This game was placed in the last Retro Junk box by Rowsdower70 (Thank you, sir!)
 
I finally took the time to really play it, and thought I'd give my impression here.
 
The game itself is labeled as #17 of 20, and signed by Joe Grisaffi (one of the designers and director of the film) and was made in 2013. I have not seen the film this game is based on, but it appears to be available for free on-line, and I'm going to check it out. I also don't know if only 20 copies of this cartridge were created. If so, that's a shame, as the game is really good. It came with a manual which is simple and well done.
 
The game has a really nice opening screen with great music. You start as a naked guy who has to find his armor. Once you find it, you can use your sword to hack up 4 victims that you have to search for. Each time you kill a victim, a policeman is spawned. They shoot you, and you are unable to kill them. After the 4th victim is killed, the goal becomes to find a character named "Marla" and drag her into a castle. Once inside, you must defeat a Boss Queen by shooting away at her shields and then the queen herself.
 
The game reminds me a lot of "Haunted House" -- lots of searching and exploring, while avoiding the bad guys as best you can. I think it's really a lot of fun. It makes you want to keep playing until you can defeat at least one boss. The graphics are great, and there's no flicker at all.
 
RickR's final grade: A
 
Anyone else have more info on this game, or an opinion on the gameplay?

Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley. 

And Crossbow in the arcade. 

I remember when one of my younger brother downloaded some random ROMS, and I decided to look thought the folder to see what was there. I clicked some game I had never heard of called "Custer's Revenge." After a minute, I realized what I was looking at, and I shut it off. That was not a pleasant experience. You should have seen the look on my face.
 
No, I won't be collecting games like this. I'm a Christian, and I think those kinds of games are disgusting. If I ever buy a box of games and find those games in it, they're going straight into the trash.

********UPDATE*********
 
The mayor responded and after a short chat she assured me that the owner of the property will be in contact with me!!!!!!!

Heard from the property owner tonight!
 
He is going to gather what is there and get back to me.
 
This might be a go!

I agree completely with rowsdower.  I'd only buy at bargain price with the intent to sell.  I find them offensive and they have no place in my collection.

I agree, I wouldn't play them or buy them. While I believe it's disgusting, to me it seems silly these days considering what these are, porn games on an Atari 2600. That being said, it certainly was nothing to laugh about back then, but now, I feel it's seen as more of a joke than anything controversial. While I certainly laugh when someone mentions these games, I myself wouldn't play them since I'm a Christian and even if I wasn't, I still think they're sick and that this isn't the way that people should view a member of the opposite sex. 
What I find interesting is how many of these games came out, and not all were Mystique and Playaround. There was one called X-Man by some other company and I believe there was at least one more. Also, Playaround made gender reversed version of some of these games. Seriously, these guys were huge perverts.
 
In general, I don't care if other people wanna try these games out, but I'd rather avoid them no matter how silly or collectible they are. There are better rare games out there like Frogger 2 Threeedeep, Swordquest Waterworld, and Quadrun. Still, whether we like it or not, these will forever be part of video game history.

I guess that I'm in the minority here. I would consider getting Custer's Revenge for the controversy and history of it. I agree that it is an absolutely disgusting concept and it should have never been made. That said, no money is going to the long defunct makers at this point. As a well publicized and rightly criticized piece of Atari and gaming history, I think it is certainly a novel item to have in your collection. As for the rest of the titles, no thanks. They are bad games; poorly designed and not at all erotic.

Id at least play the game a few times and then sell it. Im actually still waiting on my buddy to go in his attick and find those games. He swears to me he has 3 x-rated games. If he ever does find em ill give them a try but most definitely sell them

Ok here it is. I did some more work on it. Added more stuff to it. Top are my boxed handhelds. First shelf are my gamecube and wii games (still have some more wii games to add)
 
Second shelf is ps2, xbox, and my loose genesis games. I dont have many loose genesis games. I also need to add more ps2 games later.
 
And the bottom is my ever growing vhs tapes collection. The thrift store i go to has this really nice cashier who told me that they throw away tapes all the time so she lets me get them for less than 50 cents

If I saw these at a flea market, I'd laugh and then walk away. Even if they're collectible, I'd rather not have Custer's Revenge on my shelf.

Nope. I want nothing to do with them. 
 
Besides, from what I understand, Custards Revenge gave the clear appearance that the goal of the game is to help Custard get his revenge by raping a tied down Native American woman named Revenge (even if the makers tried to cover up the goal when protests arose). Seriously, that is sick. Even if games like this claimed everything is consensual, I personally think they're disgusting and I  don't want anything to do with the porn industry, especially since it tends to objectify women as sex objects and has been harmful to many lives and families.
 
So long story short, for these reasons among others, if I ever found a copy of one of these games mixed in a box of games I bought off of ebay, I'd have no problem forgoing the $ to trash it instead.
 
Just to clarify, I'm not out to force my beliefs on anybody, I'm not out to judge anybody who does collect them or would buy or sell them. I'm just answering the question for myself.

That's a negative ghost rider. 


If I saw one in the wild I'd snag it and sell it in a heartbeat.   Not my cup o' tea.   A novelty at best!

Why is Realsports Baseball not on this list?  I'd play that over any of these. 

If Dragonstomper had a save feature, it would have been one of the best games of all time.
 
I remember really liking it, but got very frustrated with the time commitment involved -- yet no real idea on how to win. You'd buy a "Stun" spell that did nothing...that type of thing. Another nice addition would be a hit-bar display for the dragon.

Have any of you guys ever defeated the dragon on Dragonstomper?  I had the game back in the day, and liked it.  But never defeated it.  Plus it took a long time to make it to the dragon only to get defeated pretty quickly.  I just found it frustrating after a while, but I completely understand the appeal. 

Adventure.  Best game on 2600 period for me. 

Ridiculous. 

I agree with you k. If something is too valuable to open and play, I would just sell it.
