Rumpy Pumpy Tycoon

I've already mentioned in Online the string of adult games that has started to appear, including GTA: Vice City, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMXXX, and Private Dancer (warning: screenshots). Now it seems Playboy is planning to get into the act with a Civilization-style empire building game. "The world-builder simulation will allow players to walk in the slippers of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner while building the Playboy empire and living the Playboy lifestyle," it says here. But if this is your bag, you will have to wait until 2004. (The LA Times has a slightly longer story but its page produced at least three pop-ups, which makes it seem more like a spam site.)
