Firstly I have a few questions regarding this game.

*WAs it ever in the arcades?

*Will EA ever publish it or sell the license to someone who will?

*When people talk about wanting the 'ROM' of this game, are they talking about a PSone ROM ,or if it was released in the arcades, the arcade ROM?

*Was it ever published in limited numbers first and then withdrawn?

As a games collector I want this game badly, but I hear that the Playstation has to be modified first before it can play it. Is this true? And if so, was there ever a version that didn't need modification?

You interested in selling it then? Is the CD in mint condition?

I have the PSONE version and its crap. I enjoyed Wu-Tang a lot more although both were pretty poor to be honest. There are some seriously sick and violent moves in Thrill Kill and there are moves of a sexual nature and to be honest it just makes the game look cheap. Nothing to shout about and pretty pants to be honest. Was a shock to play at first but all that wore off when I realised how crap it really was.

No, ROMs refer to electronic versions of cartrage software - the file on the computer which contains the cartrage game is a ROM.

CD-based games are found in ISO image format.

If you want to play it that much, you figure it out.

PSone ROMs, or any other system that uses CD's, don't seem to have ROMs on the net.

If I did find the ROM, could I burn it and play it on my Playstation, or would it only work with PS emulators?

I have a beta copy of this game for years. Got it from the developer before it was canned for preview article - seems to be pre-gold, but further along the Beta.

However, i am sure if you look hard enough you'll find it somewhere for download.

Oh and Tilta' is correct - it's terrible.

I didn't want to get this game just for the sexual violence, but because I saw a video clip of it and it looked well stylish with brilliant solid graphics (unless that was an arcade version I saw?). I would like for people to realise my appeal to this game and just answer the above questions.

I wish people would shut up about this stupid game (don't take this personally).

Wow it's got S&M and lots of blood. The fact is though, that behind all this 'risky' material was a very crap game, the only reason it gets all undeserved attention is because of the violence. It's not a good game, if you managed to get hold of a copy you'd realise how much it sucked and get bored very quickly.

It's never gonna get a release, it was cancelled. The closest thing you'll ever get to playing it is Wu Tang taste the Pain, which is the game it became after all the really sadistic violence and S&M images were taken out. Once again this was not a good game, infact it sucked very badly.

I know acme ridden teenagers around the world will still want to get their hands on the game were pixelated ladies rub their nipples and make groaning noises as they kill people. But trust me, it's cack and it'll never get a release.

Get yaself a copy of Soul Calibur 2 and Ichi the Killer on DVD and voila, you have a superb fighting game and tons of S&M and violence. The difference being that these 2 are actually entertaining, Thrill Kill is not.
