Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

An all-succubus fighting game would, and let's be honest here, probably be pretty bad. Certain genres of video games don't really lend themselves to prurient content very easily. At least, in a lot of cases, the execution is sorely lacking.

I think the first "dirty" video game I ever played was a text adventure on, uh... an Apple II I think? Leather Goddesses of Phobos. Literally the only thing I remember about it was that you selected your gender by picking which restroom you used early on in the game. And I didn't get very far in it because I really didn't find those text adventures very compelling. In tabletop D&D, you could do something really unexpected like instead of raiding the orc camp, you could use your raise dead scroll on the orc patrol you killed earlier, patch him up as best you can and have him sneak in and put a sleeping potion in the grog barrel or something, and if you have a good DM, they will react to that kind of thing and often reward players for thinking outside the box. But in those early text adventures, you had like, one to three things you could possibly do in any location, and that was absolutely it. In the earliest ones, you had to mostly just guess what the programmers wanted you to do. So I never got into those much.

After that, dirty games pretty much only existed as rip-offs of Breakout with low res 16 color images of topless or nude women that were covered by the bricks, and a little later there was strip poker that had like 5 or 6 terribly low quality images of the same woman as she undressed. It wasn't really worth it in my opinion since the images were pretty bad and I've always sucked at poker anyway.

I know there's a series of games called Strip Fighter which I've never played but I assume involves two woman fighters punching each other's clothes off, which enters that weird intersection of sex and violence that is sort of amusing when you're 13 but feels a lot more problematic when you get older.

Really the best sort of naughty games are probably just visual novels and dating games - ignoring the "give girl gifts until her Love Meter fills up enough for her to show you her naughty slideshow" game mechanic, which we all assume anyone playing knows that's not really how it works but we all suspect some people are taking away the wrong message.

Oh, and happy new year! Let's get to breaking those resolutions!
