That is one I had not heard of. The whole idea of those sorts of games on those systems (there were other “adult games”) was just odd…

We have more adult games now than ever... the demand has always been there, we just toned down the racism (one would hope)

It's going to be hard to top the utter cringe of a game where you control a naked guy with a single pixel dick on his way to rape an indigenous woman.

There’s no evidence it was rape. She stands there the entire time while she could have fled if she feared the man risking his life to be with her. Like “Romeo and Juliet” this was forbidden love but their passion for each other was so great he was willing to dodge a barrage of deadly arrows to embrace his love. And against all odds, they make passionate, intense love.

According to the box... art... she's supposedly tied to the pole.

Could be kink and we shouldn’t kink shame. The developer said he was seducing her and she had passion for him. For all we know her own tribe tied her up (she’s on their defensive side protecting her and stripped naked as humiliation I presume) as punishment for her affair and he is consumed by passion and risking it all to make love one last time.

They're trolling, they're trying to create a logical knot by pitting different values they perceive people to hold against each other to try and create contradiction and confusion. But it's easily untied by recognizing they don't have any interesting point to make and we can just ignore them.

There is at least one game on steam that is a Nazi based graphic novel dating(fucking) game.

Well, they're still there, they just don't get a platform and the creators get doxxed and hounded off the internet. A fairly recent example was a(nother) school shooter game.

Yeah. On the positive(?) side, it was intended to stir up controversy by being outrageous, not to be a good product in and of itself.

Here's a really good article about the history of the company that made it and other similar products: https://kotaku.com/porno-hustlers-of-the-atari-age-184762217...
