All right, time to revive this with a new issue and an old one with new information. The new issue: I looked up Lethal Enforcers by Konami, and it used the Justifier gun for the Sega CD, Genesis and Super NES. Joe Liberman thought of it as a real revolver like gun. News to Liberman: Revolver guns are not blue and do not have a cord connected to it. Did he even play the game? No. He is definately one of the worst people in the government along with Jack Thompson, and Hillary Clinton to blame violence on video games. Now the old issue: Night Trap. I was looking on www.sega-16.com and I saw a thing of the history of the Sega CD and said stuff of Night Trap. Now, it was first released on the Sega CD back on it's launch day back in 1992. Did sales of the CD did well in it's first and second year? Yes, because how could the CD sell six million consoles in five years. Now people loved the Sega CD and were promised more good titles. Then the government speaks. Liberman and his buddies in Congress go on and say Night Trap is violent. He lied about stuff. Liberman said that you had to kill women. What was he thinking? Now is it obvious: Joesph Liberman never PLAYED NIGHT TRAP and never bought a SEGA GENESIS and SEGA CD! You don't kill women, you save them. I can't believe that the Congress debated this just when Doom was just coming out. It is like that Congress is watching us behind our backs while we are playing games right? We all have rights and the government wants our rights on video games away. Anyways, because of the hearings, the Sega CD started failing, and companies were leaving the CD.

If you don't like it, go to Canada. Besides, the Sega CD failed because it did nothing new except add grainy videos, scratchy digital sound and looong load times. Like the Saturn, it was hard to produce for, and hardly worth the effort.

Uhm... no... if we don't like it, we'll keep on complaining, and lobbying, and fighting, until the stupid laws passed around such subjects are repealed.
That's one of the privileges we have in this country. If you don't like that... go to Canada.

All right, all right I get it now. The Sega CD did fail because of the main reasons. But remeber, it was on a video game site. Now, I was starting to think about the light guns that were made. The NES had a grey Zapper and then an orange version because of looks of it looked like a real gun. In the 90s, the Super Scope for SNES, Menacer on Genesis, Namco light guns on the PS1 and 2, and Saturn light gun were released in the U.S. The reason there was no Dreamcast light gun in America was because of the Columbine Massacre five months before the Dreamcast launch. For the people in the government, Jack Thompson is married, had children and let his kids buy violent games. He even said it on live TV. Thompson screwed up big time with that one. Maybe it is the reason that he is always complains mainly on Grand Theft Auto. Hillary Clinton is married and had a child a long long time ago and probably never bought a video game system for the kid. For the exception of the two mentioned above in the government, how many people are married, had kids, and saw or get the kid a violent game, even if those people made lies? I am serious about people banning certain games they care about getting banned. For example: Thompson and Clinton: GTA.

Mozart you honestly think people have that much of a say over their government?

Well yes, personally I do.
But even if I didn't, how does that change what I said -- we all have the privilege to do so, and some might say the responsibility.

I have to agree with m0zart about people's rights over the government. Everyone knows that they have the rights over them but do not have the guts to say it to them. I'm just saying, what will happen in the last three years of this decade for games? Clinton will probably win as president but I don't want that to happen because of her policies other than games. Plenty of bills will be issued to ban sales to minors but that will never happen.
P.S. Can anyone come up with games that should be controversial and not any of the main ones that are used today from people such as Jack Thompson, Clinton, and Joe Lieberman for example? They just focus on one game and not on many other games

Rest assured there is actually very little chance of her winning. She's too cold and has too much baggage to win.
I could care less about all of the politicians trying to get rid of M rated games (or whatever they try to do). Did you guys hear about the bill (can't remember where this is) some politician is trying to pass to ban sales of M rated games to anyone under 30? That, just like all of the other gaming bills, are so ridiculous it would be struck down instantly the moment it was enacted. This is going to continue to happen until politicians find a new scapegoat.
On a related note, Gamestop now has a policy in which they fire employees who sell games to minors.

Are you serious a? That there is a bill that they are trying to use to ban M rated games to under 30 year olds. Anyone between 20-29 would be really angry over this. And I am also glad ( Although earlier, I said there would be no banning minors violent games) to see GameStop ahead of everyone else. Yeah, well, I rated Night Trap on it's violence now and it is a PG-13 film if it was released in theaters. There is no excuse for the government to review and come up with lies. Doom was probably a big issue in 1994 and 1999, but it seems like it has died down. The only thing I see that they will keep complaining is Grand Theft Auto games. What is with that? That is the main thing of complaints. a, I am agreeing with you about Hillary Clinton. She should probably lose to that Obama guy. She agreed in 2002, to allow the 2003 Iraqi invasion, now she wants to get the troops out of here. It is a big issue with Clinton, since she was the First Lady with Bill and did certain things. If she is in office, who is the lady, Bill? I think there would be enough support in New York. It be bad for a woman in the White House. Women are taking over everything now these days. I wish I could go back to 1992-94 and tell people that the violent games made during those years were not that violent on the consoles and Night Trap had hardly any violence.

I'd think that anyone 18-29 would be angry about that, but it's not like it could ever happen.We're in agreement on the gaming bills, but I am not however seeing eye to eye with you on the no woman in the White House issue; this isn't the 50s so I suggest you keep that opinion to yourself.
