Night Trap, the cheesy FMV horror game that riled Congress, is back

Mining nostalgia for capitalist pursuits doesn’t always mean bringing back timeless classics. Sometimes it means re-releasing games that only made sense in a certain time and place. The latter option best describes Sony’s latest effort to restore a retro game.

The physical version of the PS4 game.

Night Trap, the Sega CD live-action full-motion video game about a deadly sleepover, is coming to PlayStation 4 before the end of spring, according to Sony and publisher Screaming Villains. It’s the 25th anniversary of Night Trap, and Screaming Villains wants to celebrate that with both a digital and limited-edition physical release of the game on Sony’s console. The disc versions will even have box art that looks exactly like the Sega CD release from a quarter-century ago.
