''Thrill Kill'' was a Fighting Game being developed for the Sony PlayStation by Paradox Development . It was cancelled by Electronic Arts a few weeks before shipping after EA acquired the original Publisher , Virgin Interactive . In a release, EA stated that they didn't want to "publish such a senselessly violent game", as they felt that it would harm their image. They also stated that they deemed the game so offensive that they would not even attempt to sell the game to be released by another publisher either. Later, former employees that had worked on the game released the full game onto the internet, and along with various beta versions. All are still widely available through filesharing. Gameplay consisted of a closed 3D room where up to four opponents would fight to the death, and proceed to finish each other off with ''Thrill Kills'', much like the Fatalities of '' Mortal Kombat ''. Instead of the usual Life Bar , characters built up a kill meter. Once this meter was full, a player's character could activate a ''Thrill Kill'' move to brutally slay an opponent. ''Thrill Kill'' was considered a technical feat for the PlayStation for allowing four players to fight simultaneously in the same room. The content included amputated and handicapped characters, and extremely violent and sexual moves with names such as "Bitch Slap", "Swallow This", and "Head Muncher." The ''Thrill Kill'' engine was later used to make '''' (released on October 31 , 1999 by Activision ) a game based on the rap group Wu-Tang Clan . While violent, ''Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style'' had less objectionable content than ''Thrill Kill'', and was poorly received. The ''Thrill Kill'' engine was later used in two-player form for '''' (released on September 17 , 2001 by Activision) and '' Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots Arena '' (released on November 30 , 2000 by Mattel ). GAME STORY Eight fighters, eight souls. Each has died and descended into Hell - except it is not the classical Dante’s Hell . It is a modern day Hell based on the real world of today’s deviants. The characters are the physical manifestations of their mental illnesses or vices on earth. Marukka, the God of Secrets, is bored and decided that it would be fun to pit them all against each other with the prize being rebirth. Each character is battling for nothing more than self-preservation and the hope to be born again. CHARACTERS
DUNGEONS The fighting arenas in Thrill Kill are referred to as "Dungeons."
