Night Trap: 25 Years Later (Documentary)

Interesting. Being a hardcore Nintendo gamer I honestly didn't know much about this game. All I knew is that it was supposedly banned because of sexual themes and violence. It came out at the same time as other controversial games like Mortal Kombat, Wolfenstein 3D and Time Killers - so it just got lumped in with those other games. So honestly I was surprised at how mild it actually is after watching this doc. Nowadays we have mainstream games like the Witcher which have far more violence, sex and nudity. I was also shocked this game was developed for VHS tapes, instead of lasers disc or CD like all other FMV games.
Honestly this is a superbly produced documentary. The quality and professionalism of this, I just did not expect to see on Youtube. The amount of research it must have taken is incredible.
Hopefully they do one for the Kriss Kross Sega CD game!

Great documentary, and it was neat to see footage from Scene of the Crime. VHS gaming that never was.
The remake looks awesome, and it includes a fully playable version of Scene of the Crime. It is on my buy list.
Also, that Night Trap 2 tease.
Such a shame about the missing 35mm footage. It is also a shame that they have to use some footage from the 32xCD version. But I do think that some of the VHS artifacts from the original master tapes do add a bit of charm to the look of the game. Also neat that they will have optional different interfaces.

haha I nearly forgot about the MAKE MY VIDEO! games. Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch would be great, but I think Mark Wahlberg would sue!
They're great, really high production quality.

The original two Hasbro/ Digital Pictures games did have sizable budgets for their day. As said in the video, both Night Trap and Sewer Shark cost 2million a piece in mid 1980's money. Hasbro did throw them a lot of money, they were impressed by the Scene of the Crime demo. It is not too surprising that they filmed these games on 35mm, even though the games were meant to be played on VHS. There were also lot of Hollywood profesionals working on both game.
I would like to see the 35mm filmstock found as well. Also would like to see the chesy Sewer Shark get a treatment like this, but who knows if they have higher res footage for that one?
Well it was created for the anniversary game and will be included with it, so yeah it is a plug.
Make sure you're already logged into your account and the shipping and billing address are accurate and start hitting F5 a few seconds before the timer hits zero and then just go through checkout as fast as you can.
And if you miss the first batch, be there for the second batch in the afternoon.
Yup. I'm buying the Limited Run Games CE when it's available to be bought.
Crazy how a game like this that probably wouldn't even get a second look in today's world was this massive controversy back that.
Thanks. Guess I'll need to make an account pretty soon. Do we know how much this will be in USD? I want the standard version.
