Is this wrong?

[_Simpson_ 250]

I think so, yes

A friend brought this to my attention, I have never even heard about this game. It was never released in the states for obvious reasons. Squaresofts Tom Sawyer

How old is that game? It looks like it was from the 80s.

It is, I think late 80's. It was a original Nintendo game.

Well there are modern games that put that in the shade. Grand Theft Auto for instance.

There's a whole other market for video games in Japan, most of which never see the light of day outside of Japan. There was a controversy recently about a game available for purchase on amazon.com through amazon.jp that feature sexual molesation.

They changed the game title to Friday the 13th.

Wrong and just terrible.

So are you trying to say in a subtle way that I should of brought up something a little more up to date?

I was surprised that Australia actually rejected the original edit of Fallout 3 because of real-world drug references, necessitating the developers to alter the game so that the drugs were make-believe.

Also all that silliness about an unlockable sex scene in the last GTA game, with Hillary Clinton jumping on the bandwagon.

Did that game have racial overtones too?

Well - do you honestly want to be outraged by a 20 year old videogame for a long-defunct system that's no longer in circulation?

There's a lot of underground video games out there. One of the first I believe was a game for the Atari 2600 where General Custer binds and rapes an Indian woman. Of course, this was all just blocks....pretty crude graphics.

.....

Ah, here it is:

There's little to defend in Custer's Revenge, other than the fact that it serves as a remarkable example of just how early video game controversies existed and how controversy alone can sometimes make a game--but not always. The Atari 2600 game shipped in the early '80s and pushed all the wrong (or possibly right) buttons. The gameplay, graphics, and technical merit of the game were so bad, that were it not for the explicit nature of the game, it's doubtful anyone would even remember it.

In the game, you played as a comic facsimile of General George Armstrong Custer, the infamous 19th-century military officer who contributed to a seedier side of American history until he met his (and his entire unit's) death at Little Big Horn in 1876 at the hands of Native Americans. As the game version of Custer, you embarked on little more than a rape romp, as you ran literally across the screen from "enemy" arrows toward a Native American woman strapped to a pole. Once there, Custer would get it on with (or, according to many critics, "rape") the woman for points. Game over.

Author Tom Moriarty reported in the October 1983 issue of Videogaming and Computergaming Illustrated ("Uncensored Videogames: Are Adults Ruining It For The Rest Of Us?") that in October 1982, outside the New York Hilton, where retailers and the press were gathered to see Custer's Revenge, "250 women and men gathered to protest that activity." Kristen Reilly, a leading member of Women Against Pornography, organized the protesters, with help form the National Organization for Women (NOW) and the American Indian Community House. Reilly told Moriarty, "The game features an enactment of a white male, General Custer, ravishing an Indian Woman who is tied to a post. Once there was a lot of furor over the game, the company (American Multiple Industries) denied that it was rape. They claimed that it was mutually consenting visual images, which is really asinine."

Being that console games were so new to the public, angry protesters and disenchanted parents weren't entirely sure where to point their fingers in the case of Custer's Revenge. Many pointed at Atari, holding the console maker responsible. According to Moriarty's article, Atari filed a lawsuit against AMI/Mystique for "wrongful association" of Custer's Revenge to the Atari 2600.

While Custer's Revenge sat in court and (if it sold at all in retail venues) sat behind the counter, Mystique released two additional "X"-rated games. One was Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em, somewhat styled after Kaboom, only giving way to another sexual-antics-for-scoring play motif. Bachelor Party was the other, involving hitting on women in mass quantities. Mystique closed its operations shortly after the release of Bachelor Party.

That's been done before. See Michael Jackson's Moonwalker

"The gameplay is focused on finding children, all of whom resemble Katie from the movie, which are scattered throughout the level, some behind certain objects such as doors."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jacks...39;s_Moonwalker

Don't ask what happens to the kids after he finds them cowering behind objects.

Well Apple had to pull that baby-shaking game from the App store.
