I can’t help but leave this here — Jason Scott’s “The Atomic Level of Porn” which discusses this game among many others. http://vimeo.com/7088524

I remember being confused by those ads in Nibble magazine. I must have been 11 or 12 at the time.

Oh wow. I read about them in Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution.

Did you ever make human soup in their famous hot tub?

Ahhh, still have my Apple IIe. Starts right up. I remember my father paying around $2,200 in 1980. He had to apply for an Apple Credit card to float the payments. That would be something to have now. I remember a white credit card with the apple logo on it.

That computer is too close to the hot tub! They could all get electrocuted! Do they have no concern for personal safety?

I believe the point was that the Apple II got hot and bothered. Rather, it got overheated, because the ports underneath it were blocked by the satin sheets. The Apple II did not have a fan to cool it’s innards down, after all.

I rather adore that you are taking the time and effort to identify the, er … hardware. And with such affecting particulars!

Back when I was writing computer games, me and my business partner had lunch with Ken and Roberta in Boston, discussing a purchase of our company.

Maybe in certain circles, but the only people that would be saying it are trashy magazines trying to stir up controversy.

Or, you know, blog moderators ;)

In high-school the android, or rather, artificial person, with whom I was intimate was fully functional — programmed in multiple techniques — fully versatile…

He said he came from the future and I believe him. He claimed his great grandparents were PowerBooks.

A limited version of this was included with Castle Wolfenstein as a kind of Easter Egg.

IIRC, you’d have to type ‘hot coffee’ at a certain point in the game – I forget which. After the erotic easter egg, it would show a brief advert and info for obtaining the full version.

I had this briefly when I was in junior high. I didn’t have a clue what it was supposed to do at the time. I probably overwrote the floppy with Karateka or something more worthwhile not long after.

sad, I remember this program. it was a precursor to the “Purity Test” http://www.puritytest.org/ and the idea was you would have a party and “interview” the young ladies at your party, and it would get them revved up by talking about naughty things. Ah, to be a computer nerd in 1982….

Oddly, this leads to the NEXT Gen, mike saenz “Mac Playmate” for the 128k Mac, which semi had graphics… http://macintoshgarden.org/games/macplaymate

I remember when I upgraded my Tandy 1000 SL from 384K to 640K–I got 8 32K chips that I had to install directly on the board. I felt l33t before l33t existed. :D

That first image was only a little worse than Strip Poker for the Commodore 64 (but then, I only had a black-and-white TV)

That must be what I found as a kid. With our Apple ][ we got a big box of copied discs, and I loved to try random games out. I found one that was a picture of a man on a beach, who would get pleasured by a woman in a crudely animated scene when you pressed a button. Being quite young at the time, I didn’t quite understand what was going on. However, my mother did, who quickly threw out the disc and yelled at the people we got the computer from.

Yeah, but only the really boring androids from high school that you never talk to anymore.
