A Retrospective On Sex In Videogames

Posted by simoniker on from the subjects-often-twinned dept.

Thanks to GameCritics for its (semi-NSFW?) feature discussing the history of sex in videogames, intended to "excavate and document those lucky digital few who managed to get their swerve on." Games profiled include the original Leisure Suit Larry ("the father of modern 'mature' videogames... despite being a screwball comedy at heart... one of the most realistic portrayals of sex in any videogame"), and the ever-notorious Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix ("the two female protagonists [may have been] straddling each other in their underwear for the print ads, but the actual game wasn't the promiscuous orgy that ads teased.")

    spoiled with webcams and homemade tapes... while back in the 80s, we had to get our kicks with those slutty princesses in Defender of the Crown.

    Oh man. If these guys think Leisure Suit Larry is a "realistic portrayal of sex", I think this joke about the gaming community just makes itself.

    Thank you for mentioning Mega-Tech. I racked up $300 in long distance charges from calling their BBS to download the demos for Cobra Mission and Metal & Lace. What 11-year-old knows that the modem caused long distance charges?! All I knew was that boobies were there, and I would acquire them.

    did you imply that the mouth is the least creative place to ejaculate? did no one explain sex to you?
