Teenage-me once found a DOS porn text adventure on a used 286 I bought from someone up the street, at a garage sale. This was shortly before dual-core processors hit the market as a common item, so the 286 was already ancient by then. Never found it anywhere else, but I later scrapped the thing without thinking to preserve any of the stuff on the disk, in part because I didn't yet realize this was rare software, and just assumed it existed other places. It was really simple even by the standards of that kind of thing, just a single encounter that started with specifying some physical stats for your, ah, partner, which affected some of the in-game descriptions. For all I know the previous owner wrote it themselves in BASIC or something, and that was the only copy in existence. |

It's not porn if it's text. It was interesting explaining the English vocabulary in a Chinese class that covered how to refer to porn.
黄色的电影 ["yellow movie"]: "dirty movie"
黄色的图片 ["yellow picture"]: "dirty picture"
黄色的杂志 ["yellow magazine"]: "dirty magazine"
黄色的书 ["yellow book"]: "romance novel"
There's a double standard in English, where pornographic books can't actually be porn because women don't consume porn.
The other interesting aspects of that lesson were that I wouldn't really have expected a module in a class formally offered through a Chinese university to focus on this topic, and that -- in the textbook's opinion -- the correct English vocabulary should have been "blue movie", "blue picture", "blue magazine", and "blue book".
(The module also covered phone sex! But for whatever reason, that isn't "yellow" in Chinese; it's "pink".)
