Game information[]

Night Trap is a survival horror interactive movie video game that was released in North America on October 15, 1992 originally for the Sega CD. It was filmed over a three-week period in 1987 for an unreleased game entitled "Scene of the Crime". The footage was placed into archive when that game failed to materialize, but the footage was later used to create a game by Digital Pictures which in total reportedly cost US$1.5 million to produce. This game became Night Trap, which was originally developed for Hasbro's NEMO system, which used VHS tapes instead of ROM cartridges. However, when Hasbro scrapped production on the NEMO, Night Trap was moved to the Sega CD and later brought to the Sega 32X, 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, and PC platforms with higher-quality video. The game utilized full-motion video scenes entirely and is notorious for the controversy it brewed in 1993, resulting in US Senate hearings and withdrawal of the game from the market and the creation of the ESRB.

A group of young women are staying at Mr. and Mrs. Martin's for the night. The Martin family seems like a normal American family; however, odd things have been occurring at this house. Five girls who previously stayed at the place had disappeared, so the "Sega Control Attack Team" ("Sega" changed to "Special" once the game was ported to other consoles) is called upon to protect the new guests and find out what happened. As the new wave of girls arrive for a slumber party (one of whom is undercover SCAT agent Kelly, played by Dana Plato), the vampiric Augers begin to invade the Martin family house. Later on near the end of the game (if the player manages to capture all the Augers and save all the innocent victims), Kelly finds out that the Martin family are vampires themselves.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode since Excuse Me to feature Sonic the Hedgehog (When the game restarts, Sonic is seen on the Sega CD Logo).
  • This is the first game the Grumps had played on the Sega CD.
  • During the second episode, Danny used a walkthrough to help Arin through the game, but Arin still ended up losing when one of the characters died towards the end. The episode (and series) ended with Danny, Arin, and Suzy enacting their version of the game's "ending."
