Eugene Jarvis, head of Raw Thrills, recently talked about the arcade title Target: Terror with MTV Multiplayer. This game is definitely one that you need to have special sense of humor to enjoy.
“Target: Terror,” released last month for the Wii, is awesome — just not in the way you’d think. It’s not a very good game in the traditional sense, but it’s full of hysterical b-movie charm (think “Evil Dead”). It’s a different kind of good.
Jarvis revealed the game was inspired by the US 9/11 tragedy. While the film industry has taken a grave and reverent approach to portraying the event, Jarvis has leaned the other way.
“Target: Terror was inspired by the human drama of the 9/11 tragedy,” said Jarvis in an e-mail interview. “I think video games spend too much time in fantasy realms of little relevance to life today. The 9/11 story is so rich in action, destruction, death, heroism, megalomania, patriotism and paranoia that it begs for a video game to be made. What redblooded American would not want to turn back time and heroically change history?”
For those of you who’ve invested $39.99 on Target: Terror and got a kick out it, Jarvis say there’s a sequel already on the way.
“We’ve been working on fleshing out the storyline,” he said. “I can tell you that the heavy sh$&^ is going down in Vegas — the action is going to be Apocalyptic. And yes you can still shoot ‘em in the nuts!”
