No one can argue that regardless of what you think of the game itself, Night Trap is a pretty important title. It was a major factor in the creation of the ESRB ratings system, and it is the poster child for the entire full motion video genre (for more on that, check out our Genre Spotlight article on the subject). In an effort to weed through all the speculation and opinions, Sega-16 sat down with the man who created the game: Rob Fulop himself. His gameography is a great one, with several classic Atari 2600 titles standing out, but no game has caused as much controversy as Night Trap.

Ever want to try something new in terms of presenting video games in a casual environment? It takes a certain degree of care and discretion to pull it off, especially when you’re totally unsure of how people will react. Sometimes, however, the result is more than worth the effort. Such was the case with reader Felipe Fortes, who introduced some Sonic The Hedgehog tunes while DJing at a Brazilian night club! Read the sixteenth installment of Stories from the Book of Genesis and see how he brought the house down in a good way!
Being the huge fan of video games that we are, it is no surprise that we’re fans of the Genesis. The console has a very special place in our hearts, and titles such as Phantasy Star IV, Sonic The Hedgehog (parts I and II), and Landstalker will remain favorites forever. That said, contributor Felipe Fortes was tossing around the idea of making a special DJ set comprised only of video game music and share his passion towards game music with his friends and everyone who just wants to have a terrific time at a night club.
