Why was the 2006 Reservoir Dogs video game secretly recalled and briefly banned in the UK? 🐕🔫
Back in 2006, Eidos Interactive released a brutal, profanity-filled adaptation of Quentin Tarantino’s classic movie for the PS2, Xbox, and PC. Unsurprisingly, the game was slapped with a strict 18 age rating in the UK.
But there was one massive problem! Someone on the production team made a huge graphic design blunder and completely forgot to print the official 18 rating icon onto the actual Xbox physical discs. 🤦♂️ Selling a mature game without the proper legal age markings on the physical media is a massive legal no-no, forcing the publishers into a full-blown panic recall of the entire first print run before retail shops got fined into oblivion!
