The news item from the Seven Network on 26 May 1993 reports on growing calls for a video game classification system in Australia and examines the controversy around the game Night Trap.
Night Trap was an interactive movie video game released for Sega CD in 1992. It generated controversy in Australia and the US for featuring violence against women.
The game was withdrawn from sale in the US but later re-released. A 25th anniversary edition came out in 2017.
