    Though your point is correct, using Larry in the context doesn’t prove your point. There isn’t much violence other than the back alley brawl.

    Even then the Atari had games like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Chiller was even on the NES.

    Most controversial games on PC are in the 90s with carmageddon and wolfenstein 3d/Doom being obvious frontrunners.

      And Mortal Kombat hit consoles in 1993, so the big, controversial hits weren’t limited to PCs in the early 90s.
