FROM THE ARTICLE
PF Magic Creative Director Rob Fulop found himself in the spotlight last year when Night Trap, an interactive movie game he developed for Hasbro five years ago, found its way onto Sega’s CD-ROM platform. A B-movie spoof with a loose plot featuring scantily clad coeds victimized by evil vampires, Night Trap became the symbol of all that was wrong with videogames. Toys “R” Us pulled it from the shelves, and Captain Kangaroo denounced it on network TV. Fulop discusses the lessons he learned and the future of interactive gaming with Ron Martinez, vice president for creative development at Spectrum HoloByte Inc.
