Somehow everyone – who is honest – has been waiting for it or at least has firmly planned a fictitious lottery win in this way: a whole ocean liner full of beautiful women who are all waiting for an amorous adventure with their own personal cock of the walk. The journey promises light-heartedness and luxury and not least the view into some black abyss behind the tanned facade oiled with experienced hands.
Not an grumpy shellback with a white beard and wind tanned skin is the captain of the ship, but a first class blonde. The dream of every man at top of the dream ship knows about her own charms. Therefore, only a very special and extraordinarily successful male hero may be her companion for the week. The prerequisite is the completion of a series of competitions which are held on the ship during the journey. Only real men can pass and the player has the thankless task to lead our sad imitation of a man to the top of the masculine virtues.
When it comes to entertainment media, things are simple. Rule #1: in each technical medium, people will create porn. Rule #2: for each popular franchise, people will create porn. Cross the two and the craziest offsprings may appear. Well, crazy to someone not further introduced. But totally logical to insiders.
Consequently, it was just a question of time until the first pornographic text adventures appeared. Infamously, On-Line Systems (the company which later renamed itself to Sierra) published Softporn Adventure in 1981. A wealth (?) of more or less professionally made games followed. Who doesn't remember gems (ahem…) such as Drive-In or The Farmer's Daughter? And then, there was Dallax – one of the first porn parody/tribute of a million dollar frachise in text adventure format.
