Rockstar court controversy with every game they release. Whether it’s the whore-bashing Grand Theft Auto series or the pedestrian Table Tennis, any game released is bound to generate column inches.

None more so than Canis Canem Edit (Latin for “dog eat dog”). When announced it generated a wave of revulsion throughout the games industry, especially as it was originally titled Bully.

Assuming the game would be GTA in the schoolyard, anti-bullying groups attacked the game before it was even released. In reality, Bully owes more to Spectrum classic Skool Daze than any of Rockstar’s more violent output.

The game’s lead character is more the bullied than the bully, and gameplay revolves around getting one over on various superior cliques within the school using a variety of mischievous tools.

More fun than school ever was.
