1988's Narc was one of the first games to make even non-reactionary parents a little concerned. You were supposed to arrest the throngs of drug dealers and sexually deviant clowns by just moving your cop character over them. But they liked to throw stuff at you like hypodermic needles, so the better option was to thin their numbers a bit with your machine gun. The best option was to fire a rocket-propelled grenade into a large crowd of them and blow them all up off of the top of the screen, and then watch them return only as a rain of disembodied arms and legs. The website for next year's sequel is live now.
