rambo at that time was actual people getting killed but everybody goes apeshit over video games when movies have people getting raped or killed or their heads blown off
The reason it was controversial was the depiction of running over people in a car in a fun willy nilly way yet this is tame in todays standards compared to the games we have now. And to me th joke was that the creators named the stickfigures like figures in the game "Gremlins" in order to lower down some of the offensiveness. DIdn't work much did it? XD
heard about this in some time magazine article regarding violent video games. imagine what the protesters would say if they saw what we have now. supposedly it is now incredibly rare to find the original arcade game since many were destroyed by protesters
This was considered controvertial because of the violence? Sorry but...whoever had issues with this game was seriously pathetic. This game makes fucking Bubble Bobble look like Mortal Kombat.
@Jeffieboi Well the game came out in 1976, back when games where barely a step above Pong. Space Invaders and Pac-Man wouldn't even be invented for another 3-5 years. The NES was nearly a decade off, about the same amount of time that the PS5 will likely be released.
So yeah, a game about running over people for points when most of the competition was based off table tennis was going to stir up a little controversy.
@Jeffieboi I love the game, but of course it was controversial, especially in '76. You are running over "gremlins" (people) and they scream as they are mutilated and then they turn into graves. What other games in 1976 were like that? People weren't desensitized quite yet.
Read the description I wrote. I provided a link for download. It's freeware game. There's no rom. Just install on your pc and that's it. You're ready to play.
@Chubzdoomer You know something? People who get pissed off easily by comments on youtube left by others they dont know piss me off. Now Im pissed off that your comment is pissing me off.
@MegapiemanPHD You better stop getting pissed off by people who get pissed off easily by comments on YouTube left by others that don't know before I get even more pissed off and kick your ass. Huh huh huh, huh huh huh.
wow, people cpmplained about THIS? what fuckin faggots.

Try google searching for this file. If you can download it and put in the same directory where the death race executable is located.
