Introduction (INTR)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
****DISCLAIMER****
This guide is written for a game that is labeled "Adults Only."  The game 
depicts nudity and this guide does not ignore that fact.  If you are morally 
opposed to nudity or are otherwise not legally able to view or read about it, 
please stop reading here and click the "back" button to return to where you 
came from.  I tried my best to avoid using vulgar language throughout this 
guide, but there are times where I felt it necessary to convey the exact 
message the game had, using language that would be considered offensive to 
some.  Please be aware that by reading past this point, you are doing so at 
your own risk and you may find objectionable words.  I cannot be held 
responsible if you find this guide to go against your morals and convictions.


Sex for the 3DO is one of the many adult titles that Vivid Interactive 
released during the early 90's.  Like all of their other titles, this "game" 
is very ambiguous and not very erotic.  There is indeed a story line within 
this interactive movie, though it is buried under poor acting and terrible 
editing.  This guide is intended to help you understand what is going on in 
each chapter of the movie, as well as give you some basic instruction on how 
to play it.  If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail them to 
me.  You can find my e-mail address at the beginning of this guide.

Plot Analysis

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1 (CHP1)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We first see a guy, who we later learned is named Allen in black and white on 
what appears to be a 1950's style television.  He is talking about a woman at 
his office that he always invasions naked.  He says that he is so infatuated 
with her that he has actually never seen her clothed when she walks in.  He 
talks about what it would be like to touch, taste and smell her.

We then move on to see a bunch of seemingly random clips of many different 
women strewn together in what seems like an editing room joke more than 
anything.  It starts out with several girls dancing at a club.  We have to 
presume that this is what Allen actually sees one night because strewn 
throughout these clips of the ladies dancing are clips depicting them in 
sexual acts.  These clips are Allen's fantasies.

Many of the clips feature two of the three women, if not all three, engaging 
one another in a variety of scenes.  We see them fire side, pool side, in a 
bed, in a hot tub and on a couch.  Some of the clips also feature a man.  He 
is seen only briefly in the scene with all three women and is otherwise only 
seen with one woman at a time.  

There is no nudity from the waist down in any clip.  At one point a car is 
shown traveling down a tunnel but the camera captures all the light as it 
moves on one frame, so the headlights look blurred.  This is near the end of 
the scene.  A car entering a tunnel (or any vehicle entering a tunnel) is 
often an American euphemism for intercourse.  




----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 2 (CHP2)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next scene starts out with our buddy Allen sleeping with a huge smile on 
his face.  He scene then transfers to a shot of him sitting at a table 
watching a sexy woman across the room.  This is a dream sequence.  The girl 
is one of the girls from the club in the previous chapter.

She will slowly remove her clothes and touch herself as Allen watches from 
the other side of the room.  After revealing her breasts, she calls Allen 
over to her with a motion of her finger.  Allen then kisses her and re cut 
back to him sleeping.

We are then shown a completely different scene that takes place within an 
office between a man and a woman.  These two are clearly engaged in sex and 
it appears as if this is perhaps something Allen witnessed while at work 
because it takes place in an office type area.  We are still shown small 
clips of Allen sleeping, so this part is relevant to his dream.  Whether or 
not it actually happened is a mystery, but it is difficult to imagine anyone 
having a sexual dream about a couple without being a part of that couple.

Eventually we go back to Allen dreaming of himself.  Spliced in here are 
scenes of the office escapade with the final scene being Allen pulling his 
hand out of his pants and waking up.  Allen is obviously infatuated with both 
of these women, as shown in his dream sequences.  However, the question of 
why he only dreams of himself with one of these girls and not with the other 
has to be asked.  While the focus on the other couple was mostly on the girl, 
why wouldn't his subconscious put him into both situations?  It makes one 
wonder if that was a real event that he was using as inspiration to draw from 
in order to form his dream with the other woman.




----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 3 (CHP3)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next chapter starts with the 1950's TV again and a woman asking if Allen 
thinks about sex all the time.  We then see him in his office staring down a 
woman.  It then jumps to a beach with a man and a woman walking into a house.  
The man in the clips has long, blonde hair, but actually looks like it may be 
Allen, invasion himself with this woman in some sort of perfect, romantic 
setting.

One of the first things we see is this long haired individual taking an ice 
cube to the woman's rear end, an act a lot of people would not find intimate.  
The woman takes her clothes off and we jump to a scene in the bathroom 
between the two.  She is up on the counter while having sex with the man.  If 
you look at the mirror behind them closely, when she thrusts towards the man, 
you can see the camera for a brief moment.

The view then switches to one shot entirely in the mirror.  It switches 
around a few more times until you see just the face of the woman enjoying 
herself.  We then see who is presumably Allen laying on his back as she falls 
down to him, exhausted.

If this is indeed Allen, one has to wonder why his appearance changes so 
much.  He has the same pointy nose as Allen does, but the hair style and 
color are gone.  Also, his coke-bottle glasses are gone, which are his most 
identifiable feature.  It would appear that Allen feels inferior with his 
look and has to change it in his dreams and fantasies in order to be 
attractive to women.  

One would think that a man's sexual fantasies would involve women liking him 
for who he is and wanting to be with him like that, rather than him having to 
change his look in order to have females desire him.  However, the game may 
just be producing an image that is pleasing to the eye because a naked ugly 
guy is a lot less fun than a naked good looking guy.





----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 4 (CHP4)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This chapter starts out with Allen having a birthday party.  It is nothing 
more than a cleaver set up for him to have another fantasy about the woman at 
work, who we find out is named Megan.  Allen says he was with Sharon Stone 
twice that night, but no one believes him.  They talk about needing to find 
him a girl, when one asks about the receptionist that he always is infatuated 
with.  

His fantasy starts out with him watching a girl as she is walking up the 
stairs in a short dress.  It then turns out that is just actually watching a 
porno.  Spliced in with these are sots of Megan, the porno he is watching, 
and him dancing in an apron for some unknown reason.  He runs into a kitchen 
and steals a cooked turkey, then opens his closet and his porn collection 
falls out.  

We then see Megan walking around in the office in her underwear with Allen 
watching.  There will be scenes from the porno, the office and at his home, 
all splice together in two to three second bursts throughout this chapter.  
There will be a scene where Megan comes home to Allen who has dinner all 
cooked and ready to eat. 

These scenes all represent how he thinks about Megan no matter what he is 
doing.  Even as he is watching porn, he envisions her in the movies.  He will 
make a dinner, even steal it, for her, even though she is not with him, but 
then imagine eating it with her.  Every single moment of his life is spent 
thinking about her, often naked or nearly naked.  




----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 5 (CHP5)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final chapter shows Allen saying sex is a natural function like eating 
is.  Here we will see many clips, some that were shown in the first chapter, 
and some new ones.  

There will prominently be a scene with a woman pushing a man onto a bed and 
climbing on top of him.  In the background, next to a window, we see a 
telescope.  One can only assume this is another one of Allen's fantasies 
where he has to change his look, but this time we can see he does not change 
his decor as he has a telescope for spying on women through their windows 
from afar.

One of the funniest scenes features a very hairy arm reaching around a 
doorway to grab a jar of Vaseline off the counter in a bathroom.  Since there 
are many repeated clips strewn throughout this chapter, it furthers the point 
that all Allen thinks of day in and day out is sex.  Quite often it is of one 
girl, and it is usually the same act over and over again.  



So what do we gain from all of this?  Not much really.  In the end, Allen's 
fantasies are just a way to show sexual acts with some sort of reasoning.  
Like most soft core porn, there has to be a story line, although it is never 
good.  This is just another shining example.  Using the fantasies of a 30-
something is just a way to get multiple women into one "game."  What he can 
take away from this is that maybe in the early 90's, this was a passable 
excuse for porn, but by today's standards, this is just laughable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q:  What is this game?
A:  This is less of a game and more of an interactive movie.  It essentially 
is a porn movie for the 3DO.  A very bad, soft core porn movie for the 3DO.

Q:  How much nudity is there?
A:  The only real nudity are exposed breasts.  Several different women expose 
their breasts at various times.  There are other situations where full nudity 
is implied, but nothing can actually be seen.  The camera is on the side of a 
couple engaging in intercourse, but all you can see are the legs and the 
breasts of the woman, and the top half of the man.  

Q:  How graphic is this game?
A:  There will be times where thongs are shown as well as heads in between 
the legs of women.  There are some lesbian scenes shown, where women take 
each others clothes off, down to their panties and put each others breasts in 
their mouths.  There is one chapter where it is clear that a man and a woman 
are having sex, although you can only see her breasts.  There are two scenes, 
one featuring two women and one with a man and a woman, where you can clearly 
see them performing oral sex on a woman.  The camera shots are from afar and 
show the entire bodies of both individuals nearly all the time.

Q:  Who is responsible for this game and when did it come out?
A:  The game was released by a company called Vivid Interactive in 1995.  I 
believe Vivid Interactive to be a division of the same company that recently 
said it had a sex tape of Jimmie Hendrix, but I am not certain.  If anyone 
knows for sure, please let me know.  

Q:  Does Vivid Interactive still produce games today?
A:  As far as I know, Vivid Interactive is no longer producing anything for 
any video game system and no current system allows adult only titles to be 
produced for it.

Q:  Where can I get a copy of this game?
A:  If you want this game, you will have to buy it on eBay as it is not for 
sale in any retail stores.  Be aware that this game will cost a lot as it has 
pretty high value amongst collectors due to it being fairly rare and of an 
adult subject matter.  Expect to pay no less than $40 US.

Q:  Do you know the names of the people in this game?
A:  According to the back of the box, it stars Nikki Dial, P.J. Sparxx, and 
Crystal Wilder.  After a quick Google Search, they all appear to be porn star 
names, but only P. J. Sparxx looked like any of the girls in the game.  If 
you want more information, I suggest you use Google to search for it.

Q:  What do you think of this game?
A:  I have a review posted here: 
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/3do/review/R121931.html  If you want the 
short version, here it is:  I think this game is pretty much worthless, other 
than for a cheap laugh.  It is fun to show off to say "Hey, look at this 
abomination!"  That's about it though.  It is neither erotic nor fun and has 
no value other than to collectors.

Q:  Why does the video play back get so jumpy?  Is my 3DO broken?
A:  No, it is the game.  The video play back gets very glitchy in the last 
couple of chapters and is just about unwatchable.  

Q:  What would you suggest as an alternative adult title for the 3DO?
A:  In North America, Neurodancer! Journey into the Neuronet is a little bit 
better because it actually has elements of gaming and makes you work for the 
nudity.  However, the women aren't as attractive.  If you have access to 
Japanese titles, I like the Virtual Cameraman series as they do present quite 
a bit of a challenge, especially if you can't read a word of Japanese like 
me.  The Yakyuukyen Special is also an interesting title that is essentially 
strip Rock, Paper, Scissors.  It does not require that you have any knowledge 
of Japanese to play, but you may not get the full experience.  It makes you 
work for the nudity, but not as much as Virtual Cameraman does.  Stay away 
from any of Vivid Interactive's other titles as well as Plumber's Don't Wear 
Ties.

Q:  Are there any cheats or codes for this game?
A:  I do not know of any.  If there were, I cannot imagine what they would 
do, other than possibly show the credits.

Q:  Can I host this guide on my site?
A:  No.  I do not allow anyone to use my guides without expressed, written 
permission.  I do not give permission unless I am asked, specifically, about 
this guide.  I do not like automated e-mails.  I will most likely only allow 
my guide to be hosted on a small website, usually one centered around the 
game or system my guide is for.  For more information, see the Copyright 
section of this guide, at the bottom.  Use of this guide without my 
permission is considered theft and will be reported to the proper 
authorities.  

Q:  How do I contact you about this guide?
A:  E-mail is the best way to do so.  My e-mail can be found at the beginning 
or the end of this guide, just remember to take the numbers 123 out of it 
because they do not belong.  I keep them there to prevent auto scanning 
websites from obtaining my e-mail address.  Alternatively, you can also 
contact me via MSN using the same e-mail address or on AIM using the screen 
name ArguroDeXill.  While I am almost always online, I am not always at my 
computer and it may take as many as 8 hours to get a reply from me.  Just be 
patient if this is the contact method of choice.  I am not ignoring you, 
simply doing something away from the computer.

Q:  What other guides have you done?
A:  Just simply click on the name Arguro at the very top or the very bottom 
(orange text in a black box) of this guide and it will take you to my 
contributor page.  From there you can see all the different things I have 
contributed to Gamefaqs.

Q:  I really like your guides.  Can I donate money to you in support?
A:  If you really want to, you can send a Pay Pal payment to my e-mail 
address which is at the top or bottom of this guide.  Please understand that 
any donated money does not mean I will name you in my guide.  It also does 
not mean I will do any special work for you and it certainly does not give 
you any rights to host this guide or publish it anywhere.  I do not want the 
user to feel obligated to pay me in any means.  This is a free guide for 
personal, private home use.  I will not reject your offer to pay me, but I do 
not want you to feel it is necessary.  If you do decide to donate to me, 
please only donate what amount you are comfortable with, even if it is a 
single penny.  Once a donation is made, it is final and there will be no 
refunds.  This is an odd question and I debated about adding it for a long 
time, but when I saw other FAQ authors had a similar question, I felt it 
would be a valid addition.
