Splatterhouse - Controversy

Controversy

Splatterhouse generated an outcry and calls for it to be banned in its original arcade form, due to extreme graphic violence. This is notable because in the days before video game manufacturers had ratings standards, it was rare for any game to be banned. A more muted response occurred over the ported PC-Engine/TG-16 release.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:

    Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
