Sex game for Atari 2600

Postby Ralph van der Ven » August 27th, 2008, 3:32 pm

This is no joke, when i was 7 we had a cartridge we weren't allowed to play.
(our parents hid it in the basement) I believe it was called Mr.X.

I remember every level was a maze (where man had to reach woman in time) and then a "position".

When i told this to my colleagues, off course no1 believed me so i'm looking for some affirmation. Screenshot would be the best off course.

Thanks

Yeah, it exists - it's called "X-Man". You can look up some info on it here, including screenshots and a manual:

Your parents actually bought this game? That's... yeah.

I remember my brother renting and bringing over CUSTERS REVENGE for me to try (I was 15). I thought it was THE DOWNRIGHT STUPIDEST GAME EVER! Move man left to right, jump cactus, avoid arrows. Then as a reward he an Indian woman gyrate back and forth as colours flash. Then you do it again. And again. And again.

I could not believe this game cost $50 and came in a leather case that had a lock and key! NOTHING looked real. It actually did not seem any more sexual than JUNGLE HUNT!

Considering that at the time $38 would get you a years subscription to Hustler or an x rated PORNO MOVIE SHOWING REAL SEX, to this day I cannot "Get" this game. It wasnt fun, it wasnt titalating, it sucked pond scum.

At least BEAT EM AND EAT UM was FUNNY in a dirty way, but none of that eras "x rated" games were either much fun or "exciting".
Adults sure are dumb!

If we're talking about sexually themed 2600 games, we can't forget Gigolo or Burning Desire.  In the former, you have to go into windows to sell yourself to guys, hoping that they actually want that, otherwise you'll get arrested.  And in the other, you had to save your girlfriend from a cannibal who is about to cook her for dinner.  I let you figure out how you'll do that.

The thing that kind of interests me is that everyone of these adult 2600 games (except X-Man), were made by Mystique, a Swedish company.  If nothing else, I guess it shows us the cultural differences between the US and Sweden regarding games and sex (at least circa the 1980s).

I was raised by a VERY Prudish mother and was too em bare assed to shower in Phys Ed in school, but my opion about sex in games and movies is that, in the proper "natural" context, nudity and intercourse are natural and 99% of everyone winds up doing it. So why are we so ashamed of our bodies?

At the same time, Violence is NOT natural, given our brains we should be able to avoid conflict, yet super-macho-blood n guts horror filled KILLKILLKILL games, TV and movies are FINE!

I think S&M,Rape and associated things are VIOLENCE, not true sex. CUSTERS REVENGE had you RAPING a woman tied to a pole so it was more a VIOLENT game then a sexual one. But X-Man is pure sex
(with comedic "violence").

If I had kids, I would rather they play X-man then Mortal Kombat!

Sex,drugs,booze and death are all part of our society and the more we try to hide them from kids THE MORE KIDS WILL SEEK THEM OUT. If its "wrong", its rebelious and COOL. Kids don't smoke because it is FUN! HACKCOUGHPUUUKE!....they smoke because we try to hide it rather then teach right and wrong.

If you tell kids they can have all the cigs, porn and cookies they want I gurantee they will lose interest (Drugs and booze are different, those are physically addictive.)

Most 6 year old kids(non Mormons) are completely aware of what the opposite sex has. By ten they know more about sex than most 50 year old adults! The whole way "porn" is handled is stupid.
We are BORN naked from a SEX ORGAN, Breast fed on a SEX OBJECT and we are here thanks to SEX! DOH, everybody!

(at the same time children need to be protected from child molesters....and I think this education at an earlier age could help. I think Molestation is about the most heinous crime in existance AND....dumb! WHY would an adult want to have intercourse with a CHILD? That is like eating a tiny green Bananna! YUCK! Its not READY yet, idiot! Sex organs need time to GROW to be attractive. And yes. Yes, I was, myself, molested. Out of all my freinds I think like 75% were too. This is a very sick and serious problem, that won't be solved by hiding the truth from our children.)

Ok. Alienblue is off the Ivory soapbox. NEXT!

Alienblue, you touch on a very important point. Why is sex such a horrible thing in games? I know as a kid I was SHOCKED to find out that it's illegal to physically attack someone (probably because I was the victim multiple times) and that sex was not illegal. After all, the X rated movies were almost impossible to find yet violence was literally everywhere, including school.

GTA:San Andreas wasn't pulled from the shelves for cop killings, running over pedestrians, shooting innocent people in the back of the head or launching grenades into building. It was because of an inaccessible scene loosely representing consensual sex. Oh, humanity!

I wouldn't touch these 2600 games with a ten foot pole, but it's due to how utterly stupid and pointless they are, not any 'sexual' scenes.

[QUOTE=Alienblue]I

not true, otherwise evolution would have ensured that violent behaviour didn't exist. In fact almost all animals exhibit violent behaviour (and all primates do): violence to protect themselves, their territory, to procure sex (yes, animals rape each other); to install fear in other animals etc. etc.

violence is as natural, and essential, as eating and drinking.

nature is an extremely violent environment.

True. It's easy to mix up the concept of "natural" with subjective value judgment. So that whatever you like is "natural" and whatever you dislike is "unnatural". But everything that occurs in nature is equally natural.

You missed my point about violence not being natural.

First WE ARE SOCIAL animals. Do ants, bees, or groundhogs living together in a colony RAPE AND MURDER EACH OTHER? Of course not! Yes they kill OTHER colonies or intruders or prey BUT THEY DO NOT HARM EACH OTHER. If bees spent all day beating each other up they would soon be extinct. Thats point one.

Point two is WE HAVE HIGHLY EVOLVED BRAINS and should realize that violence against our fellow humans is not acceptable. True, occasionaly a mutant/deviant will be born that is genetically violent, but thats what institutions are for. Yet we should NOT at this point in evolution be ENJOYING violence. Violence is SICK, and should not be glorified. We have the ability to CHOOSE not to be violent yet ignore it.

From that alone I believe Whales and other Ceteceans are more evolved and intelligent than man. I am very proud I myself am completely non-human. Shazbot!
