''Custer's Revenge'' (also known as '''''Westward Ho''''') is a Pornographic Video Game made for the Atari 2600 by Mystique , a company that produced a number of Adult Video Game titles for the system. The game was first released on October 13 , 1982 and has received significant criticism because of its crude simulation of an apparent Rape of a physically restrained Native American woman. Digital Press video game database Gamespy's Top Ten Shameful Games . CONTROVERSY ''Custer's Revenge'' gained notoriety for its peculiar Plot . In the game, the player controls the character of General George Armstrong Custer , depicted as a man wearing nothing but a Cavalry Hat , Boots , and a Bandana , sporting a visible Erection . Custer has to overcome various obstacles to achieve his goal, which is to have intercourse with a crudely depicted, naked, large- Breasted Native American woman, named "Revenge", who is bound to a post. The game prompted criticism from Women's Rights groups who stated that the simulation of having sex with a tied-up woman was a simulation of Rape . Other groups such as Women Against Pornography , Native American spokespersons, and critics of the video game industry in general protested the game. The focused media attention caused the game to sell approximately 80,000 copies, twice as many copies as Mystique's other X-rated games, '' Bachelor Party '' and '' Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em ''. VARIATIONS Like many other video game manufacturers of the era, Mystique went out of business. They sold the rights to their games to Playaround , which 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 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 been hailed as the better of the two versions, featuring slightly less questionable material. REFERENCES SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
