DrakeHellsing Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Huh, I've seen the Game Grumps play it and while it seems silly, I may have to get the physical copy of it, cause that cover looks pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadiochao Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I could never make progress on this game as a kid. Things only ever seemed to happen by accident, or I was just too stupid to understand what I was meant to be doing. I might play it again just to be able to say I finally managed it after like 20 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) It's pretty funny how this game was considered controversial back in the 90's. By today's standard, the "infamous" bathroom scene is so tame. This is the scene for anyone who didn't know. I really hope there's a trophy in reference to the controversy. I might have to play this at some point. It looks like it could be fun. Edited April 27, 2017 by Undead Wolf 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skateak Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 That cover on the bottom is great. Reminds me of a old horror movie poster. Might have to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again in Belgium we don't have these American like conservatives or at least not as extreme, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryogenicide_X Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I was surprised when I first heard this was being released for PS4. I never tried it when it originally released so maybe I'll give it a try once it's released for PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevvik Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Thought this was meh when it originally came out. Maybe this could lead to a great FMV adventure Classic, Gabriel Knight - The Beast Within getting released on PS4. Would rebuy that in a heartbeat.

AJ_Radio Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Night Trap was one of those controversial games along with Mortal Kombat and Wolfenstein 3D in 1992. But unlike those two games and DOOM, Night Trap has mostly been forgotten by the vast majority of gamers. Though I reckon those who will be playing this title for the PS4 weren't even born yet when it was initially released back in the day. 25 years is a long time, and 1992 was the year I started playing video games. I never got a chance to play Night Trap because I was just a little kid, and I did not have a Sega CD. I wasn't allowed to play anything explicit back then, but to tell you all a little story, I used to play games like Duke Nukem 3D when I wasn't even half the age of the ESRB rating. Of course, without the parents seeing me play. Looking forward to Night Trap. Maybe it could start a small following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesopithecusUK Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 For some bizarre reason, I mixed this game and Phantasmagoria up (the latter is way more gruesome and has a couple of scenes that were pretty controversial) I think it's because I was watching a Twitch stream recently of someone playing. Would probably pick up and play Night Trap, if I remember correctly it's kind of corny horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowwindow7 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 due to it's *Realistic* graphics and visuals and mature content at the time I heard that this game caused a lots of controversy and is the reason why the ratings system for video games exist today or something like that. compared to today's standard it looks really funny and so child friendly, like if there was an option (called cute ponies and rainbow island) been turned ON.

Wouldn't happen to be "whadhebreak" twitch channel would it? I will never forget Phantasmagoria. In both a good and bad way lol. I want my ringtone to be for my family "The House Beckons" lmao. Phantasmagoria 2 was disappointing, but there's 1 scene that is just A+ https://clips.twitch.tv/MuddySquareDinosaurCopyThis You never see it coming lol Can't wait to see what night trap has in store for my memories lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one was pretty tense with some good splatter if you didn't do a sequence correctly. As well, I feel some of its scenes would be considered much more controversial than anything Night Trap put forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albajos Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The point was that congress looked at that scene out of context and believed the whole game to be similar. They didn't consider that you are actually supposed to save them, and thus not see these scenes at all. But anything was tame at that time, it was just that there were no age restrictions on games, so they simply had to put their foot down when the quality got good enough to see what actually happened on sceeen. It's not a bad thing that there are age restrictions today rather than none at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
