Horror games like Poppy Playtime, Choo-Choo Charles, and Garten of Banban are known for their ability to capture players in their immersive worlds, but it wasn’t always that way. Haunted House, the world’s first horror game for the Atari 2600... doesn’t exactly hold up by modern horror game standards... so today, I’m going to remake it with modern technology!

This isn't the first time this game has been remade, lol. It was remade for the 50th anniversary of Atari.
HAHA!!
That's 2031
@@manymore6588 what is your math
@@dwightdeisenhower53I think he mistook the games release date for the ataris and added 50 on that.
he meant HORROR games not games in general
While I agree that "Haunted House" didn't exactly age well, the sequel "Return to Haunted House" kind of does. It plays less like the original and more like "Adventure", another Atari game, but with darker colors. Some of the limitations of the Atari actually make the game more terrifying, such as the minimalistic graphics and the sprite flickering recreates the horror trope of lights turning on and off. So, while it may not be as good as some modern horror titles, I would recommend "Return to Haunted House" just to try.
the eyes look like the minecraft frogspawn texture. look at the original game’s player texture, then minecraft frogspawn.
@@leftlegleg I hate that you're right
This man wrote his school essay 💀
Love how he complained about the bad sound effects for the original and then didn't even bother to add a sound for the jumpscare in the "remake"
Yeah, this highlights something I quite dislike about all these "i remade blah in blah" videos, you created a small part of the game, you missed most of the mechnaics and your monster variety was very low. If it were a real actual remake you would have added all the monsters and all the mechanics (that work in a 3d environment)

Am I the only one who saw "You escaped with Olives" instead of "You escaped with 0 lives"?
I saw that too
Bro me too
Same here 🤣 ! Spaces are indeed important 🤣 !
same
Nope
Now to keep on theme, you should try remaking the horror game "3D Monster Maze" for the Sinclair ZX81 that also came out in that same year. It should be even easier to do. Only one creature hunts you down (a big T-Rex) and the level is one big maze that you have to find the exit for. So its a player, inside a maze, with a dinosaur chasing you.
Yes 👍👍👍
you actually just have to wait long enough
Mah boy Rex wants to be remade next
Listen, I'm not trying to be a "hater" here , but its kinda funny how this remake ends up being objectively worse than the original. There's only one slow moving enemy, there's no additional mechanics like the scepter or the locked doors, and its aesthetically not great either. Its been sucked dry of any charm and turned into a slender clone.
honestly, this is the whole feeling i had about this video.
@@PonderousEclectica4383 Yeah I came into it interested just because of the thumbnail, thinking he was going to be doing interesting reinterpretations of the original game, and then in reality it was just...a random model on the marketplace. That plus not even bothering to write chase code definitely gives the vibe he just didn't care.
@@SissypheanCatboy Agreed. The longer the video went on, the more it became obvious that this wasn't some massive passion project or even practicing using Unity, it was just "content for the sake of content".
I agree
I agree with you
"You escaped the mansion with 0lives." It wasn't an urn after all. It was a jar of olives.
"I've got a jar of olives, I've got a jar of olives, I've got a jar of olives!" -Captain Jack Sparrow, probably.
The fact that you remade the full game even with 10+ rooms is so fantastic
hi liam hfjone
Liam plecak real??
are you and bryce still dating
Glitch scp
He didnt though, as the guy says at the end, he removed thr atcual mechanics, didnt have the full variety of monsters, the keys or the traps etc.
Impressive. Although, you missed the keys, hidden doors, ghosts. You could've taken it further, all I'm saying.
3:08 -body once told me the world is gonna roll me
finally the first horror game being recognized 🦅🦅🦅🦅
2020 the canny Incident
Don't Don't like that 😒
I can't ignore the image of some teenager from 1981 screaming their head off in their room as a little green bat comes towards them
Didn't he say in the first minutes that the sound was horrible and he was going to start with remaking it and then... Didn't add any sound at all in the game 🤣?
Finally someone talks about the scariest horror game that ever existed “Haunted House”
Hey for this game u should add sounds to the jumpscare and a screen after like "Better luck next time!" next make it say you escaped with 0 lives instead of 0lives. and finally lower the jumpscare camera . But great game!
😋olives
you escaped with 🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸

You escaped with 0 lives ❌️ You escaped with 🫒 ✅️
No they should just say you escaped with Olives and then add and olive emoji or if removed (if they update it ever) it should be an easter egg hidden somewhere
kinda crazy how 90% of the things in this video were made from chat gpt or models from other people 😅

“You have escaped the mansion with olives” got me cracked up💀
Hey polymars, so recently I watched a tiktok that had something called "8d" audio and it was a person knocking on a door. Basically what this "8d" audio does is it makes it sound like somebody is in the room with it and it is incredibly realistic. There is probably an audio file of it out there somewhere and it is legitimately the scariest jump scare ever. You should use it in a horror game.
game: you escaped the mansion with olives me: thanks, I need a snack after all that running
I think you play as a pair of eyeballs because the house is so dark you can't see their body or head.
12:13 You escaped the mansion with 0 lives My stupid a$$: You escaped the maze with Olives
"you escaped the mansion with 0 lives" more like 'you escape the mansion with olives"
4:33 Monday left me broken
how did u notice that lol
@@CollisionPlayz i focus on chat LoL
@@Lovediscen :P
The only scary thing is your main channel upload schedule
I honestly forgot about that
I like that there's a conversation in the stream chat about how a guy fell asleep on his keyboard and was writing sentences.
PolyMars does your game even have SOUND DESIGN!?
I’m so happy you did this, I absolutely love this game and I love it when people talk about it
1:09 that random guy getting ignored when saying hi poly
jaxongaming12344
Yeah... It's almost as if it's impossible to be entertaining while responding to comments simultaneously :/
You're missing the spider and ghost and the light mechanics but pretty cool
And I seem to recall a scepter or necklace or something that's supposed to make you invisible to the enemies.
@@BronyNumber4096 yeah, the little wand thing.
15:10 the way how he just slammed his table
Honestly, the original is better, more fun, and just has a feeling that modern video games can’t copy.
Happy New Year polymers
3:49 : "polymars go touch grass , that might be useful"
The original still does infact hold up if you love pixel games and 2D games instead of 3D that could crash. And yes I understand that the game is not scary as of today but imagine how scared they where when this game first released (2D One.).
I think the more interesting experiment would be to attempt to make the best, scariest possible horror game for the Atari 2600.
fact: the actual oldest horror game is 3d monster maze so you should make a video about remaking it, and called the video i remade the ACTUAL oldest horror game
2:40 Remember, never forget to put the decimals in the right place "It costs $2.99! 😃" Versus "It costs $299 💀"
I love the LBP sounds ❤
I like how the subscribe thingy in the video sounds like an lbp sound effect
I saw this one on the actual twitch stream and I loved it!
Man i remember when you were a very small channel i am happy to see you grow
Omg every body wake up and go back to sleep poly mars has posted
12:13 "you escaped the mansion with olives" this cracks me up
No way bro said Garden of band Ban Gets you trapped in their immersive world
stopping kids from saying first
Second 😏
I love how a game made in 1981 is 16 bits while all the other games in like the 1990 are 8 bit
I really liked your content when I discovered you in one of the videos from Vimlark. Your style and the games you were making were really nice I thought. But to be honest recently your content is kinda becoming the same thing over and over again, especially with the horror genre. How many times are you going to remake a Slenderman-like. Horror is not that shallow and it's not alway about jumpscares. I'm glad there is an audience for that and you find success. I'm sure that tons of people like the "forced cringe" and the Dani-but-not-really style but in my opinion - and it's only my opinion, not a mean critic or an attack on you or the fanbase - I'm really sure that you can make better games than that, that you can do different things and not just become the guy who just does crappy games but in a kinda goofy way. That said, I will always be hoping to see you in collaborations with guys like Vimlark, Blackthorn and others. You can defnitely create cool stuff, of that I'm sure 💪!
ya i feel you
agree
One of my favourite things about this game is the walking sound. When I'm playing I just hear, "tap tap tap tap." It's kind of funny.
You escaped the mansion with olives.
At last! Someone does it! Remasters of old games that are not poorly made triple A!
You've got to give it credit, though. It probably scared a lot of people when it first came out, even if it seems mediocre today.
What music is being played from 0:00 til 0:27?
Great made love it Really scary bro i got nightmares about it
havent even watched the whole video yet but 0:26 omg you used the lbp popit sound
12:13 AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT IT SAID ESCAPED WITH OLIVES!?
i dunno
i watched this video yesterday then went to bed and had a dream i was stuck in that house being chased by that bat. thanks alot for that.
Hey that game is so similar to a pre-installed game on Atari Flashback 8 Gold that I got from the library. Even tough I have a retro games video on that I don’t remember.
I mean, when I was a little child the Atari version was kind of scary, but I think that's just because the sound was so damned loud. I was like 5 or 6 when it came out. Why yes, I am old!
I got the atari flashback classics last year and now I can have memories of this game even though it was made many years ago
Honestly the eye balls in the original game is more scarier than the monsters😂😂
I think I've actually played this game (the original not the remake) on the little Atari that my grandpa gave to me and my siblings it was a thing where it just had a bunch of games already built in Edited cause of spelling mistake
12:14 i thought it said you escaped with olives but there was no space🤣
12:16 He escaped with OLIVES! 😂
The bat really pressed e to be reincarnated💀
Bijuu Mike better play this one
I think the jump scare for the green bat should’ve been it turned its head and then bites your head off
4:32 i love the monday left me broken XD
yeah garten of banban totally captured me in its world
I honestly love remakes of old games. But I do wish that you'd have taken a bit of creative liberty with it rather than just giving it a fancy look. Like make the floors look different each time with furniture and things. But I do understand why you didn't go this route.
Wasn't 3d monster maze the first? Good job on the remake btw
5:05 freaking spam
Is it only me or do other ppl notice the reference(maybe) of the win from the original game and the Hollywood tower from Disneyland Paris when the ride ends and the girl hums that tune
bro wasn't this stream from like 5 months ago
The game is a lot more atmospheric if you turn on invisible walls
when i saw the thumbnail i tought it was going to be a remake the one of the first FPS games wich had a sort of dinosaur-monster called rex because the pixel sprite looked like his mouth and when i saw the 3D remake a some sort of bat i just tought "how the hell is this supposed to be a dinosaur" weird shit, apart from that really good video !
hah thats funny where did you learn that from? Evolution of horror games 1982-2019 by Cussan? heh
@@taiwanesegamer6423 i think, i don't really remember but it really was a funny game
@@Shinji-That-has-always-been Maybe go watch the video to confirm your thoughts
@@taiwanesegamer6423 yeah i'll do that

Great game to over come my fear being alone in a horror game that has no light
You escaped the run with Olives... WORTH IT!

GO GO Poly Mars!!!
This isn’t the first horror game. The first was 3D monster maze for the ZX81 computer which came out a year earlier.
I was looking for this comment. It was bugging me so much. I clicked on this video hoping for a remake of that, got very sad when it wasn't.
You should look into the Atari game Adventure. It’s very similar and the “dragons” look like fucked up seahorses. There’s mazes everywhere and you win by finding the holy grail (I think that’s what it is) and bringing it back to the castle.
GOTY worthy. cant wait for fynns "I Made Atari's Haunted House out of Candy" video
You have escaped the mansion with Olives!? oh its 0 lives
