With the Oregon Trail 2 constituting the other half.

Actually I think we had both depending on which computer lab we went to.

Haunting Ground. You play as a little girl escaping from rapists.

One of my favourite cutscenes off all time from one of the best games of all time. Made me think maybe Coolhand Garrett was just a little bit out of his depth...

If we're going by 'holy fuck what a dick move' enemies, I'd have to say the vampire lords from SLASH'EM (a nethack variant.)
They have this spell that creates a pool of water under your feet. Which you fall into. Which might cause you to instantly drown to death. But if you scramble out... you're still fucked because the water was a 'potion of amnesia' and your entire inventory is unidentified (actually, everything is, not just your inventory) and the map for the entire game has now been erased. Good luck with that shit. You're probably ~20 floors away from the nearest general store where you could price ID anything. Did I mention that winning the game involves backtracking through the whole dungeon to the first floor while an immortal teleporting summoner hounds you endlessly while trying to steal both your personal class based artifact and the widget you need to win the game. Oh, and he drops fake versions of said widget, which are indistinguishable unless identified. And sacrificing the wrong one makes the game unwinnable.

This thing used to give mi nightmares. The Strogg from Q2 also deserve a mention, the thing that creeped me out the most was how they were made (that "stroggification" facility level).
SOMEONE finally gave the Shambler some love! Was afraid I was going to have to dig up a pic. I still vividly remember the first time I met this guy in the Quake shareware -- after it killed me, I had to take a break I was so shaken up. In my defense I was 11, playing one of my first FPSs. Well, and the Shamblers are incredible monsters.
These creeps always gave me the creeps

Seriously, talking to him was pretty disturbing.
Enjoy your perma-madness.

I didn't met Master in my first playthrough ("accidentaly" activated something in the basement, Fat Boy?) and was confused with all that talk about him on forums. Second playthrough, more careful exploration of Cathedral and 
And yeah, there only few worse/comparable dungeons than infamous Castle Darkmoor, filled with flying filthy eyeballs. Geez... going back here and exterminating everything with Dragon Breath was so satisfying...

And that's what makes fucking fallout an awesome game. You went through your first play through without ever meeting the big fucking bad.

Which, judging by our human standards, qualifies as "bad". Bad people don't necessarily consider themselves bad either, even if their justification is "doing what is necessary to survive" or "that's just the way I am".
