Phantasmagoria makes murder look as sexy as it was in the Old Days

I-Mockery.com -- the Internet's answer to Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter -- recently featured a piece on the horrific kills in the seminal Roberta Williams classic Phantasmagoria. You may remember Ms. Williams as the naked chick on the right hand side in this picture, but since no one ever actually played that game, you probably know her better as the game designer behind the King's Quest series.

She also happened to have worked on Phantasmagoria, which some of you will recall was one of the most horrifically violent games in the history of violent gaming that still somehow managed to avoid the political scrutiny that befell the Mortal Kombat's and GTA's of the world. Of course, as you can tell from the clips in their article (and the one found above), either the politicos ignored the title because it wasn't as well known as the latest single from 2 Live Crew (and thus not as beneficial for their careers), or because everyone in Washington heartily supports the idea of killing insolent women with sharpened garden implements.

Notice I never once made a 'ho' joke. It took a lot of restraint.

(Also, in case you're wondering, there isn't any good reason for me to have posted this, aside from wanting to draw attention to just how insanely violent that game was. I-Mockery brought back a flood of terror from my childhood, and since it is October, I felt I ought to pass it on. That's the Kwanzaa spirit!)
