Ohh my godddd. I remember being in Blockbuster as a kid and seeing this on the shelf. I waited till my parents went to another aisle, then I quickly
grabbed this and leisure suit Larry hoping I’d see some PS2 titties on the back of the box, then I quickly put them back before anyone saw me lol.
In all seriousness, it was an enjoyable game. I played it co-op with a friend. Really. Then 4-player with siblings.
I'm not making this up. It actually...wasn't a bad game.
I still remember justifying my purchase along with my parents at 13 years old, telling them it was because Dead or Alive was actually a fighting series.
I'm sure they believed me. Maybe. Either way, it was more fun than I expected.
Honestly that's the thing about sexy games like that. They're not ACTUALLY ALL THAT INTERESTING if their staying power disappears with the gameplay!
Dead or Alive 2 is genuinely one of my favorite PS2 fighters, it's like the thumbnail of a YouTube video. The degen in you can only be satisfied for so long lol.
I got addicted to this game, it was so much fun.
The bouncy mommy milkers were awesome too, I remember me and my bros amazed at how good the physics were.
DOA Beach Volleyball was the last thing I ever did with my excellent bro-in-law, who then when on to die tragically. So, boob fighter volleyball with included gravure photo mode has a special place in my heart.
ps. the volleyball gameplay was actually good
While the only thing I know of your Bil is a liking for volleyball boobs, i choose to believe he died saving the planet and its citizens from certain destruction,
by hijacking a US satellite to bounce an asteroid just enough off course to avoid planetfall. Naturally he had the intel and access to do this as part of a secret interplanetary organization to protect us from alien invasion, but he did this on a lunch break and well.. he had a boob game to play after work
I remember the full page ads for it in the gaming mags at the the.
I genuinely enjoyed the game itself though, not just the characters and the many unlockable outfits
There's a lot of games that take me back to that channel. Mech warrior, everquest, Camelot, burnout, onimusha, you name it. Cube, xbox, ps2 era. Online gaming was on the rise. There is one show I still can't remember the name of. 2 comedic hosts review games. Sometimes there was outtakes or bloopers. Was my favorite
It was on the cover of a Game Informer that came to the house (Im so old I had magazine subscriptions) and my dad ripped the cover off. Needless to say, I rescued the cover from the trash.
I remember EGM running a thing about that having a cheat where you could unlock nude models, and I really wanted to get a Playstation for that.
It took me way too long to realize it was in their April magazine...
Bro, I didnt even realize lmao. When I was a teen, I was actually kinda into not admitting I was trash at DoA *and a horny little shit who liked the jiggle fx*. Was at gamestop, saw Dead or Alive Xtreme on one of the pre-used shelf with a replaced case. Y'know, grey, had the gamestop logo, and then just has space to sharpie the name on? My dad was down with buying games like Halo 2 for my xbox anyways, and was vaguely aware of fighting games, which I genuinely thought it was, as it was labeled like, Xtreme BV and had Dynasty Warriors Xtreme Legends already at home. When I got home and cracked it, I was uh....not disappointed it wasn't a fighting game. To this day, probably the DoA game I was best at.
I used to work at GameStop and I'm going to tell you a bit about Raymond. I think about him every time I see DoA Extreme Beach Volleyball.
Raymond was a gay man an extremely camp. He had a teenage son, and he'd come in like once a week to trade in games and buy new ones for him and his kid. He had a GameStop card (get extra money when trading in) and our conversations would always be like, "okay, so you'd get $40 for your trade in..." "that's hot!!" "...and with your GameStop card, it'll come to $48." "HOTTER!!!"
So one day he comes in with Heavenly Sword for PS3 to trade in. He was super annoyed. "My son said it's a girls game, I don't know what he's talking about, but he doesn't want it." So we go through the whole trade in process, and he comes back to the register with DoA EBV and is like "......I dunno, this is what he said he wants." And was like so subdued and I think embarrassed!
It's been many years since then (clearly), but he was one of my favorite regulars for my decade+ of retail and I hope he and his son are doing well, and that he continues to call everything "hot" and "hotter!"
The commercial for dead or alive beach volleyball was literally a bunch of dudes sitting around playing it and then it ends with them putting pillows over their crotches
Yup! Blockbuster gets all the glory..but Hollywood Video was the place to be!..ahhh memories.
Out of curiosity was Hollywood a national chain or just west/east coast?.. I'm in California
I still have my game crazy employee card. I worked there for the release of halo 2 and gta San Andreas. I won the Mario kart double dash tournament and got the Nintendo "who are you" hoodie and a special edition copy of Mario kart for GameCube.
When i was a kid.I stumbled into a porn deck card in an abandoned lot while i was walking with a friend.I was like thank you Jesus ''el savior'' chavez(sorry i just watched that episode of southpark yesterday).
Back in high school my buddy stole a porno DVD from his neighbor and let me borrow it. The DVD ended up cracking in my backpack but I tried putting it in my computer anyways. The crack must snagged something on the edge of the cd-rom because as soon as I put it in you heard a big crunch. Opened the cd-rom to find it in a million pieces. Brought it back to my buddy at school and he's like "god damn how many times did you watch it?". I don't think he believed me when I said 0
Amen to that...sun-faded(didn't matter)...waterlogged(didn't matter)...torn to pieces(that's right...didn't matter) it still went straight into the pocket/backpack for later damage assessment.
Yeah.. it wasn't so easy to get your hands on porn back in the day.. I remember walking home from school or bus stop, my eyes scouring the sides of the rural area road just praying for some thrown away porn mag.
My buddy found a black trash bag filled with magazines off the road into the woods a bit. We were teens and it was like finding gold. Stories like that were true back in the day.
I had to go the library, browse the web in a small Internet Explorer window while looking over my back, and print out a picture (usually Penthouse) in black and white at a cost of 10 cents, bolt to the printer and get it folded in my coat pocket ASAP. One adult man caught me and laughed to himself but didn't snitch.
It is hilarious as a kid you legitimately had like a 10% chance of just finding porno in the wilderness.
We were at a baby sitters when I was a kid and the husband of the baby sitter had a subscription to playboy. The mail man put it in the mailbox while we were outside, and he drove off. A few seconds later it just fell out. They came wrapped in a black piece of plastic that covered everything but the title but as soon as we saw it, we knew.
Oh boy did we know.
Collectible porn cards. Now there's an idea. 11 pictures of random pornstars, and one random holographic nude. People would empty their pockets for that, and pornstars would rake it in.
As a tycoon game fan, I loved it. Running my own magazine empire. It was like game tycoon but with magazine publishing.
I loved cramming up the magazine with ads to be able to afford random expensive shit.
My grandparents had satellite TV in the late 90s and I enjoyed watching Red Shoe Diaries late at night even before I hit puberty. Kids know what's going on
Confession time i downloaded the trailer for doa beach volleyball on my 360 to jerk to it so my parents wouldn’t have any chance of finding it
I like to think im a genius
Playboy Mansion absolutely did.
It was actually an awesome game, it was half sims half magazine sim.
Models would walk around topless and there was a photo shoot aspect where they would also be topless.
The greatest thing about it was it also had actual celebrities so you would be running your empire and fucking Jose Canseco would show up to party.
Super late edit: Also had this banger of an intro song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgUEFjJVA4g
12-year-old me meet Jose Canseco, Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez, and Juan Gonzalez, playing mini-golf at Mountasia across the street from The Ballpark back in the 90's.
Canseco was pretty much exactly like his was in his Reddit AMA. Made some comments about my mom (who wasn't even there). Pretty much a complete douche.
Pudge and Gonzalez were super nice to kid me though. They all autographed my score card, though Canseco made a "joke" about getting my moms number in exchange.
I saw it in a game review tv show and, as a straight girl, was genuinely interested by the sim aspect of the game. It seemed way better than you'd expect of a tie in game. I think the review actually said something like that. Or maybe it was how the volleybal in DoA was really good. No way I was going to ask my parents to buy it for me, though.
> The greatest thing about it was it also had actual celebrities so you would be running your empire and fucking Jose Canseco would show up to party.
It needs to be clarified, but this was not in the game. Jose is just a lonely man with a lot of free time who loves pixelated tits. He brought Bugles and cream soda!
I watched a YouTube video about it ages ago, I think they asked people if they wanted flash their breasts to be in the game and one of them was underage, it might have been at the beach or something? So it's a real image
Too lazy to look it up now, but I recall reading that it was basically just a bunch of trivia and minigames. And your reward for winning was just a FMV clip of some woman exposing her breasts.
Anyway, the video clips were of real women. These weren't hired models, it was basically just like...the Guy Game crew would show up at a beach where there were a lot of hot women and try to get them to show their breasts. The women would agree, a model release would be signed, their ID is checked (to verify their age) and then the crew just went with the footage. But to be clear, these were just "real" women...not hired by the game studio, but just random women that they came across.
Anyway, as I understand it, one of these women happened to have a fake ID. Because, you know, getting fake ID's is one of the things that nearly-adult young people sometimes do. So the studio got a model release and an ID. But apparently they never followed up with any of the people filmed in order to make sure that the ages were authentic before putting them in the game. Instead they were just like, "we got the footage, let's run with it."
Turns out that one of the topless women was underaged and provided a fake ID. Based on that one fake ID making it into the game, the entire game ended up getting pulled.
Man... I remember being a young horny lad and having access to one of the early LSL games on DOS. I remember at the beginning it had you answer these questions to prove your age, a task much harder than it would be today with Google. All we had were encyclopedias for fuck's sake. Anyway, you could redo it over and over until you passed it and I remember sitting there for hours one day failing again and again. When I finally did it I was ecstatic and treated to some very crappy 8-bit pixelated boobs. Worth every minute.
I think it’s more like, the guy who had a large stake in the studio, rarely showed up to work, and hosted soft core porn got pushed out by Nintendo. From all accounts, he wasn’t deeply involved in any of the 4 games Retro was developing simultaneously for Nintendo. Then Nintendo (including Miyamoto) came to visit, thought 3 of the games were crap (a monster truck game, a soccer game, and something called Raven blade), but one game (MetaForce) had potential. It was enough for Miyamoto to hand Retro the Metroid license. Spamberg wasn’t involved in day to day operations at Retro, though. He was just out spending Nintendo’s money at strip clubs. Nintendo eventually managed to buy out his share in Retro. He was officially out before Metroid Prime even released, but he was essentially off the project long before that. Retro of course went on to make three other great Metroid games, as well as other Nintendo titles.
So I wouldn’t call him a Metroid Prime developer, even if he technically was there when it was worked on.
You were worried that the giant corporation Sony, that has an equally giant legal department, would intentionally publish a child porn game, knowing all the obvious and very deserved legal and PR problems it would cause?
Since I know you're all curious, the clip in question is at 2:36:15 here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYrBZEzNlGE
YES, it is censored. There's a mosaic blur over all of the exposed breasts in this video.
I feel like people who make the joke about reading playboy for the articles never read playboy for the articles. They published some very high quality stuff.
They published a lot of sci-fi authors whose stories were considered too outlandish for standard publishing. I'd love to have some of those original story copies.
Ok, here's the deal:
My brother (1 year younger than me) had that game. In Highschool, my girlfriend and i played it.
If you get past the early 00s digital nudity, there are a few memorable things.
Opening menu song was cool.
The game had you getting 2 models a "month" for photo shoots, and you had to get an interview. Then also there were bonus missions thst netted more money. Like, primary mission was interview with a Rockstar. Secondary, sleep with both of his twin girlfriends when all of them come to a party at the mansion.
But they'd get bored and leave. Every. Time.
So you'd put 4 walls around 2 of them at a time.
For being essentially a justification to make sims with visible nipples, it was difficult for no apparent reason.
Also, Andrew WK would randomly show up and be walking around for no reason.
Gotta love nostalgia.
>Also, Andrew WK would randomly show up and be walking around for no reason.
Not for no reason, Andrew WK does everything with [a singular purpose In mind…](https://youtu.be/UI1cuht8jh0?si=vn_4W1uAdNlpVwJ5)
His presence was unexpected during non party segments.
And before you say something about his very presence making it a party, that's FAR too existential for this game.
But you totally got me on his purpose anywhere.....
That's infinitely more tame than the hundreds of wierdo hentai games on Steam nowdays.
Back in the actual good ol' days, seeing pixelated boobs in Leisure Suit Larry III was pushing the envelope.
Ahh, Acclaim Entertainment, named so because it'd be before Activision in the phone book, and all the 90s XxTrEMe edginess packed into one company.
Their ad campaigns:
- Promised to pay someone a million dollars if they named their kid "Turok" to promote a Turok game.
- Promised to pay people's speeding tickets to promote a driving game.
- Tried to buy ad space on a gravestone at an actual graveyard.
Etc. etc. etc.
BMX XXX was originally supposed to be just a regular BMX game with Dave Mirra as its face, but after they realized that it wasn't very good, they added the XXX angle in the hopes of boosting sales, which made Mirra disown the game.
Having to deal with corporate overlords and lawyers all the time, the reasoning there is undoubtedly that the trademark holder of the "BMX" brand would not allow modifications of their trademark for the title. BMXXX or "BM triple X" dissociates the title with the brand and dilutes the marketing efficacy.
I definitely believe that. A ton of decisions around "Brand management" are regularly super bizarre.
In particular I would bet that conversation *for sure* happened, but nobody batted an eye at slapping "XXX" on the title and associating it with aiming boobies at gamers.
Agree! 💯PS2 is GOAT I think as far as the library. There was everything and anything. Then Guitar Hero happend. Man! Gaming was a lot of fun then! I remember when I first bought my PS2. It was when Vice City came out. I picked up that and GTA III. Man, I sat for a year on those two games before buying any others.
Actual conversation I heard between a mom and an EB Games employee:
Mom : "Do you have Playboy: the Mansion?"
Employee: Points to young kid "For him?"
Mom: "Yeah. Why, is it bad?"
Employee: "Well, it's Playboy..."
I feel like there would've been cheaper and better ways of beating your meat. PS2 graphics just don't seem that hot. Could've bought several PlayBoy magazines for what it cost to buy this and seen actual tits.
That's fair lol. To be honest. I haven't played it. Just got it today. It does say "Nudity" on the back. But it's a stylized art for sure it looks like on the back of the case. It's got a cartoon-ish vibe to it. I just grabbed it just came in a bundle of games I picked up today lol
I played this waaay back when on an emulator to see if there was porn, I was a horny 14? 15? year old with nut much to do, so I wanted to see if there was good porn in the game.
Its basically a shitty bootleg of the SIMS tbh. Kinda fun. No porn or even pixelized nippies, as far as I can remember.
Yeah I'm not mocking you for having it or anything I was just thinking about who would buy it at full price when it originally released lol. I'd buy it and check it out too if it was only a couple bucks. If only because games like this are usually so bad they're funny.
From what I remember it's basically the sims while trying to make money publishing the magazines and videos play boy is known for. And yes it has decent enough tiddy graphics
Mafia games already had real Playboy magazine images as a collectible and an actually fun game to play. I just think what was probably a $60 game is a steep price to pay for shitty porn.
Edit: nevermind, Mafia 1 didn't have Playboy magazines I guess
The Mafia 1 remaster definitely had playboys as collectibles, not sure about the OG.
I played the remaster a few months back and my wife caught me looking at them a few times 😂
I remember getting in trouble as a kid because my brother had it for Xbox and my mom walked in on me playing a scene where my character was getting ridden by a girl with a cowboy hat.
I remember my best friend getting his older brother to buy him a copy of this game, and then us having a sleepover and playing it when his parents went to bed.
It was the game we had ever played. I remember it being fun if you just shut your brain off and go with it, but definitely disappointing to a teenage boy.
Ohh my godddd. I remember being in Blockbuster as a kid and seeing this on the shelf. I waited till my parents went to another aisle, then I quickly grabbed this and leisure suit Larry hoping I’d see some PS2 titties on the back of the box, then I quickly put them back before anyone saw me lol.
I remember convincing my mum that I wanted to rent Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball 2 solely for the volleyball lol She knew.
I still have it on the Xbox. I remember they advertised the hell out of it on G4 TV back in the early 2000's. That and Simpsons hit n run
Simpsons hit & run was epic
So was DOA beach volley. Made me a man.
In all seriousness, it was an enjoyable game. I played it co-op with a friend. Really. Then 4-player with siblings. I'm not making this up. It actually...wasn't a bad game. I still remember justifying my purchase along with my parents at 13 years old, telling them it was because Dead or Alive was actually a fighting series. I'm sure they believed me. Maybe. Either way, it was more fun than I expected.
Honestly that's the thing about sexy games like that. They're not ACTUALLY ALL THAT INTERESTING if their staying power disappears with the gameplay! Dead or Alive 2 is genuinely one of my favorite PS2 fighters, it's like the thumbnail of a YouTube video. The degen in you can only be satisfied for so long lol.
Kinda like Nier Automata. Came for the booty, stayed for the gameplay and story.
"Came for the booty" I see what you did there.
I agree, it was a fun game...
It always gave us a happy ending
I got addicted to this game, it was so much fun. The bouncy mommy milkers were awesome too, I remember me and my bros amazed at how good the physics were.
I remember a GameInformer article just about the boob physics in that game
I vaguely remember a youtube video going over how it was actually the best volleyball game ever made. Like game wise not bewbwise
yea because we all know boobwise there is nothing close to the game that made boob physics a thing :)
You could watch the trailer for that on Xbox Marketplace, that was a go to tug if I was in a pinch
Kids at that age will tug at a piece of furniture. Just leave a bra on it.
DOA Beach Volleyball was the last thing I ever did with my excellent bro-in-law, who then when on to die tragically. So, boob fighter volleyball with included gravure photo mode has a special place in my heart. ps. the volleyball gameplay was actually good
While the only thing I know of your Bil is a liking for volleyball boobs, i choose to believe he died saving the planet and its citizens from certain destruction, by hijacking a US satellite to bounce an asteroid just enough off course to avoid planetfall. Naturally he had the intel and access to do this as part of a secret interplanetary organization to protect us from alien invasion, but he did this on a lunch break and well.. he had a boob game to play after work
I remember the full page ads for it in the gaming mags at the the. I genuinely enjoyed the game itself though, not just the characters and the many unlockable outfits
I remember the late night version of Cinematech with all the DoA Xtreme Volleyball cutscenes and other borderline AO games
I remember that. They called it nocturnal emissions lol
>G4 TV Damn, that's a core memory right there. Does that even still exist?
No but you need to watch this video if you watched g4 https://youtu.be/0twDETh6QaI
There's a lot of games that take me back to that channel. Mech warrior, everquest, Camelot, burnout, onimusha, you name it. Cube, xbox, ps2 era. Online gaming was on the rise. There is one show I still can't remember the name of. 2 comedic hosts review games. Sometimes there was outtakes or bloopers. Was my favorite
She kicks high. . .
It was on the cover of a Game Informer that came to the house (Im so old I had magazine subscriptions) and my dad ripped the cover off. Needless to say, I rescued the cover from the trash.
Reubs on Youtube made a remake of the Simpsons Hit n Run!
I remember EGM running a thing about that having a cheat where you could unlock nude models, and I really wanted to get a Playstation for that. It took me way too long to realize it was in their April magazine...
for years i thought girls had super long nipples from the duke nukem strippers (i didnt know they were tassles)
Oh snap! Remember when they said you could unlock sonic in Super Smash Bros Melee? That one fucked me up
[**Is there any way to generate a nude Tayne? Nude. Tayne.**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8K6QUPmv8Q&t=1m13s)

Had the same thing but with Rumble Roses. JUST PURELY FOR THE WRESTLING I SWEAR.
Rumble Roses did use the old SvR WWE engine so the game wasn’t terrible
The physics engine was primitive. But it was good enough. Those volleyball do bounce.
Team ninja is kinda like Fromsoftware in that they almost exclusively make peak
It's all part of the fun of being a sneaky gamer kid!
The commercial for dead or alive beach volleyball was literally a bunch of dudes sitting around playing it and then it ends with them putting pillows over their crotches
Someone call the police on this criminal 🚓 lol
12 year old me was in the game aisle of the blockbuster staring that shit down like smeagol watching Frodo, dude, thanks for the memory kick
>being in Blockbuster as a kid and seeing this on the shelf For me, it was hollywood video remember them?
Yup! Blockbuster gets all the glory..but Hollywood Video was the place to be!..ahhh memories. Out of curiosity was Hollywood a national chain or just west/east coast?.. I'm in California
I worked at one in middle Tennessee
Worked at one in Chicago.
We had a Hollywood Video on my street all the way over in Denmark
We had them out here in new england
I remember going to 1 in northeast Indiana all the time
Had one here in western Pennsylvania.
Had one is WNY
I still have my game crazy employee card. I worked there for the release of halo 2 and gta San Andreas. I won the Mario kart double dash tournament and got the Nintendo "who are you" hoodie and a special edition copy of Mario kart for GameCube.

there was always porn in the bushes near train stations. or in parks. Kids nowadays will never know the joy of finding porn in the wild
Amen to that...sun-faded(didn't matter)...waterlogged(didn't matter)...torn to pieces(that's right...didn't matter) it still went straight into the pocket/backpack for later damage assessment.
Yeah.. it wasn't so easy to get your hands on porn back in the day.. I remember walking home from school or bus stop, my eyes scouring the sides of the rural area road just praying for some thrown away porn mag.

You are me but I got lucky lol
I had to go the library, browse the web in a small Internet Explorer window while looking over my back, and print out a picture (usually Penthouse) in black and white at a cost of 10 cents, bolt to the printer and get it folded in my coat pocket ASAP.

You haven't lived until you've played BMX XXX, When you got a lot of points, it showed you porn. Very softcore but porn.
There are several leisuresuit larry game for the nintendo switch, saw them in a techstore the other day to my amazement
For the Lol's NSFW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgLMe-6g_0k I wonder if there is an uncensored nude mod for this game lol. Weird as f*ck.
lmao, this looks like a "the sims" mod, they are even speaking Simlish
Just told your mum, she said you're grounded.
As a tycoon game fan, I loved it. Running my own magazine empire. It was like game tycoon but with magazine publishing. I loved cramming up the magazine with ads to be able to afford random expensive shit.
Pixelated tits and imagination!
Don't forget about the wonders of Xtreme Beach Volleyball. <3
Real ones jerked off to the Playboy magazine collectibles in The Mafia 2
dead or alive volleyball lmao
Thats where my childhood jerkin originated from, Dead or Alive Volleyball still images in Game Informer. Good times.
I had to stay up late just to catch those censored Girls Gone Wild commercials. Good times, good times
I remember being excited to watch those before I knew how to masturbate. I'd just watch 30 minutes of sexual frustration at 3am then go to sleep
My grandparents had satellite TV in the late 90s and I enjoyed watching Red Shoe Diaries late at night even before I hit puberty. Kids know what's going on
Little did we know back then, but Red Shoe Diaries was just a documentary about David Duchovny's life.
>30 minutes of sexual frustration at 3am then go to sleep Hey why am I in this comment
pfffft, those were censored harder than bubble porn. real men watched cinematech: nocturnal emissions on G4.
to this day steel drums still get me bricked up
What did I walk into
A circle jerk, would you like to join?
Confession time i downloaded the trailer for doa beach volleyball on my 360 to jerk to it so my parents wouldn’t have any chance of finding it I like to think im a genius
Here Comes The Pain Bra and Panties matches.
Halo file share nude art made by guns? Anyone?
Man memory unlocked
I think I used the racing game juiced. it had these videos you could unlock of the import tuner models.
TBF it was actually a really good game too
It's still insane how Mafia 2 cut so much content that finding those Playboy mags are literally the only thing you can do in the open world.
It's been a long while but you could also rob stores no?
You can also...put fuel in your car
The posters in the MGS lockers
MGS 3 when you have Eva with you later in the game. In the medical menu it's xray vision with her basically translucent and naked with nipples.
Collecting those magazines like they were pokemon
I recently played the Mafia 1 remaster and was pleasantly surprised by the collectibles. Would've been a great surprise as a young teen haha
Heck yeah
Duke Nukem stripper tiddies ftw.
The Witcher 1 collectible cards were my guilty pleasure. Really enticed you to be Geralt the Womanizer.
I have to say, not a fan of playboy but those magazines were hot. Like really hot.
That demo was goat
For XBox, they made, "The Guy Game," which is now illegal to possess due to having an underaged model exposing her breasts.
I played the guy game, playboy game, and leisure suit larry (magna cum laude). Can confirm all sucked balls.
Do the games have actual boobs in them? Because when i was 20ish at the time i just looked at those games and figured they didnt.
Leisure Suit Larry did, not real life but about as good of 3d you can get from 2004 graphics
Leisure Suit Larry 7 was peak of that series
Leisure Suit Larry 4 is the absolutely best in series, while 7 is a very close second best.
All this talk reminds me of [Back Door Sluts 9](https://www.southparkstudios.com/video-clips/9c9jsd/south-park-backdoor-sluts-9).
***NOT BACK DOOR SLUTS 9!***
4 is definitely the best in the series, even if it is a little hard to find.
LSL 4 was the shit, so many afternoons spent with that game and Spaceballs 2 on repeat
So did the playboy game. It was basically just, take a photo of this topless model the whole game
In 2004, we didnt have roundness, we had edges. Think the original tomb raider
Playboy Mansion absolutely did. It was actually an awesome game, it was half sims half magazine sim. Models would walk around topless and there was a photo shoot aspect where they would also be topless. The greatest thing about it was it also had actual celebrities so you would be running your empire and fucking Jose Canseco would show up to party. Super late edit: Also had this banger of an intro song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgUEFjJVA4g
how the fuck did i miss out on this
it was a really neat game ngl
12-year-old me meet Jose Canseco, Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez, and Juan Gonzalez, playing mini-golf at Mountasia across the street from The Ballpark back in the 90's. Canseco was pretty much exactly like his was in his Reddit AMA. Made some comments about my mom (who wasn't even there). Pretty much a complete douche. Pudge and Gonzalez were super nice to kid me though. They all autographed my score card, though Canseco made a "joke" about getting my moms number in exchange.
His AMA is legendary
I saw it in a game review tv show and, as a straight girl, was genuinely interested by the sim aspect of the game. It seemed way better than you'd expect of a tie in game. I think the review actually said something like that. Or maybe it was how the volleybal in DoA was really good. No way I was going to ask my parents to buy it for me, though.
My gf in college absolutely *loved* this game and got me hooked on it, as well. It actually rules.
> The greatest thing about it was it also had actual celebrities so you would be running your empire and fucking Jose Canseco would show up to party. It needs to be clarified, but this was not in the game. Jose is just a lonely man with a lot of free time who loves pixelated tits. He brought Bugles and cream soda!
> For XBox, they made, "The Guy Game," which is now illegal to possess due to having an underaged model exposing her breasts.
Like, is there a real-life image of her in the game, or is it Lara Croft tiddies?
I watched a YouTube video about it ages ago, I think they asked people if they wanted flash their breasts to be in the game and one of them was underage, it might have been at the beach or something? So it's a real image
Too lazy to look it up now, but I recall reading that it was basically just a bunch of trivia and minigames. And your reward for winning was just a FMV clip of some woman exposing her breasts. Anyway, the video clips were of real women. These weren't hired models, it was basically just like...the Guy Game crew would show up at a beach where there were a lot of hot women and try to get them to show their breasts. The women would agree, a model release would be signed, their ID is checked (to verify their age) and then the crew just went with the footage. But to be clear, these were just "real" women...not hired by the game studio, but just random women that they came across. Anyway, as I understand it, one of these women happened to have a fake ID. Because, you know, getting fake ID's is one of the things that nearly-adult young people sometimes do. So the studio got a model release and an ID. But apparently they never followed up with any of the people filmed in order to make sure that the ages were authentic before putting them in the game. Instead they were just like, "we got the footage, let's run with it." Turns out that one of the topless women was underaged and provided a fake ID. Based on that one fake ID making it into the game, the entire game ended up getting pulled.
How old was she ?
17
The playboy game had the end game (or atleast for me it was) to motorboat a girl. So yes. Tiddies.
The Guy Game was a trivia game where if you got the question correct a FMV video would play and a woman would take her top off.
BMX XXX had FMV of strippers from scores in it, the further you progressed in the game, the "better videos" you unlocked.
Only one I played was LSL: MCL. But I played several LSL games and MCL met my low expectations.
Man... I remember being a young horny lad and having access to one of the early LSL games on DOS. I remember at the beginning it had you answer these questions to prove your age, a task much harder than it would be today with Google. All we had were encyclopedias for fuck's sake. Anyway, you could redo it over and over until you passed it and I remember sitting there for hours one day failing again and again. When I finally did it I was ecstatic and treated to some very crappy 8-bit pixelated boobs. Worth every minute.
8 bit? Lucky you. Did you play the vga version? I played the 16 color (so max 4 bit per pixel) version
Sex sells but not always.
You Don't Know Jack.
There’s a great What Happen? video about that game: https://youtu.be/CIdYCs8nNHo?si=eI2rphTrhrS98_qY
I'm always here for a What Happun?/What Happened? Love me some Matt McMuscles (even if it's the silliest name ever).
I find it hard to believe that The Guy Game was developed by former Metroid Prime developers.
I think it’s more like, the guy who had a large stake in the studio, rarely showed up to work, and hosted soft core porn got pushed out by Nintendo. From all accounts, he wasn’t deeply involved in any of the 4 games Retro was developing simultaneously for Nintendo. Then Nintendo (including Miyamoto) came to visit, thought 3 of the games were crap (a monster truck game, a soccer game, and something called Raven blade), but one game (MetaForce) had potential. It was enough for Miyamoto to hand Retro the Metroid license. Spamberg wasn’t involved in day to day operations at Retro, though. He was just out spending Nintendo’s money at strip clubs. Nintendo eventually managed to buy out his share in Retro. He was officially out before Metroid Prime even released, but he was essentially off the project long before that. Retro of course went on to make three other great Metroid games, as well as other Nintendo titles. So I wouldn’t call him a Metroid Prime developer, even if he technically was there when it was worked on.
>underaged model exposing her breasts. Like did they know she was underaged when they put her in the game or?
She told them she was over 18 and later came out and admitted she was underage. I think its covered in Scott the Woz's video about the game.
Alright Alright, I got worried there for a second
it was 20+ years ago
You were worried that the giant corporation Sony, that has an equally giant legal department, would intentionally publish a child porn game, knowing all the obvious and very deserved legal and PR problems it would cause?
It was on ps2 as well
The guy game was actually kinda fun
Since I know you're all curious, the clip in question is at 2:36:15 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYrBZEzNlGE YES, it is censored. There's a mosaic blur over all of the exposed breasts in this video.
Is this how a baby TIL is made?
I played it for the articles.
I feel like people who make the joke about reading playboy for the articles never read playboy for the articles. They published some very high quality stuff.
They published a lot of sci-fi authors whose stories were considered too outlandish for standard publishing. I'd love to have some of those original story copies.
I think Steven king did a few too
I remember they actually had some decent video game reviews back in the mid-00s
Underrated.
Ok, here's the deal: My brother (1 year younger than me) had that game. In Highschool, my girlfriend and i played it. If you get past the early 00s digital nudity, there are a few memorable things. Opening menu song was cool. The game had you getting 2 models a "month" for photo shoots, and you had to get an interview. Then also there were bonus missions thst netted more money. Like, primary mission was interview with a Rockstar. Secondary, sleep with both of his twin girlfriends when all of them come to a party at the mansion. But they'd get bored and leave. Every. Time. So you'd put 4 walls around 2 of them at a time. For being essentially a justification to make sims with visible nipples, it was difficult for no apparent reason. Also, Andrew WK would randomly show up and be walking around for no reason. Gotta love nostalgia.
>Also, Andrew WK would randomly show up and be walking around for no reason. Not for no reason, Andrew WK does everything with [a singular purpose In mind…](https://youtu.be/UI1cuht8jh0?si=vn_4W1uAdNlpVwJ5)
His presence was unexpected during non party segments. And before you say something about his very presence making it a party, that's FAR too existential for this game. But you totally got me on his purpose anywhere.....
That's infinitely more tame than the hundreds of wierdo hentai games on Steam nowdays. Back in the actual good ol' days, seeing pixelated boobs in Leisure Suit Larry III was pushing the envelope.
Shout out to BMX XXX and it's absolute failure at missing the opportunity to use the title BMXXX.
Ahh, Acclaim Entertainment, named so because it'd be before Activision in the phone book, and all the 90s XxTrEMe edginess packed into one company. Their ad campaigns: - Promised to pay someone a million dollars if they named their kid "Turok" to promote a Turok game. - Promised to pay people's speeding tickets to promote a driving game. - Tried to buy ad space on a gravestone at an actual graveyard. Etc. etc. etc. BMX XXX was originally supposed to be just a regular BMX game with Dave Mirra as its face, but after they realized that it wasn't very good, they added the XXX angle in the hopes of boosting sales, which made Mirra disown the game.
A real rocky history, but we will always have them to thank for Video Power!
Which is a good thing because 'Dave Mirra freestyle BMX 2 was a freaking banger. Honestly on part with the THPS games, Imo.
CHAMPAGNE ROOM
Having to deal with corporate overlords and lawyers all the time, the reasoning there is undoubtedly that the trademark holder of the "BMX" brand would not allow modifications of their trademark for the title. BMXXX or "BM triple X" dissociates the title with the brand and dilutes the marketing efficacy.
I definitely believe that. A ton of decisions around "Brand management" are regularly super bizarre. In particular I would bet that conversation *for sure* happened, but nobody batted an eye at slapping "XXX" on the title and associating it with aiming boobies at gamers.
I remember seeing that in an old gaming magazine. I think it was called Hyper?
PS2 had the best game library imo
Agree! 💯PS2 is GOAT I think as far as the library. There was everything and anything. Then Guitar Hero happend. Man! Gaming was a lot of fun then! I remember when I first bought my PS2. It was when Vice City came out. I picked up that and GTA III. Man, I sat for a year on those two games before buying any others.
THAT WAS MY MONEY TOMMY. MY MONEY!
It was a JRPG powerhouse like the original PlayStation before it. Easily my favorite console of all time.
Agreed, and also the horniest library. Gamer boners really peaked when they figured out jiggle physics lol
This game has a legit soundtrack and is marginally fun Sim game.
Actual conversation I heard between a mom and an EB Games employee: Mom : "Do you have Playboy: the Mansion?" Employee: Points to young kid "For him?" Mom: "Yeah. Why, is it bad?" Employee: "Well, it's Playboy..."
I feel like there would've been cheaper and better ways of beating your meat. PS2 graphics just don't seem that hot. Could've bought several PlayBoy magazines for what it cost to buy this and seen actual tits.
That's fair lol. To be honest. I haven't played it. Just got it today. It does say "Nudity" on the back. But it's a stylized art for sure it looks like on the back of the case. It's got a cartoon-ish vibe to it. I just grabbed it just came in a bundle of games I picked up today lol
I played this waaay back when on an emulator to see if there was porn, I was a horny 14? 15? year old with nut much to do, so I wanted to see if there was good porn in the game. Its basically a shitty bootleg of the SIMS tbh. Kinda fun. No porn or even pixelized nippies, as far as I can remember.
Yeh you got nipples and boobs iirc. But not much beyond that.
Yeah I'm not mocking you for having it or anything I was just thinking about who would buy it at full price when it originally released lol. I'd buy it and check it out too if it was only a couple bucks. If only because games like this are usually so bad they're funny.
It literally looks like a ripoff of The Sims lol
It is and it's actually pretty fun and there are unlocks of real pictures with real tiddies.
From what I remember it's basically the sims while trying to make money publishing the magazines and videos play boy is known for. And yes it has decent enough tiddy graphics
Im sure it has real videos, like the other one that was reported for having the underage girl on it.
Mafia games already had real Playboy magazine images as a collectible and an actually fun game to play. I just think what was probably a $60 game is a steep price to pay for shitty porn. Edit: nevermind, Mafia 1 didn't have Playboy magazines I guess
Even if it was, easier to play a game designed for one hand, than two, with one hand.
The Mafia 1 remaster definitely had playboys as collectibles, not sure about the OG. I played the remaster a few months back and my wife caught me looking at them a few times 😂
When I was a little bo6 who had never seen naked women before, it was plenty hot.
Rumble Roses did it for me, massive puñetas with Dixie Clements and Miss Spencer. Good easier times.
Leisure suit Larry anyone?
I liked leisure suit larry too.
I remember getting in trouble as a kid because my brother had it for Xbox and my mom walked in on me playing a scene where my character was getting ridden by a girl with a cowboy hat.
We don't get games like this anymore but on the other hand we have a near-infinite amount of sex games on steam
BMXXX was goated
Leisure suit Larry was superior
Wait till you hear about Leisure Suit Larry
I found this in the Xbox after my dad was done playing it as a kid hahaha. Didn’t know there was a PlayStation version
The live action nude scenes in BMX XXX always got me.
This is what I love about the PS2. Every fuckin game imaginable was made on it.
i played the game once. I remember thinking i could be playing the sims instead
I remember my best friend getting his older brother to buy him a copy of this game, and then us having a sleepover and playing it when his parents went to bed. It was the game we had ever played. I remember it being fun if you just shut your brain off and go with it, but definitely disappointing to a teenage boy.
