Welcome to probably the ONLY Clock Tower thread on Gaia!
...And if there is, I'm sorry.
Yes, I'm finally able to make a topic about my long-lived obsession.
For those of you who don't know, Clock Tower is a series of games made by Human Entertainment in the late SNES and early PSOne days, back when Point-and-Click horror games were fashionable in the eyes of gamers (which have now been replaced by the Fragging Years...the FPS phenomenon). You play as a young girl running away from a horrid serial killer, and you have to use everything at your disposal to hide, beat, or just plain run away from danger, and try to figure out how to stop the killer for once and for all. You play as a different girl depending on the game, but the mechanics are pretty much the same.
There were three titles brought out in the Human Years--
Clock Tower (SNES--a remake for the PSOne was made called Clock Tower: The First Fear. The "First Fear" remastered version of this game was also released on Windows 95/98 and Wonderswan)
Clock Tower 2 (PSX, also known as Clock Tower in America...the first CT game to be released in the states)
Clock Tower: Ghosthead (PSX, and called Clock Tower: The Struggle Within in America. Unlike what I previously thought, the game suffered from bad dialogue with a decent if not really close English translation (Not counting the names and places), but the game was harder and really fun nonetheless).
Then Capcom brought out the (most likely) most well-known release, Clock Tower 3 (Unsure what they called it in Japan). It was no longer Point-and-Click, and it was more of an RE game than anything else (I don't know how they managed to even pull that off. I hated the game, but then again, I'm a Human Entertainment Purist). But there were some neat easter eggs from the other games, and it was fun to point them out (the fast piano theme from the first area was first played in Clock Tower: Ghosthead, in the eldest daughter's bedroom in the first scenario).
But feel free to talk in here about anything Clock Tower...After all, that's what this forum is for. ^_^
Spread the Clock Tower love!
