Modern researchers studying the influence of games on the feelings, thoughts and actions of gambling addicts have found that violence and cruelty are present to one degree or another in 90% of computer and video games. All megapopular and high-budget products of the gaming industry contain scenes of violence that give the game realism and thrill to the player, some of them are distinguished by special sadistic cruelty.
Brutal old school
Phantasmagoria or Roberta Williams' Phantasmagoria
A video quest developed by game designer Roberta Williams and published by legendary Sierra On-Line in 1995. This game was the first to use visualization performed by overlaying videos on a graphics base. The atmosphere of the game is kept in the tradition of classic horror authors such as Stephen King and Edgar Poe. Phantasmagoria contains episodes of outright bloody cruelty, violence and bed scenes. The deaths of the characters in the game are shown with hardcore naturalism, and for the rape scene, Phantasmagoria was banned in Australia.
Carmageddon
Arcade racing inspired by the cult classic 1975 film "Death Race 2000". The name of the game is translated from English as "Autoarmageddon".

Due to the particular cruelty of the gameplay, Carmageddon was banned in Brazil after its release in 1997 and was heavily censored in several countries - pedestrian people were replaced by robots, zombies and animals.
