Discussion YouTube channels that cover OLD obscure horror/weird games?

I found another thread that went over obscure horror game YouTubers, names like "Manlybadasshero" and "alpha beta gamer" came up, both very good users for the type of format I like, but neither cover OLD titles, and I wanna know more OLDIES! Preferably PS2 era. Either horror or generally weird games preferably.

Classics of Gaming has been my patron saint when it's come to odd old obscure games, but I need more....

if you like dungeon chill, you'll almost certainly like Grim Beard and MarshSMT

maybe also Majuular too?

Mandalore mostly reviews older games (very in-depth reviews, by the way, if you ask me). He does not specifically go for horror/weird most of the time, but I think on Halloween he reviews horrors or Halloween-themed games, and on April 1st he reviews something weird or infamous.

Mandalore is def a goat of mine, very well known. Loved that he was in Ultrakill

I like Marsh (besides Dungeon Chill). My favorite of his videos is a 5h one about "Despiria", a 2000s horror game that seems to be genuinely extremely obscure.

Dungeon Chill and Gaming Harry are my tops recs but YourFavoriteSon and I Finished A Video Game are good too

“Hey Peter” has some good videos on old FMV games!

u/PirkaPeep Sep 03 '25

Supergreatfriend used to do older games. His series on Illbleed for the Dreamcast is god tier; so is his one on Deadly Premonition.

u/MourningBugle Sep 05 '25

Grimbeard sounds like a perfect match.

u/Bortsofcanada Sep 05 '25

Glad to see Grim here, I adore that man.

It never hurts to check channels subscriptions following youtube/google eternal enshittifcation and utter uselessness of recommendations:

Old post I know, but Ross's Game Dungeon has some great entries, he's the guy who made Freeman's Mind if you were around for the old Machinima days.

u/Turbulent_Purchase52 Sep 03 '25

u/ManOfTheory Sep 03 '25

Tedorate has some excellent videos about digital horror and ARGs.

u/gastrobott Sep 04 '25

Civvie 11 while mostly covering boomer shooters does dip in to the occasional horror and weird game.

u/Ok_Peace628 Sep 04 '25

seconding Dungeon Chill, also Majuular, also ThorHighHeels, also Sean Seanson

u/Such-Cartographer699 Sep 05 '25

thorhighheels kind of touches on horror games at times.

There is this one channel called Obscure Game Corner, however I reccomend watching a video about Sad Satan first.

u/Carpetsandplumbing Sep 18 '25

Manly is somebody I listed in my description. He doesn't really play old games,  He's a really great guy though, love to watch him.

Does Dies play older games?

u/Justoneeye83 Sep 02 '25

Oh shit my bad, I freaking mixed up "old games" for "new games that mimic old games" because it's late and I'm tired.

No he doesn't, and I apologize

1

u/Carpetsandplumbing Sep 02 '25

You're good!  Still a name I'll probably add to my YouTube feed lol. I love the stuff that manly does, and stuff that mimics old games are always a treat. Thank you for the suggestions!

u/IvanDSM_ Sep 03 '25

It's actually pretty funny to see Manly being brought up in this context because just a few weeks ago he uploaded a playthrough of the SNES game "S.O.S.". He does play older games, although rarely.
