From 2010 to 2014 Richard Cobbett wrote Crapshoot, a column about rolling the dice to bring random games back into the light. This week, another rubbish FMV game that should stay in the past.
I'm not really sure what it is about Night Trap that persuaded Kickstarter donors to stump up for a remake of a game that wasn't even that interesting when it came out, but I guess there's no accounting for nostalgia. It's certainly the most talked about of the Digital Pictures games, which also included Double Switch, which was similar to Night Trap, Corpse Killer, an existential journey into pointlessness, Kids On Site, in which FMV games met heavy machinery without any of the CDs ending up in an industrial woodchopper for some reason, and a previous Crapshoot subject, Game Over, which took FMV sequences from most of the others and stitched them into a, cough, actual movie.
