As somebody who played tons of these newfangled murder simulators for years, I can say with 100% confidence that the worst ideas I ever had as a kid came from cartoons, not video games.

In cartoons, very dangerous things are portrayed as being something you can walk away from with only soot on your face or a lump on your head. To give you an idea of how bad we're talking here, there was a time very early on in my life when I didn't know that strangulation could kill people. I'm not even joking.
