Thrill Kill is a fighting game that was developed for the Sony PlayStation by Paradox Development. It was cancelled by Electronic Arts a few weeks before shipping after EA acquired the original publisher, Virgin Interactive. In a release, EA stated that they didn't want to "publish such a senselessly violent game", as they felt that it would harm their image. They also stated that they deemed the game so offensive that they would not even attempt to sell the game to be released by another publisher either. Later, former employees that had worked on the game released the full game onto the internet, and along with various beta versions. All are still widely available through filesharing.

Gameplay consisted of a closed 3D room where up to four opponents would fight to the death, and proceed to finish each other off with Thrill Kills, much like the fatalities of Mortal Kombat. Instead of the usual life bar, characters built up a kill meter. Once this meter was full, a player's character could activate a Thrill Kill move to brutally slay an opponent. Gameplay includes all player experiences during the interaction with game systems, especially formal games. ...

Thrill Kill was considered a technical feat for the PlayStation for allowing four players to fight simultaneously in the same room. The content included amputated and handicapped characters, and extremely violent and sexual moves with names such as "Bitch Slap", "Swallow This", and "Head Muncher."
The Thrill Kill engine was later used to make Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style (released on October 31, 1999 by Activision) a game based on the rap group Wu-Tang Clan.

Game Story
 The Thrill Kill title screen Eight fighters, eight souls. Each has died and descended into Hell - except it is not the classical Dante’s Hell. It is a modern-day Hell based on the real world of today’s deviants. The characters are the physical manifestations of their mental illnesses or vices on earth. Marukka, the God of Secrets, is bored and decided that it would be fun to pit them all against each other with the prize being rebirth. Each character is battling for nothing more than self-preservation and the hope to be born again. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

- Thrill Kill was in development for four years. During the first half of its development, it was a two-on-two Mayan basketball game.
- He and the development team learned about the game's cancellation through a news posting in IGN.com.
- The ESRB's complaints had Paradox change some of the game's content. For example: "The Imp" character name was supposedly changed from "Senator Lieberman" (a direct spoof of the US senator of the same name). Characters wore briefs instead of g-strings. Belladonna's suggestive wail at the start of a match was toned down.
- Even though the game was completed, Electronic Arts did not pay Paradox their final milestone payments, letting them keep the development hardware instead.
- Early in development, the game was called S & M (for Slaughter & Mutilation).
