ubersaurus Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Game historian Kate Willaert has been hard at work the past few months trying to figure out the history behind the Atari porno games and these two labels, sifting through old periodicals, interviews, and more. It's absolutely bonkers, and led to her getting it published on Kotaku. I highly recommend checking it out: https://kotaku.com/porno-hustlers-of-the-atari-age-1847622176 14 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergun Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 That was indeed a very detailed and interesting read. I learned many new things about those games that I didn’t know before and it answered several questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Interesting read. Also I have never heard of the Suncom "Lefty" Joystick Adapter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Somehow I didn't know the Bachelor game exists, just the other two garbage games. Really well documented article. I thought it was pretty cool that @rolenta still had the business cards from back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 A female version of Custer's Revenge was created and released overseas as General Re-Treat. I wonder if it was made when the other female versions were created and just not released due to all the bad press the male version got or if it was made later on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I am impressed that the author did research in sources that have not (yet) been digitized! -- some of which are rather obscure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only released in Europe on a double ender with a renamed Custer's Revenge (Westward Ho) and is rare over there too. In fact I don't think one actually showed up until about 10 or 12 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Interesting read and very well researched. Although I already knew most of this information, the Castlespring - Joel Martin connection was a surprise to me. Many thanks for sharing!

Thomas Jentzsch Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 So there were 3 different PAL versions and only one NTSC version? What does that say about the target markets? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just people getting their heads blown off or set on fire, etc. Violence is required, nudity - how dare! The best explanation I heard for this, is the country was founded by people so uptight and puritanical they left England for being too hedonistic, then came over here and burned witches alive. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Excellent article. I'm hoping to add some more to some of the companies I've researched if I can ever get over to the library of congress and view the material on file.

It's crazy rare, I've never even seen a boxed one. Like Tempest mentioned, I don't think it was proven to even exist until the early 2000's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
