    Never played this game, but I still feel I have seen enough to review it.

    Yes, I have never played this game. However, let's look at things from a different perspective. I may have never 'played' this game, but this really is not a game. It is not even a movie for the most part, it is an interactive slide show. There will be no argument from anyone who has 'played' this 'game', because you cannot play an interactive slide show. You can choose which set of slides you want to view and they make it so that it is progressing the storyline, but in the end it is neither a game nor a movie with the exception of the opening where a hot girl tells you who you can make her do anything you want. Now if this is the case, I would say get naked, do things to yourself, and skip all the crap that is the interactive slide show and ditch the dumb dude. You cannot, however, do any of this so she lies right off the bat, just as this game lies by saying it is some sort of highly interactive real time game. You get horrible comedy, the opening scenes with the phone calls from the mother and father should clue you into that, and if they do not the two dueling narrators should. Then you have what looks to be the longest chase sequence that flickers across the screen a bit like those sketches on Mad TV, only those are funny and this is most certainly not. Once in awhile you get to choose what goes on, but you do not really have a choice as you get complained at if you pick some more of the racy choices which is kind of the point of a game like this. At least I would think so, who wants to see a happy ending with everything working out. I would rather see nudity! I mean, they made an interactive slide show where they limit your input to a ridiculous degree and expect you to be happy with it. Whoever made this game, I am sure thinks of themselves as clever and funny, the reality is they are incredibly unskilled filmmakers who need to buy themselves a dictionary so they can read the definition of video game and movie.

    Well, at least they got boobs.

    That's the only thing that is good about this. There's nothing more to say.

    Best game of 1993 no lie !!!

    I actually love this game I don't care what the haters say they might not have tried on the game but honestly I think this is a fine piece of gaming history I recommend people who collect old games to get this game and i seen the gameplay it's really not that bad of a game so I don't know what the fuss is about

    Call The Police! Said John.

    That's all I have to say. Bad voice acting makes it funny.

    Not really a video game. Not really a movie. Not really much of anything

    This "video game" had to be an inside joke. There is no way on earth that the developers of this "game" thought that any consumer would find this "game" appealing in any way, shape or form. Basically, what you have is a horrendous train wreck of a "game". There is nothing redeeming about what these developers thrust on the consumer. That said, the AVGN does a great job of spoofing this "game".

      When the male narrator is shooting the female narrator, the bullet holes appear at random all over the screen, instead of appearing on her body.
