And before I get into it, let me be clear here: So long as the women involved are fully content and properly consent to showing their breasts, I don’t have any issue with that aspect of the game. This is the first aspect of the game I’m gonna hone in on as feeling particularly skeevy to me. Obviously, the idea here is to start the ladies off with the easier questions before hitting them with the trickier stuff, with being made to show their boobs being the punishment for wrong answers. Spock’s rank?”), and the next they’ll be guessing at seemingly obscure geography facts (“The Aegean Sea is connected to the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea by what strait?”). One minute the women will be dealing with standard pop culture fare (“On the original Star Trek, what was Mr. The game show aspect primarily involves trivia questions, with subjects spanning the gamut of human knowledge and history. On the other hand, he’s totally interchangeable in his role, goes for the most obvious jokes in most situations, and unfortunately for him just so happens to have a very punchable face. Also to his credit – aside from putting his arm around many a woman’s shoulder – he doesn’t get too “handsy” with the girls. In this sense, he does a fine job of things: He has some amount of stage presence, thinks quickly on his feet, and comes across as being affable enough to the participants.
His duties include introducing, asking questions of, and generally coaxing the participating ladies into presenting for the camera. The host in question is comedian Matt Sadler, whose smug mug adorns the game’s cover and is ever-present in the recorded footage. The only additional elements The Guy Game seems to employ are a more defined “host” character and the overarching game show gimmick, which help it easier translate into the format of a video game.

Relatively tame stuff to be sure, but it apparently sold plenty well and became a part of American pop culture.

The aforementioned Girls Gone Wild series of softcore porn videos liked to take advantage of this time of year, with compilations centered around girls getting up to raunchy spring break shenanigans - flashing for the camera and maybe occasionally kissing other girls.

With a focus on the female form, The Guy Game would be among the games to take full advantage of this technology. Advancing past the technical limitations imposed on the likes of Leisure Suit Larry and Lula, it was inevitable that games would eventually come to incorporate photography and full-motion video of real nude folk.
While I would contend that early such titles were made more with novelty factor in mind than arousal, they paved the way for the perverted pioneers to come, who would persist in pushing pixelated promiscuity past the point of “proof of concept” and into full-fledged porn. Yes, as early as the days of the Atari 2600, ** there were games designed with that most explicit of content in mind.
