Scrabs scared the shit out of me when I first played AO. Especially because the first one you encounter in the Stockyards kills a mudokon as soon as you enter the screen, then goes to jump on it and then eats it. I was like... ZOMG!!!!!!!

SO.TRUE. I remember playing this game for the first time in a demo, when I got my playstation, sometime in 1998, when I was 6.
I'ts true that AO has that sense of a new, strange and scary world. Probably the only videogame that actually gave me a sense of discovering a alien world.
Something that wasn't terrorizing but was a bit scary to look at at first. Well, for a 6 year old anyway. It was really like entering a dark new world.
I had 2 demos that came with the psx and I remember being scared of 3 4 things:
Medievil's intro (I had nightmares
)
Lifeforce Tenka (quake-like shooter, I couldn't move out of the spawning spot, I was too afraid to go on)
Q-something game with cubes (forgot the name but it was a game were you were in a black space and cubes would immediately try to swash you!)
and Abe's Oddisee.
I remember staring at that black screen, waiting to heard those strange animal sounds from the intro.
And don'te even talk to me about the first room xD. Man, I was soo scared that I would miss the jump and that that slig would catch me!!
