SEGA CD Classic Night Trap Is Partying to PS4

So this game did it first before FNAF? Huh...interesting.

I had to check if it is April 1st and I somehow have lost track of time. I am obviously in if the retail edition is fairly priced.

@get2sammyb I played the crap out of this game!! I loved it in all of its cheesy glory!

Limited Run games is issuing the game physically in three cover variants, two of which are pictured above (representing the original blue Sega CD release and Sega 32X CD) and the original 1992 hand drawn artwork. The 32X yellow cover, they tweeted, is available through their rewards program, while the blue and original will be the "common" ones.

Also, if one goes to the website nighttrap25.com, you can download an mp3 of the title song for free.

Wow what a classic. Dana Plato from Different Strokes was in this. (On the cover) before she died of an overdose. I heard they were looking to bring this to ps4. Didnt think it was true though. Hope it has a Platinum.

haha... this is for the lul...
the limited physical copy gonna sell like hot cakes!

I lived the Sega CD hell once (my parents were generous enough to get me one so I could enjoy Sonic CD). Will not be revisiting any disasters that get re-released. I also think we need to take another look at what we define as 'classic.'

It's like a train wreck you can't stop looking at.

@get2sammyb I have the sega cd and cdx versions. Will add this too my collection.

well that's e3 ruined

So it's like a crap version of Until Dawn?

Might start a new thread - are we beginning to dredge the bottom of the 'nostalgia' barrel?

I think this is cool from a wow, look at this game kinda way but at the same time, really?

Fascinating

Anytime a company claims they can't release an older title I can now say: "If they re-released Night Trap, you can re-release anything".

Why not through in D just for the hell of it?

Not to be a pedant @get2sammyb but shouldn't it be courted controversy rather than coveted? (sorry, I've spent the morning proof reading work and find myself in the zone)

OT - not sure I can resist this. I can stick it on after watching Hell Comes to Frog Town and be in my element.

Oh my...I REALLY want that Limited Run version just so I can have those 32X/Sega CD style stripes on the boxart...I'm such a sucker for retro Sega stuff!

@Eternallover21 I was 12 in 92

I was 20 when this originally released in '92! It was 'bad' then and I can't imagine its 'better' today. It has been listed as one of the 'worst' games of all time...

So... I guess I can expect to see a re-release of those Zelda cd-i games pretty soon, right?

@get2sammyb If I remembered the controversy (I was 12 when it was released), it was due to the nature of the game itself...slightly clad girls (granted they weren't nude, but 'slutty' still the same) and the horror mechanism that it slightly did. Other than that, it was the time period when the games were getting more brutal...which was weird because the Castlevania games on NES had drops of blood (even the Nightmare On Elm Street game for NES). Mortal Kombat was the point that the ratings really started to take off, and parents were outraged at that game. Then I started finding other genesis titles that were rated MC17 (what would probably be M nowadays)...some of which made no sense...like Boogerman...and some that were just because it was a cartoon that parents hated...Beavis And Butthead. Ahh, the love of the ratings and parents that hate anything that is popular (The Pokemon being mythical devils, Ren and Stimpy's too adult humor, Spongebob's adult humor, Beavis smoking...granted smoking is allowed in past cartoons like Popeye and Looney Tunes and Disney Animation. It's just amazing, but this game, even though I never played it, really pushed boundaries back in the day. It was almost impossible to find, which made it a big collector's item (hint the cult-favorite).

@JoeBlogs Troll 2 was horrible, still not great to watch unless you have a keg of beer to drink and have nothing better to do! I remember seeing it, the bad effects, the bad (really bad) acting, the weird setting...what was going on with the popcorn scene. The movie didn't even come close to the original (which also wasn't good). My favorite 'cheesy' film was Killer Klowns From Outer Space...also horrible, but imaginative in it's own way...ahh, the b-horror films from the 80's!!!!

Ha looks like a laugh, but I'll stick with Until Dawn thanks.

@Tasuki Yeah I get that and I have no doubt it will sell to the groups of people you mention. Personally, not for me, if everyone tells me poop tastes bad, I don't need to taste it for myself but I can see what you mean. I remember the controversy and a friend had it and I knew that it sucked even then (he was Sega, I was Nintendo so obviously I thought it sucked!). I also get why the original is a collectors item as it has a niche place in gaming history.

I just think there are so many good games that I'd love to see re-releases that this is a cash grab. Still, the market speaks!

@JoeBlogs I remembered...I think they were goblins in the second one...just couldn't stand the acting from that kid, his parents, some of the teens in it (the guy with the glasses giving a whole script reading on what the goblins were doing to his girlfriend was hilarious) and that witch. Then there was the fact that you could definitely tell the goblins were just masks, as everything moved except their mouths. It was just so cheesy, and hard to believe that a company actually allowed it to come to the theaters! Hard to believe that no one tried to make a third one, or even re-make the first and second one...especially since it actually has a cult following!!!

PS Plus please for nostalgia lol!!

Ah, the nineties, what a time to be alive.

Going for nostalgia this reminds me of Arte Johnson's line on Laugh-In. " Verrrry interesting , but stupid."

What's the price point for this novelty...
