Anybody knows that Dana Plato appeared in the Sega CD FMV game, Night Trap... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember this game so well..it was one of those cheesy horror video games that kind of capture the 80s feel as a whole. Of course, Dana gets top billing as a undercover agent that you have to help her out against the vampires by setting up traps against them and not your main character that you have to help out. Anybody recall this FMV game at all? I remember back in 1993 and thinking it's Kimberly Drummond all over again.

Everytime I hear the voice, I think Kimberly led a different life after Diff'rent Strokes and I expected both Willis, Arnold, and Mr. Drummond to come out of that room saying, "What's going on?" LOL I guess she shall be regarded as the first former 80s teen idol celebrity to appear in a video game before Corey Haim and Wil Wheaton.

yes, i had that game and played it just a few years ago. My friend had a sega genesis, and i still had the sega cd system, so we put the together and played this game and the one with corey haim. They were very similar, both involved setting traps. This game was actually pretty cool, but you had to time the last 5 minutes right to win, either you can listen to the couple telling their story of why the are trying to kill every one or you can set the traps and save everyone. Needless to say, we played it a few times just to get the whole story.

I heard about the game through her True Hollywood story episode. I remember wanting to buy it for my brother as a joke, but no video game store carried it anymore. But looking at some of the videos of the game, it does look like a cool game.

I remember that game. Those graphics were state of the art back then. I remember reading about it in Gamepro or EGM when it came out. Sega CD wasn't that popular of a system though. I was a Super Nintendo person anyway. I remember they also had a version for Sega CD 32X when it came out a couple years later, but the graphics weren't that much better.

I recently played this at a convention. The graphics on the Sega CD were disappointingly bad. Of course, you know how graphics that look pretty good at the time end of looking worse to you when you get accustomed to better. There's a version for the 3DO and a PC version, I think. And there's an uncenscored version with a little bit of nudity. Check wikipedia. I've certainly got my eye on getting this game eventually. It's a cheap exploitation movie in the form of a video game.

The footage for Night Trap was actually produced in 1987. It was originally meant to be released for the unreleased NEMO video game system, which used VHS tapes instead of ROM cartridges.
