Night Trap: The GREATEST "Bad" Game of All Time!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- I have a love for the entertainingly cheesy. This includes video games. Especially this cult classic that was wrongfully annexed into the great "violent video games" debate of the early 90's. Here are my thoughts of the infamous video game NIGHT TRAP!
Watch the documentary "Night Trap: 25 Years Later" here: • Night Trap: 25 Years L...
#NightTrap
[Coury] Hey Jeremy, thanks for sharing our Night Trap documentary! It was such a cool thing to be able to make. When the game came out originally, I was 13 years old which was probably the perfect age to play it. It was surreal to be able to meet some of the people responsible for making it, and actually be a part of the new release. Teenage me would never believe it!
Sure, this game has a reputation for being bad... but I love it. It was important to for me to treat it with respect and appreciation in the documentary because it did a lot of interesting stuff for the time.
So happy you guys got a shout out! Love both your channels
Oh, fuck this game! Night Trap is the worst game ever made in the history of ever. Fact! Just faks! Go play the game called Doom Eternal on PS5 coming soon!
So happy to learn more about this crazy and important game from my childhood. Thank you for all your diligence! Definitely checking out your channel.
@@lexc1560 Without PS3 game system, and finally, we want to buy a PS5 game system and a game Doom Eternal on PS5 on Nov 2020, okay?
Gosh thanks for the production of the documentary! And Jeremy thanks for this bit of nostalgia! I don't know about Night Trap, but childhood me salivated about playing "Night Trap"'s closely related game "Sewer Shark". These were really interesting games of the time
Govermant then vs now.
Then: Night Trap: "I find that extremely offensive"
Now: Doom: - - -
If we don't evolve, we die.
90s they were right wing Christians, now they're left wing socialists......
@@DaPlasticPaddy there are virtually no socialists in your country, man. What you call socialist is just a little bit left of your right and super-right parties.
You call wanting basic healthcare 'socialism', which every other country in the world calls common fucking sense, including the right wings
THE HiddenFist when Doom originally came out, a lot of people were against it because they thought it was “demonic” and “worshiped satan” but they didn’t realize that the entire point of the game is to KILL the demons
@@dixondarling I know but i was thinking on Doom 2016 or eternal, not the original.
Noone does moral panic like 90's US congress.
Oh yeah!!Remember "BAAAANED IN THE USA!!!" by 2LiveCrew? Lmao
Yeah... The death of Saturday morning cartoons happened back then...
I dunno, 20's US is getting pretty bad.
it's pretty bad nowadays
Moral panic is a constant feature in US congress.

@@Wired4Life2 Maybe if we ignore that weasel it will go away.
@@wienerschnietzel8983 you sound mad
I wish I could share this comment with my anti-vaxxer friends.
Jeremy looks like the physical embodiment of quarantine.
"Their feelings are real but it's not reality" well said, fits a lot of social media nowadays.
Fits a lot of life in general.
@@DavisGB84 You got me there. But i agree with you on that one.
Haven't you heard the update? Feelings are more important than reality now..
Walter White : I did it for me
Jeremy Jahns (2020 during the Covid19 outbreak) : I did it for me
Imagine going back in time and showing Congress footage of Mortal Kombat 11 or Dead space 2
Or Resident Evil 2 remake.
Why go back in time just to prove a point? You can just show it online right now and congress would faint with no back bones. It probably just make it worse. 😁
Or Doom Eternal
Or Manhunt
@@WhyteLis21 It's not the same congress. 27 years have already done that.
@@KeybladeMasterAndy I doubt that. People still blame video games for violence. Be that congress or society including the media. Its just louder and more spread out now because of the internet.
The best part of quarantine is Jeremy's passion project reviews of random things.
I feel like Five Nights at Freddy's was inspired by this game.
It was, Gameplay is essentially the same idea
Jeff Anderson it probably is, except that game is actually good 😂
Edviza which is good, FNAF or Night Trap?
This is a very controversial topic
@@jacobb.9181 well......the first FNAF game was actually good, it was a really original. Keep in mind that came in a year when every single indie, horror game was a copy of slenderman. Fnaf for the other hand innovate the fact that you can't move and stay in a security room, closing doors, watching the cameras so the animatronics didn't came to kill you while you have to save batteries, in a really atmospheric pizzeria while you hear things that came out in the place. The other thing that innovate was using pizzaria's animatronics as the main villians. every horror story use kids themes as clowns or dolls but animatronics pizzeria never was use before. Sadly i can said the same for the sequels, besides maybe the 2, they all started to be the same. And that's because Scott cawton the creator didn't improve and only to it for the money.
@@craigthebrute8932 he didn't do it for the money, it's very clear that if what he's making isn't perfect for the fans, he won't make it. Look at the movie. It's been in production for 5 years and only just got the script written.
I just dated myself so bad while watching this...with my son saying, "you were alive when that game came out?"
then tell him "and you were just a minnow in my nutsack."
For a minute there I thought you meant you went on a date with yourself.
@@AJARyan-yn2uv I thought that too
Seems reasonable though, we're in quarantine, our only dates are with ourselves
Its not that old, its older than me, but i don't consider it some ancient era
Imagine if they did this now days with sam raimi writing and directing.
Wonder if the Night Trap house was part of the Cabin in the Woods world.
No bc cabin in the woods came out waaaaaay later lol. VHS was still a thing when Night Trap released
Would've been neat if Augers were on that board of monsters the workers were betting on which would appear first.
Nothing will ever beat that old Nintendo of America CEO when night trap and MK were first introduced during that meeting say "you will never see these games on a Nintendo console." now if you excuse me i'm gonna play night trap right now on my switch.
for those who i mean: it is not Reggie, his name was Howard Lincoln and apparently he's still alive if anyone can find him reacting to this please let me know
Iirc he was specifically referring to Night Trap as MK did release on the SNES with a censored version that was worse than the Mega Drive/Genesis one
I remember that dude. He wore the bow tie. I also remember Ed from EGM, his bald head, mainly. And the Sushi X nom de plum created for credibility to bedazzle the American eye.
Lincoln said some idiotic things to show parents of kids playing Nintendo they were safe. Kids wont get that from Nintendo even if it does mean the company would lose loads of money. He retired to a money lined panic room soon after MK2 released as bloody and gory as the Genesis version. The Nintendo higher ups must've told him stop trying to be an old responsible man because its losing gamers to our rivals.
OsamuWu42 it’s funny cause I got both for the Switch. I literally have Zelda, MarioKart, SSB, MK11, and NightTrap!
@@lexc1560 And then there was that whole Omega Labyrinth debacle with the PS4 and the Switch. Strange times!
Congress lost their shit when it came to Rap and Heavy metal around this time as well. Too bad they didn’t put as much energy into running the government.
Every government needs a scapegoat or sin eater
No wonder things went to shit.
"Feelings are real, but they're not always reality."
Ok, I think I will save this Video in my *Videos with Unexpectedly Profound Philosophical Points*
That should be a quote
This is a CLASSIC! My friends and i were in awe when it was released back in the early 90’s. We still laugh about it today. Thanks for covering it and appreciating it sir!
I never got it or played, but then, even in high school, I couldn't justify spending any of my after school job money on a Sega CD (just, why?). Luckily I had a friend that bought every console, dude even had a 3DO! Cat confirmed that I'd be better off buying a few regular Genesis games than that add-on and he singlehandedly quashed every rumor and speculation we heard about Night Trap one day at lunch. We heard everything from you play a serial killer that kills hookers, to you being a co-ed that escapes an assault and hunts down the attackers with a .45 and, like Robocop, when you find the leader, you can shoot him in the dick! Sadly, our friend could only express disappointment. Nothing remotely like that took place in the game. Talk about lowered expectations. I mean, his, not ours.
This is the quarantine content I look forward to! Hope everyone is safe and healthy ❤
I can't wait for Jeremy to review The Last of Us 2 when it comes out
Just Some Guy without a Mustache if it ever comes out :-(
I can’t wait to get my collectors edition XD that is already paid in full lol
@@oldsnakeno1961 They said they're giving out refunds..
I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since that review came out
I remember when I played Leisure Suit Larry (from multiple 5 1/4" floppy disks) having the same feeling of "oh my god, I know I'm not supposed to be playing this..."
Jeremy is coming with some unpredictable content
The MASH reference is great. Now I want a MASH review because that show can’t get enough love
MASH SUCKS
Benjamin Schwartz you’re entitled to your opinion
Yes I love MASH that would be great
This is the silver lining to this quarantine. I get to see Jeremy review things from the past that probably wouldn't be reviewed over new releases 😁
I'm more of a "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" kinda guy :p
Good news.. That's getting a limited run release also.. I'll be preordering for the Switch ones it's available for that.
It wasn't just Night Trap and Mortal Kombat but also Doom, but unlike the 2 others (whom allowed them self to be censored) Doom just shipped out free demos to every software-shop in the land. It's believed that the demo of Doom got installed on more computers than Microsoft's Windows 95. Doom 1993 even became a part of Microsoft's marketing stategi. Since it now seamed impossible to censer Doom, they just gave up and moved on.
Jeremy Jahns is trying to do his terrible movie review of Dragonball Evolution real soon.
My family had the original Night Trap. I didn't know about the Congressional backlash until several years later though.
A modern remake would be awesome considering the vast potential...with players capable to also control the characters...and with an M-rating.
I love that he always has the Star Wars mug in every video
Well, in his “Spider-Man is Leaving the MCU” video, he had a mug that said “Coffee is my f***ing hero” on it. And as a result, in his video of him reviewing “Jurassic World: Battle at Big Rock” short film, he said that that “Spider-Man” video he made got flagged because of that mug he has. So that’s why he had a mug that has “Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back” on it.
Oh the nostalgia.
-The Seventh Guest
-The Seventh Guest: 11th Hour
-Doom 1
-Heretic
-Fantasmagoria
-Myst.
And so many more
Thanks for the memories.
I was 8 when this game came out, and it scared the shit out of me. Now it reminds me of a Tommy Wiseau production.
Attempt to convince Jeremy to review the original Spider-Man films number 6
Hey...why tho? Those are the most overcovered films on UA-cam besides the fucking Nolan Batman films
@@narcspector He's asking for Jeremy's perspective, not everyone else's..
Personal Persona why not? He is reviewing random shit, & has mentioned those films several times, in comparison to things he’s reviewed. It was just a humorous request. Chill lol
Everyone is saying we're going to discover better, more effective ways of doing things as a result of this virus and not go back to the old way even after its months behind us.
I don't think Jeremy's channel is going to be able to not heavily feature game reviews after this. They're arguably even better than his movie reviews. They already feel like a hallmark of his channel. He can be like a reverse Angry Joe. Starts out his UA-cam career with movie reviews, dabbles in video game content.
Samuel L Jackson I like some of his old game reviews, especially the Metal Gear Solid ones
They said the same about 9/11. Nothing ever changes for long
Just as I was looking for a video to watch while on the toilet Jeremy blesses me once again!
Godspeed you glorious bastard!
I just bought this on Nintendo Switch last week and Always wanted to play this in the 90’s. So glad you put this out
I was working at sega as a game counselor when this was released. I had to write the walkthrough for the other counselors to use. Took the game home and over the weekend found all the times to catch the augers. My walkthrough ended up in all the video game magazines a week or two later. I was proud of it but didn’t get credit. Just so you guys know. It starred Dana Plato from different strokes. Ah the good times.
This is crazy I just bought this on the Switch.
Didn't we all, it was only a few dollars on sale, still haven't played it yet though
I did too when I say it was only $3.20😂
How is it?
i have it on ps4
i've never heard of night trap before, but now i really wanna play it
I've heard of it but never got to play it
Thanks for linking to the documentary. It was great to watch!
While I know that film reviews are your bread & butter, I always love hearing you talk about games. When someone like Angry Joe branches out into talking about films, it just doesn’t translate you selfie information or garner much intrigue (personally; I’m sure plenty of folks love them). That’s never the case on your channel, & it’s never clumsy or awkward. Appreciate your for it, Jeremy.
You legend. I used to have this for my Mega CD. Greatest game ever. I haven't played since I had my Mega CD (UK) so not for a long time but I loved this game. Played it to death. Although I'm proud to say I had the locations memorized. No cheat sheet for me. I think the best I ever did was like 98/100 from memory.
“Greatest *bad* game”
Makes perfect sense. Stay safe Jeremy, when this is all over we need your awesometacular reviews!
But one more thing.......
*shame on you*
I'm so glad you made this. I was always confused by why you bought so many copies in your vlogs.
Don't forget to review season 5 of Better Call Saul next week -)
Paul Paul she’s in the game now.
Back in the day i came home from work saw congress on tv screaming about this game I immediately ran to Babbage bought a sega cd and this game and never looked back! Love this game to this day!
you are officially crazier (more passionate) than I thought you were ♥️
I owned this on the 32X CD back in the late ‘90s and dug it. I was such a sucker for FMV games in those days, and this and Double Switch were the very best!
Trivia Note: The actor who plays Victor actually played Commander Sonak in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. That character is the Vulcan that Admiral Kirk talks to when he first arrives at Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco early in the movie.
Never played Night Trap but I remember hearing so much controversy about it, even though I was playing Mortal Kombat as a kid and thinking "This is great. Glad I'm not playing that filthy Night Trap game."
Quick question by the way about non-supported handheld systems: do you prefer Vita or 3DS?
I remember hearing about this game but never played it.
All things considered, its a miracle this game is even available to modern players, without the need to dig around in freeware websites.
Using that sound effect to close out the review - inspired.
SEVEN versions of the same game, including physical AND digital copies of the same game, and even a Japanese version. Wow, Jeremy, you must love that game. Outside of freebies and stuff like Nintendo Switch Online, I don't think there's a single game I own half as many copies of.
BUT I do understand your love for this weird immersive horror/parody game set in a large house....because I grew up playing Maniac Mansion. I have fond memories of that game. And that's a big part of why I loved Thumbleweed Park so much. Nostalgia is indeed a powerful thing.
And the best part about Maniac Mansion is it has dozens of fan sequels to satisfy that itch.
Ooh, speaking of which - Hey Jeremy, far be it for me to tell you what to review, I'm sure you've got plenty of stuff on the docket, but now that you've got time....what about the remaining Telltale Games?! That would be a great thing to review. There's a lot of Walking Dead you didn't review (that's also true of the tv show come to think of it)
Watching & reviewing the rest of TWD would be a massive waste of his time, I have to imagine.
@@christopherlowery3797 You're not wrong. As he said in one of his Joker videos, "It sounds like a zombie show that went on a few seasons longer than it should." All I was saying (where the show was concerned) was that he hadn't reviewed a lot of it. The part before that, if it wasn't clear, was my referring to the Telltale Games Walking Dead series.
anyone remember a few years ago when moms were claiming mass effect had full frontal simulated sex
What about mothers against dead space?
I mean if you want to put it that way, the Witcher anyone
@@hibarikyoya854 really?
The digital version on switch is literally installing when I see this
i've never played this game, but i am glad it exists. Also i really enjoyed this video, whenever i get to listen to someone just share their fond memories of video games like this it always makes me smile and cheer me up. Here's one from me - in the iron Man game for xbox 360 there's a lengthy mission where you have to save Pepper and prevent the facility she's inside from being blown up buy tons of tanks and missiles, this mission was so challenging i decided to draw a complete map of the area, highlighting the most dangerous sections and what type of enemies frequent them, what angles the missiles tend to give me the most trouble reaching in time - so i also included time estimates depending on my usual locations and safest pathways, and recommend arsenals for different approaches. That was fun^^
I just bought this game a few days ago on sale for my switch I tried playing it normally without a guide. I was so utterly confused I kept failing because I was getting sucked into the cheesy 90s slasher movie that it is. Eventually i gave up looked up a guide wrote every single time so I could do a perfect run I've never been more determined to beat a game just so I could watch the full movie it took a few tries but I finally beat it. Anyway great timing for this review keep up the great work stay safe love you and anybody else reading this and remember WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU NIGHT TRAP.
Who here think he should stream this game, I would like to see it in action.
Feelings are real, but they are not reality. - Jeremy Jahns, 2020
I now want a play by play let's play with Jeremy. Never played it, or sought to but should be hilarious to watch him play.
Ah Night Trap, got it for the first time on the 25th Anniversary Limited Run version... played it with my friends and I must say, having the animated movie icons in the bottom make it pretty playable, with just still icons, it's amazing how people figured it all out. Fun time indeed!
Can I just say that Jeremy has gotten progressively more attractive over the past 11 years of being on UA-cam?
If you're doing this, the next logical step would be Ride to Hell: Retribution. Playing it is like gargling acid filled with red hot spiked iron balls. Or Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing - but with a twist; the objective is to lose the race.
Let the fun begin. (¬‿¬)
The true best worst game is Deadly Premonition
Night trap isnt in that category.
Doubt he enjoyed your mentions while he is obviously fond of this game.
I like gargling acidic spiky hot balls more than playing either of those games lol
Ride To Hell Retribution is the only game I've ever played where every single thing that can be bad, is bad.
After this review/documentary:
Bought it, played it, beat it.
It was the most fun me and my girlfriend have had in a while. Wicked hard without any help, but stupid fun.
Man, I remember the VHS I got from way back (came with a gaming magazine) that advertised this and other SEGA CD games. I miss those glorious days.
Jeremy. I BEG of you. PLEASE review Pokemon Sword and Shield. I know you're not INTO Pokemon but that would make the review ALL THE MORE INTERESTING. Also I totally think he'd pick either Cinderace or Inteleon as a starter....at least I hope he would. I really hate Rillaboom lol.
Kind of bums me out hes not super consistent with game reviews, I know movies are his shtick but his video game reviews are just as interesting.
@@AlphaladZXA i REALLY enjoy his game reviews-the fact that he gets just as into them as his film reviews is just nice to see.
1:30 i just want to wach how they play mk 11
Night Trap is currently 80% off on the Nintendo Eshop right now for a whopping $2.99! I used my gold points and got it for free. Thank you Jeremy. I have never played this before but I am really looking forward to it now.
I legit got this game because you talked about it in your journals. I understand why too. Been playing it non stop! It's just good campy fun!
Check out my short film Jeremy! I'd make this more personal, but I think my comments are getting marked as spam lmao
I wonder if Jeremy plays D&D. He seems like he’d love it if he doesn’t.
Im like 85% sure he does or did.
I too am a Night Trap fan, a "Night Trapper" if you will. haha I didn't have Sega CD back in the day, but I tried it on an emulator a few years back and I have it now on Nintendo Switch and I'm loving it. There's something oddly immersive and re-playable about it. A truly interactive movie. It's a shame there wasn't a Night Trap 2 or other FMV games that were as good as Night Trap.
I never play this, but now i really want it to, because the love and the passion of you, you got me men, you got me. Awesome.
Not gonna lie, I haven’t played my vita in 5 years 😅
I absolutely love that system, but Sony ended support way to early.
If you go to the hub and see a beautiful woman remember it could be a trap
Just bought this game on my Switch last night for less than $2 because I’ve heard you rave about it so much! Can’t wait to play!
There was once a play in Hollywood called "Tamara." It took place in a American Legion hall that seems like it started its life as a 1920's mansion.
You go in there and are introduced to the cast in the meeting room and then you choose who you want to follow and everyone splits up and gets a different perspective of the play. It was bitchin! (yes, I'm from the 1970's).
The cast goes about their business in the mansion and ignores the masses of people following them around. Your video made me think of it.
At one point, I got separate from my group and I ended up alone in a room with a crazy maid on her knees at her bed, pounding a cross between her head and the bed, praying for forgiveness.
It was amazing. Like being a ghost.
Of course a whale got triggered by this.
"The Karen" has been ruining fun since the beginning of mankind.
I played this game with a bunch of friends and we had a war room with a whiteboard plotting all the appearances. We managed to trap all of them at some point, but I remember that we still got a shitty ending.
I wasn’t born yet when this game was released. I grew up by video games ratings. When I learned about this game as a teenager I was very interested. When it got released on Nintendo Switch I grab it quickly off limited run games. Horror is my favorite film gene and the chessy acting is so over the top and I love it.
Anyone remember phantasmagoria?! This instantly reminded me of when I opened my video game catalog and saw images of actual people in video games! Never did play it though.
Always thumbs up these videos, either good reviews of things I've seen or a recommendation of something to checkout
Victor always reminded me of Dracula, if Dracula had dressed like the Seventh Doctor.
"I did it for me" Jeremy is a Vita fan. I love your channel even more knowing this.
Hey, Jeremy. You should review metal gear and metal gear 2: solid snake. I was always surprised you didn't. Maybe this quarantine is a good opportunity.
I never knew about this game. I was wonderfully unaware of drama in my childhood. That something so cheesy caused so much uproar. I remember when Metallica caused an uproar too with people physically boycotting the stores. Ha! Those were very weird times. If only we could go back in time and showed them an episode of Game Of Thrones just to see them lose their minds!
Since you're interested in Night Trap, Mortal Kombat, and that whole congressional hearing that kicked off the ESRB system, if highly recommend Gaming Historian's documentary on it. I feel like you'd love it, especially given how much you enjoy My Life in Gaming's work.
Netflix would be stupid not to put Night Trap there. The Technology clearly exists. Bandersnatch, everyone.
I have an obsession with Night Trap as well. In regards to the ESRB 3 games started it:
-Mortal Kombat
-Night Trap
-Lethal Enforcers
If you thought the congress hearing was bad about MK and NT, you should hear them talk about Lethel Enforcers. They sayd the idea is to kill innocent people in the game and that It's BAD! Even tho you get punished for doing so. You can watch the whole congress hearing on the website just look it up. It's quite hilarious. Especially the fights between the President of Nintendo and Sega throwing mud at each other lol.
I LOVED this game when it came out for SEGA! I didn't make a blue-print of the house, but my brother would sit with me and write down witch room to go to at what time. It's funny how my parents never had any issues with this gaem, like all of those politicians did. I guess they just never noticed the vampire stuff.
I remember the Night Trap theme song and occasionally hum it from time to time.
@Jeremy please sometime in a year or so do a John Carpenter marathon as his views were always forgotten about til they got on VHS an now dvd an blu ray. Would love to see you review 4 or 5 of his gems. Huge thanks if only for taking the time to read this beg/request. An yes this game is infamously known.
The game was actually a part of the so-called surveillance video game genre, a subgenre of FMV games in the early and mid 90s. Other more or less popular titles included Voyeur 1 (you're looking for proof that a senator is corrupt by surveilling the windows of the building he and his friends and foes are, and no there's no nudity) and Voyeur 2 (you're spying a house of secrets populated by people who may have killed their patriarch, and it's basically a very soft erotic thriller with a bit nudity) as well as Corey Haim's Double Switch (same as Night Trap but it's a caper).
Thanks for the kind words. I played Jeff.
For old games back in the day, I used to mapped everything out. You’re not the only one. Lol
I first heard of this game from the AVGN review of the sega CD. I thought it looked really funny, thanks for reviewing it Jeremy.
If you like Night Trap, you should ABSOLUTELY try to find a way to play Phantasmagoria. It was a OC adventure horror game using the same kind of video tech, with ridiculously unconvincing CGI environments
Love your passion for this bud!
Hey Jeremy, I subscribe to your channel long ago I like your videos honestly this is the first one the I love! Please Keep talking about things like these, love from Perú
Feelings are real but not always reality.. well spoken SIR
The Vita doesn't exist anymore in Sony's eyes (such an underrated system)
...and thanks for giving MLiG a shoutout!
You're producing some great videos during this pandemic Jeremy, wonderful stuff :)
