Top 10 Earliest Games With Sex & Nudity

Not even the fighting game genre was safe from adult parody, as evidenced by this cheap and sleazy knock-off title in Japan for the Turbografx-16. "Strip Fighter 2" utilized the game play engine from C&E's "Super Fighter" series, which itself was "inspired" by the success of the "Street Fighter" franchise. In other words, what we have here is a clunky, unoriginal fighting game with its only novelty being the pixilated, after-match nudity from its female competitors. The last thing any game should do is remind players of another, superior title, yet that's exactly what happens for anyone unfortunate enough to spend time with "Strip Fighter 2."

There were many casualties in the wake of 1983's North American Video Game Crash, one of which was … you guessed it: Mystique. The company sold off its titles to a new company with the name of Playaround, who then marketed a series of double ended cartridges, intended to appeal to gaming couples. One of these titles as "Gigolo," paired together with another called "Cathouse Blues." Both games follow a main character who is breaking into houses and having sex with their occupants, the only difference between the two being the gender of the protagonist. Nice to see that Playaround were thinking of the ladies with this one.

Talk about fan service! This vertical scrolling shooter was released for the PC in 1994, before making its way to Japan for the Sega Saturn in 1998. "Steam-Heart's" is considerably more advanced than the adult themed games of old, utilizing anime-styled character design for the sexual cut scenes that connect with Shoot Em Up sequences … somehow. Different versions of "Steam-Heart's" possess different levels of sexual content, while the actual game itself is leagues beyond other titles on our list in terms of playability and construction. Can't decide whether or not you want some erotica in your shooter, or some shooter in your erotica? Then "Steam-Heart's" is for you.

In what is perhaps the grossest premise for a video game on this list, "Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em" for the Atari 2600 follows a pair of nude women, who are attempting to catch falling sperm from a masturbating man at the top of the screen. Mystique were once again the purveyors behind this game (of course), and shamelessly copied the game mechanics for "Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em" from the classic Activision title "Kaboom," although the finishing animation where the women lick their lips was presumably all Mystique. Playaround even repackaged the game after Mystique's demise with reverse version titled "Philly Flasher," where two men collect breast milk from a witch, and masturbate after they win. Classy.

If you're thinking this game somehow connects to the Marvel comic franchise of a similar name, you'd be oh so wrong. Instead, this perverted "Pac-Man" clone for the Atari 2600 follows a naked man as he attempts to avoid such sharp and unpleasant objects as teeth, scissors and crabs while making his way through a maze. The reward for completing each stage is a crude sex simulation, where the player can wiggle his joystick back and forth for "arousing" bonus points. Yeah we see what you did there. "X-Man" is a fairly rare cartridge to find in the wild, with only twenty to forty-five copies reported to currently exist, as the game was made available only to adults via mail order or under-the-counter sale.

Once again Mystique makes its impact known with what is perhaps the first ever video game to garner widespread political controversy. The game play of "Custer's Revenge" follows George Armstrong Custer-yes, that George Armstrong Custer, from the American Civil War-as he attempts to dodge projectiles in his mission to rape a naked and bound Indian squaw on the other side of the screen. Yeah you heard that right. Oh, and did we mention he's naked and sexually aroused, wearing only a pair of cowboy boots and a ten gallon hat? If this all sounds crude, then you'd be right, as "Custer's Revenge" featured methodical controls and graphics which weren't even impressive by early eighties standards. This game survives based only upon its infamous reputation alone.
