| Retro Gaming Gets Some Paranormal Activity for Halloween - Featuring Haunted House for the Atari 2600 Oct 31st 2011, 22:54  It's Halloween! Time for the spooks and spirits to crawl out of the grave for some tricks and treats, and what better way to celebrate the most ghostly night of the year with a retro gaming tribute to haunted houses, featuring games about Haunted Houses!
- Haunted House for the Atari 2600 - The most famous retro horror game, often credited with being the first in the survival horror genre has you scouring the creepy mansion of Victor Graves as you search for pieces of a long lost urn while trying to avoid vampire bats, tarantulas and the ghost of Graves himself!
- Haunted House for the Magnavox Odyssey - The very first horror game came packaged with the very first video game console. With player one as a detective investigating a spooky mansion and player two as the ghost haunting it, this is the only horror game that combines a video game game with a plastic TV screen overlay and playing cards.
- Sweet Home for Famicom (aka Nintendo Entertainment System) - The gore filled supernatural RPG based on the J-horror flick by the same name was the inspiration for Resident Evil.
- Mystery House for the Apple II - The first graphical adventure may not have ghosts, but it sure has a spooky mansion as players try to track down a murderer offing all of their houseguests.
