Night Trap (Sega CD)

This page or section needs more videos.
There's a whole lotta words or pictures here, but not enough videos. Please fix this.

Night Trap, the "classic" Sega CD FMV game, has you watching over five teenage girls in a mansion outfitted with a series of cameras and traps. Protect Dana Plato (of Diff'rent Strokes fame) and the aptly-named S.C.A.T. (Sega Control Attack Team) as you rid the home of vampires using the aforementioned traps.

Unused FMVs#

All of the unused FMVs are found on the second disc. They can easily be viewed with the Sega CD Movie Viewer.

You were originally allowed to (accidentally) trap Commander Simms while he is fighting with Sheila in the living room. This video is present in all releases of the game, but is never played due to a developer oversight. The 2017 remaster added it back in.

An alternate take of Victor's "wall trap!" scene. The scene is almost exactly the same as the one which is usually played; he delivers the line in a different tone, and there is noticeably more debris flying around when the trap is opening and closing.

Replicated FMVs#

The videos below have been copied to the second disc to help decrease loading times during the last part of the game.

2507007A.SGA and 2507007B.SGA#

Both of these videos are exactly the same, bit-for-bit. This is the final trap sequences where Sarah exclaims to Kelly "you're all mine now!"

2511027A.SGA to 2511027D.SGA#

As with the above two, all four of these videos are the same. This follows the scene above and they both are the good ending where Sarah is trapped.

0542124A.SGA#

This was replicated from the first disc for an unknown reason. It is the long "party time" scene with Megan.
