Night Trap is a fascinating game. One of the earliest movie games shot in live-action. Something at the time that was for the most part unexplored territory.
Night Trap is full of cheese and odd design decisions. It gets into "so bad it's good territory". Night Trap adds up to a charming and fascinating experience. There's not much to the game of Night Trap, but I'm glad to have finally given the game a shot. A title I would hear about over the years.
Plus, Night Trap is a notable title for other reasons. Like how it helped lead to the creation of a ratings board. How Night Trap was one of the main targets of a United States Senate hearing in the early 90s. This has played a large part in the enduring legacy of Night Trap.
