| Target Terror (Video Game) | comment |
Target: Terror is a 2004 video game, a Light Gun Game developed by Raw Thrills, the independent arcade game devhouse founded by the legendary Eugene Jarvis. The game is a throwback to early FMV shooters during the early 1990s such as Maximum Force or Area 51, you are fighting terrorists and defending locations. Instead of three areas as in Maximum Force, this game has nine levels, split into three locations; the Denver Airport, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Los Alamos research facility. A tenth level is unlocked after completing the first nine; the goal there is to prevent a hijacked airliner from crashing into the White House. Because of the terrorists' ridiculous accuracy, Target Terror has gained infamy for being one of the hardest light gun games ever made.It also has infamy for another reason: the cheesy acting of the NPCs, which are actually full motion video superimpositions of the game's designers dressed up in street clothes/army fatigues/police uniforms and pretending to be terrorists/hostages/friendlies. For that reason, the game has a bit of a reputation as So Bad, It's Good, with IGN's video reviewer saying, "I don't know whether to give this game a 1 or a 10!" | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Portraits of George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden are seen in the title screen, but neither make an appearance in game, or are even mentioned. At the end of the game you're congratulated by the President (who looks nothing like Bush). | |

Stylistic Suck: The game obviously isn't taking itself seriously with its choice of video footage "actors" in gameplay, and the wacky bonus minigames. In fact it's these sort of games taken up to eleven. | |

Police Are Useless: Policemen are present as "hostage" allies in the game. They occasionally hit the terrorist while not suffering damage from enemies themselves. Shooting them yourself will result in a violation which reduces your life. | |

Point of No Continues: At the last section on the hijacking mission, the game will say "there are no continues beyond this point" and give you a chance to insert some more quarters for full health. If you lose all your lives or fail to stop the final terrorist, you will get the Bad Ending and have to do the entire hijacking mission all over again. | |

Denser and Wackier: Some of the minigames in the Gold update. One has terrorists throwing explosive turkeys toward the player that must be shot down quickly. If it explodes in the player's face, the terrorist pops out and laughs at the player. The player can then shoot at them in revenge, causing them to fall back, pop back up and shake his fist in anger before leaving. (The player can do this even before the turkey leaves the terrorist's hands if they're quick enough.) | |

Boom, Headshot!: The arcade versions have settings that regulate the amount of blood and gore in the game so it can be displayed in family-friendly locations. The highest gore level adds headshots that will gib the enemies' skulls into bloody chunks, with a massive point bonus and combat medal for doing so. See Lighter and Softer below for the lowest gore setting. | |
