Video Games That Went Way Too Far

Publish date: 2024-05-03

The Atari 2600, shockingly, had its share of adult video games. That is, if blocky, pixelated graphics can truly be classified as "adult." Eroticism goes down the toilet once you realize that you can't distinguish a human body from a palm tree. Notable among these games is Custer's Revenge. In the game, you get to play as a nude General Armstrong Custer—you know, the military leader who, along with his troops, perished against an overwhelming force of Native Americans at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. In the game, you must navigate an inexplicably reincarnated Custer across the screen, dodging arrows, all to get to a nude Native American woman who's tied to a pole. Custer then gets his titular revenge by, well, sexually assaulting the woman. Simply put, the word "offensive" doesn't even begin to describe Custer's Revenge. And here we thought that E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was the worst game on the Atari 2600.
