Games To Jerk Off To: Porn on the Atari 2600


Back in the early 80's, Independent game publishers were all over the place. One such publisher was Mystique, and their console of choice was the Atari 2600. Interesting thing about Mystique's games, they were essentially porn, and as such were only sold at porn shops. some of the most weel known of Mystique's games were Custer's Revenge and Beat em and Eat em. The former involved guiding a naked, fully erect General Custer past a flurry of arrows en route to a tied up Indian woman who he proceeds to have sex with. The latter is a knockoff of the classic Activision game Kaboom, where you guide a woman back and forth across the bottom of a screen in an effort to catch the knuckle children fired off from a guy jacking off on a roof. These games might sound like fun, but they featured crappy graphics(even for the 2600) and even worse control. In all honesty, there was very little that was arousing about them, but damn they make a pretty funny joke today. There were other porn games made for they 2600, but after the video game industry collapse in 1983, most of the independent companies (Mystique included) shut down. and there was pretty much no more porn on the 2600. So the next time somebody starts bitching about how perverse some video games are now, remind them that you never had to go to a porn shop to cop a game, but somehow they have 2600 games that they still hide from their wives because they did.

  1. Omg that's crazy & funny but it doesn't sound like something I would have been into. There's nothing sexy or sexual I get from it, well not in a fun way. It just sounds perverted and nasty. I wonder how a game like that would impact people today. It would be funny to see.
