Maybe 2 years too late, but I've learned that you have to make use of the bodyguards in Kingpin. This game is for people who love NPC fights in Gmod or infights in Doom.

It is still to this day so funny to me that when the whole "Think of them kids" was going on, no one bothered to check that average gamer was over 20 years old. And to this day it's something like 35.

It's even funnier (or perhaps sadder) that most of the politicians who were crying "think of the children" were probably thinking about children a little too much. Cough Cough Epstein Island Cough.

I have never owned or played Kingpin. But the devs Wolfenstein game, Return to Castle Wolfenstein 2001, is still my favorite of the franchise. I'd definitely buy the remaster for Kingpin and Sin, but neither have been released, yet. Wish Nightdive Studios would remaster AVP2 2001 as well.

Watching these news bits in retrospect, it seems like they were primarily concerned about the advertising methods of the games rather than the games themselves. I think this is a reason why we don't see edgy, shocking, or otherwise absurd video game print ads any more like the ones we'd see in Gamepro in the late 90s/early 00s

Clinton and Lieberman would later make their stances more clear when they would try to ban the sale of violent games in 2005, and also try to federalize the ratings board, in response to the leftover Hot Coffee code in GTA San Andreas, and then later in 2007 when Clinton and Spitzer tried to craft anti-video game laws for the state of New York thanks to the Mass Effect sex scenes and the sale of Manhunt 2 as an M title.

Good stuff my dude. I hadn't ever looked into Kingpin much despite games like these being perfect subject matter for my own material and....well the game itself looked surprisingly undercooked which is also surprising given how much trouble it caused and what it led to. But you're definitely right in how it could have been any other violent game either same kind of marketing and it would have gotten the same reaction. Like I'd argue Soldier of Fortune is even more violent than this game was (thanks ghoul engine), so if it had been released around this time woooo boy.

Kingpin is one of those games that's not quite perfect but is still a fun experience. Funny enough another Quake 2 Engine game "SiN" would also have the same "Leg/Chest/Head" armor system with each limb having different armor items. I do agree that the difficulty is wonky though, I think the Tommy Gun isn't quite useless but there is a notable issue where the early game weaponry is far more useful in enemy hands than yours.

I cant tel you how many local and national news reports there were about the "dangers" of letting children play Vice City. Any and every crime was being blamed on the game. It might be a good video idea to chronicle the outrage for people who are too young to remember it.

24:24 Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is not a sequel to RTCW. It is an expansion that takes place during the events of the base game. Wolfenstein [2009] is the only true sequel to RTCW, however it merely could count as a requel, retconning the events of the Original Encounter for the Mac Family ports of Wolfenstein 3D (particularly it's antagonist Hans Grosse). Wolfenstein: The New Order is a full-fledged requel. It restarts the franchise while also serving as a sequel to the original universe, particularly continues where Wolfenstein [2009] left off.
