I once had a soft massive, raging, stiff spot for more adult games... when I was in my teens, bizarrely. There was something about playing a more lurid and provocative title that made it feel like you were playing a game ‘outside the rules’. From sheepishly purchasing Strip Poker 3 from Electronics Boutique (or rather, coaxing my mum to, brilliant!) through to discovering Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love For Sail a years later, there was always a primal thrill when I discovered something that appealed to the more base instincts that dwell in us all.
As I got older, and pornography (and dalliances with the fairer sex) became more readily available, adult gaming very much faded away, and even the more recent Leisure Suit Larry games – whilst having various positives – felt somewhat watered down when compared to previous counterparts. And so for a long while, the likes of Cobra Mission: Panic in Cobra City, and Knights of Xentar were far from my mind...
..until I caught wind of Ktulu Solutions’ Metropolis: Lux Obscura back in 2018, a game that – whilst flawed in tone – featured some saucy bare skin and reminded me of the seemingly lost adult genre – lost in a mainstream context, at least.
