A trap-operating thriller with a cast of recognizable names that Mean Machines Sega thought improved on Night Trap.

Double Switch was developed by Digital Pictures and published by Sega. Its Sega CD release is dated 1993 in North America, February 1994 in Europe and March 1995 in Japan.

Electronic Games noted that Mary Lambert directed it and that Corey Haim, Deborah Harry and Dick Miller starred, with a score by Thomas Dolby. Mean Machines Sega (issue 17) liked it a lot: the reviewer said it takes the fun and ingenuity of Night Trap and adds action and playability, with an improvement on the technical side, and rated the controls excellent and the difficulty hard.

What the press said at the time

MegaTech Issue 30	June 1994	74%
Sega Pro Issue 42	March 1995	74%

“Basically, if you liked Night Trap's kind of action you'll love this.”
— Mean Machines Sega, March 1994

“And, unlike many film-types, Lambert seems to have grasped the essential difference between a game and a movie. Double Switch is one of the most successful cinematic CD games.”
— Electronic Games, March 1994

“Some of the traps are funny, but it soon gets repetitive. Stars Corey Haims and Deborah Harry.”
— MegaTech, June 1994

“Very Night-Trafyish FMV game that adds a few twists of its own. The challenge and constant switching around gets tedious after a while.”
— Sega Pro, March 1995

Before you buy

Among North American Sega CD games the US disc is below the middle. The European disc usually costs much more than the US one, loose and complete, and needs a European Mega-CD; the Japanese release suits a Japanese Mega-CD. A clean data side and a case that matches the game will do.
