I played the adventure game so scandalous that it was physically destroyed by UK customs

What vile debauchery could lie within Sex Vixens from Space?

I played the adventure game so scandalous that it was physically destroyed by UK customs

In 1988, a controversial graphic adventure game named Sex Vixens from Space was developed by Free Spirit Software and released in the United States. The game was intended to be released in the UK the following year, but it was never officially released due to being intercepted and destroyed by UK Customs during a shipment. The game's director, Joe Hubbard, stated that while the game may be racy, it is not pornographic, and the British authorities are either prudish or humorless.

Hubbard also accused the British government of fascism for destroying the game, which he believed was an act of freedom of artistic expression. The game's premise involves exploring space, finding a colony of women known as the Tribe, and neutralizing them. However, the game is not particularly sexy, and the rooms you explore are mostly empty or contain non-sexy inhabitants.

The game's graphics are rudimentary, and the character interactions are limited to walking, talking, and shagging.
