Talk:Night Trap

message: There's a line in the article that states that Night Trap was banned in the UK. This was never the case, Night Trap was never banned in the UK. The line in question also has a reference to GamerPro (Jan 1995), I've found the magazine in question and the text is a bit confused, its states "...it will also be re-released in the UK, where it was previously banned with a 15-17 rating.", there are a number of things wrong with this.
*The UK doesn't have a 15-17 rating. It has a 15 rating.
*In 1993 Night Trap was rated as 15 by the BBFC, which means it was legally allowed to be sold. i.e. not banned by the body that had the power to ban it.
*A separate reliable source Mega, lists the official UK software charts in its November 1993 issue, and Night Trap is number 2 in the Mega CD sales chart.
I can't find any other sources to back up the "banned in the UK" claim, all the other sources and evidence point to it being wrong. If we believe that it was banned, somehow, a rated game was banned and this banned game managed to make it to the top of the sales charts and stay there for months. 
I'm going to remove the line and its reference as its obviously the journalist getting the wrong end of the stick. - X201 (talk) 11:00, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  GA push? 

message: An IP user has added Screaming Villains in the developer section of the infobox a number of times. Each time it has been removed by myself or other editors. To explain the situation for the IP user. We have set rules about which developers appear in the infobox, developers of re-releases only appear in the infobox if the game has MAJOR differences from the game when it was originally released. I can't find any source that states that the Screaming Villains version of this game changes the gameplay, adds content or presents the game in a efferent way. Without a reliable source that states this, it can't go in the infobox. - X201 (talk) 07:38, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct. Per Template:Infobox video game, ports should not be mentioned in the developer field but in the article text instead. Even in cases of major differences, I think that's more reason to not include it. Given the notability of this game being tied to its original release history, it doesn't make sense to add any developer there other than the original. There is a section of the article dedicated to the port, mentioning the developer there is enough. TarkusAB 09:43, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

message: the Plot section ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Trap#Plot )
includes:
   "What the gang does not know is the house is infested with Augers,
    vampiric beings that need blood to survive. The Martin family themselves 
    are in the process of becoming vampires. "  
But this doesn't seem to follow the actual plot present in the game. The Martin family members seem to be pretty well depicted as being vampires outright, or something similar, and not making any sort of transformation. There's multiple hints and context clues given to the audience/player that the family is ageless or immortal (or much older than the appear to be). 
Kelly (Plato's character) outright tells the control team she thinks the family is literally vampires later in the game.
There's also dialog that explains the Augers aren't vampires, but a different (albeit related) sort of creature altogether. I don't think it was cited in older edits of the article, but it did come up previously in a (now archived) portion of the talk section.

    Watch the playthrough video. When the game clock reaches 17 minutes Plato's character says, 
    "I think these might be vampires we're up against here." She and the others also call them 
    Augs and  Augers. There's also some dialogue in the video at the 22-minute mark, including:
    "What is an Auger?"
    "A vampire victim who's been half-bled and left there to die."
    "The poor creatures have just enough blood to survive, but not enough to become vampires."
    "Vampires, you gotta be jivin' me! Let's cuff these freaks and drag 'em downtown!"

replies: text: I've fixed the inaccuracy about the Martin family being "in the process of becoming vampires." I don't follow what your issue is with calling the Augers "vampiric beings", since that phrase is perfectly suited to your description of them: "aren't vampires, but a different (albeit related) sort of creature".
