Information AboutCuster's Revenge |
''Custer's Revenge'' is an adult-oriented Video Game made for the Atari 2600 by Mystique , a company that produced a number of Pornographic video games. It was one of several Video Game Companies that tried to use Sex to sell its games as well as attract older demographics. The game was first released on October 13 , 1982 . ''Custer's Revenge'' gained notoriety for its particular plot. In the game, the player controls the character of General George Armstrong Custer , depicted as a naked man sporting a Cavalry hat, stylish boots, and a visible Erection . Custer has to overcome various (not very difficult) obstacles to achieve his goal, which is to have sex with a crudely depicted, large- Breast ed Native American Woman who is bound to a post. The game's design prompted complaints and public statements from various spokespersons for Women's Rights groups (who felt that the image of having sex with a tied-up woman was a simulation of Rape ), anti-pornography activists, Native American spokespersons, and critics of the video game industry in general. Aside from complaints over the game's sexual content, many found that the gameplay was rather simplistic. People also found the pornography element of the game somewhat overblown. The characters in the game have been compared to Lego blocks or cardboard boxes. Like many other video game manufacturers, Mystique went out of business and sold the rights to their games to Playaround. Playaround continued to market ''Custer's Revenge'' as ''Westward Ho'' for a time. They made minor modifications to the game, which included making the skin of the "woman" darker than originally, and having her extend her arm and gesture to "Custer" to come over to her. They also made a version of the game called '''''General Retreat'''''. In this game it is the "woman" who has to overcome various obstacles to have sex with "Custer" - who this time is the one tied to the post. Instead of arrows, cannon balls are fired at the woman. ''General Retreat'' has often times been hailed as the better of the two versions, featuring slightly less questionable material. There were rumors of another version of the game to be released, entitled "Custer's Return". It was supposedly the same game, but set in Mexico. Mystique never released the game. ''Custer's Revenge'' was in part a driving force behind Nintendo developing the 10NES chip for their Nintendo Entertainment System console. The chip was developed in part because of a desire by Nintendo to keep games like ''Custer's Revenge'' from being published for the NES. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
