This is the game that got me to buy a Sega CD. I bought the game used at a flea market with hopes of catching some nudity (it had a reputation as the Basic Instinct of video games). Well, 250 dollars of paper route money later I discovered that there was no nudity in the game. What was all the controversy over anyway?

However, I must say that looking back this game was ahead of its time. Basically you get to control cameras and booby traps all over a house, on a night which happens to be a coed sleepover party. These wierd monsters are trying to get in the house and you act as the security system, trying to catch them before they kill the girls.

Many today say the game is lame, but it was ahead of it's time for 2 reasons. First, the game played out like a big hollywood movie. Most games today try to do that. Second, it was reality TV before there was reality TV, and you had the controls so it was better then reality TV.

This game and the SEGA CD system are hallmark items of the 1990's.

Don't be fooled with rated / unrated versions of the game. They are identical except the newer versions were tagged with the new rating system.

The game itself becomes kind of tedious and dull if you don't have a walkthrough. Usually you spend your time trying to see weird scenes that you previously missed. The 32x version was much clearer than the original Sega-cd one (otherwise the exact same game).

It has an ok story to it. But it will drive you crazy. At lease Double Switch has a warning system to let you know where the people where.

Go watch a movie then press menu and select the scene you want to watch it's the same as playing Sega cd games only the Sega cd versions have terrible sound/video quality.

well great game when sega cd came out love it ebay has it cheaper its not a rare sega cd game but one of the best
