This article talks about Kelli twice but never says who he/she is.

"Kelli and other SCAT agents" => she is a SCAT agent :)

The article repeatedly refers to the monsters in the game as "vampires"... to the best of my memory, these monsters were actually referred to as "Augers" or something like that. I don't remember them being called vampires. If someone could verify vampires, that would be great.

Also, I played through the game about 12 years ago, and I don't remember anything even remotely shocking... why was this game so frequently cited for ESRB reasons? -JX


 * I totally agree with your arguments. I'll change the article for that "vampires" edit. --Abdull 20:41, 9 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I never owned the game but the rumor was that if you failed or something one of the bad guys took a power drill to the head of one of the girls... but then again that was coming from a kid at the time.


 * It's funny how a game like this gets a "Mature" from the ESRB, while a game like Snatcher, which features bloody intestines and the bloody result of a decapitation gets a "Teen". Chipmunk01 18:36, 15 May 2006 (UTC)


 * 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!"

Production of Night Trap
The secret video sequence you can unlock at the end of the credits (see NEMO for more) is supposed to show footage of a NEMO video game console (cool!), that shows a prototype version of Night Trap (=Scene Of Crime, even cooler) in December 1986 (!!... that is what the video says). Does that mean Night Trap actually was filmed/produced in 1986, but was released to the Sega CD not until October 1992 - 7 years after the scenes were filmed?

A 1986 production would fit with the game's 80's pop music theme and the characters' messed-up dressings.

Dana Plato is Called Kelly in the Sega CD version not Kelli, when SCAT finally enter the house in the Sega CD version, they call themselves the Special Control Attack Team not the Sega Control Attack Team.(So it wasn't just changed after hitting other consoles/pc). You are not working security for anyone, but rather trying to find out what is going on, and you have spliced into the system of traps/cameras that the martins(vampires) have set up to catch the guests(victims) with. And as far as I am aware, there were 2 Sega CD Versions, the 2nd one slightly edited after the controversy surrounding it, and the 32X version had the content of the re-released Sega CD version.

The original character name in the script was simply "Kelly" with no last name. When the packaging copy was written, a last name was needed. To avoid legal problems, a friend of the company named "Kelli Medd" was paid $1 to sign a release to use her name... Ktwelsh (talk) 21:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Night Trap was filmed sometime in 1987: if you watch the documentary that came with the PC version, Dangerous Games, behind the scenes footage shows scripts and film markers have 1987 stamped on them. The introduction scene in the non-Sega versions (PC, Macintosh, and 3DO) use the original footage during the introduction. The Game Over scenes were re-shot for the Sega-CD and Sega 32X release (SCAT becomes "Sega Control Attack Team", the trap controller becomes the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive controller). In total, there are six versions of the game:
 * Sega-CD, 1992 (Original): Uncut version of the game featuring the Sega introduction. Poorest video quality.
 * Sega-CD, 1993 (Censored): Censored version of the Sega-CD release (Lisa & Ashley being drained of their blood).
 * Sega32X, 1994: Same as original Sega-CD release, featuring Sega introduction. Good video quality.
 * Panasonic 3DO, 1995: Similar to Sega32X release, but has the 1987 introduction. Best video quality.
 * PC & Macintosh, 1996: Sega32X video quality, 1987 introduction, new pause screen, new GUI.

I own three versions of Night Trap: Original Sega-CD, Sega32X, and the PC version. The computer release is probably the hardest to find. It has a copyright date of 1996 on the back. It is the only one to carry the subtitle "Director's Cut," although the video content is the same as in the original uncut Sega-CD release.
