HALLOWEEN (ATARI, 1983)
A babysitter is gruesomely decapitated.
A babysitter is gruesomely decapitated.
Despite the original Halloween film having very little blood and gore, the Atari Halloween developers couldn't be bothered with that G-rated bullshit. When the player in this game dies (the babysitter, in this case), it culminates in a graphic, onscreen decapitation. Not only that, the girl continues to run around with 8-bit blood squirting from her neck.

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (NES, 1989)
Human remains play an integral part.
Human remains play an integral part.
The very concept of this game would make parents cringe today. It involves collecting Freddy's bones, carrying them onto school property, and disposing of them in the high school’s incinerator. From grave desecration to tampering with a crime scene to unlawful use of maintenance equipment, this game is just one creepy felony after another.

FRIDAY THE 13TH (NES, 1989)
Children are unceremoniously murdered.
Children are unceremoniously murdered.
The original Friday the 13th involves the brutal deaths of a bunch of camp counselors. The game developers thought that was too ghastly, so they changed it to all the children being killed instead. The player is even provided with a children counter, so they can see just how many young lives will tragically end during the course of the game.

15 children died to make this game possible.
