Thrill Kill

Thrill Kill is an unreleased 1998 fighting video game for the Sony PlayStation. While the technical feat of allowing four players to fight simultaneously in the same room was to be a major selling point, this was overshadowed by the controversy surrounding the game’s depictions of violence and sexual content. Examples of this content include BDSM and fetishistic costumes and acts, limb dismemberment, and violent special moves with suggestive names such as “Bitch Slap” “Swallow This” and “Going Down”. Thrill Kill notably received the rare “Adults Only” (AO) rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board, and was the first game to receive such a rating for its violent content; all prior AO ratings had been for sexual content. Owing to this, Thrill Kill was ultimately not released; near-finished builds of the game, however, were later bootlegged and uploaded to the Internet.
