You're making me feel old again: <i>stop - that</i>.

I mean, I understand it, but when I played it it totally baffled me. True, I was like 10 at the time, but who knew what those controls did, or why this ship was there, or what the hell was going on. And, yes, I think good sex could be a lot like that :-). For actually thoughtful commentary on the future of sex design, I would recommend you to Kelly Rued's musing on the IGDA's Sex SIG mailing list. She runs Black Love Interactive, and, as such, knows her shit. I could never understand Myst. I mean, I understand it, but when I played it it totally baffled me.

WHY." The world may never know... Probably something to do with performing decadent sexual acts in aforementioned money. Like Uncle Scrouge, in Duck Tales, who swims in the stuff. You know he's doing more than that in there. “Why would people who are making sex games create buildings for storing money. WHY.”
