This character is probably at least somewhat responsible for my love of REALLY dumb but hot busty blondes. Not marriage material, but I had a lot of fun with the 1st girlfriend. She even made the same ditzy squeals. *swoons*

I had Night Trap and Sewer Shark on the Sega CD. There was also a Gabriel Knight computer game I had dealing with werewolves or something. I want to say Phantasmagoria was another around that time in the 90s, never played it though.
They were definitely a fad for a bit.

Phantasmagoria was a great one. Really liked that game.
13th guest was another good game. horror puzzle game which was odd but fun
and who can forget Zork Nemesis -- still love the ambiance of that game.
Zork Grand Inquisitor was the last one I played I think. Zork did the best with the live action games I think, they just fit the story so well

My friends and I would watch cheese ball B-Movies - and one time we were watching some random movie and my one friend suddenly started laughing and said "A Rastafarian in a jeep is going to bust out in a moment" and we where like "What? we have never seen this movie?" - then it happened, and then in like 5 min he was like "A zombie is going to come out there and get the guy" - and boom...
Apparently it was a movie that was made, not released, used footage for a FMV game he had- and then years later was put back as a movie... was quite funny.
edit: I dont think it was corpse killer... but maybe? was it turned into a movie? oh my tylenol kid brain is acting up again

Pretty sure night trap was the one that kicked off the rules for video games for sexualizing women and violence, think that's why I wanted it more.

Yeah it had girls in lingerie and had a slasher style look. Playing in my own Friday the 13th is exactly why I wanted it .

Oh the rumors that went around about a nude scene lol. Think that's why people replayed it so many times

It didn’t create new rules so to speak, but it was used as a poster child for anti-video game violence senators in the 90s, like Lieberman
Standard “won’t someone think of the children?!?” bullshit to censor. It did prompt the industry to create ESRB ratings and caused many major chains to not stock A (adult) rated games or certain M rated games

Phantasmagoria was a mix of traditional point & click Sierra adventure games and FMV gameplay from what I recall. It had gore and a rape scene (although it wasn’t explicit from what I recall), which is what gained it notoriety. The gore was pretty cheesy, though. I remember at the end of the game you have to convince the demonically possessed husband to let you go and some axe thing splits the main character’s head, but it’s some cheesy rubber head looking thing that vaguely looks like the actress
It was pretty high production for a video game at the time, though

It was one of deaths when your husband caught you. The demon thing that tears your face apart as well.

I mean it came out in like 94 or 95, CGI in games was pretty primitive still. FMV in games pretty much got dumped once they could make convincing CGI of human characters at a relatively reasonable cost
also lol at that video, it's probably been 30 years since I've played it, but the music that plays at the end where the main character is running through the hallways has been stuck in my head for just as long. Probably because I had to replay that section a shitload of times after dying
I forgot how hot the main actress was

This game was before my time.
I had the opportunity to play it at a private party where the host happened to be an aracade nerd. For whatever reason he collected a dozen arcade machines in his garage. They were of course all rigged to cost you nothing and just play. He had Donkey Kong and some other ones I knew but I had never seen this before. I knew immediately that it's visuals were amazing. Especially for the arcade era.
But god damn if you could consider this a game at all. It's a series of extremely punishing quick time events (as we know them today). I failed a lot but managed to make some progress. Our party man was drunk as fuck and just plowed through it like it was nothing. Not even paying attention to his actions. Which was impressive in its own way. No doubt about it he fed a lot of quarters to this machine in the 80s and had a certain affection for it like you do.
It's 100% unique and amazing I agree. The arcade aspect of it is shit though.

We used to have our b'days at Diamond Jims or Aladdin's Castle each year and they'd put everything on free play. That was the only way we ever made any progress in Dragon's Lair, it may have even been a sequel at that point, would have been 1992 - 1996 or so. There were a bunch of games (99.9%) that were going to be bottomless quarter pits no matter how good you were. Especially stuff like Time Cop, a lot of Cruising USA, few others I can't remember. Just not really humanely possible to beat on one quarter. Oh, we beat the Terminator 2 arcade game that way, Aerosmith's Revolution X or whatever it was called? And Turtles in Time. Man, those were the days.

Man, fuck those 2 games. They were quarter guzzlers. I beat Revolution X, but never beat T2. I got to the final fight with the T-1000 and couldn't knock him into the molten metal
