I'm just sitting here thinking about all the hoopla around palworld right now and I was wondering what other titles out there have been in the controversy filled category in the past few years/decade? I can think of a few, but my game interests are kinda narrow.

What are some of your picks?

I'm old enough to remember the OG Mortal Kombat controversy. If I recall, the Sega and SNES versions were different. I believe the SNES version had no blood and the Sega one had blood.

IIRC the Sega version had the blood hidden behind a code.

It's crazy the controversy that game caused, considering how tame it is compared to what has come out since. But the first MK opened the floodgates to graphic violence in games.

On the menu for the Genesis version Down, Up, Left, Left, A, Right, Down. Opened up the cheat menu.

Burned in to my head as a Sega kid growing up.
