Loaded (Video Game)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Loaded (known as Blood Factory in Japan) is a science fiction-themed top-down shoot em up or run and gun video game that was developed by Gremlin Interactive and published by Interplay. Loaded was released in late 1995 early 1996 (around New Year time) on both the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. The game had origins in DC comics and more notably the more adult-orientated Vertigo Comics, and there was a small graphic novel based on the game. The six playable characters of the game are a combination of villains, anti-heroes, psychopaths, perverts, mutants, and flamboyant murderers. They are, however, the last hope to stop the intergalactic supervillain code-named F.U.B. and save the universe. The characters were created and designed with contributions from Garth Ennis of Vertigo Comics and Greg Staples of 2000AD. Later in the same year the game spawned a sequel using almost entirely the same characters and the same game engine, albeit one with mildly improved graphics, named Re-Loaded. Re-Loaded was released on the PlayStation and PC at the end of 1996.
