Basic Story
You have tickets to the Raging Hormones concert tonight. They may not be your
absolute favorite band but they are Amy's. Amy is a girl from work that you
really want to get to know better and there is no way that she will not be at
the concert tonight.
Overall Thoughts
The game has a decent pace and good writing. It is very short but it was a
mini-comp entry so that's not too surprising.
Puzzles/Game Play
There are no puzzles in the game at all. The author warns us about this in his
readme file and he is a man of his word. There are just a few preliminaries to
get through before getting to the sex.
Sex
Most of the sexual responses in the game tend to be a bit short, but what's
there is well written and pretty hot. Actually, I think I enjoyed the initial
foreplay with Amy at the concert more that the actual sex scene itself. It's
probably the exhibitionist in me, but something about the idea doing things like
that with a girl in a public place gets to me.
The main sex scene is pretty straightforward and while you don't have to go in
an exact order, you do have to do a bit before jumping into the main course.
That isn't a complaint, just a comment. I actually think that doing it this way
is a good compromise between having all commands available from the beginning
and having a full arousal system where you have to sit through the same block of
repeating text over and over again. If you were playing the game like normal not
trying to break it (like I tend to do when I'm testing or reviewing one) you
probably wouldn't even notice.
One command that I felt was conspicuous in its absence was spanking. A couple of
the responses more than suggest that Amy likes a bit of pain mixed in with her
pleasure so spanking seemed like a natural, but the game doesn't even recognize
the word. Oh well.
By the way, there is no anal sex in this game and trust me, Amy is a girl that
you really, really don't want to press the issue with. Of course, with that
comment I have just about guaranteed that anyone playing this game WILL press
the matter, but don't say you weren't warned.
Technical
I didn't find any major bugs in the game although, because of the short size and
simple format, I wouldn't really expect to find many. One bug I did find can be
mentioned in the same breath with something I liked. When it comes time for Amy
to loose her clothing you can either do it for her or have her do it herself and
the game will respond accordingly for removing her shirt and jeans. This is a
little thing, but it is a nice touch nonetheless. The problem comes when it's
time to get rid of her underwear. Here you have to do it yourself because if you
ask her to do it the game tells you that she is still wearing her shirt and
jeans (which she isn't). An unfortunate bug, but not really that big of a deal.
Final Thoughts
A solid little game for a mini-comp entry. Nothing really bad about it but
nothing exceptional either means that it gets a pretty average grade. Still, I
feel it is well worth the few minutes that it will take you to play it.

I better tread careful here. Snarfbert is my most loyal
beta tester. Heh heh.
The author half-apologizes in the introduction for the text dumps the player
must sift through while playing. He also gives the player a code halfway through
the game so that they can skip the first half if they so choose (and are
allergic to the save option).
However, the first half of the game, text dumps and all, is the best part. The
author uses HTML coding effectively, and does create a decent atmosphere for the
mosh pit the PC finds himself in. Also, he does a masterful job of building
sexual tension between the PC and the desire of lust.
Then there’s the second half of the game, the free for all fuck of the unlikely
virgin (whoops...I hope that doesn’t spoil it for anyone). I just don’t buy it.
The main problem I have is that the PC begins talking, and therefore demystifies
his facade as a sexy, mysterious, and confident man who was able to lure this
girl into his arms. In short, he sounds like a wussified--do anything to make
the girl happy--dork that probably plays adult interactive fiction to get his
rocks off.
It works only in that the chick you pick up, seemingly rebellious and wild,
turns out to be meek and timid. The various descriptions the PC gives for the
girl become a little schizophrenic, so it’s difficult to really grasp any
personality. Therefore, by the end of the game, I had no desire to slip her the
hot beef injection.
The game’s first half, with the believable atmosphere and tension, may well be
the best in the competition. However, the second half becomes nothing more than
your typical, forgettable, porn flick. Although, I did laugh out loud once
(always welcome, even if the joke is out of context), and the “alternate” ending
was...interesting.
To end on a good note, I look forward to playing future releases of Snarfbert’s.
Amy and the Raging Hormones placed a respectable 4th on my ballot.
