The Boobs: Firstly, if you're thinking this looks more like a snuff film from the mid-1990s (with a gun held to the young girl's head just out of shot) rather than a video game, nobody could blame you. Yakyuken Special is a video game version of the famous Japanese game Yakyuken, which is essentially strip rock-paper-scissors, with a player victory resulting in them being "rewarded" with an awkward, poorly-shot video of a demure Japanese woman taking her clothes off to cheesy music. But Was The Game Any Good?: In case you hadn't guessed, no, hence why the game was never released outside of Japan. Going by the litany of videos posted to YouTube, Yakyuken isn't so much sexy as a game that just makes you feel sorry for the women involved, almost all of whom appear to be wanting to be anywhere else. Plus, who seriously buys a rock-paper-scissors video game? Still, the Yakyuken video game genre has been popular in the country for over 3 decades, so screw us, right?
