Price of Peril

Commodore 64 · 1988 · WOR

Also known as: Price Of Peril

Publisher: Input 64 · Developer: Michael B. Schmidt

Price of Peril creates a grim science-fiction scenario in which entertainment, violence, and media power merge in a deeply unsettling way. As Jim Raeder, you are drawn into a future where voluntary death has been legalized and television networks turn it into a cruel spectacle, broadcasting live hunts in which viewers can even take part. That blend of pursuit, social coldness, and dark futuristic vision gives the game a powerful appeal, because it feels not only suspenseful, but also disturbingly close to the question of how far entertainment should ever be allowed to go.
