Streaking
There are strange games and
then there are really strange games. This is a really strange
game. If you lived during the 1970's, then you know one of the
popular events were people streaking around in public places.
For people unfamiliar with the term streaking (and I am not
talking about cleaning windows, though there may be an
interesting game concept there), it means taking off all your
clothes and running through a public area. Sometimes it was done
for protest, sometimes to attract attention. Whatever the
reason, it came and went, with the leisure suit. But it was
forever captured in this very odd little game.
Streaking is in its most basic form,
a Pac-Man clone. You must run around the screen as a naked
woman, picking up these pellets that keep you from getting
fatigued. If you go too long without eating these pellets, then
you die from fatigue. There are also energizers of sorts that
teleport you out of harm's way. They can be used once. You are
being chased by policemen who are trying to take your naked self
down to be detained in prison. But you want to be free and
natural, so you must avoid them.
The game is sorta like Pacman
meets strip poker in reverse. If you are confused, let me
explain. As you run around, a piece of clothing will pop up that
you can run over and clothe yourself. Your ultimate goal is to
get all your clothes back on and get a bag of money. You will
usually get about two articles of clothing per level, so it will
take you about 5 levels to finish it.
Now all you horndogs out there
are probably already off to find and download this game. Let me
put your mind at rest. The character is so small and so poorly
drawn, that the only way I could tell it was a woman was that
the second article of clothing was a bra. Of course it could be
a transvestite too, but I am guessing it is a woman. You have to
be really sad to derive anything from this game, other than a
few chuckles. It is pretty harmless and is more of a novelty.
The gameplay is very basic and if it wasn't for the novel
approach, no one would ever care about this game. You will find
that you may play it a few times and show it to a few friends
for laughs and then you will forget all about it. Just like the
streaking craze, this game is very fleeting and quickly
forgotten.
This is just a review of the arcade machine.
