The last day of Hentai Week isn't hentai. [You've got plenty](https://cohost.org/daavpuke/post/4459284-international-hentai) to impress your date today. Rather, I wanted to show this advertisement in a regular magazine that surely couldn't just be porn, right? Surely it's some softcore tease? Nope. It's "interactive" porn. Click a button and you get the next bit; that sort of thing. No need to download a demo; here's Ariana:

For a very brief period in the mid '90s, publications were just taking any money, which includes the sex industry trying to breach both video games and the newer tech of CDs. People like games. People LOVE tits. If you don't give it a second thought, this seems like a perfect intersection. Yet, this didn't last more than a year or so. I imagine households finding out that kids could just buy over the counter gateways to porn eventually led to a mess of complaints. I'll leave you with a little story time in **Read More**👇 Happy Valentine's Day 💘💌💖 https://archive.org/details/intelligent-gamers-fusion-1996-04/page/n91/mode/1up --- Dear Penthouse, *ahem...* I remember a friend finding out that the demo CDs for a local PC magazine were hiding porn, actual hardcore pornography, in sub-folders on its discs. I went over to his house and he'd show me the regular folders and then, bam, full nudity. This happened 2-3 months in a row, before I eventually lost interest in knowing if it happened again, but I still remember that being a crazy occurrence to be among like demos for *Football Manager* and *Wing Commander*. You could just get that at a newsstand and no one would know. They were very similar videos to the above; very low resolution and framerate, with a background as neutral as possible. You can only fit so much video on a CD before it's noticable. Maybe it was even done by an employee trying to sneak something past their editors. It wouldn't be the first time. That was in the same 1996-7 era. Not that long after, games like the **Lula** series started making the rounds and I think that kind of higher visibility eventually shot the more explicit stuff, like the above, in the foot. Hell, even those titles stirred controversy and they seem so silly in the face of modern day Steam hentai hell. You can just buy those kinds of lighter, raunchy games on GOG.com now. We've certainly come a ways since the clandestine days of porn. https://www.gog.com/en/game/lula_the_sexy_empire
