* [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch]] -: One of the ''biggest'' victims of this trope next to the CD-I system. It received a lot of enemies who had never even played the game (and even ''admitted'' to having never played it). They claimed that the game was about kidnapping and raping women, never mind that if a girl died, you got a ''game over'' because you were supposed to ''save'' the women. As for the scantily clad? The most scantily clad you get are nightgowns... which would be scantily clad to fundamentalist Muslim or Amish people and no one else.
* [[Cult Classic]]: Its legacy as a legendarily bad FMV game with corny acting has given it a following that continues to the present day, to the point that it is being rereleased for ''modern'' platforms.
* [[Narm]]: A lot of the dialogue, but the ending especially.
** [[Narm]]: A lot of the dialogue, but the ending especially. This was actually invoked, too. The "Violence" in the game was deliberately designed to be so cartoonish and over-the-top that nobody would possibly think to try it in real life. The crew was even laughing on-stage. at how ridiculous it was.
* [[Nightmare Retardant]]: '''Invoked. And how.''boy'', did they succeed.
* [[Overshadowed Byby Controversy]]: One of the games that contributed to the ESRB ratings; much like [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch]] above, one bathroom scene in particular led to intense Senate hearings in the United States, although the game specifically calls you out for failing to spare the woman.
* [[Play the Game, Skip the Story]]: Odds are, you're too busy looking for Augers to actually care about the story. ''25th Anniversary Edition'' fixes this problem by letting you unlock a mode that lets you watch the story details on their own.
* [[So Bad Its Good]] - While the gameplay itself is lacking, the movie that plays out during it is pretty damn hilarious. (Sadly, you won't see most of it if you're going for a perfect score.) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUinUNuM3xk Click here] to watch it. (Don't worry, it's completely work safe.)
* [[Polished Port]]: The updated releases for the CD 32X, 3DO and home computers featured much-improved video quality over the blocky, stuttery Sega CD original version of the game.
** The [[PS4]] and [[Xbox One]] versions, since they're both on much larger discs and have beefy modern video hardware, give the best video quality ever, with not a scrap of artifacting.
* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny|"Seinfeld" Is Unfunny]]: Younger players who try this game for the first time will probably fail to see what what the fuss was about. Like mentioned before, the "violence" is deliberately over-the-top and cartoonish, and the bathroom scene is very tame by modern standards. This is probably the reason the re-release got a T for Teen rating.
* [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]] -: While the gameplay itself is lacking, the movie that plays out during it is pretty damn hilarious. (Sadlysadly, you won't see most of it if you're going for a perfect score.). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUinUNuM3xk Click here] to watch it. (Dondon't worry, it's completely work safe.).
