SegaCD Sales Up Slightly in my Nightmares




When you've fake-reviewed every imaginary banned VHS release you can find, which is two, you start to wonder where to from here? The obvious answer is sega CD games (or... this thing). Especially the ones by Digital Pictures, which, much like those old VHS releases, are somehow permanently imprinted in the 10-year-old-kid creeped-out zone of my brain without my ever having actually gone near them.

There's something really disturbing about the whole live-video game genre that I can't put my finger on. More specifically - and sure, be as sarcastic as you want - Night Trap is actually the creepiest fucking THING EVER. And if Lieberman hadn't slapped his ban hand across its face, god surely would have. Here's a review by some guy who, for the first 30 seconds or so, is completely on form:

never forget.
