Free Spirit Software published a number of adult text adventure games for
PC and possibly other platforms. All of their titles (with the exception of The Last
Inca, which was G-rated) featured intergalactic hero "Brad Stallion" and his ship,
the "Big Thruster". They're all pretty much rip-offs of Infocom's Leather Goddesses
of Phobos, but distinctly aimed at male players (unlike LGoP, which allowed you to
choose your gender) and minus Steve Meretzky's wit. These were not sold in
family-oriented software stores and are quite difficult to come by. The first game
in the trilogy is Sex Vixens from Space, which comes in a bigger package than other
Free Spirit games. The goal in this one is to explore a planet populated only by
women. Sounds like Rex Nebular, right? Well, the game is much, much worse. There
are many things wrong with the game. On
the surface, it's your typical text adventure - type VERB + NOUN commands to
progress, and use inventory items to solve puzzles, etc. However, the parser in this
game is so horrible that Infocom fans will probably cringe after the first few
minutes. Aside from having a very limited vocabulary, the parser expects only the
*exact* VERB + NOUN command that the designers have in mind. |
