The most violent scene in the entire game is Mike's dead corpse being hung inside the closet, since they show the Augers hooking up the wiring to his neck and draining him.
It's actually a pretty neat concept. They use the hook guns to incapacitate them, then do the full on draining and bottling later.
The Augers are how corporate vampires must really function.

Jave: Really good points. It's like my Mother can deal with gruesome violent stuff, she worked in an ambulance and the ER for a long time, but certain things still bother her; namely anything to do with children, or self-injury. And yeah, it can certainly leave a lot to the imagination if things are not seen. I was merely curious what WAS and what WASN'T shown. As for the time period, I know my Mother got one of those motherly 'You shouldn't be reading that' when she found out one of the comics I'd started picking up had a lot of cursing and nudity and sex. I was, at the time, still pretty young (probably not even 10) so she had every right. Of course, I have a very good mother in that she actually paid attention to what we watched, read, etc., and tried to supervise us at all times so we didn't get into things we weren't supposed to. cj: Corporate vampires are different. They hang you upside down and shake until all your money falls out

www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc-TdbpU-4kI think this should be mentioned in the article. Fascinating documentary with interviews from Tom Zito, (the late ) Dana Plato, Lisa's actress herself, and lots of stupidity from the congressional hearings. Fascinating documentary, with hilarious behind the scenes stuff from Night Trap's filming. I want the binder that man has!

Well, the singing scene isn't that annoying in Japanese... Also, it's kinda funny how it's still a Genesis controller, but I highly doubt they would have re-shot the footage just for the Euro and JP versions. I find it really interesting that the same David Crane that made Pitfall! was one of Night Trap's programmers. And that there's a mention of Hasbro too.

Read the comments. Apparently some top-tier seiyuu dubbed Night Trap, like Belldandy's from Ah My Goddess(WTF!?).

Lance: Hasbro was the company fronting the money for the projects back around 1987-1989 when the NEMO was in development. Really cool use of VHS technology---basically Night Trap et al were to be played off of VHS; Hasbro paid several million to develop this technology where you could have parallel video tracks or layers on a single VHS tape, and with corresponding data that could be read/interpreted for game purposes--basically it'd just switch over to show you the trap scenes, or switch when you went from room to room, while all the other stuff was technically still happening on another one of the video tracks. They ended up canning it because it'd cost about 300 for the system, when at the time NES systems sold for 150 or 100.
I'd forward a link to this one article I just read but it was written by uber-douche ferricide aka Christian Nuttsack (who's like #3 or #4 on my list of "annoying/pretentious video game journalists I hate", and a pompous prick on animu forums to boot...he's one of those types that likes shit like Utena but turns his nose up on anything with a robot and/or heterosexual concept in it).

Read the comments. Apparently some top-tier seiyuu dubbed Night Trap, like Belldandy's from Ah My Goddess(WTF!?). And apparently Simms is Solid Snake. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a mod for Metal Gear Solid's PC version that replaced Snake with Simms? As for Japanese versions, the 3DO version was also released there (by Virgin Games). If it keeps the same VAs I don't know. It would also be interesting to see the Japanese versions of other Digital Pictures and Sega TruVideo games. From what I know the other ones to be released there were: Tomcat Alley (Sega CD) Prize Fighter (Sega CD) Double Switch (Sega CD) Corpse Killer (3DO) Supreme Warrior (3DO) Fahrenheit (Sega CD) Surgical Strike (Sega CD)

I can't imagine them dubbing over Winston's VA in Corpse Killer. That guy is amazing.
I'm torn over whether Corpse Killer is a kusoge or an article game. It's so bad, but yet I love so many things about it.

Correction on the description you have in this article under Victor and Sheila Martin. You described him saying that the family has a terrible curse and are still becoming vampires, but if you go back and listen carefully to the game footage you'll realize that he's actually talking about the Augers, not the Martin family. The Martin's are actually fully fledged vampires and that's why they are bullet proof and have crazy powers. The Augers are the ones stuck between human and vampire and that's why they walk weird, dress weird, and stalk for blood. That also explains why, in the beginning of the story, Sheila feels bad for the "poor Augers" and wants to deliver some pre-bottled blood to them to which Victor is annoyed because he's happy being an all powerful vampire with little consideration for the Augers.
Just thought I'd clear that up!
