Since becoming a fan of the 1985 Jennifer Connelly film Phenomena, I learned that the Japanese made a video game for the SNES that was inspired by the movie -- Clock Tower.

Needless to say, I was interested in checking it out. And I did. And gotdang it, if it isn't an incredibly hard sonuvabitch to play. You can't exactly "walk" the character you're playing conventionally -- you either have to move the cursor in the direction you want Jennifer to walk towards then press "Y", or press the "L" or "R" buttons to make her run left/right -- and when this bastard

appears on screen, you have to run and hide until you lose him; you don't have any weapons to defend yourself with -- all you can do is press "B" repeatedly to block his scissors and push him to the floor if he catches up to you, and that's only a temporary solution; he'll eventually spring back up and resume the chase in no time flat.

That game kicked ass. I had the wonderswan version at one time, and the sequal was also awesome.
