There needs to be a 'post random gaming videos' thread in the gaming section. Oh well. This is one of my favorurite video game documentaries. It was filmed in 1995 for the game Night Trap: Called Dangerous Games. It gives you a mix of behind the scenes footage... which is amazing. You can see July 27th 1987 on the opening clap board.



The video is a half documentary on the filming of Night Trap, with a strange retrospective on the 1993 violent video game hearings. Covers the creation of the ERSB. You got the two kids in 1995 playing the game and laughing at it's (intentionally) cheesy moments.

I never owned the game. I rented it a couple times. It always seemed more like a late 80's TV sitcom/ made for TV horror thing. In comparison to DoubleSwitch, which was clearly filmed in 1992-93. I like the 80's TV movie aesthetic of Night Trap. They had a semi professional production crew. The cast is great.

The game was filmed in the late 80's. Made for a console called The Control-Vision, with the founder of Atari, and Hasbro making a VHS game console. Hasbro funded Tom Zito and his start up company to produce some movie games. One was based on their 'scene of the crime' demo. The other was Sewer Shark filmed by John Dykstra. Night Trap has a 1.5-million dollar budget, Sewer Shark was like 3-million.

I've played the one that was released by Sega. With the "Sega Control Attack Team" and the SCAT Commander pulling the plug on the Genesis 3-button pad. Sega paid to film new footage. The second Sega CD release was the Digital Pictures version with the original 'control-vision' intro and scenes. The Sega 32x version was the same. Never got the 25th anniversary version. Need to pick that up.

Fact: Sony originally wanted to publish both Night Trap and Sewer Shark for the SNES: Playstation CD-ROM. I think Tom Zito was quoted as saying how he would have preferred the SNES colour pallet and were not to happy about the Sega CD colour output. Sony Imagesoft published Sewer Shark for the Sega CD, while Sega originally published Night Trap. Both ended up on the 3DO.
