These were advertised primarily in pornographic magazines, like Hustler and PlayBoy. Doubtless older children saw the advertisements and passed on the information to their younger siblings and friends. By the time it reached you at 10, it was merely rumor, because most 10 year old kids don't even know what pornography is. Well, back then they didn't.

@@dtester I think you're wrong about adult games on the NES. Nintendo tightly controlled what games could be run on their system, and to run on their system they included a security chip in each cartridge. If the security chip wasn't there, the program wouldn't run. A few companies got around this, but they were mostly RELIGIOUS games like Bible Adventures. You can look up "Bible Adventures AVGN" here if you want to see them. They bypassed the security chip by using the security chip of a legitimate cartridge, and the connection was... weird. CodeMaster (the company) used this method. Companies got around in various ways.
Loved your descriptions of these. Very amusing! It's still hard to believe this stuff was made for the 2600.

@@GenXGrownUp Yeah really Jon... this was the perfect balance of pop culture archival and comedy video.
The 'Sexy Surprise" level of X-man reminds me of 'Stroker 64' on the Commodore 64 which relied on moving the joystick in just the right rhythms to grow your tool as big as possible then faster and faster when you were ready for the 'big climax' and how much you would shoot. 13 year old lil' Exidy got a kick out of it, but the fact it was colour PETSCII graphics and had a terrible song to stroke by ment it fell limp after a few months. ;-) Still, it sticks in your memory. A good and accurate rating scale on your video, but I might have given the Dragonfire rip-off a B rather then a C. That's about it tho. Custer's Revenge wasn't even a game, it was a demo of offensiveness. Even back then.
Ah yes, a fine addition to my collection.>:)
I used to have a ROM for the SNES that was way worse than Custers's Revenge. It was called Rape Games and it was extremely graphic. It was also a horrible "game" with terrible gameplay, it resorted to the player just rapidly smashing buttons to complete levels.

As someone born mid-1979 and growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, the rudimentary crudeness of things like this makes me chuckle. But I completely remember things like this. Just like one of your friend’s dad’s Playboy magazine collections hidden under the bed or something, taboo things like these games were those hidden dirty little secrets that random people had. I think we all knew at least one person who knew where one was. Sometimes it was an adult video on VHS. As the 90’s came around, I remember a single one of my friends had an internet connection in the very early days of that (something most of us didn’t even understand), and had found maybe one place where he could download a VERY pixelated nude image or two of women, at an absolute snail’s pace. It’s all really funny to look back on. I was never one of those troublemaker kids growing up at all, but coming from a pretty conservative family, where things like nudity, sex, or profanity were VERY taboo and forbidden, and weren’t easy to be exposed to at all like today, I have to say it felt good to sneak a quick peek at certain things. Even if they were just barely recognizable. Crazy how things have changed, and how seemingly innocent this all looks now.
12:07 -- Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" would be perfect for this one! I wonder how it would sound on Atari 2600...
There were 12 games if you include Knight on the Town (gender-swapped version of Lady in Wading) and Jungle Fever (gender-swapped version of Burning Desire), but the video still covered all ground, and we know where those two would've ranked based on where you ranked the alternate versions, so it's all good. A very "informative" video, for sure!

Y'know... I was wonderin where I would have been exposed to that game... me and my fellow 10 year old friends... I imagined "those" magazines was where. But does anyone have any recollection or evidence of ads for "Custer's Revenge" from other sources, like "Heavy Metal", "Omni" magazine or "Starlog" or "Fangoria" ?
Itll be cool if some of these games were remade, especially the king trick game where hes avoiding muggers and cops to smash
This was fun.

I think we can all agree, an Atari 2600 game represents a very challenging wank.
I remember hearing that some of these existed back then but of course never came across any and therefore doubted their existence. Word was that you had to go to a porno shop to find them and since wasn't really an option at the time I never seen any in person. Just as well since they aren't really good games. I'm sure I would have giggled endless at the "game play" though at the time. I've had access to them for years now but have only played any of them probably once each. They're just not that great. Great video though. Lots of fun. 😁

Yep!
Was that the Missile Command start sound I heard at the end of Beat ‘Em and Eat ‘Em? Or was it a Yars Revenge sound?

You mean the Pac-Man dying sound? I call that out, or maybe you heard something else.

@@GenXGrownUp It was another sound, after you mentioned the Pac-Man sound. Towards the end of that segment. On reflection, the poor little 2600 had such poor sound, it's not surprising everything sounds so similar. But I did hear something familiar.

@@seanys I went back and heard what you mean - when the game ends and the windows flash, right? That is very end-of-the-world Missile Command-y.
