What game gave you a real good jump scare?

The title says it all.

For me many come to mind, but in my honest of opinions, nothing beats Doom 3's opening a door and a imp jumps at you like he's saying "SURPRISE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥", which I admit those types of jump-scares are quite common in Doom 3, part of the reason why it was not as good as it predecessors.

Doom 3 did give me jump scares as well. I was a teenager the first time I played it ( got it as a bday present 2 years after its release, one of the best gifts I ever got ) and I always played it in the night.
Then there are older games I had on the playstation such as Silent Hill 1, Resident Evil 3 and Alone in the Dark : new nightmare which almost made me pee in my pants. Metal Gear Solid was scary too for me when I was a kid. I don't know why, but the place before you fight psycho mantis really creeped the ♥♥♥♥ outta me. Especially the music. I had nightmares about that one. And the game's atmosphere in general was really scary for me when I was a kid, even though it is not a horror game.

There was also a Doom clone back in the day which I found scary as well, but I was like 5 years old at that time. In a level there was this massive gorilla who shot arrows at me and for some reason I was scared. If anyone knows that game I would be really thankful.

Interesting, my first exposure to Doom 3 was when I was in high school and my first thoughts were "What the ♥♥♥♥, this is Doom 3?"

Needless to say I hate games that either scare or jumpscare me, so Doom 3 was never on my favourite games list, in fact for me I consider Doon 3 the worst Doom game ever, because it failed where it should have suceeded, and introduced unimportant things such as jumpscares and story.

Every freaking headcrab in the half life games.

I mean, I know they're there. I am not a skittish person in real life with actual things like spiders or whatever. But those things just THERE THEY ARE and I jump, squeal, and laugh like an idiot at myself for it.

While it's fashionable to hate on them, the FNAF series is quite effective, both in tense atmosphere and jumpscares. At least until you identify the patterns and audio cues. Then you can run on auto-pilot.
