Behold the Bloody Horror of 8-Bit Fatality

[Plauged1]

I wanna be the first to say, I called it. Violence of video games has always been there, it is the level of detail using graphics and memory that allows people to stop using their imagination and see right in front of them the violence that unfolds.

I love that Dig Dug picture too.

WADDLE DEE NO!

I wonder if that could be used as a avatar...=|

Try explaining that point of argument to fanboys, idiots, and bloodlusters. I think you might make an impact.

Great stuff.
I kind of like Bob Dob's approach better though.

Some of those old games really were that violent though. Anyone here remember Chiller. That was a sick bit of programming right there.

Chiller was very disturbing. Any game where you have to shoot the vice handle on the vice to crush a helpless person's head is really sick.

Yea, that's the level I first think of too; you could also shoot off pieces of flesh from the victim before crushing/cutting-off the head.

I was kind of hoping they would remake it for the wii.
Seriously though, how do you think they would rate a game like that; it came out long before game ratings: a simpler time, when parental controls consisted of a firm smack to the head.
