Politically incorrect Amiga games...

I was thinking about "politically incorrect" games for the Amiga, trying to remember some of them, on the top of my mind.

The Persian Gulf Inferno
Deluxe Strip Poker

There are probably more, or better examples of games that didn't age well, feel free to add more titles.

Damage: The Sadistic Butchering Of Humanity
This is an obvious one


Safari Guns
The screenshot with the heads mounted


Passengers On The Wind and Passengers On The Wind II

Slavery, nudity, occultism... These games have it all.

So given that Deluxe Strip Poker is an example... can we unquote political incorrectness and give it a definition to know what games we're looking for here? Edgy?

Leisure Suit Larry series especially the first game where he seeks prostitution, which is illegal in the US where the game setting is based on.

Any number of other pure adult games like Party Games and Bedroom Olympiad that were likely developed for fun.

Are these fun to play?

If you are a fan of pre-90's French comics, I guess it is.

Safari Guns; the game that teaches kids hunting is morally wrong... unless you're hunting the hunters.

Schoolyard Slaughter runs with the theme, upping the ante. Here kids are encouraged to assassinate kids.

I'm giving Wheelchair Gladiators a pass because that's disabled people picking on other disabled people. It's hard to argue that's discrimination.

Deluxe Strip Poker was my subjective pick, as it seems any games where nude women are the selling point are frowned upon these days.

I guess a lot of Amiga games will offend someone these days, but looking for the ones that are obvious in this aspect.

i don't think that these games are politally incorrect because are simply videogames.

Any modern games are all politically incorrect (bloodbath, dead, undead) and the most, iper, super, mega, extra incorrect is GTA series (in Amiga it is called Payback)

These days, Colonization is definitely not PC.

Nudes or killing people like in GTA I don't call nonPC anymore. But representation and privilege is.

This kind of threads provoke political discussions btw...

I was hoping the thread would provoke some more interesting game titles, already had a good laugh while trying some of the stuff mentioned, "Bedroom Olympiad" FTW so far (not much left for imagination there).

This could be so, but would still be one of the dumber manifestations of this trend out there. No problem playing one of the countless strategies where you can be a Nazi...

No fun at all! The plot is impossible to follow (Your mileage may vary if you play in French) and the interaction model is both shallow and unfair at the same time.

Thanks for the replies. The games seem reminenscent of visual novels from Japan. I'll likely skip them until I read the comics first.
