Hello,
Does anyone know any naughty >adventure-games< kind of like F*ck Quest 1 & 2 and Lesure Suit Larry?

If I google it I just get tons of crap games pretending to be "adventure-games" but really they are just arcade-games.


Reason I'm asking is because I'm a developer who does very serious games all the time but I like doing funnier projects on the side for fun and one of the questions I asked myself one day is "would it be possible to make a game with a immature concept like F*ck Quest except actually try as best as you can to make the story and puzzles as good as possible and have many interesting twists in the plot?".
And I've actually written something which I find to be pretty awesome (may not become a game since it's mostly a mental exercise, but I still don't want to give it away since I may make a game of it some day) so I'm interested in seeing a bit how other similar games are, and I would assume there are tons of unserious naughty adventure-games out there but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

The suggestions may range from barely-naughty (like Larry Leasure) all the way to straight out pr0n as long as it contains actual adventure-game gameplay and not just a arcade game of pressing the space-bar as fast as you can.

The only recent one that comes to mind is Lula 3D, which got utterly panned here. In recent years it's hard to find an AG with so much as implied sex, never mind actual eroticism.

What? No-one has ever heard of this type of games? I doubt it very much and believe most of the people around here just don't want to look like they're interested in this sub-genre of adventure games (nobody wants to be suspected of jacking off! ).

Being a dirty stuff aficionado , I know about these "adult-oriented adventure games":

Ghostly Desires (1995)
Michael Ninn's Latex: The Game (1995)
Days of Oblivion (1996)
Days of Oblivion 2: Frozen Eternity (2000)
Riana Rouge (1997)
Druuna: Morbus Gravis (2001)
Erotica Island (2001)
Back Door Man (2009)
Tender Loving Care (1998)
Airline 69: Return To Casablanca (2003)

And then, we have Steve Meretzky's games like Spellcasting series and Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2

this thread, and its title are...... hilarious.

i remember playing leisure suit larry back in the day.

[mrLOL]

Lol I was just about to agree with Harald that games like these probably don't exists after all, until I saw how Zobrak blessed us with his expertise on the subject XD

Looks like my gaming scheduel will be packed for the next couple of weeks

That's probably because I'm more interested in (plain, down-to-earth) p0rn than in (sublime, artsy-fartsy) eroticism . Most of the titles I mentioned have more to do with the former than with the latter.

The pleasure of educating/enlightening you, folks, is mine!

Be careful not to dry yourself out... of ideas.

There was an FMV game called Voyeur and a sequel but I don't think they're any good - and you're just being a voyeur anyway rather than participating.

Obviously you should play most or all of the Leisure Suit Larrys if you haven't. The different approaches they take with it each game are interesting. The first is very simple...lose your virginity, eventually find something more "meaningful". The second they decided to make a really "strong story" and it's basically this huge James Bond thing with almost no sex.

With 3 they went balls-to-the-wall and had a ton of women to bang or almost bang. There's a story, but it's really more about exploration, girls, and puzzles. There is some really cool meta stuff at the end.

The fifth is from Al Lowe's self-professed "people want games that are like little movies!" stage. It's very easy and is just a lot of watching cut scenes.

LSL6 gives you a location that you can basically explore at will from the very beginning. There are a number of girls to seduce - 6 or 7? Again it's more about the puzzles than anything. In my opinion this type of game is the purest form of adventure gaming in terms of open exploration, non-linearity, and good puzzles. From what I gather, LSL7 is similar, but it's the only one I haven't played.

3 and 6 are the best if you don't want to go through all of them.

Actually most of what you say is true except about the story. There is an in-depth story there, it's just cumulative. Each new game story is fed by the previous one. The only exception is maybe 5 since there was never a 4.

I do not count 8 or 9 mainly because they weren't made by Al Lowe and they basically stunk. 8 was nothing but mini-games even for conversations and 9 was a bad GTA clone IMO. Probably worth trying but not worth buying unless you are like me and absolutely have to have the whole collection with that title.

[mrLOL]

Ah thanks for that LSL breakdown vankman!
as I only tried to play the first two and the last (magna cum lade) and came to the conclusion that the whole franchice is pure garbage (magna is just purely arcade game as far as I can see), but I had a look through some walkthroughs of those you recommended and they are indeed proper adventure-game!

my favorite qoute from the walk-through:
"By the way, have you saved your game recently? If not, do so now. Now, keep clicking your hand on her shirt until you get to see those magnificent boobies! Ok, now you're dead, so restore your game."

@Brimstone: cool I didn't know there was a 9th version! and GTA-clone about picking up girls sounds pretty cool.. but just wiki'd it and lol epicly bad reviews

[Gonchi]

I've played many more of these games than I should freely admit... don't judge me!

No love for Masq? One of my favorite "adult" games, though I'm not really sure I'd call it unserious.

I'm also a confessed fan of True Love, but that's about as far as I'd recommend anyone venture into Hentai games. Trust me. I've walked in the shadows between worlds...

[Captain Blondebeard]

Too funny.... almost uncomfortable.

How about Rex Nebular?

There were also the LES MANLEY games from Accolade, which were Leisure Suit Larry wannabes. TENDER LOVING CARE was not pornographic, it was "adult" in that it depicted a lot of sadistic behavior, but this sadism was largely psychological.

BTW, Venkman's description of Leisure Suit Larry 5 is incorrect on several counts. There were not really more cutscenes in LSL5 than in the other Larry games. The difference between LSL5 and the previous LSLs was that the puzzles were astoundingly easy. This was not a phase of Al Lowe's, this was a phase of Ken Williams's. For years, we had been putting survey cards in the boxes of the games, and Ken noticed that, according to those cards, a majority of people who started playing an adventure game NEVER FINISHED IT. He felt that indicated people weren't getting a fully satisfying experience. He said to Al, "Okay, let's make this one so easy that even a child could get to the ending." So Al made the puzzles ridiculously easy. (Maybe it's because practiced players could breeze through the puzzles that the game seemed to have more cutscenes -- you got to them faster.) It was a critical flop and disappointed a lot of old-school players looking for an interesting puzzle or two, but we also got tons of grateful feedback from players who said, "I was never able to finish an adventure game before!" A typical puzzle was: you have a camcorder, but the battery is dead. You have a battery charger and there's an outlet on the wall. Hmmm. How to proceed?

If you want to look at porn games, you'd be better off looking at the Japanese market. There are vast numbers of explicit "Hentai" games in Japan.

Josho: o..m..g.. I think I'm gonna pretend I didn't just read that, sometimes the less you know about the internal dialogues from games-industry management the better you sleep at night thinking there's hope for humanity after all

I used to work in the industry as well and I have a hundred stories of "stupidity heard in meeting-rooms" that I'm still trying to erase from my memory

While I don't know anything about adventure-games industry I can very vividly see in front of me the scenario you are talking about how either they make completely illogical puzzels with no clear telling to the player what he's supposed to focus on, or they turn around completely and say "hey, people say our puzzels sucks, let's not make them better, let's make them EASIER to the point of non-existant!".

[Ascovel]

That's some very interesting info about design choices for LSL5, Josh.

Why didn't Sierra continue trying with this model? I understand LSL5 was only a critical flop, not necessarily commercial one?

Not really. Although the Japanese do have a lot of porn games the vast majority are visual novels - basically choose your own adventure books in digital form if you remember them.

There are actually very few Japanese adventure games puzzle related, it isn't a big genre there. And puzzles I assume is what the OP was after? Or was it simply a more serious porn game rather than some crap flash arcade thing?

This has to be the best name of a topic ever.

True Love is actually a really fun game, so let me second this recommendation. It doesn't really fit into the hentai genre nor is it a regular adventure game, but rather a simple, but charming RPG. That doesn't make it any less graphic, and I believe it has some (optional) scenes that involve a minor, so keep that in mind.

Exactly, that's what I've been saying that there's soo much out there that claims to be naughty adventure-games but is really a visual novel or mini-games or something else.

Luckily after this thread the collective wisdom of this forum has helped me find plenty

[Pyke]

Ill be honest...I thought the thread header was a typo for 'Adventure-games with big ass titles? ', and was about...well...long titles in Adventure games. Woohoo was I wrong.
