A Retrospective On Sex In Videogames 49
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.")

How can you leave out THE SIMS? I may not be a big fan, but it's kind of hard to miss.

I understand that Ultima and Larry are more well known, but if you were a serious PC gamer back in the early 90's, you had to have heard of poignant and riveting library of games from Mega-Tech [the-underdogs.org]!!! :)
Hell they don't even mention Custer's Revenge [atariage.com] one of the granddaddies of video game "erotica"; term used very, very loosely

Now that I've done some googling, I find that Sierra bought the rights to the original game. Here's something I just found regarding this: [article] [the-underdogs.org]. Also, this appears to be a web-based version, though I haven't tried it: [version] [ifiction.org].
Enjoy.

On Page 2 [gamecritics.com] he talks about the sex aspect of games.

Along with typical Sim-ian activities, Singles permits full nudity and builds the relationship between the just-met flatmates to one that includes sexual relations. ("Chose from twelve 3D fully functional characters," reads the back of the DVD case, "and we mean FULLY.")

In the base game you could flirt at various levels with Violet in the bar, from smiling at her up to fucking and marrying her. And of course you could marry and sex other people playing, which benefitted you with children who would save your ass in the forest.
