Welcome to the first ever (and only) edition of Gaming History with Jamiex66.
I recently played through Night Trap, which is an incredibly important game for the video game industry.
Night Trap was one of the main subjects that were included in the 1993 Senate hearing on violent video games, alongside Mortal Kombat.
Night Trap was accused of promoting extreme violence and violence towards women, which forced many retailers to pull the game from store shelves.
The Senate hearing ended up introducing the ESRB, which is the North America ratings board which is still implemented to this very day.
Without Night Trap, the ESRB may never have been implemented.
Having played Night Trap in 2019, it’s crazy to this this was considered ‘gratuitous violence’. Night Trap is essentially an interactive experience that can last around 30 minutes. The player must use security cameras to activate traps and save a group of teenagers from being captured and killed by vampires, known as Augers.
The entire cast is live action, featuring the cheesiest of cheesy dialogue. The action is extremely tame compared to todays standards, but this was released in a different era, one that still did not comprehend what the medium could produce.
Watching the documentaries that were included in the PlayStation 4 re-release, everyone working on the game were shocked Night Trap was considered controversial.
The actors found it laughable, and the director had already made many changes to tone down any potential content issues.
The Senate didn’t see this though, they saw an evil product created to poison the youth; WON’T SOMBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
Overall, Night Trap isn’t even a good game, but it’s such an interesting piece of gaming history that I’m so glad I was able to experience and learn about these event.
If you’re interested in hearing more about this, check out the Night Trap documentary on YouTube.

Have you played the Danganronpa series?
The Danganronpa games are a series of visual novels, which follows groups of students. These students are the best at what they do and are known as ‘Ultimates’ of their field of expertise.
The premise has these students locked away in a sick game of death, betrayal, and despair.
The students cannot leave their prison until they kill someone, but they also must get away with the murder. If they make the kill and are discovered, they are executed.
This sick game is hosted by a talking bear (stay with me) known as Monokuma, who is one of my all-time favourite gaming characters.
The Danganronpa games are very narrative-driven, with interactions between the fantastic cast of characters being one of the key aspects of the games.
But the games take a major deviation once a murder takes place, and players must then hunt down clues, establish alibies of their fellow students, and ultimately discover who committed the crime.
During the Class Trial, students must use their clues to figure out whodunnit.
Now remember when I said that if someone commits murder and avoids being caught that they are now free? Well if that happens, everyone else is executed.
These courtroom sessions have everyone’s life on the line and they are intense, shocking, and suspenseful.
I thought I’d share a small rundown of what the Danganronpa series is about, because it is one of my favourite franchises in gaming.
I hope I’ve been able to convince you to check these out, but if you have any other questions, please let me know below.

Which retro console would you like to see get the mini treatment next?
I love these mini consoles! While I don't play them as often as I should, I love having them in my collection.
I'd absolutely love a N64 mini console to come out next.
Due to Nintendo and Xbox having a 'friendship' of sorts currently, may be there is a possibly some classic Rare games could appear on it as well.
That's probably wishful thinking, but crazier things have happened🤞

Completely unrelated to the photo, but I want to know which game you'd like to see made into a movie?
====================================
I had these steelbook photos on my camera that I didn't post during my Steelbook Saturday series, so I thought I'll post them now.
Now, the only Final Fantasy games I've played have been FF13-2 and Lightning Returns.
I decided to purchase Dissidia Final Fantasy NT because I can't go past an insanely cheap steelbook.
Also please swipe across and see the beautiful inner cover of this bad boy😍
===================================
I've spent my weekend mostly playing Yakuza Zero, and Pokemon Let's Go due to being sick.
Unfortunately, the two days I've been unwell the weather had been amazing😱
Super annoyed at that, but I hope everyone is having an amazing weekend.

Did you enjoy the original Assassin’s Creed?
The original Assassin’s Creed isn’t spoken about much these days (due to the fact there has been 564 Assassin’s Creed games released in the series so far), but I really enjoyed it.
It was a rough around the edges, and extremely repetitive, but it had something about it that I really loved.
The entire concept of exploring the memories of your ancestors blew my mind, and the hints towards a major current day plot had me fully invested.
Also can we agree, Altair was a super badass character? I also love when we got to see elderly Altair in Assassin’s Creed Revelations.
Even though the original Assassin’s Creed doesn’t come close to the lofty heights of some of the best entries in the series, without Altair’s original adventure there would be no Assassin’s Creed series.
==================================
What is everyone gaming this weekend?
I'm currently unwell, so it means more time to game. I'm currently playing Yakuza Zero, some Rocket League, and shiny hunting in Pokemon Let's Go.

Have you been enjoying the Crash Team Racing remake?
As a kid I absolutely loved this game, but many of those memories have faded over time. To be honest, that was a great thing because it allowed me to simply enjoy this game with a fresh pair of eyes. That blessing was incredible, because I’ve absolutely loved the Crash Team Racing remake, and I’ve been addicted ever since I first laid my tyres on the road.
One of the things I truly love about CTR is the attention to detail delivered in each track. There are so many small touches and characters thrown around each track, that really add to the living world of each race course. Seeing polar bears slowly creep over the starting line arch, characters cheering as you drive past, and so many other blink-and-you’ll-miss-it intances. It’s a real love letter to the Crash Bandicoot universe.
The racing itself is fantastic, it feels great to be behind the wheel, and learning to perfect the boost system is so satisfying. The online features are still a little rough, with a lot of teleporting racers, the occasional lag on certain tracks, and the annoying fact if the host leaves the lobby is disbanded. But all of these will be fixed in time.
I’ve unfortunately come to terms with the fact I won’t be able to acquire the Platinum Trophy, as I don’t have the patience to become god-like on every track in the game.
But I’ve absolutely loved my time with CTR, and I’m so lad such a fantastic remake is available.
