A [[HackAndSlash Hack 'n' Slash]]/[[ActionRPG Action RPG]] for the {{UsefulNotes/Amiga}}, developed by Canadian independent developer Rob Anderson and released by Mindscape in 1991, ''Moonstone: A Hard Days Knight'' (commonly referred to as just ''Moonstone'') is notable for containing hilariously over the top {{Gorn}} and for being a huge {{Cult Classic}} among Amiga fans. It also received a more or less identical PC port.

''Moonstone'' was neither a critical nor commercial success upon its release, but over the years it gained a cult following [[VindicatedByHistory and is now seen as a classic Amiga game]]...at least in Europe. ''Moonstone'' never saw a release in North America, mainly because of its content. According to [[WordOfGod Rob Anderson]], Toys 'R' Us refused to carry it and when Mindscape pitched the game to Creator/{{Sega}} and Creator/{{Nintendo}}, they liked it but refused to release a game with such content. [[{{Irony}} Anderson noted the irony]] in the fact that both Nintendo and Toys 'R' Us later changed their stance a year later with ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombat1 Mortal Kombat]]'', a game with just as much blood and gore (though, to be fair, ''Mortal Kombat'' had already proved to be a big hit in the arcades... and Nintendo published it censored).
