YOUR CHILD IS playing video games in the living room. Nice, friendly, wholesome games. Yeah, right. In fact, each game is a life-and-death struggle with creepy, grotesque, impossibly evil characters. Here's the rap sheet on the most outlandish nemeses your child is likely to do battle with. *Worst-Dressed Zombies Half anatomy-lesson, half Night of the Living Dead, the zombies in Splatterhouse 2 look as if they've been skinned alive. Their boss is a sort of giant intestine that spits leeches. *Deadliest Bimbos Don't be deceived by their looks. In Streets of Rage, foxy Amazon babes clad in leather bustiers and boots punch, chop, spin-kick, and body-slam with deadly force. *Hungriest Martians With their sloped foreheads and eager jaws, the overgrown, slimy, outer-space reptiles in Alien3 are so frighteningly true to the Alien films that they even drool. *Toughest Thug With a Jump Shot He's violent. He's mean. He's the biggest bully in the NBA. He's Bill Laimbeer, and his video game, Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball, features wild Bill tackling, battering, and otherwise tormenting opposing hoopsters.
