This is a video about a certain moment in gaming history when the video game Night Trap was caught up in the media.

The 'Sega Sickener' was an infamous article printed by the Daily Mail on the 28th April 1993 concerning the release of the videogame Night Trap on the Sega Mega CD, and how they thought it was the end of all things. This is the first episode in an ongoing series about videogames in the media, the news and the public eye, so any and all feedback is hugely appreciated.
