Sega CD FMV Game Ground Zero: Texas to Receive Remaster
Kentucky-based developers Screaming Villains have been working hard at remastering ’90s FMV games from Digital Pictures such as Night Trap, Double Switch, and Corpse Killer so that modern audiences can enjoy them, be it through their gameplay or by laughing at their newly-restored cheesiness (mostly the latter).

Mom was … a bit dismayed. This wasn’t
Gremlins or
Ghostbusters, where the scares aren’t grounded and, maybe, even a little campy.
