Bloodlust Software is a developer of humorous PC computer games. It was originally formed in 1992 by two high school students (Ethan Petty and Icer Addis) who were angry at the rise of movements against computer game violence. To parody the situation, Bloodlust ended up making excessively violent games.
Unfortunately, Icer Addis ended up leaving to join up with Electronic Arts in making sports games. Ethan Petty has been trying to develop Timeslaughter 2, but he apparently needs funds to pay the programmers in making this game.
While their video games and overall company philosophy are more or less remembered as a provocative response to Moral Guardians, history will remember them better for NESticle, a Nintendo Entertainment System emulator, which while still filled to the brim with their trademark puerile humour, is nevertheless highly regarded for revolutionising the emulation scene through its performance, allowing NES games to be emulated at full speed even on a 486DX (albeit at the cost of accuracy as corners had to be cut in order to run on low-end hardware). They also developed Genecyst, a Sega Genesis emulator also made with performance in mind. Genecyst was also used for developing the Genesis conversion of Frogger, which also happened to be the last officially-licensed game for the Genesis in North America.[1]
