Two decades after its release, Night Trap remains one of the most controversial video games of all time. The full-motion video game starring Dana Plato (Diff'rent Strokes) sparked Congressional hearings and helped usher in an era of game ratings. These days Night Trap is little more than a punchline, but was that always the case? Could it be that Electronic Gaming Monthly, Sega Force, GamePro and other old school magazines actually enjoyed this reviled oddity? Find out now as we go back in time and see what old school critics thought of Night Trap!
The 'Sega Sickener' was an infamous article printed by the Daily Mail concerning the release of the videogame Night Trap on the Sega Mega CD.
Well all press is good press.. until it is not. After decades were basically still there, some makes an article which makes it sound more horrible than it is and people getting outraged and boot up their twitters.
If there is somepoint new tomb raider, i guess she is wearing a veil and no death scenes. Only enemies are robotzombies and your weapon is megaphone where you can tell how to recycle and not pollute.
It's time to get weird. We've rounded up some of the most bizarre DOS games out there.
We take on the not so most violent game congress has ever seen.

I'm getting a bit of nostalgia from them covers lol
I think there are maybe 2 people that I've met my entire life that ever know what I'm talking about when I mention Night Trap.
