music used to terrify the shit out of me when I was a 7 year old kid

This eerie and disturbing game scared me back in 1991. Uninvited caused me sheer terror the first way I died. By the hands of the Southern Belle who immediately rips me apart while I am frozen in horror...

"Cheap" huh? The NES version is the only one that you can actually avoid dying in that way by just not doing something. In all other versions, you are timed and will get that death WITHOUT ever getting the ruby.

What ungodly time signature is that non-ruby related death music?

You really dont want to climb down there There is a spider down there that's bigger than a bread box Well what do you know its a giant spider Me: Im dying XD

"You feel a force taking over your mind. You know that it is not your own." I mean...would a person be taking over their own mind via their own force?

“Most people die first, then go into a coffin.” The shade!!!!

One crucial way to avoid death is not to take the ruby.

6:42 "You really don't want to climb down there. There is a spider down there that's bigger than a bread box." (click) "You really don't want to climb down there. Really, that spider is bad news. Don't try to go down there!!" (click) "You really don't want to go down there. The spider that's down there would rip you to shreds." (CLICK) "Well, what do you know. It's a giant spider." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is his sister worth going through all these troubles?

My stepdad rented this for me when I was 8. When the Ghost Belle showed up, I freaked out and NOPED out of the game before approaching her. That was smart of me. Because I'd replay it at the age of 15, and it scared the shit out of me.

7:07 - I love how the game basically mocks you for entering the giant spider's lair despite the multiple warnings of not going down there.

To be honest, these cutscenes weren't THAT scary to me after all. Pretty gruesome but not enough against "mindless beast Jennifer" from Splatterhouse 3.

"Oh no!! Knife 1/2 cut you!!"

Take a drink every time the player dies.

I purposely would do stupid things to hear the "death music." For some reason it cracks me up.

oh no! knife 2!

Despite having basic interactions, this game feels way creepier than almost all horror games of today. The eerie and unsettling 8-bit soundtrack, as well as making you feel like you're the protagonist in game. With each death being written in a basic creepy manner which makes you feel you're feeling like what the text says is what it defines it. A definite masterpiece of the 80s, hands down!

WTF??!!! "MY PRECIOUS"??!!! AT 80-...?!!

I skip many rooms and I am glad I am watching this because I just found a walktrough and it was more like a speedrun. :( I did not go to all of the rooms it seems. By the way the zombie horde on 8:46 is the best one for me!

I love the endless loop death theme, can someone do a 10 hour extended version of it? LOL. :)

1:10 Legend has it they never forgot to open bottles before using them again 😂

actually, you can get rid of it in the courtyard, where you can see the greenhouse, the church and the other building, just pick it up, and drop it at the grass

You REALLY don't want to go down there. There's a spider that's bigger than a breadbox...

Dracan looks like Sid Haig from The Devils Rejects

My aunt found out the hard way that you had to open the no ghost bottle before you used it lol

i like this compilation because you didnt put some shitty music over the whole thing.

LOL I just can't unsee how much the southern belle looks like a red haired Brook from One Piece..she USED to horrify me as a kid..

awww that skeleton "smiling" fiendishly at you will always make me laugh.

I finally freaking found it. YES!!!!!!!

02:47 This next few seconds perfectly describes how you feel at work

Yeah, that's the reason, but DOSBox can't fix it. I had thought of that, but this game was completely re-programmed to work just on Windows. If you try DOSBox it just says, "This program requires Microsoft Windows."

Distinctly remember the moment @1:12. When trying to use the No ghost and the bottle isn't open.

That's what can happen not listening to warnings and taking the essential items to get of those creepy demons Disregard for safety leads to fatal consequences

6:28 Ghost: Now Your Asses Mine Prick

i always forget that this game is so silly, it's hardly even really horror as much as it is comedy at some points

What, if anything, happens if you try to use the Spider Cider or pesticide on the giant spider?

Dude your in a haunted house!!! Move it move it move it!!!

Just watch one of the numerous playthroughs of the game. It's pretty innovative for it's time.

That's because the other games were designed to have a time limit to them, similar to Shadowgate and the torches. The NES version took the time limit away, but turned it into an item you not only don't need, but kills you in a smaller time span than what the original game's time limit was.

I love how the game patronizes your character if you cut yourself with the axe or knife, as if saying “Oh, wow, you cut yourself real badly; well, that sucks. I guess you’re going to die, too bad for your sister, if only her sibling wasn’t so stupid.” 😂

0:46 "bro I'm dead" -💀

You're screwed.

everything rips your face of in this game XD

The reality of the drowning one is that the bathroom would collapse and probably destroy 70% of the house

I love the Univited. :D

winrar is best. you can use it to unzip any file.

Nothing. It's just a trap.

This is the only vid of this game thats the same one i remember. It was so scary 😅 😢 but so fun

7:06 Spider death

DOS, I just can't find it legitimately for sale anywhere and no one I know has it so I can borrow it. I bought the Windows version, but it won't play on my 64 bit computer, even in compatability mode.

When someone is caught cheating on their partner, the death music plays out.

Does Fry Pan work on self?

What sorts of issues are you having with the DOS and Windows versions?

So, the Ruby its like the doll in Silent Hill 4? A trap item?

ohhh, you got the third one in! Nice!

It's all fun and games until Dracan wakes up.

This game used to scare me as a kid. Play the same time it was funny.

Now i know where the cursed series was inspirated by for.

Maybe the Windows version of the game is too old to work for the newer OS. Space Quest has the same thing, and using DosBox fixes the issue.

I assume you're using an emulator. As far as I know, emulators don't require that the game is unzipped. I'm sure there are other people who know more about this than I do though.

I love these kinds of horror games! XD

A scene from a "Living Dead" film? Better hope George A. Romero doesn't sue your heinie!

GOD DAMN SCARLET! WHERE'S TREE FIDDY?!

That last one is nightmare inducing!

I still can't believe you forgot the rubber ducky, you monster!
