'Night Trap' is 80's horror cheese in video game form

"Night Trap" courted quite a bit of controversy in its initial 1992 release. It and "Mortal Kombat" prompted congressional hearings on violent video games, which led to the creation of the Entertainment Software Rating Association (ESRB.) If you play it nowadays, you'll wonder how a game with such lumbering and comical looking creatures could cause any offense. When the game was re-released on the PlayStation 4, the ESRB gave it a T for Teen rating: an indication of how times had changed.
