Also there were many more adult titles for the Atari 2600 from a company called Mystique, including Beat'em and Eat'em, may be the most disgusting game of all time.

This article's history seems pretty...abridged. Of course it includes the obligatory Doom and Mortal Kombat, and it should as they are influential, but there other games before them that they were influenced by, and there have been may games since then influenced by them.

Including these homebrew titles, such as V-Tech rampage, kind of makes them the Paris Hilton's of gaming (undeserved celebrity) because while they are available to anyone, they are not well known commercial games. Anyone who sits down with a game and takes an hour or two to learn how to use a level editor can make their own violent fan fiction game too, so it's not that these games are remarkable or unique. They are just in incredibly bad taste.

I have to agree with Ramone, though, on SC RPG. It's an interestng concept and it doesn't rely on gratuitous violence and gore to achieve it's goals.]]>Nov 2nd 2007 9:38AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/18/violent-video-games-a-visual-history/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/18/violent-video-games-a-visual-history/Nov 2nd 2007 11:19AM
