FMV game Night Trap to live on with re-release

A product of its time

Controversial “ultra-violent” ’90s full-motion video game Night Trap will, according to director and current rights holder James Riley, “come back, in better resolution and game play than before. We just want to be sure it’s the best strategy for all involved.”

Writing to fans, he said “I appreciate your on-going interest, but please understand I do plan to re-release Night Trap and have been talking with a number of interested parties to do so. However, the specific platform(s) have not been confirmed (including online) and I will let you know once we have a definite plan and release schedule.”

As much as Night Trap is the game you point to when talking about ’90s FMV titles, I don’t know that I’d actually, genuinely be interested in paying for a new version outside of the novelty factor.
