A copy of the On-Line Systems’ 1981 Apple II game Softporn Adventure is about to sell on eBay, and you could still be the one to walk off with it! On-Line would go on to become Sierra,
and Softporn Adventure is commonly held up as a precursor to the publisher’s more well-known sexytime adventure Leisure Suit Larry. Softporn Adventure is a text adventure in which your protagonist moves through seductive settings like a bar and a casino while trying to woo three separate women. The current leading bid is… $304. Dang. A Steam
sale, this is Yono Rummy
not. [Update: The auction is over, and the game sold for $810. Hopefully one of you snagged it!] The game is available for free from Abandonia , which raises the question: Why are people willing to pay so much for the hard copy? In this case, the raised price is almost certainly due to the packaging and cover art, which features three ladies and a gent hot-tubbing it. It’s pure 70’s ‘stache-porn, straight out of Boogie Nights. But what’s notable about the cover isn’t so much the risqué nature, Yono All APP but the fact that the woman on the right side of the tub is famed (and at the time, future) Sierra owner and game designer Roberta Williams. The cover is campy fun, and I can see why it’s a collecter’s item. As much as its an homage to cheesy 70’s porn, it’s also a relic of a bygone age of game development—I certainly couldn’t imagine Cliff Bleszinski or Amy Hennig doing something like this today. Actually… I could kind of imagine Bleszinski doing something like this. And.. now you’re probably imagining Bleszinski doing something like this. Sorry. Or maybe: You’re welcome.

The promotions and bonuses offered are very generous. I especially love the daily free spins and deposit bonuses. They make playing even more enjoyable and increase my chances of winning big. The platform keeps me engaged for hours every day. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further.
