The best – and very worst – sex scenes in video game history

There has always been sex in video games. As shocking as this revelation may be to those who have only ever played Call of Duty, Fifa or Pokémon Go, it's the truth. As soon as developers were able to put animated pixels on a screen, they were trying to make those pixels do rude things. In the early 1980s, for example, a publisher named Mystique released a series of "erotic" games for the Atari 2600, beginning with Burning Desire, in which you played a naked air rescue worker. From the very start, realism was important. Later, we were treated to Sam Fox Strip Poker on the Commodore 64 and Night Trap on the Sega Mega Drive, a sort of fuzzy interactive B-movie that was deemed so shocking that it became the subject of a congressional hearing.
