ScuzzBlog: Diaries April 2022 Entry 18th April 2022: Post 1: Porn on the Amiga. Porn on the Amiga. When Amiga Computing printed their article regarding the concerns they had in respect of downloading porn on the Amiga, I guess the revolution of the internet had hardly taken hold. What was to follow was a deluge of imagery that I doubt anyone could have imagined in the early nineties. I once offered a test to a young student at work in the late nineties. I asked that they give me a truly innocent subject and I guaranteed that in three clicks we would be offered a link related to sex. The suggestion was paper-clip... and it took just two searches before we had our winning page. I sense that maybe today's society is a little more open minded about such things, but obviously Amiga Computing felt the need to discuss the matter openly in their magazine. I was quite shocked in the day by their images. There really hadn't been any suggestive pictures in an Amiga magazine to my knowledge. The closest the Amiga got to rude stuff was the odd CD disc on offer in the adds to the rear of the magazine. The amount of none sexually related content was at a ratio 99.9 to .1 and some PD houses never even bothered. A few games had made sexual references, such as Larry and the rude scene in DreamWeb. But really the Amiga had been spared the crude and lewd world of porn. In all the years of collecting disks and computers I very rarely came across anything littering disks and drives. This isn't to say it wasn't present, just that it was generally very rare. Of all the games I acquired only a couple were explicitly aimed at teasing the user with sexual imagery. Strip Pot and Deluxe Strip Poker. Both of which are so bad as to be more hilarious than sexual. There were the odd slide shows on PD disks but even these were very badly scanned and blurred ... I am told. For a while the card sets of Klondike were quite popular, but in truth if that was about as hardcore as it was going to get then Amiga Computing need not have worried. Magazines write up to the very end of mainstream Amiga publications, rarely if ever dwelled on sexual content. I do believe that the Amiga community was and still is more nerdish about such matters, and tend to be solid gamers for the most part focussed on less amorous content. Anyhoo !! For my part the page marker in this magazine is for the wonderful icon editing software that came free on the cover disk. So I guess point in fact as they say. I'm a nerd when it comes to such things... an Amiga Pervert. So funny. Glad we got that out the way. Tomorrow I feature Elvira again who is what you would call a tasty chick. And marks out of ten I'd give her one .... I can't believe I just said that. Better go now. Porn on the Amiga.
