So i cant say i have kept up with video games as much as i want to but some games from yesteryear have stuck with me. Before Grand theft auto (its a link to a Mad TV GTA board game skit) let you be a bad ass their was Golgo 13. The game was for the original NES system and came out in 1988. You played some secret agent guy assassin type who has to do something or other. What set this game apart was the sex smoking and violence for a video game of that era. It wasnt your normal koopa troopa game.
In the game Duke thats the dudes name would smoke to get health points? And the violence was new for the time with POV shooting in section of the game when in sniper mode. But what made it different was the sex. Heres what wikipedia had to say about it "Throughout his lengthy mission, Golgo 13 encounters many female operatives who not only offer intelligence, but also themselves. The actual depiction of sexual consummation takes the shape of two small and primitive shaped silhouettes briefly coming together and voyeuristically viewed from a distant, wide-angle shot of hotel room window. In a strangely comedic twist, the player's energy is restored in the morning." Here are two you tube links for the game Link 1 is a funny game review and Link 2 is a couple yahoos doing dumb stuff.
At the time i thought cool beans now the game just seems quaint. Here's to sex and violence

That's pretty sweet. Never heard of this game before but damn it sounds good. Hard to believe they got away with that back then. That guy seems pretty suave
