I admit I have strong personal bias against “sliding tile” puzzle games, but I still maintain this might be the most unfun adult arcade game ever made.
Simply solve the sliding tile puzzles to uncover the nudies, which as you can see from the screenshots are not colored correctly by MAME (and I wouldn’t expect anyone to waste any more time on getting this garbo working 100% right). I actually thought that was the only interesting bit though, gives the game kinda a surrealist vibe. Particularly as MIDI “O Susana” gently plays in the background.
You’re hampered in your peeping efforts by a fairly stringent timer, and also the most ludicrously fast “continue” countdown I’ve ever seen in my life (I’m surprised more games didn’t use this as a carny trick to get you to commit more money to the machine up front). No worries if you’re not up to the challenge, however – just let the attract mode sit and it gradually shows you how to solve every puzzle, including the reward pictures!
So yeah I can see where this one didn’t go over with either players or arcade owners. Made by an outfit called Sang Ho Soft which, as far as I can tell, only put out a handful of these peeping tile puzzle games in the early 90s before disappearing.
