Way back in 2014 I linked to and quoted from a computer game magazine’s feature on the infamous line of cheesy adult video games marketed for the Atari game console in the early 1980s under the Mystique Presents Swedish Erotica brand. Of these the most notorious was the Custer’s Revenge title. It was widely panned at the time for its racism and implied rape, although this seems mostly to have been a reaction to the marketing materials. The actual in-game pixels were so incoherent and blocky they barely manage to seem risque to modern eyes:

Even so, you may well wonder “How in the hell did that even happen? What the actual fuck was going on in the computer gaming industry to make any of it possible?” Well, if that’s your curiosity, we got you covered. In Porno Hustlers Of The Atari Age, author Kate Willaert has dug as deep as it is possible to dig into the history of that iconic porn-in-videogames episode. It is one hell of a trip!
